[Written Contracts versus Exclusive Written Contracts]

I use written contracts for my developmental and lower rung talent.  This way I know they aren’t going to get poached after they’ve developed but before I can work them in and also it allows them to take bookings elsewhere.  I figure the more they work the better. 
 

The guys who are the core of my roster I sign to exclusive deals as soon as I can.  I’ve had a few too many guy gets injured working for whomever right before a big payoff occurs. 

[Random Teams That Worked Well?]

Sgt Slaughter and Tatanka as “The Americans” are one of my main tag teams in a 93 mod. Also El Hijo de Santos and Jushin Thunder liger.  Those two are pretty much the main fave teams against Art Barr/Eddie, the Dudes with Attitudes, Money Inc and Owen/Bulldog on the heel side

[Alliance exclusive contract]

I’d like to see a contract variation between exclusive and written- Alliance contracts. A wrestler under one of these contracts can sign with any other company in the alliance but not outside the alliance. I feel this better mirrors the current “Open the Forbidden Door” approach. It’s a bit different than the old NWA system where Flair or Race or whomever showed up for big shows but wasn’t really a member of Portland Wrestling or WWC or wherever. We’re seeing guys like Christian Cage show up in Impact and AEW.

[Companies with no shows]

I'm guessing that doesn't do squat for my current game but at least it will be fine for future ones... ARGH.... ok.

 

Thanks!

[Companies with no shows]

I'm playing a mid-80s mod at the moment but noticed this elsewhere. I have a number of companies that have either lost their TV deals or have debuted and have no shows. Is there a reason that they're not choosing to book events even if they're not televised?

[Worker hiatus]

I don’t mind that workers go on hiatus. But on two separate occasions I’ve had a champion go on hiatus. This means I can’t get the belt off them/wrap up their feud. Can it be changed so the worker announces he’s going on hiatus at the end of the month so the player can account for it. I feel this is more realistic than just “poof, gone”.

[Book start to finish]

Maybe I'm just missing it, but is it possible to set up my show to book from opening to main event. Right now it's booking everything finish to end.

[When you book WWE, do you abolish the women's division?]

I usually set change the women to be integrated with the rest of the roster- I've never loved the "womens division" push, but I don't abolish them entirely. Depending on the era though and the mod, I usually find the need to send large swaths down to development and enjoy when they come back up as m uch more skilled workers in 6-8 months.

[[HYPE] TNA Resurgent]

I'd think actually rather than signing worker, you keep the core roster, and a healthy sum (say $5M). There's a TON of indy talent out there, but the challenge is that you have to get them up to the level that they can draw... or do you go the high priced route? You pick up guys like Cody Rhodes and Ryback, and then start bidding on any contract that comes available?
