I think maybe 50ish? I noticed my attendance (using free tickets and with a Wrestleworld deal) really skyrocketed in the space of about eight shows; I went from getting around 4,000 a show to repeatedly selling out a 10,000 arena. (I'd just won a regional battle, which helped.)

Default CVerse, Cverse 97, Alt CVerse 18, and Thunderverse are the four things I play.

For show 2, we’re going for Hawaii, where Nicky and Rich are both super popular. That’s obviously already set up from last week and will include an opening angle when Nicky comes out to announce that the USPW board of directors have said that as Money vs Wolf is locked in for Stars and Stripes Forever he’s been told that he can have his title shot RIGHT HERE TONIGHT! There’ll be a ton of angles to build for it – promos, entrances and a music video. Also set up from last week, although with significantly less potential for high-scoring angles, are Law vs T-Rex and Pariah/Sara Marie/Melody vs The Triumvirate. The women’s match will end with an out of control brawl after a ton of interference, leading to a battle royal being set up for next week, winner getting a shot at Jamie Quine’s title at Stars and Stripes Forever. We didn’t officially say we were going to do Casey Valentine vs Running Wolf, but it seems like an obvious one. Wolf will come down to the ring and demand an explanation from Valentine, Money will come out to taunt him, and Valentine will blindside him after coming through the crowd, leading straight into a match. Frehley basically just needs squash wins to boost his momentum. I’m happy to sacrifice Howard and Rayne to him as singles stars beating tag wrestlers fairly easily seems reasonable to me. I’ll have those matches in week 2 and 4 and, to avoid making them look too bad, I’ll give them a tag win over him in week 3 where he just grabs a weak partner and tells him to stand on the outside and let him do all the work. Partner will get over-excited and blind tag in, get beaten by Storm, and Frehley will destroy him afterwards. Bad Intentions are on their way to a tag title match and I have no idea how to get them there. Let’s give them a win over American Gold to start off with. Cold Warriors attacked Texas Express last week, Express want revenge but I don’t want to give away a match that’s happening on Stars and Stripes forever on American Wrestling, so let’s throw in Kirk Jameson and Jimmy Chipolata to make it a six-man, with Chipolata putting over Karloff to try and get his momentum up from cooled if possible. One more tag involving people who are set to meet up at the PPV – Shaffer, furious about Smith ruining his chances last week, will come down and challenge him to a six-man tag. We’ll throw The Mayhem Express in as Shaffer’s partners and add tag champions Jett and Moor, who I really need to give a win to, on Smith’s side. So for episode 2: World title: Rich Money © vs Nicky Champion Rick Law vs T-Rex Casey Valentine vs Running Wolf Pariah/Sara Marie/Melody vs Alicia Strong/Glorious Gloria/Juliette King Steve Frehley vs Eddie Howard Bad Intentions vs American Gold Texas Express/Jimmy Chipolata vs Cold Warriors/Kirk Jameson Smith/Jett and Moor vs Shaffer/Mayhem Express

It's there, just in a v weird place. Go to 'book angle' or 'book match' and then it's the icon next to the question mark in the top right.

That looks like a pretty good score to me, well done! Key thing is to remember that most of the matches aren't actually going to play in to your final grade, as Quest says above. I'd be interested to see what kind of score that show would get under a different product - I know the Fast and Furious one he mentioned he's thinking of changing it to is weighted up to 75:25 on in ring which would definitely help people like those in the three way tag, where everyone's got a best primary skill (brawling, puro, technical or aerial) which is significantly higher than their popularity.

(I know I was confused as I expected to do it through main broadcasting section!) If you want to try that and reply to say if it worked, if that’s not it and nobody else knows I’ll load up a save and poke around and try and remind myself.</p>

Technical masterclasses can bomb badly depending on placement on the card. Trying it with regular match aim, victor picked, open match, call in ring and slow build might be better. (I know some people swear by epic and/or spectacle, I've never figured out good times to use either!)

This was the experience I was having, yeah! I've found PrtScr to be much more reliable.

Snipping Tool is weird for me on certain screens for some reason. (This may be just me missing something obvious, tbf!)

When running a show, right click on the bit where it says that and it will make it editable. (Fairly sure that it remembers your choice so subsequent segments will already be editable.) No, just a summary.

Awesome! For picture uploading, I normally press PrtScr, paste into MS Paint (or similar) and upload to imgur, then select the message board link it gives you.

Thanks Quest. OP, if it's not a stats issue would probably be most useful to know area you're holding the shows, what road agent notes you're using, length of matches, and dirt sheet feedback you're getting. (If dirt sheet isn't enabled in your game at the moment, go to options, your preferences, and tick 'enable dirt sheet' to turn it on.)

Hi OP, not sure if you saw my initial response in your other thread about this (copied and pasted below just in case) but would be great to have an idea of some of the answers to these as it'll be easier to help you get good ratings, or at least explain why you're not getting the ratings you're expecting, then.

I would agree with this, yeah. I'm feeling relatively lucky because a lot of my requests got patched in. I think that the wages thing I keep going on about has a chance of making it in, but if it doesn't, it would be good to know (because then I'll shut up about it and not waste my time trying to point out examples of why I think stuff should be changed!) I'm sure a lot of people feel similarly about points they've made several times - a lot of the time for one of these suggestions it's hard to know whether it's not in because Adam disagrees, or because it's a programming limitation, or because it's something under consideration.

In game, there's a manual you can read by clicking the question mark at the top right corner of the screen. It will generally take you to the most relevant place for the screen you're on.
