So there you have your explanation - the mediocre economy coupled with a poor wrestling industry means that the shows didn't move the needle. I normally don't bother checking such things in the editor, but I did so now and have found that my popularity has gone from 0% to a mere 1.1% in my home region over 9 months running a weekly show. I suspect that all came in the last few months when I've had mostly C- to C shows and not in the first few when I was also putting on shows that were all in the D range.</p><p> </p><p>
Realistically, if someone is going to start a 0/0/0 fed it probably would make sense to edit the initial industry and economy settings to make sure they fit with such a game, rather than being random or in a down period. Typically most people would not try to open a new business of any type during time periods where said industry is doing poorly and/or the overall economy is not doing well as it would generally lead to business failure. They might plan and work to get things set-up and ready, but the actual opening of the new business would probably be put on hold until such time that prospects look better. Unfortunately I don't think either can be edited once a game starts, but you can edit your funds to keep you alive if that becomes a problem before the world circumstances improve.</p>
