This might get a little long, so bear with me... Background I'm playing a modern day, RW mod (Fleisch's). Starting one or two week before Wrestlemania 2019 and playing as WWE. My whole intention of this save is playing as if FOX bought "SmackDown" as a whole (kayfabe) and not just with a Television deal. As a result my User Character is the officially assigned "FOX Sports Spokesman". As such I brought back a 'hard' brand split after MitB. Some titles are still shared between brands (24/7 & Women's Tag-Team), but generally speaking both brands act independently from each other. Brand exclusive PPVs are a thing again, with one for each brand between the Interpromotional PPVs (Money-in-the-Bank, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble & Wrestlemania). Wrestlemania hard mostly the same results as the real one, with some smaller changes, that I will detail later. Both shows are 3 hours long and the rosters are accordingly big. Both Brands also have a B-show taping before the main show (Main Event for Raw, Superstars for SmackDown). There is also a third weekly show, which is only airing on the WWE Network exclusively and is titled "Live Event Recap", which is basically my excuse of booking people that missed the televised shows. I'm just going to write about the biggest happening. Rise of Andrade "Cien" Almas At the Money in the Bank PPV Andrade "Cien" Almas pulled an upset by winning the MitB Ladder match over main eventers such as Randy Orton and John Cena. The Midcarder, apparently a favorite of N'Tuku Asad, the defacto owner of SD, recieved that opportunity despite blatantly "Road Dogging" the "Last-Chance-Pre-Show-Battle-Royal" on the same night. In the upcoming weeks and months Almas got more cocky with each victory, constantly reminding WWE Champion Daniel Bryan and challenger Braun Strowman about his MitB briefcase. It was his fellow Luchadore Sin Cara, that finally stood up to him. The Mystic One bravely challenged Almas to a match at Backlash, but lost, due to Zelina Vega interfering on behalf of her client. Having tasted blood Almas and Vega focused on Sin Cara relentlessy, going as far as recruiting NXT's newest upstart Bandido into their shemes, injuring Sin Cara to the point that the Luchadore missed SummerSlam. Not long ago Sin Cara finally returned and opened a challenge to Almas, swearing to put his mask on the line against Almas' MitB briefase. How will Zelina Vega answer the challenge? What are next moves in the bath of Almas? Only time will tell. Broken Shield & The beginning of an Empire Seth Rollins did it! He did it! He defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania! He conquered the beast! He is the Universal Champion! Conquerer of Kings! Conquerer of Beasts! The Man with the Plan! After winning the Universal Championship at Wresltemania the world seemed fine in the eyes of Seth Rollins. Overly happy and at the very top of the food chain. With Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose by his side nobody would stand in his way! Nobody, but himself... Being too self-absorbed in his own hype he did not realize that there is two men, who saw the same signs as they did 5 years ago. Now they were smarter. Three weeks before MitB Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns in a Triple Threat match on Raw to become the Number 1 contender to the Universal championship. Roman Reigns walked away from the ring dissapointingly, feeling betrayed by Ambrose, who tried to steal his victory earlier. Nakamura re-entered the ring with a steel chair, seemingly ready to strike Ambrose again, only for Seth Rollins to leave the commentary booth to save his Shield brother. Ambrose recovering only seeing Rollins with the chair behind him on the Titantron, snapped and attacked Seth Rollins until he was a bloody mess. Ambrose was let go from the company later that same evening. With Rollins injury status yet unknown to WWE, they booked Roman Reigns as Seth Rollins possibly replacement two weeks before the PPV, with the Universal title possibly being vacated. A week later Seth Rollins made his surprising return. A much more humble Rollins apologized to Ambrose and Reigns, for his antics post Wrestlemania. He promises to better himself...and then Money-in-the-Bank happened. In a Main Event for the ages Shinsuke Nakamura and Seth Rollins fought with all their arsenal. Almost 30 minutes into the match Roman Reigns interfered and, in a moment to remember, turned on Seth Rollins, allowing Shinsuke Nakamura to become the Universal Champion. Post-match Roman Reigns continued his assault, being joined by the newest signing to WWE...Jacob Fatu, effectively putting Seth Rollins out of action for atleast a month. A week later, with the brand split in full affect, Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu were revealed as members of the SmackDown roster, as two of the talents FOX spent extra money on to sign them to their half of the company. Under the name "Empire" Roman Reigns & Jacob Fatu started feuding with the Usos over the SmackDown Tag-Team Championship. They lost the title match at Backlash, when Seth Rollins finally returned to get his hands on Roman Reigns again. As inter-brand matches were no longer possible outside of the big five, the two continued to buy tickets to the shows of the other brand, just to interfere in their respective matches and cut promos on each other. This went as far as Seth Rollins costing Roman Reigns a spot in the WWE Championship Triple Threat match at SummerSlam, resulting in a "No Holds Barred"-match being booked for SummerSlam by Raw GM James Mitchell and SD Assistant Manager Paige. At that very same PPV Roman Reigns defeated Seth Rollins after 25 minutes, before symbollically leaving behind a Shield T-Shirt in the ring, only to be given a Empire T-Shirt by Jacob Fatu on the stage. The Shield is broken, strong stands the Empire! Ain't Nobody Realler Than Guerilla The Raw after Wrestleamania is full of surprises. This year MitB topped that. In the Raw Tag-Team Championship match between The Revival and Ryder & Hawkins Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa arrived in the WWE, completely dismanteling both teams. Two weeks later they were the Raw Tag-Team Champions. Declaring Raw their domain they made open challenges for their titles for several weeks, in which they simply demolished their opponents. It took a union of The Revival and Ryder & Hawkins to finally put a stop to their wrath. Ryder & Hawkins went on to defeat The Revival on Raw for a title shot at Payback, which they ended up losing. Afterwards the Guerillas of Destiny were seen hanging out with AJ Styles backstage, with Tama Tonga teasing a reunion of the "OGs", similar to the one Finn Bálor and The Club just had on SD. To underline that reunion, they assisted AJ Styles in a No.1 contender match against Seth Rollins before SummerSlam. AJ, while thankfull for their help, would rather no re-do the way the "OGs" doomed themselves in Japan. GoD are seemingly happy with this and are currently feuding with the tag-team of Cedric Alexander & Apollo Crews. Funny thing...Tama Tonga lost his gear that one time and had to wear Roman Reigns' Empire vest. Weird how he got his hands on that... Revolution Horsewomen vs. Undisputed Horsewomen Becky Lynch has done it! She's at the top of the world and the first woman to win the Main Event of Wrestlemania! Winning both Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships from Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair respectively! In an interview in the week afterwards she and the Women's Tag-Team Champions Bayley & Sasha Banks talked about being double-crossed by Charlotte in the past and how they didn't just start the Women's Revolution, they are the Women's Revolution. Becky was immediately forced to put her money were her mouth is, by having two title matches at Money-in-the-Bank. She successfully retained her Raw Women's Championship in the opening contest, but lost the SmackDown Woemn's Championship to Asuka, thanks to the return of Ronda Rousey, now alongside her new manager Paul Heyman. On the same event Ronda Rousey was a surprising last second entry into the Women's MitB Ladder match, which she won. Bayley also was injured in the very same match. With one Horsewoman alienated, another one injured, Ronda Rousey and Paul Heyman had an easy time playing mindgames with Sasha Banks & Becky Lynch, going as far as costing Sasha Banks & Bayley the Women's Tag-Team titles against Fire & Desire (Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville) a month later. At SummerSlam Becky Lynch made another successull title defense, beating Alexa Bliss an Rosemary in a Triple Threat match...only for Ronda Rousey to cash in her MitB briefcase, after a brutal 3-on-1 beatdown by the debutants Shayna Bastler, Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir. The Undisputed Horsewomen debuted on the main roster. Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks are heavily outnumbered. Can they overcome the past and their own pride to ask for Charlotte's assist? It's all about the Money What can you buy from money? A Championship? A Tag-Team? A wrestling company? How about Conor *censored*ing McGregor? Yeah. That's right, SmackDownFOX made it happen. At the SmackDown exclusive Backlash PPV it was revealed that Conor McGregor would join the SmackDown roster soon, putting many eyes on the brand in this new era. Ofcourse the roster had also something to say on that matter. SD's other big signing was no different. Brock Lesnar showed up alongside Paul Heyman on the very next edition of SmackDown. calling out McGregor, since in kayfabe both men have "Wage matching" in their contracts. As Paul Heyman builds up a huge roster of clients (Undisputed Horsewomen, Authors of Pain, Brock Lesnar) he also manages to have N'Tuku Asad book a match between Lesnar and McGregor for the SummerSlam Main Event under the condition that they sign the contract in person on SmackDown and that Lesnar gets a guarantee to being the heighest paid man on the roster. McGregor's debut on SmackDown was the turning point for the blue brand, overtaking Raw in the ratings. In a Steel Cage match Conor McGregor defeats Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam and now he is preparing for his "Last Ever MMA Fight". Promptly after that announcement Brock Lesnar disappeared from SmackDown again. These two are destined to meet again and I am looking forward to it.

My bad. You guys are right. Only applies to "On Hiatus" people

The normal "Negotiate" button. Usually they will refuse, though Especially if they have no role assigned to them

Using Regal as a manager is just fine. Someone doesn't need to have the active role of Manager to be one. Interference is just that, interference. Most people have some wrestlers managing others. I usually do that with all my Tag-Teams. In historical AE mods, for example, WWF has "Sex Appeal requirement" atleast on Low. Since WWF Women would drag down the ratings with their matches at the time, it's easier to have them manage some of the male wrestlers. TL;DR No penalties for using non-managers as Managers outside of Chemistry effects

<p>There is always the chance that they come back on their own.</p><p> </p><p> EDIT: I was wrong about the second part.</p>

Should I like him to Undertaker's instagram or does someone else want to do that? Keep in mind that this is still time-era locked and tied to personality. It's very unlikely that there is no personality trait, that leads to people not using social media much. But even then...The Undertaker has been in many interviews, in and out of character. Fans share that stuff via social media, resulting in the same thing

Fans sharing some wrestler via social media is definitely one of the key reasons to Joey Janela's success

thx alot

What grades-skin are you using for your game?

Only truely big names wouldn't have to worry about job security with several companies being around. Low-carders could see themselves without a job easily during a war, because the companies are constantly rotating the lower cards, in order to find that one breakthrough midcarder, that secures them the victory in the war. Like Austin was for WWE.

No. Only the databases

Depends on the angle I'm trying to run with the stable. Sometimes I just have them randomly debut in a 8-man Tag-Team match, sometimes I have them explode from out of nowhere. Usually I stop airing the vignette two or three shows before the debut, as to make the Debut more "shocking". Kinda like Sanity's NXT debut

He's talking about saved "Search Templates" in the same way we can save contracts. As far as I understand the #13 entry, it only keeps the most recent Filter you used active

Make them loyal to WCW and/or you in the editor.
