<p>So I have a weird issue. I've been putting in decent angles and matches in a 0/0/0/0 game. But for some reason I can't for the life of me elevate any of my workers past 18 popularity.</p><p> </p><p>
Nearly my entire roster is 17s, three 18s and I had a 19 for a hot second.</p><p> </p><p>
My champ has lost only three matches in two years of weekly and semi weekly shows. He's dominated a few times. But instead of gaining popularity he stays at 18, and my jobbers elevate until they're 18s too, and everyone stays there.</p><p> </p><p>
Help!</p>

The Epson L3s will work fine.
Is this one of these fancy internet japes I've heard so much about?

Who is your owner and is he on a written?
He's a user-creation, copied-and-pasted from Vince. And yes, he's written.
Edit: Just set it in the editor to Exclusive P.P.A. -- at least then I can check the night of the event, edit his wages down to $0 where I wanted them, and call it good.

I wanted to do a 0/0/0/0 game with owner goals on, but the problem is that my owner keeps increasing his wages to like $14,000. I can edit it with the editor but how do I stop him doing this?

I've had several companies hit Cult as of 1973, but none of them can survive long enough at Cult to make National. Has anyone managed to have a computer-run company hit National, or is this as impossible as it seems?

I'm a big fan. He's got the body, a unique look, he works hard and he's decent on the mic. Main eventer who can float into the upper midcard between title pushes. I am glad he lost to Show because he was getting the Super Cena treatment since Mania.
My only gripe is the way his matches are scripted. He's put on some great matches against the likes of Ziggler, ADR, Bryan and Cesaro, even Show (and I'm not generally a fan of big slow wrestlers). But until recently he was kicking out of pinfalls at one counts regularly to make him look dominant. And his brogue kick is getting as bad as the RKO. Let the fella win with White Noise or Cloverleaf every few matches so it doesn't get predictable.
I'd like to see more kick-outs at one. That's one of my favorite things about Puro that is completely ignored by the US. If they're that tired 2 minutes in that they're almost completely out (2-count) then why can they go on to kick out of 3-4 finishers in a row?

Nash discusses the interview everyone is talking about
I am surprised to say that I basically agree with the concepts he's referring to. Pro wrestling seems to me to have very few stories, in the long run, for faces. You've got:
Comeuppance (cocky youth, bad guy gets his, revenge),
Physical Imbalance (overcoming injury, david v goliath, etc), and
Going for the Gold.
Most motivations I have seen really come back to some interpretation of those 3. There might be some that I've forgotten. But while you always want to have something going on with the title, you don't want that as your Wrestlemania main event, even though the title should be on the line. As I've learned from a lot of people who are much smarter than I am, you want the conflict to build. Maybe you start with a title shot, but then you want to introduce some other elements. Maybe you have someone come in and cost the face his shot. Then you have a different story about Comeuppance, which you then roll into the title shot for WM.
The problem being that everyone is about the same size in the WWE right now. You fundamentally can't have, say, Miz-Punk as a David versus Goliath setup. They're the same size.
Now, I wouldn't agree that this would cause a slump, it just limits your options slightly.

Putting John Cena and Will Smith on the same league is not acceptable. Smith is a great actor. And putting theater ahead of tv acting is also not good. Theater had it's run. It's outdated. I don't think of someone as a lesser actor just because he needs more or less takes. I care about the final product.
Theater's not a dead medium. Don't know where you're getting that idea.
Also, Smith's not a 'great' actor. Not by comparison to other 'great' actors. He's not Gary Oldman. He's not even Eddie Murphy. He's played his cards right and he's had some success but he's not especially talented and he's not especially memorable as an actor or a musician. He's the Miz of film. Worked hard to get where he is, but in the end he won't be more than a footnote in history.
-
I didn't think the Marine was that bad at all. It was a fairly entertaining action flick.
QFT.
It was plain, but it actually played really well to Cena's strengths as a character actor. He was essentially the "serious" Cena everyone likes throughout the whole film.
-
Part of me wants to be the progressive thinker and just look at Chris Brown with an attitude of "he was wrong, he screwed up, he admitted it, lets all just move on."
I'd say he's payed his dues when he doesn't have millions of female fans who don't care that he put his girlfriend in the hospital.
-
As far as I'm concerned, Punk is the complete package. Is the the BEST worker in the ring? No, I guess not. I'd give the nod to Kurt Angle, probably, as my favorite between-the-ropes worker. But he's got a believable, well-performed arsenal in the ring, he's magic on the mic, he's got a good look, he can chain wrestle, he can brawl, he can do top-rope stuff...
Having everything is a major plus.
-
Daniel Bryan constantly lost to the likes of Darren Young and Heath Slater. Now he's World Champion.
As I understand it, the championship came essentially out of nowhere, and was a surprise to everyone. There was talk (speculation, obviously) of his being the first person to cash in and lose. So... YMMV.
-
I find that I don't like anything out of Japan more than the late 80s AJPW matches with Tenryu. :I
-
Because that's part of the job. You don't get hired at WWE without being willing to make appearances.
-
Maybe because Cody is gonna go at it long-term with Randy...
Nothing wrong about Ryder losing, him getting a PPV spot should be the headlines. lol. The superkick was well done anyway.
Punk well.. I can't ignore the backseat on him anymore, bit of a shame but he will get his due pretty quickly. This chapter is clearly to elevate Miz/Truth.
Are we still playing the "wait and see" game with Orton's feuds? I forgot. Christian says hi, by the way.
-
I hate it when they shout that. Maybe I just don't understand about Stone Cold, since I didn't watch wrestling when he was a thing. But I find it frustrating and disrespectful. Can good performers make it work, sure. But they shouldn't have to.
-
Oh, and am I late to the party in realizing how they're pumping in CM Punk chants? I've been a bit suspicious at times these past couple months, but tonight was the tipping point. I find it hard to believe fans in Mexico City spontaneously started and perfectly synchronized a loud CM Punk chant within seconds (with no one visible to the camera actually chanting), that chant dying out seconds later, and there being absolutely no hint of the Spanish pronunciations of some of those letters, which are notably different. The 'u', especially, is a pretty dead give-away.
Obviously a lot of pro wrestling is smoke and mirrors, but pumping in crowd chants, at least to me, just seems dishonest.
Also, in addition to what eayragt was saying, usually the little bit of delay they DO have is spent pumping the crowd OUT. Why do you think it is that the cheering in a huge, 20,000 person stadium is no louder than it was in RoH's 2003 shows where 300 people attended? Do people care THAT MUCH LESS? No, I think it's that they edit out booing and turn down the crowd in general.

And the idea that he's keeping up the schtick to keep the mask to use as a weapon makes no sense, either. We can all see he's not disfigured, we all know that he doesn't need the mask, what person in control is seriously letting him keep it? And why would he want it as a weapon? It's plastic.
(Bolding is my emphasis; italics is original)
But so are cars.

I'm not a big fan of Rhodes right now. I think his promos are hit-and-miss, and I hate his character. I just can't suspend my disbelief enough to listen to a handsome guy complain about how disfigured he is/has been when he's wearing a clear mask that shows he is still as handsome as he ever was.
I'm a huge mark for Dolph Ziggler, though. I think his body language is top-notch, his promos are more than good enough, and his selling is maybe the best in the WWE. He's shows great heel mannerisms, and with his ability to sell, I imagine he'd make a great undersized babyface that struggles to take down the bigger heels.
I don't know that I agree with Nedew, above, entirely. The problem is just that he thinks he's disfigured. He's crazy. However, it seems more like he's afraid of being disfigured again, which is why he can take the mask off when it's opportune; he doesn't need to worry about getting clobbered when Orton isn't looking, so he can use it to an advantage.

1. CM Punk. He won't be in crap feuds forever.
2. Wade Barrett. Don't care that he's been crapped on by the storylines since the Nexus. Just don't care. I like his look.
3. Daniel Bryan.
4. Ziggler
5. Beth Phoenix

90 days? I'd have given him 30.
Here's my ideal: They spend a week, maybe 2, trying to pretend nothing happened. Have one of the tournament rounds per week from week 3 on. (that way, you can have the finals at PPV). Have Vince come out for all the matches to keep an eye on his title, to ensure that there's no funny business etc etc. Week 3, some time during the matches, have someone (maybe John Laurinitis I guess) come out, whisper in Vince's ear. Vince looks mad; you know how good he is at looking mad. However, he says nothing. Matches continue, but you have the commentators say something about "I wonder what Johnny Ace just told Mr McMahon?" Next week, same thing, except this time he shouts "He said WHAT?!" and walk off. Matches continue.
PPV shows up, Cena vs. Mysterio, blah blah blah. Cena wins, and then Cult of Personality hits the speakers and Punk walks out in his ring gear, walks to the ring, and you have a staredown.
It can be hard to remember things for months--although to me it was a big wait for South Park to start back up because of how they'd ended the half-season. People CAN remember, but with Vince's booking style there's no REASON to remember.

Well... I don't mind how it is.
If you really want to know what I'd like to see changed, though...
I really like the style TNA is using right now with the ramp leading directly to the ring. I believe NJPW also uses a similar style for their big show in January, but I could be mistaken. As much as it's not traditional, I feel like it looks really classy, and I absolutely love it.
I'd like to see two entrances to the ring, at least for PPVs. This is somewhat counter to my previous point, but I've seen it done.
I'd like to see the entrance archways reworked. I don't like the huge video-wall; seeing those giant pixels really bothers me for some reason, and I'd rather see just a wall. Possibly padded.
I'd like to see Lawler replaced on commentary. Cole can stay, but I would like him to take a more back-seat role and be more heelish. Maybe Lawler can stick around as a manager, if he can be the serious Lawler we saw in the feuds with Miz and Cole. Put him on a Diva, and have him basically try to be her mentor/bodyguard. But you'd need to make his character a lot less of a pervert to do something like that. It might, possibly, work with JR as lead play-by-play, Cole being a heel color man, and then Booker doing comedy.
I'd like to stop seeing John Laurinitis. He makes everyone look short.
I'd like to see less space at ringside. Not TOO much less, but trim a foot or two off each side.

Yep. WWE misleads people. You guys are aware undertaker really doesn't have magical powers right?
It's the same argument as I hear a lot about corporations. Some people say that corporations need to be better, because they're lying, stealing, heartless automatons run by sociopaths.
Other people say that corporations have always been thus and you should have learned your lesson.
It's an endless debate. Just agree to disagree, you'll get the pettiness over with faster.

Coo position her... I guess he meant he. At any rate, the guy's post or whatever it is, it's almost as if he's making an april fools post or something. No facts, no actual reason to think like him. Nothing of substance to really debate with him about, because he's obviously not watching the show, and obviously doesn't realise Punk's getting more time, probably twice as much time then the people he says is so much higher above him. Just a totally off post, completely lacking any form of truth to it....
I don't know, man. I sat down to finally catch up on RAW yesterday, and what I discovered (aside from that reading a textbook and watching RAW is really hard) was that yeah, they seem to be giving him a lot of time, but it's all stuff that, when explained one-after-another, makes you scratch your head.
The question you have to ask is, what's the difference between where he was before this and where he is now, in real terms? The last few months, sure. He's been a little behind the times. But when he was the leader of the New Nexus? He was on TV this much. He's on TV a little more, now? What is it exactly?

<p>A question which REALLY doesn't deserve its own thread: Are non-rules stipulations separate match types? Like, is a Lower Leaves Town match, or a Mask vs Hair match, a different match type altogether?</p><p> </p><p>
It's certainly a gimmick and a unique draw, but on the other hand it's no different than a standard singles match in terms of type, style, etc. The only difference would be, <strong>maybe</strong> Prestige.</p>
