The other advantage to running a B-Show in an area you don't have existing pop in is to get around workers not being able to be hired in your home country. Run a show there, Hire Local, use them on the card, and now they're available to work there. Technically you can do this with any show, but try it with A-Shows and broadcasted events, and your show rating will probably be lower than usual. With a B-Show, it won't matter.

Started a new TCW game and I'm looking to start a women's division as well as bring back the All Action/ Cruiserweight division. Who should I hire? Looking for about 6 wrestlers for each to start out.

Playing QAW. Just hit September 2018. We've been at Cult status since approximately May '17, and we're doing very well. 70+ pop in the Mid West, Mid South, and all across Mexico. We've got two TV shows on Canal Dos, though we'll probably switch over to La Red De Lucha (or whatever it's called) when our deal is up in a month or so, as they have slightly better coverage in the South West and Mid South. Bought WINNOW and opened a dojo; went with General Training. I wanted to go High Flying or Lucha Libre, but the pickings for head trainer were slim.
We've only lost a few people to the predations of USPW (a working agreement keeps NOTBPW at bay). I had hired Suzanne Brazzle and they scooped her up before 2016 was out along with Foxy LaRue. They had released Raven Nightfall and Alicia Strong and both had good runs, but then USPW decided they wanted both of them back. Jerks! The latter had a great tag team with Danielle Sweetheart, too.
I've had a lot of good luck developing the starting talent. The standouts include Alfonso Garcia (will not at all be surprised if he got Announcer Of The Year when 2018 is up) and Jillian Jarvis, who's Charisma has skyrocketed into the 80s and has gotten her a spot on my "Talk The Talk" list.
The only downside is that at the moment, I don't have a lot of good, simple options to head down the road to National.

"Gory Hardcore" sounds worse than "Deathmatch." I think this will needlessly confuse players. It also feels overly redundant with the Hardcore and Deathmatch styles that already exist.
Also I feel personally attacked in that there is no "Stoner Shoot-Style Wrestling."
See, I hear "Gory Hardcore" and think it's Hardcore pioneered by Gory Guerrero.

Here's a question- if a child company or developmental territory meet a broadcaster's requirements, can a parent company negotiate a TV deal on their behalf?

Okay, first off, I want to say let's not have this devolve into one of those arguments, people are totally entitled to enjoy exactly the type of wrestling they enjoy. And I don't want to go offtopic too much, either, but I'll say a few things since it does have to do with my suggestion about products. But I'm not sure I totally agree with this statement. Granted, my WWE watching is limited at best these days. But I kinda keep up here and there. I just feel like WWE itself has put heavier emphasis on the actual in ring product, and the traditional sports-entertainment, while still there, has taken a backseat. At least when it comes to larger than life characters. Compare The Rock and Stone Cold to Seth Rollins and AJ Styles. And not taking anything away from Seth and AJ - well, at least AJ - but they're not quite The Rock and Stone Cold. The character that most wrestlers in WWE seem to have these days is "he is a good wrestler".
The guy who is arguably the most over in the company is the children's show host with a demonic alter ego.

Anachronistic Comedy- Not just aping the style of years gone by, the whole premise here is that everything is presented as if it were taking place in another era.

*looks at sample products*
Wait... Can we actually do Kaiju Big Battel now?!?

It is insanely difficult to get on TV in the U.S. and Canada in the C-Verse unless you're already a National company.
-
The thing with women's matches is that, in the C-Verse at least, the women, on average have slightly less pop and skills than men, so the grades are going to be lower until you get those up. And failing that, there are ways around it- I've added a women's division to SWF a few times, and a properly booked Eye Candy match some times would get better grades than the main event!
-
At the very least, I imagine we'll be getting a ton of new characters to fill out the new regions and countries in the game, like Wales and India.

Can a worker over time become loyal to your company? What can I do to make him more happy?
For the first part, only if you're a Japanese company, and only if they're a young lion, if I remember correctly (it's usually Japanese workers, but on a rare occasion I've seen a Gaijin become loyal). Or, at least, I've never seen a worker become loyal to a non-Japanese company.
Now, a worker CAN become loyal to your user character; this has never happened to me, so I can't tell you how that happens.
As to make them more happy? Bonuses, compliments during post-show speeches, hiring their friends and relatives. Also, the more friends and relatives they have, the less likely they'll be to jump ship. It can still happen, of course, but the right personality type will turn down a better financial offer to stay go where their friends and family are.

is there a war games match in the game? if there is what is it under?
In the Default data, it's 4v4 Cage Wars and 5v5 Cage Wars. There are also some variations, like Total Mayhem or one of the House of Games matches.
-
I've been giving MAW a shot. Added a weekly show and started turning a profit by about May. In July, about to head into the Sam Keith Classic.
-
Yeah. If he was that great, he wouldn't have been dropped down the card as far and as fast as he was.
-
There's also the fact that the cable companies in India already bundle in the PPVs, if I recall correctly, so putting the strap on Jinder to boost buyrates and network subscriptions wasn't going to work.
-
What are the performance ratings based on at the end of the match? Is it perceived performance by the crowd? Or is it purely in ring ability? Popularity? Combination?
Lots of things. Click on the Dirt Sheets option, and you'll be able to see a breakdown at the end of every match.
-
Honestly, right now? Becky.
-
How can i get my Women's division over more? Every single Women's match i put on is an F. No one has higher popularity than 20, most have 5-10. Any tips? It's hard for storylines to even progress when one has been going 4 weeks and has a rating of 9 haha.
If Risque is set to at least Medium, Eye Candy matches will pull in good ratings.
-
Heck, one time I was playing a game, and the first women wrestler that NOTBPW hired from AAA was... Ellie May Walton?!? Go home, AI, you're drunk.

Of course, that's not going to be an issue if you're playing as booker and Jeremy Stone is the owner. He's a tightwad with money!

<p>Here's what you do- start a working agreement with TCW, then do a talent trade and get Rocky Golden. Set his push to main event, and then you can send him on vacation for the duration of the loan agreement (just remember to exempt him from autopush if you use that). Rocky and Khoklov SHOULD keep you alive in the National Battles for the first few months.</p><p> </p><p>
Eventually, to really make money, you're going to need to expand in the US, so at some point put a show on that Free-to-Air British channel; the coverage in America isn't great, but it's also a start. After a year, you should be popular enough to get other network deals.</p><p> </p><p>
I'd also recommend tweaking the product settings so you can decrease the Match Intensity. 80% is a meat grinder considering the age of some of the guys on the roster.</p>
