What do the A and B designations in a brand split actually drive? I would have expected a B brand to function like a B TV show, but it seemed to effect popularity quite a bit when I tried it. Is it just a combination of cosmetics and a way to tell the AI how to sort talent?

Puroresu is not very useful in mainstream product. Aerial is important for Lucha Libre or Daredevil styles but not useful in Hyper Realistic settings. Hardcore might only be useful in Hardcore matches. If you have settings that create a particularly extreme bias you can get a note in the Product screen that says something like "...will make the Puroresue skill less effecting". As far as I know Chain and Mat wrestling are almost always useful (Although there are lots of product types I haven't tried) so I would give those the edge.</p>

What factors into how often a dojo produces a new graduate? Is it based on how rate of worker regeneration and dojo prestige? Does how recently a new trainer was hired affect it at all?

Also, a good gimmick change resets any negative momentum to neutral so good Creativity skill can do wonders for this.

Before I actually try one, I'd like to be sure of the following about Talent Trades. Does the number of appearances apply to workers I'm giving up as well as the worker I'm receiving and in what way? For example, if I am ROH and I make a talent trade with PCW in which I give up wrestler X for 6 appearances of wrestler Y, it seems obvious that wrestler Y goes back to PCW after he makes 6 appearances in ROH. But when do I get wrestler X back? It seems like these are the possibilities: Wrestler X comes back to ROH after he makes 6 appearances in PCW Wrestler X comes back to ROH after wrestler Y makes 6 appearances in ROH Wrestler X's contract is straight up owned by PCW now

The storyline heat only affects the rating of a segment if there is significant deviation between the storyline heat and the segment rating (Not sure where it falls in terms of modifier order). So your 69 storyline heat brings down the rating of an angle that would have been in the 70s because 69 is lower than low-mid 70s, but the segment should increase the overall storyline heat. I'm not sure about the overall strategy here, but I suspect the idea is to lead off the storyline with the types of segments your workers do well (angels vs matches) and use the high heat that generates to bring up the other type of segment. This seems particularly effective if you have great entertainers who can generate a lot of heat from angles prior to their blowoff match.

That thought occurred to me, but I've been having 1 event per month in Eastern Australia every month since July, and I didn't get the spike until November. I haven't done anything with drug testing the whole game and I can't think of any settings I've changed lately. The only unexpected thing was DIW declared a hostile relationship, which isn't really supposed to affect anything. The estimated expenditures are: Marketing - 5,000 Admin - 2,500 Legal - 500 Production -1,600 One thing of note. The vast majority of it was assessed at the very end of the month (As in Week 4 Sun -> Week 1 Mon).

The overall storyline "success" is purely informational, but success/defeat in angles does affect the workers momentum. I'm not sure to what degree, but having the loser of a big match beat up the winner afterward definitely helps stave off a momentum drop if you're looking to set up a rematch.</p>

Does positive meddling to try and fix a bad relationship between two workers ever actually work? I've tried three times and it backfired all three.

If you mean the Next Big Thing tab of the Creative Meeting, being listed there is a reflection of how a worker might fit into your company, but doesn't actually do anything mechanically. In other words, your workers drive that list not the other way around.

What factors go into whether your existing PPV broadcaster will give you a better timeslot. Is it strictly your buy rates with them or do popularity and size play a part independent of that?

I built enough popularity with ZEN (Up to C importance in New Zealand and finally cracking into E- in Eastern Australia) that RAW came in and signed away three of my biggest stars: Damian Dastardly, Suburban Legend, and HalloWarped. Fortunately, I had a few people ready to replace them on the top line, but I seem to have lost a hair on match quality. After a month I've got most of the momentum loss back.

What does Mask Prestige actually do?

Can positive meddling backfire? I've tried it about ten times and gotten a Strong Friendship once and absolutely nothing the rest of the time. If there aren't major issues to address am I taking an unnecessary risk of having them both end up hating me?

Do my actions affect wrestling industry and economy at all? I would think that generating popularity would increase wrestling industry at least.

Where is the setting that lets you change the relative number of male and female workers that get generated over time?

Having her beat a bunch of D or even C popularity people is not going to help her get to a B+ popularity. If she's your highest popularity wrestler, you'll have to build someone else up to be close to her, probably at least B- if not actually a B.</p>

What are "Exclusive PPA" contracts actually exclusive to? As ZEN I signed some people working for APW to exclusive PPA deals and they left APW a few days after. However just recently 5SSW signed someone I had on exclusive PPA to a regular PPA and now she works for both companies
