This is a cool idea, but I don't think would ever happen until the game sees titles as something not assigned just to one company (like the ability for workers to defend titles for other companies). I do like the idea of alliance Hall of Fames (like the NWA Hall of Fame).

My company is finally large enough and has enough contracts to run house shows. I am eager to try to feature where I can try different wrestlers together as opponents/partners, etc. However, when I go to do so I am presented with the entire list of my roster. This is confusing - and now I need to back out of the window, look at who is on duty, then come back. It seems like it'd make more sense to only show wrestlers who are on duty as bookable to monitor for house shows. If I am going even further, it'd be nice to see only the list of workers who are eligible (Exclusive Written monthly deal) on the screen that lets you toggle if they are on or off duty.

And that's not my fault! Is he even still working?

A quick Google search uncovered this. I bet that isn't as realistic as you like. There are several free online graphic design programs like photoshop where you could draw or create a belt from pieces of others if you know what you're doing.

I don't know why I didn't see that! Thanks guys!

I'd love to be able to import free pictures into an existing saved game. I started a saved game that had very few wrestling schools to start with. Over time, many have opened and many more new workers are being generated, and I am starting to run out of free pictures for the new workers. This would also allow us to import pictures by era. Someone in a historic mod could load photos with styles suited for say the 1920's and 30's and then later add new photos with 40's and 50's styles, etc.

I have a saved game I am playing, and recently imported a few promotions into my game world. I was surprised to see that the game imported only the promotion data, but none of the events or titles associated with the promotion that were already in the database. I had one promotion that had a unique schedule and titles. I had to end up adding a second player, setting these promotions up again, and then having that player leave the game - which was a pain in the butt.

Awesome work! Would it be possible to change the install directory to be within the TEW2020 directory?

I have the opportunity to take over a competitor. My promotion is very popular in Canada, and the company I am looking to buy is popular in a few key regions in Japan, which I'd like to break into. When taking over the company, I know if I Pillage or Disband, I will absorb the company I am buying's popularity. What if I keep them open as a developmental? Will I also absorb their popularity at that point? How about if I close the development company later?

I like the TEW 2020 system far better than the old system. For my own promotion it was nice to have some of the fine detail of 2016, but when adding AI companies to a database, it was more work than I wanted to do. Now I can easily make sure I have a good mix of different products around the world. I also like the ability to transition from one to the other and see the changes to the product happening as you do over time.

It is different for each wrestler. If you open a wrestler's profile in the editor, you will see four numbers in the third column - Maturity Age, Decline Age, Relevancy Age, and Retirement Age. Maturity Age is when the wrestler's stats will be as good as they ever are, and Decline Age is when they'll start to go down in stats.

It seems when a company needs a new booker, they always look outside the promotion. One of the AI companies in my game just fired their booker and it turns out they had many workers who were very capable bookers on the roster already, but instead hired from outside and got a booker with lesser experience and skill. Is this always the case? Will companies hire bookers internally from their own roster?

I am playing a real-world mod where my promotion has a talent exchange with AEW. I took Shawn Spears on loan (Exclusive Written with AEW). Then, partway through the loan (3 appearances into an 8 apperance loan), Shawn Spears was released by AEW. It's confusing that if he's been released, he would still be working with me on Loan. On Loan from who? If he isn't employed, he can't be on loan. It feels like when a worker is on loan and gets released from the loaning company, their deal should either turn into a Verbal agreement with the same terms (and number of appearances), or the user should be allowed to re-negotiate right away. One of the most frustrating parts of this dynamic is that I can't negotiate with the wrestler until the loan is over. Again, very confusing because if he's unemployed, why not? Converting the deal to a Veral agreement would remedy this.

You do have to pay for excursions, but I have found that the deals are pretty reasonable (and usually don't include paying travel). For development, the parent company pays.

Let's say you have a promotion that has a current product of Classic Sports Entertainment. In this case, fans will expect TV shows to be 65% matches and 35% angles, won't want controversial endings. If your core product is Deathmatch Lucha Libre then the fans will expect TV shows to be 85% matches and 15% angles, will expect dangerous matches. So in this case, over time as you shift from your current product towards the core product, fans would expect your TV shows to contain more wrestling and less angles, so as booker you'll need to shift your booking, as well as start to add more dangerous matches and balance how much of the card should be dangerous and extreme matches during the transition as not to put off fans of the current product. For the sake of simplicity, we could also set WWE's core product as Classic Sports Entertainment. If you played a historical mod, you might change their current product during the late 90's to Attitude Era, knowing you will be presenting a more edgy product, but it can't last forever and eventually, you'll shift back to your core product. I hope that helps!

Current Product is just that - the product your company is currently presenting. The Core Product is what your company is at its core. Over time (the more different the product, the longer it takes) your product will drift back towards the core product. If you want an example, let me know.

Is there a way to have a TV show for an AI company stop at a certain time of year? I want to setup a company that only runs during the traditional 90's TV season (September-April or May), and then the TV should go 'dormant' for all intents and purposes until the next September. Is this doable?

The the editor, check their schedule. If you set it to "Fixed" they will run exactly as you've setup. If you use "Monthly" or something else, then the AI will generate events.

In my saved game, I've had both Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart pass away. These are two legends I would love to create memorial shows for, but I can't seem to find a way to do so in an existing save. I would love to be able to add/create a memorial show via the editor. Or, another option would be for any worker who passes away in the game (or any worker in the Hall of Immortals if you want to limit it), have a button on the news item that says "Create a Memorial Show" which could create a reoccurring year show for that worker (either in their birth month, or the date they died) that could be edited later.
