I run a yearly round-robin for my junior heavyweights. It's the only round-robin I run, to make it stand out. My men's roster has two A-Shows, so I run two 10-man blocks, one for each show. Over three months they will run matches. My B-show becomes my "catch-up" show, ensuring I stay on pace for the PPV at the end of the three months. I've been debating on playing around with the block structure or reducing the number of competitors, but it makes it really easy to fill tv time.

Starting a new side save and hoping to something different. In my main, I run the typical 4 weeks of tv and then a PPV event. To try and avoid "traditional" tv, is it better to run weekly events, and at what intent level? I've messed around a bit with touring shows, but didn't care for the lack of popularity gains.

It's based on the show grade compared to your company's popularity. For example, my insignificant company(Mid-West pop of 10) had a 34-rated show and received the same message as your 65-rated show.

I just started a local to global save with two companies. One is men only, the other women only. Both are running one tour event a week, plus a monthly big event. I only signed people that would take less than $50 an appearance. I have went positive on cash with every show, and a couple of the tour shows were so good that they did raise my popularity. Tour shows do effect momentum, just at a slower pace. I've had only one non-tour event so far with my men's company and multiple guys came into the show with good momentum.

Decided to take a break from my main save and finally return to the C-Verse. I started out with a local to global game when the game launched, but it went off the rails when I bought CWA and just had too much going on. At that point some Real World mods had come out and moved on after feeling burnt out on it. So I'm doing another local to global. My company is Battleground Wrestling Federation (BWF) and is in the Mid-West. Starting with a roster of 6 wrestlers plus my user character who is ref and road agent. I have Ernest Youngman, Logan Wolfsbaine, James Diaz, Remmy Honeyman, Jack Avatar, and K.P. Avatar. I'm running a weekly tour event to build up skills and momentum by having three matches a card, all against local talent. Each month will be capped off with reoccurring monthly event title "Championsip Struggle" where the BWF Mid-West Championship will be defended. The first champion is Ernest Youngman, who beat Jack Avatar in the finals of a tournament to crown the champ.

I definitely agree. Especially the politics one. Realistically the booker would be notified if this was something coming up for a worker. A better system would be structured like MMA fights. They give a warning that they will be gone, they start campaigning, if they win they stay gone for longer, and if they lose they come back.

Bump

I'm currently at 117 on the roster. I have a list of people I want to job and cut. I keep putting off the cutting part, and sometimes the jobbing part. Angles see their momentum stay high, which helps with ratings when putting them against my less experienced roster members. It's a vicious cycle, and I keep signing more. Kurt Angle just came back from a stint in politics and so far I'm out-bidding WWE for him.

I've had plans to introduce them since I started my main save, but they have been kept on the back burner every time. I have a large enough roster and stables, but I always worried about hurting my other divisions, and I already feel like I have too many titles. For example, my tag division has world and TV titles, on top of there being a women's tag division I just started. ROH just started losing lots of money when they went up to medium size, and I already know I won't let them go out of business completely. They get a set of trios at some point... maybe a brand split or player-booked dev company

Ruthless Agression 2004 probably scratches my itch the best for time period. A lot of Attitude Era guys are still in decent shape and the indie scene is thriving with lots of good talent, and no big companies to really compete with when it comes to signing them. My only issue is a lot of the workers were transferred from later mods and their bios and skills (especially experience) weren't adjusted to 2004. You'll have rookies debut with 40 xp, while someone who has been wrestling for years will have 15. If you can get past that or just edit them then it's a great time period. I'm currently in 2007. Otherwise anything by Fleisch is amazing As an addition to how insane Zero's progress with his games are. I started my 2004 save when his 1985 save was still in the 80's. He has since made it to 2006 and I just got to 2007. He booked 20 years of two companies in the time it took me to do 3 years with 1 company lol

January 2006- Global Championship Pro-Wrestling GCPW World Heavyweight Title- CM Punk 1x. Ended Joe's undefeated streak and 1 year reign with the title. GCPW Women's World Title- Gail Kim 2x GCPW World Junior Heavyweight Title- CIMA 1x GCPW World Tag Team Titles- The Hardy Boyz 1x GCPW North American Title- Steven Regal 1x CW United States Title- Matt Sydal 1x CW Women's United States Title- Becky Lynch 1x CW United States Tag Team Titles- The Stampede Bulldogs 1x

Someone asked a question and that is the way I prefer to do it to keep my roster organized with their brands while booking a show. Thanks though.

Ruthless Aggression 2004 mod. Currently in October 2005. Playing my created company: Global Championship Pro-Wrestling (GCPW) based in the Mid-West. There are 2 brands, and they are: GCPW and a developmental brand known as Championship Wrestling: United States (CW:US) GCPW World Heavyweight Title- Samoa Joe.

CW United States Women's Title- Becky Lynch. She beat Aja Kong at CW:US Chapter 1: Arrival in March 2005.

That's hard coded into the game I believe. It wouldn't be possible to mod it out.

While booking your show, go to your roster and click on the worker you want to book. If you click on his name in the roster profile, it will open a window that shows his alter egos, his manager, his division, and his brand. If you change the brand to the unbranded or current brand you can then book him. After the show just go back to the same screen and change him to the original brand.

I'm planning on introducing a developmental brand in one of my saves. If I give the brand an A-Show does it get any lenience from being focused developmental, or do I need to just give them a B-Show to avoid getting penalized for lower show ratings?

<p>Demon King and Guerrero Muerto have made a great tag team for me since 2016. I called them Reyes de Los Muertos. In my first C-Verse 2020 game, Muerto got a run with my world title.</p><p> </p><p> Amazing Fire Fly and Boriken Love Machine Jr. were another great luchador duo for me since 2016. They were my first excellent chemistry tag team find in my local to global game. Boriken accidently got my version of the Undertaker's streak, never losing at my season finale. I called them Purity of Purpose.</p><p> </p><p> Remmy Honeyman is always brought in to be a high skilled trainer to work with younger prospects and a jobber to the stars. His performances are always so good that he ends up being popular enough to sit in the upper midcard.</p><p> </p><p> The Uprising, Selina Svelte and Talia Quinzel, are an amazing women's tag team and singles wrestlers. My C-Verse games are always with an integrated roster (I create my own company) and Talia had a successful world title reign that was actually ended by Guerrero Muerto.</p>

<p>If you do NXT in a brand split then you could just auto-book all of the WWE shows and just manually book the NXT shows. You would also be able to move WWE stars over for storyline purposes as you need.</p><p> </p><p> You could do a North American title open challenge and just have a bunch of lower tier main roster wrestlers come in for it. That would get the champ over, and could lead into feuds with other NXT wrestlers if they interfere due to a feud with the champ. Getting put over the main roster should push the NXT roster up in perception.</p>

Definitely. I already have some of them, but hadn't gotten around to installing them all yet

<p>Looking to have a collective name for AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, and Samoa Joe. </p><p> </p><p> They will basically be my version of the Four Pillars of Heaven from AJPW.</p>

I never have a home arena, but it still just chooses my home region to book shows in everytime. I don't know why the change, but I assume its to make it easier on smaller companies with TV who still want to be mostly in their home region. This way they don't have to go through and change back to their "default" area for every show.

If you have them set to receive developmental talent then you will have to hire all the roster yourself. If it is just a child company with no developmental then the AI will do the hiring

Yeah, I get my formula down. Like all four weeks of TV for a tag feud will just be iterations of singles matches between them with different angles included. I don't special name any angles, and my head canon for it, is that I don't script the angles so the workers push their angles while I set an overall feud and direction. I think I really just get too bogged on my notebook or excel sheet instead of actually playing the game.

I have often wondered your booking process, as you make such steady progress. I often get bogged down with planning so far ahead that I can go days with out actually booking a show. I've been trying to simplify down to just having PPVs planned well ahead.

I believe there is an average popularity threshold they have to hit before they start selling merch. So while they are well known in your company, its still too far below the threshold
