Save it for the pay per view! Add a third wheel or toss em in a mixed tag to avoid repetitive booking.

<p>Just about to get done with my second year running NOTBPW and thought I might throw in my 2 cents, maybe help someone. </p><p> </p><p> I started as owner, KP Avatar, with the goal of taking over every other promotion in the world and turning them into child companies while NOTBPW goes global. </p><p> </p><p> At this point (Nov 2017) we have a prestige of 100 with a momentum of 92. Our size (pop) is at 86-87 across Canada, 29-32 in the USA, and under 20 but inching up across the globe. </p><p> </p><p> We are making about 500k a month. Attendance for weekly shows is around 23,000, and at 60,000 for events. </p><p> </p><p> I feel like, at this point, NOTBPW is a well oiled machine with the best workers in the world. We are in great position to accomplish our goals. </p><p> </p><p> Here are some of my tips:</p><p> </p><p> 1) Like said before, Steve Decolt should be the figurehead first thing. He should win the title and main event every A show. I got his pop to 100 in all areas of Canada within a few months. Have him win the tag tourney in the 3rd month and he will get to 100. Never have him lose, it just slows down the process. </p><p> </p><p> The earlier you put him as the figurehead the faster you get the bonuses. I also turned him face early, maybe 6 months in. Started a tag team with Westybrook so they could start to build some chemistry. </p><p> </p><p> 2) Go sign Gargantuan from CGC. He is not a great worker but has amazing star quality and the menacing look. He can be a decent worker too but it takes a little time. He is another guy that can get to 100 in pop easily. Have him squash newbies for a year and do a menace angle every show. Once he gets to 100 pop, have him lose to better workers to get them over, then start building him up again. </p><p> </p><p> I put him in a stable with other monsters and created some monster stable angles. </p><p> </p><p> 3) Tag Teams. They are great. For some reason my game loves them. Every guy on my roster gets a partner. Its nice for guys that don't have a purpose or guys that are on the back burner. I also like to use the division to give my young workers experience, and to get better scouting of them. </p><p> </p><p> I use tags a lot because I think that the Ed Hanson Memorial Tag Team Cup is a very important tool to making stars. If you can build up the division through out the year, the show can be amazing. The winners will get a huge pop boost. </p><p> </p><p> 4) Sign a lot of workers. Its important to have enough guys that you can put on good shows without booking the same old matches. I like to sign workers early to get that popularity up fast. I like guys that have good star quality because they get over fast. Its also important to get vets so your rookies can beat someone. </p><p> </p><p> 5) Shortlist. Shortlist all of the workers that you would ever like to sign. From all promotions. That way when they become available you don't miss out on them. I can't sign guys from Japan or Mexico, but someday I will. Sometimes you just want to advance from one show to the next. Shortlisting fighters makes sure that you don't waste a chance to add stars to your roster. </p><p> </p><p> 6) Story Telling. Every main event is a "Story Telling" purpose, and only the main event. It gives my best workers the best type of match for these fans. I do a 35 min main event, 25 for the match before. </p><p> </p><p> 7) Use your workers. If you can fit them all into a show, do it. They all need exposure. Use the prematch time for the undercard and women. Also get a B show to work the young guys and to highlight the lesser titles. </p><p> </p><p> 8) No Story Lines. They are a waste of time in NOTBPW. </p><p> </p><p> 9) Spread Sheet. I use a spread sheet with all of my workers stats for easy reference. I always have it opened right next to the game screen. I keep the guys in order by how hard I want to push a guy. It makes booking shows simple and fast. </p><p> </p><p> 10) Three Ways. They work great to put on high scoring matches and to keep shows fresh. Ill match up three different levels of guys all against each other and keep it open so they all come out looking good. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I'm at work. Have to go home and sleep. I just joined this site but have been playing this game and the ones before it forever. I will get back to what I did and how I play this game tomorrow. I want to get more into my roster and what my plans are for the future. If anyone has any questions about booking or anything else shoot them my way. Ill help if I can.</p>
