I am fairly certain that you have to recall the wrestler in question to the main roster and then send him/her away to a different company. Or at least, that's how I do it once I raid a developmental company for their tag teams and want to rebalance my companies :-) In TEW16, my guess (only a guess) is that the number amount just has a label of dollars and in theory, that could be Euro or Australian dollars or whatever. Where that would be confusing would currencies like the Japanese Yen where something like 100 Yen is just less than an American dollar and you'd see something like a worker whose US price per appearance is $1000 per show and (assuming all things are equal and no conversations like you mention) his Japanese price would be 1000 JPY or if converted, just under $10 per appearance. I'm not sure that someone working for about 1% of their normal asking price will add to the immersion.

I've used "Prize of a Generation" with Greg Gauge and Alton Vicious

So in my current 2016 SWF game, this appeared last night. Steven Parker breaks up with Persephone because she's having an affair with Vita, the female blond manager that I have used a supermodel gimmick. Parker just doesn't know how good he has it here. No, seriously, I can't recall if Persephone was bisexual before or if I changed her myself. (I'm assuming that I changed both women to be bi, but that's just a guess.) The funny part is that two of Vita's clients now hate her as they are friends with Parker. I guess I might have to move them around some.

Darn, I didn't think so, but I figured that I'd ask. Hopefully, we get that option in 2020.

Broadcaster-question. I'm playing at SWF and I have the SWF Network in the US, Mexico, and England right now. I also have an alliance and North of the Border joined it. I have not been able to figure out how to offer them a network programming slot. They have a TV show and events in Canada and another location that I can't recall right now. I have child companies in my alliance that I have been able to add their shows on the network but that's through their "Child Companies" window in SWF. NotB isn't a child company so I can't do that. Is there a way to offer a time slot on your broadcaster to a separate company? Also, will this be an option in TEW 2020?

Does TEW 2016 allow for a lumberjack match? I'm trying to build to a match with a single member of two large stables ending in a no contest, and I'd like to not end up with something like ten people from both stables combined interfering into a Sport Entertainment Ending.

Chasing Beauty Beauty's Beasts Chasing Potential For the tag team, Double J I got nothing else.

Squeeky was the wrestler of the year my most recent save for the year 2017. Then he got an 8 month back injury just before the Supreme Challenge and then came back and was addicted to pain killers and in and out of rehab for most of 2019. It's the start of 2020 and now he's back but is listed under my Time decline screen as 4 years past his prime. So I got to capitalize on his skills for only a short time frame. :-(

<p>My SWF is just coasting along with its boring storylines, but the fascinating thing for me is my four child companies. </p><p> </p><p> I bought out QAW and kept them as a women's only company, and they suddenly are at war with RIPW who doesn't have a women's division of any kind. In Europe, I have two child companies (I forgot who they are right now) who are just hostile with each other right now. But in the last 3 cases/companies, they are in my Child of SWF Alliance and share workers as needed. About once a week or so, I see a report of one of those companies tried to embarrass the other one. Seeing my women's only company badmouth my men's only company in the press is more entertaining than most of my storylines.</p>

This is why I moved to 6-month storylines. I had one storyline in 2013 that would have run for nearly three years and ended with them in the Main Event of the Supreme Challange, but I could never get one of them over past a mid-carder. At the same time, Spencer Spade went from ET to Main Eventer and had chemistry with the heel of my planned 3-year storyline. I might run a storyline longer than 6 months but generally only if there's an organic reason to do so.

It usually starts with a “holla!” and ends with a Creamsicle. And if there’s the time in between, Thundercats! Sorry, actual answer to the question. Since I normally run as SWF, I rarely have to worry about any company stealing my talent so I normally work in 6-month storylines. I pick the major players for the Main Event/World title, the mid-card title and the tag titles and place them into storylines. I then decide the main actions that I want like Heel wins a title by cheating and at which PPV. I do that for all of the major titles but try to have the blow-off match at the end of the 6 months. This allows for some mid-carder that gets a great gimmick or gains in popularly to be added to the mix in the next 6 month storyline.

The heel won the first three matches in tainted victories or cheap wins. He bragged/taunted the face and then they had a tag match where the face beat the heel giving him a storyline "confidence boost" to win the next three matches to tie the series up. I don't recall if I finished with the champ demanding a 3-way match with both of them or if I just took the penalty for the 7th match. I might have done both over the years.</p>

Starting from the Child Companies menu, you go to "Staff", "Assign Owner", "Business Skills", Then look at "Pacts". But it is available and I'll use it and thank you. I hope that the next version allows us to filter on Business Skills or easier to use alliances. Edit: Clarifying what I said with the game in front of me

I can hire staff for my Child Companies like the Owner but if I want to know who would be open to joining my "Children of SWF" alliance, how would I know that before I hire them? I've run into 2 "owners" that I hired that are just against alliances in general and then fired them for someone else.

Get them involved in the mid-card title and raise its prestige to Main Event status and demand a World Title shot. Win or lose, it normally helps push them higher on the card.</p>

<p>So two questions for everyone here</p><p> </p><p> 1) I bought out TCW as SWF and thought that I raided the entire company, but their dojo is out there independent of anyone. Now it is entirely possible that I missed a checkbox or something and didn't buy it when I had the chance. Is there a way to modify the DB of a running game to have SWF own that dojo?</p><p> </p><p> 2) I have a pair of tag teams with excellent chemistry as partners. The individuals within the teams have chemistry against each as opponents. That is Team 1 Person A & B have chemistry as a team and have positive chemistries against Team B Person A & B. I haven't seen it in the dirt sheet but are both bonuses applied in a tag match with those two teams?</p>

This worked beautifully!</p><p> </p><p> Supreme Challenge 38 is in the record books and that was the highest rated Event I've had with this save at a 98 for the entire Event.</p><p> </p><p> The opening matches were a pair of tag title matches but then my main storylines kicked in. </p><p> My "losing team must split" tag match was 93 (Fro Sure & Frantic Ali (W) vs Awesomeness). </p><p> Mainstream (W) over Erik Strong for TCW All Action Title (99). </p><p> Eddie Peak (W, tainted) over Captain Atomic for the DYI title (100 with positive chemistry which I didn't know before). </p><p> Wolf Hawkins (W) v Arron Andrews (99) for the SWF Wold and NA titles. </p><p> And my Main Event, Tommy (W, tainted) v Faith, first time ever (in this play-though) for the TCW title (99).</p><p> </p><p> With Hype videos and Interviews generally in the upper 90s I ended up with a 98 rated Event besting my couple of 97s. So, once again KnowYourEnemy, thanks for the suggestions. Now off to plan my next 6 months of storylines.</p>

I hadn't thought of the "I Quit" or "Texas Death Match" idea at all and that should help with my fears about Faith's in-ring performance. The promos for this so far have been fun. I've basically been having Faith troll Cornell every time he appears hyping his next title defense. I'm fairly certain that they have all been above 90 and most are in the 95+ range so the hype is building and I'm still 2 months from the Supreme Challenge PPV. Post-PPV, my current plan is to move Faith to be a mouthpiece for the younger guys that I'll pull from development. Use him and his golden voice as a way to get them over and then do a heel turn with some of the students and have a mentor-student match under he announces his retirement (or he dies, which ever happens first :-)

<p>So I finally figured out that I had Christian Faith and Tommy Cornell under the same promotion/roof in March 2018 (SWF). </p><p> </p><p> Tommy has the resurrected TCW title, and Faith is a 51-year-old Main Eventer in time decline (for 15 years). Faith's only top-line skill is Brawling @ 50 and a little of chain wrestling at 22, everything else is in single digits. His Basics, Psych, Safety are all in the 90s while is his stamina is at 45. Faith and Tommy have only been in battle royal matches at the same time and never in a 1-on-1 match, and I'd like to use the "Once in the Lifetime" match aim at Supreme Challenge 39 in July. </p><p> </p><p> In my head, I'm picturing Shawn Micheals vs. the Undertaker where they had the best match at Wrestlemania (both times), but I'm not sure that Faith can hold up his side of the match. I'd also like Tommy to defend the title and leave the show with it.</p><p> </p><p> Would you, random people of this forum :-), even try this match and if so, try it as the Main Event match or title match?</p><p> </p><p> Edit: In case someone asks why don't I use Jack Bruce or someone else, that's because I already wasted the first 1-on-1 match between Bruce & Tommy on a #1 contender match that ended in a sports entertainment ending when the heel's stable attacked them both. Shorter version: Didn't plan that very well.</p>

I also remembered that I could export the database into an MDB file and did that this morning and found that Champaign Lover, Axxis Jr, Bruce the Giant, and Wolf Hawkins were at least above 50% of the way there too. So I have to figure out if any of them have had a singles match before and then start a program leading to that.</p>

I used the guy as a transitional champ more so than I intended and a few weeks after he lost the title to an upcoming heel, he announced that he was starting MMA training in 4 weeks I think it was.
