As a personal preference, I like to go for fewer shows, often just 8 or so in the first year and let the sponsor money fill up my account when it runs low. It's a far, far slower approach but I also like to get a few years into the game to let the game world evolve a bit and see some of the regens and new workers that I don't often get to play with when I'm running a lot of shows. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> I usually do bi-monthly shows until I profit in a 'show month', at which point I move to monthlies. How high is it possible to go with the 'Apu Method', allowing for a reduction in shows to recover debt? IIRC, the region I'm running shows in has around 85 importance with a B- and rising industry</p><p> (that's from memory, I'm using grades to do the full thing)?</p><p> </p><p> Thanks for your advice.</p>

I'm in month 6 and also haemorrhaging money, but my aim is to use the year's grace period for new companies to build up overness. I run all of the shows in the same location.

The standard thing for male wrestlers is a pay dispute or similar argument. Promoters in TEW are basically Ian Rotten but sleazier.

<p>Yes and yes. Good luck!</p><p> </p><p> Does anybody have any idea how to get to Regional quickly? I've been running two shows a week in the Great Lakes since early Jan with a C and rising industry (now up to C+), and I'm not even halfway there. I have heard stories of people grinding to near Cult in 6 months, so may try adding a 3rd show.</p>

AFAIK, importance is mostly determined by popularity at lower levels, but for higher companies it also takes into account the actual region’s importance in the wrestling world. For example, in the default C-Verse Tri State is 100 and Mid South is about 80-85, so a National company with the same popularity in both regions would, I think, have higher importance in the Tri State region.

But since I can't check yet, I thought I would ask. Started a save with Burning Hammer of the Wrestling Gods and switched it back to a touring schedule. First tour is in February. Tour shows are not broadcast, but I wonder if there is the option to pick a broadcaster? If you set up a weekly event for a non-touring promotion (roughly simulating a house show), the game treats it as a PPV-like event and you get the choice of broadcasters. But I have a feeling a touring promotion makes those events a bit different....?<p> </p><p> I was toying with opening up a broadcaster for Burning Hammer, giving them coverage in some regions outside of Japan. If its possible to broadcast tour events on that, it would help growth in regions like the US but have a feeling its not an option. Anyone?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> If you go to negotiate with broadcasters, there is a 'Tour Highlights' option.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any tips on developing an audience for a diary? In my first failed attempt, there was one commenter after a week. Should I post shows anyway and wait for people?</p><p> </p><p> I didn't realise that this thread existed, which might have helped.</p>

<p>This is from a while back: Supreme Challenge 36 and the most disappointing TEW experience I've ever had.</p><p> </p><p> Semi-main between Remo, Wolf Hawkins and Joey Morgan gets an out of the blue 96, the highest rating I've had up to that point.

When the match comes...</p><p> </p><p> ...they pull a 78.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> After the show, I find out that the participants in the biggest match I've ever booked have awful chemistry, and that Jack Bruce is on painkillers from a broken arm a few months prior as well as being a decade into time decline. He gets dropped as figurehead, and I think that's the last big match he'll ever have.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Cut to January '17.

They're pulling 99s everywhere, and I'm all set to carry the SWF into the future with Morgan at the helm.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Then he tears his meniscus and is out for 6-7 months after a successful surgery without even defending the belt.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I almost want to laugh.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> (Following this, Wolf got my first ever 100 rated match and Joey is set to beat Tommy Cornell in the final of a 64-man Rip Chord Invitational, so the joke's on all of you.)</p>

I can't post a screenshot, but CV77 is (almost) perfect. In a watcher game, Sam Strong vs Rip Chord was named 1981's Match of the Year... in TWL.

Thanks! I'm running it in CV77, trying to keep a long-term save for once.

Is it possible (or feasible) to hit Cult+ in Australia with such low regional importance?

Does anyone possess any graphics (belts, events etc) for the Southern Hemisphere Wrestling promotion? This isn't a request, I'm just wondering. Thanks in advance.
