Defmall

<p>Just completed 1994 Starcade (WCW)</p><p> Highlights of the event include:</p><p> </p><p> World Champion Hulk Hogan, with Mr T in his corner, successfully defended against Vader...despite the interference from Kevin Sullivan and a SECOND Vader! (Anvalanche/Earthquake)</p><p> </p><p> US Champion Steve Austin lost the title to Randy Savage in a triangle match that included Dustin Rhodes as the third participant.</p><p> </p><p> Ron Simmons debuted "Doom II" (Butch Reed and Tony Atlas) and they fought to a double count out against Sting and Terry Funk.</p><p> </p><p> TV Champion Ricky Steamboat defeated Lord Steven Regal in a submimisson match.</p><p> </p><p> Harlem Heat won back the Tag Team titles in a 4-team elimination match. The ending came when Sista Sherri, who left Harlem Heat for her "boyfriend" Dick Slater & partner Billy Jack Haynes, RETURNED to the Harlem Heat by costing Slater the titles.</p><p> </p><p> And, the long awaited return of the Four Horsemen occurred!</p><p> Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Brian Pillman and...MENG!</p><p> (the version that wore a suit and sunglasses, of course)</p><p> (( sounds nutty, but it's all per a long running storyline ))</p><p> </p><p> 1995 will be a helluva year in WCW...</p>

<p><< Just do the math. Add up the regions, divide by number of regions. >></p><p> </p><p> << This usually happens with the more popular workers, so on the news page you could go to the "Most Popular" tab, pick a region and look for your worker there. Once you click on them, their overall pop in the region shows on the side >></p><p> </p><p> I think I'm asking my question incorrectly.</p><p> If I am playing a National, like WWE, and Vince's Owner's Goal is that John Cena much achieve a 75 popularity.... where do I see that figure? Is it "no less than 75" in ALL US regions? Is it an "average" of 75 in all US Regions?</p>

<p>Popularity</p><p> </p><p> I think I'm misunderstanding something about popularity rating.</p><p> When I look at a wrestler on my roster, I can see his Popularity score per region.</p><p> But sometimes I get an owner goal saying so-and-so needs to reach X popularity by a certain time.</p><p> How do I find the OVERALL popularity score? Am I looking in the wrong place?</p>

I am in the middle of a WCW save and I'm realizing I dont care much for the "Storylines" negative impact on my shows. Is this something I can change in the User Preferences? (I dont see the option, but perhaps I'm just not seeing it?)

<p>Conversion table for stats?</p><p> </p><p> Has anyone made a Universal Conversion Table for stats?</p><p> </p><p> Here is why I ask - I am looking at the referees in my RW mod. One is a "C+", one is a "82" and one is rated "Very Good".</p><p> </p><p> I can certainly deal with it for context, but does anyone know of a table that compares number grades, letter grades and grades that are "phrases"???</p>

<p>Why does...</p><p> </p><p> Why does the jump to "Cult" size hurt so much, financially.</p><p> </p><p> I was playing a regional fed in a RW mod and turning a profit of almost 100,000 a month. Once I made it to Cult size, i LOST over $200,000.</p><p> </p><p> Let's assume that you do indeed have to take on a larger advertising budget. Ok, I get that. But how can expenses go up Exponentially if you are using the same TV nertwork(s) and the same talent?</p>

<p>hmmm...if James is right, I can theorhetically "split" the roster over 2 "A" shows, but not as a formal "brand split". So I can do one TV show, and anyone who doesnt make the first show can be on the second. </p><p> </p><p> That would indeed solve my problem if the Main Eventers arent clamoring to be on EVERY "A" show.'</p><p> </p><p> Anyone else have experience with this sort of thing...?</p>

<p>Multiple A shows</p><p> </p><p> Currently I work hard to get as many Main Eventers and Upper Midcard guys on my "A" television show, to avoid morale issues.</p><p> </p><p> I thought about adding a SECOND A show so I can accomodate the guys who cant get on the first show each week....but then I was concerned that I'll be DOUBLING my headache is every top guy wants to be on ALL a-level shows.</p><p> </p><p> Do I have this right, or is most top talent content with being on (at least) one show a week? </p><p> </p><p> (I do not want to do a brand split or create a B show)</p>

<p>Leaving the Alliance</p><p> </p><p> I'm playing a 1987 RW mod, playing as Bill Watt's mid-south.</p><p> We are doing VERY well as far as profitability and locker room are concerned, and we are increasing in recognition every show.</p><p> </p><p> I am considering leaving the NWA alliance...but I am not clear on what the ramifications would be. I have a few working agreements in place, so I'm not sure what I need to be "concerned" about if we break away?</p>

<p>The End of an Era</p><p> </p><p> In July of 1994, I was hired by the WWF to be their General Manager.</p><p> </p><p> By Survivor Series 1997, I had lost total control of the Locker Room, WCW poached some of my largest stars while Vince capped how much I could offer THIER stars, and the ratings began to plummet.</p><p> </p><p> On Dec 1st, 1997, after 3 enjoyable years, I left the employ of WWF to start my own company and work in a quieter, more manageable environment.... <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>many thanks!</p><p> </p><p> 1 more Q: I have loaded a new database and I cannot recall how to edit the Starting Avatars. I want to make them more realistic.</p>

<p>Is the "pay per appearance" fee charged per MATCH or per SHOW?</p><p> </p><p> For instance, If I have a manager getting paid per appearance, does he get paid every time he comes to ringside with a worker, or just 1 time for the show overall?</p>

<p>Choosing/Starting a Company</p><p> </p><p> Often I start my own Fed, or change jobs from 1 fed to another, only to realize that the Style was not REALLY what I was looking for. I guess I'm not clear on how to read the Company Stats to understand if a fed is based on Popularity vs Workrate. </p><p> </p><p> Can anyone advise a thread/resource where I can better understand how this works?</p><p> </p><p> (ex: if I am looking for a fed that is based on workrate - not popularity - but is not 100% opposed to storylines...how do I set/find those stats?)</p>

<p>WWF 1994 save...I'm in October of 1998</p><p> </p><p> World Champion = Road Warrior Hawk</p><p> </p><p> I/C Champion = Shane Douglas</p><p> </p><p> Tag Champions = Bart Gunn & Terry Funk</p><p> </p><p> All 3 belts have been held dominantly thru the Summer months.</p><p> </p><p> Survivor Series is always a 6-man, global tourney...and that "break" lets me set a new run of challengers for the champions headed into Royal Rumble and Mania....</p>

<p>Does A.I. look for morale and bankruptcy?</p><p> </p><p> I'm playing as WWF, at war w/WCW</p><p> Lately, every time I try to hire a "star", WCW outbids .... so right now their roster is HUGE.</p><p> </p><p> I'm wondering if the game DOES keep track of WCW's spend?</p><p> If they hire enough big names, will they indeed risk bankruptcy?</p><p> With a roster that big, will AI workers begin to complain about not being used?</p>

<p>I started a WWF 1994 sim and I'm currently mid 1997</p><p> </p><p> I noticed that I created some stables and tag teams that...due to inability to sign some historical players... are different than the reality that WE know:</p><p> </p><p> Shane McMahon's "army" and Ted DiBiase's "million dollar corporation" have just executed a Corporate Merger. The Corporation consists of those 2 managers plus Crush, Bundy, Sid Vicious, Scott Steiner, The Barbarian and Derick Dukes in an intentionally awful Michael Jackson gimmick.</p><p> </p><p> Shane Douglas has formed "Franchise, Inc." which is an intentional rip off of the 4 Horsemen. He is in the Flair role. Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit are his fall guys. A huge British guy I call Bones Thatcher is in the Bodyguard role and Woman is their femme fatale.</p><p> </p><p> The Nation of Domination consists of Ahmed Johnson, Kama Mustafa, Mustafa Saed and Mo-Hammed (formerly Mo from Men on a Mission). We're pretty militant. </p><p> </p><p> Los Borriquas consist of Savio Vega (leader, after he ousted Eddie Guerrero), Al Perez, El Texano, Heavy Metal and Chicky Star (who is on probation)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The Tag Team of DeGeneration Ex is Raven and Sean Cannon (who you know as Sean Waltman)</p><p> </p><p> The Brothers of Destruction are Kane and Gangrel</p><p> </p><p> The New Age Outlaws are Kip James and Shawn Michaels.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> So in this universe, things are the same AND different....! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

WWF June 1997 World Champion = Road Warrior Hawk (Shawn Michaels was previous champ, but lost belt in a 3-way ladder match vs. Hawk and Scott Steiner) I/C Champion = Shane Douglas (Beat Taz for the title) Tag Champions are Barry Windham and Adam Bomb who recently unseated the long-reigning team of Barbarian & King King Bundy

<p>Drag and Drop</p><p> </p><p> I've been using the features to "drag and drop" created tag teams when booking matches. All of a sudden, this feature is not working and I'm wondering if it's a setting I must have accidentally tripped? If so, where do I find it to re-set it?</p>

<p>Can they really leave?!</p><p> </p><p> I've had 2 wrestlers under contract who were so unhappy they gave their notice.</p><p> </p><p> But if they are under a written contract, can't I REFUSE their notice, the way we did in TEW10? (If it was the other way around, and I wanted to fire a guy under contract, I'd be obligated to pay him out, right?!)</p>

<p>Gunger - you got an 81 out of Gunns vs BlackJacks?</p><p> I am STRUGGLING with the Gunns!</p><p> Did you run a long angle to get to that match??</p>

<p>WWF's 1995 Royal Rumble has just completed.</p><p> </p><p> Bret Hart is <em>still </em>the World Champion</p><p> (Diesel wont the Rumble and will face him at Wrestlemania)</p><p> </p><p> Jeff Jarrett defeated Razor Ramon for the I/C title</p><p> </p><p> Luger and the Barbarian are still the Tag Team champions </p><p> (coming off a recent win of the titles from the Headshrinkers)</p><p> </p><p> Alundra Blayze retained her Women's title, but due to her poor attitude I retired the title the next night and sent all of the female grapplers home...</p>

<p>I have same issue/question as CharlieRock</p><p> I play as WWF in 1994 and each week TEW will auto-suggest where to run the show. I didnt notice it suggested a venue in Puerto Rico and the show's ratings TANKED. I want to be sure we never run in PR again! Is there a way to get that region off the list of Territories suggested?</p>

<p><< ... And for a canadian stable >> </p><p> </p><p> Are they "tough guys"? I've used "Maple Leaf Mafia" in the past if it fits the characters.</p>

<p>It's late 1994 in the WWF.</p><p> </p><p> Bret Hart has turned back the challenge of his brother Owen, and has been facing off with Steve "Dr. Death" Williams and the recently-turned-heel Bob Backlund. Williams, Backlund and Jim Neidhardt have each sucker-attacked Bret at some time in the last 6 weeks, so Bret has decided to invest in some insurance. That insurance policy is called King Kong Bundy.</p><p> </p><p> How did Backlund turn heel?</p><p> Adnan Al-Kaisse has returned to the WWF as a wealthy, slick talking "benefactor". He's here to help people "solve their problems". He brought in Road Warrior Hawk to vanquish the Undertaker, but failed when Hawk signed to tour w/All Japan. But Backlund was subject to the BrainWashing, and learned to hate Bret Hart.</p><p> </p><p> Elsewhere, Jeff Jarrett lost his tag team partner Yokozuna when the Big Man left for WCW, so instead of winning the World Tag Titles as I had planned for him, Jarrett attacked Razor Ramon and is pursuing the I/C title.</p>

<p>Monk, Sid -</p><p> </p><p> with expectations to run feuds/storylines that go 6,8,10 months...how do you work around the issue of penalties for having the same match 4 or 5 times. I have to think, over a period of 4 months, guys are going to meet up once or twice a month, no?</p>
