If a worker has a Herniated Spinal Disc, what are the risks if I go with surgery? Is it worth it?

Ricky DeColt seems underrated, at least by CGC. In my saves, even when CGC is at Cult, they leave him contracted as a non-exclusive PPA. I always sign him, and he becomes a top talent for me.

It was a big acquisition for my Cult fed.</p>

I played a fed in Mexico, but I built it more around Modern than Lucha style. There are so many great workers to snap up. Mr. Lucha III was my figure head, and Mitico and Extraordinario were my next two. I can't believe Mr. Lucha stays unemployed as long as he does. He has been fantastic in every save I've used him. Right now, I'm running a Realism key fed with only medium Modern, and Lucha and Mitico are still two of my top performers.</p>

Sterling Whitlock is a great young prospect if you are running a performance fed.

I'm at Regional, with a popularity of C- in my home region. All of my workers are capping out at 41 popularity, and have been for almost a year at least. I've never noticed this happening before. Anyone know why? I put on C+ to B shows, and they all raise my popularity.

Cali Slick is carrying my company right now.

I just fired Ernest Youngman, my former champion. He'd showed up wasted to a show for the 3rd time in 3 months. He was my top performer, but could no longer be relied upon, and the incidents were killing the locker room.

I don't know, but I can say that I often play with products that make gimmicks irrelevant, and I just set everyone's gimmick to none. I never get any negative notes about it.

I am in November 2016 of the C-Verse playing Summit Wrestling in the Pacific Northwest. Ernest Youngman has been my top performer by a wide margin, and had held the title since March, but in October, he showed up too high on pain killers to work at a weekly show. I immediately took the title off of him on the next show, and then he showed up to my big quarterly show unable to perform as well. Right now, I am scrambling to build up Donte Dunn as our new top guy while Ernest cannot be trusted with the title. Ernest and his buddy Avalanche Takano, another main eventer, are angry at the punishments I've dealt out to Ernest, and the locker room is in turmoil.

If you want someone young and cheap to carry promos and help improve other workers on the mic, Garry the Entertainer is very useful.

His problem at the beginning is his horrendous ratings in psychology and safety. He was botching all over for me, but he does have big potential. You played out your save longer than I did when I had him, but he was coming along really well.</p>

As for #2: Except for ppv buy-rates, over-exposure is not a thing in this game according to the player's handbook. So I don't think that's the issue here.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> That was what I thought too, and there is no penalty for running multiple events on their own, but when I started televising the weekly ones, I noticed a drop. Several pages back, I asked the related question of why should I ever do TV shows when I can just televise events, and others said that they've seen the attendance drop as well when they televise weekly events.</p><p> </p><p> If you go that route, please let me know what you discover. I don't have a lot of data, and I'd be happy to be wrong. Also, I've never actually run a touring schedule, so that all may work differently as well.</p>
