Do you get into National Battles as a Cult company? I know by saying that sentence it seems like I don't, I just want to make sure before I make the jump up to Cult.

<p>Does anyone have any experience signing with Canal Tres right off the bat? I saw you only had to up your production value to a certain level and they would negotiate with you. So I'm paying more for production and made a weekly show and did an event and lost about ~100K. I was using all the talent I wanted every show so I could scale down a little bit there and save some money. </p><p> </p><p>
I'm just curious if you end up getting enough from the attendance money and TV deal to break even before you go broke?</p>

In regards to qualifications for the Hall of Immortals, do any main event matches on legendary shows qualify a competitor to receive a boost towards the HoI? Like a four way match, tag team match, etc? Do those matches count or is it only singles matches?

I like a lot of the workers in TCW, but I prefer playing popularity=performance or popularity>performance. I know it's everyone's own save game and they can do what they want, but does anyone else adjust the product to pop=performance?
I'm trying it and tying it into a story where I bring in a couple big oafs (lead by Marat with Steel, Justice Jolson and Bull Wrecker at his side) where they start feuding and going over established, technically talented wrestlers (Brett Hill, Human Arensel and Joel Bryant, lead by Joshua Taylor). These guys cheat, the defenders of pure TCW wrestling don't, they clash between traditional values and wrestling and "what wrestling should be", that kinda stuff. It doesn't totally go with TCW canon since they've had some below average workers in the upper echelons of their ranks before. This is really just me trying to justify in the actual storyline the changing of the product to something that I enjoy more but also trying to make a guy like Bull Wrecker TCW champion which can still be challenging.
Anyone else playing around with something like this?

You don't even have to be super "gamey" to run these games tbh. You just have to be a little miserly and financially savy--Don't hire workers for more than bare-minimum, don't bring on 20 workers, don't pay hand out bonuses or financial perks in contracts, and keep a few workers off each card. Basically, act like that scumbag local booker/owner everyone hears about for the first year or two until you build your popularity.
The only gamey thing I'd recommend is to start with a favourable product for sponsorship, and to set-up the org with a very cheap owner. Otherwise the game is fairly true to real life.
Thanks Pogo, I appreciate the tips. I edited Rocky Mountain Wrestling down to nothing but the $1,000 and zeros everywhere else. So not a great product for sponsorship but I'm already in it so I'll see if I can dig myself out.
I didn't pre-select an owner, I got Marv Earnest which seems to be good so far. I've only been booking two matches a card (three the first month) and I'm still down about $5,000 overall but there haven't been any alarm bells yet. I've been paying my wrestlers between $400-$500 an appearance so I'm going to go back into the free agent pool and look for some cheaper talent.

Never done this before, but I'm deep into my first year with my character. I don't really know the right ways to be super game-y about running companies this small but I'm learning. Can't wait to finish my first year and roll the dice.

Yep, I posted pretty much exactly that toward the end of the 2013 alt thread.
Here's a link.Oh wow, those are great. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. Appreciate it.
