You can do anything you want to in the undercard and it means almost nothing. </p><p> </p><p> I think the term "Storytelling" for a match aim is way off. I read some guy on here sum it up perfectly when he said it was like Billy Gunn vs Ken Shamrock at KOTR 99, but I think that's a little too hard to grasp in a game without context. </p><p> </p><p> Think of the match aim as like a mini calm the crowd. It pumps the brakes on the crowd, instead of slamming on the brakes. </p><p> </p><p> A lot of the times I use the match aim as my match after the opener. But I have also used it as Storytelling/Co-Main/Main and it hasn't burnt the crowd out. I think you're really overthinking it. It's not that damaging to match ratings, or performance, and you could get by without putting any effort into it at all.</p>

What you're remembering reading is that tag team experience eventually cancels out negative chemistry at, I think C-, which could take like 1 or 2 years to even get if I do the math.

The penalty is pretty small. </p><p> </p><p> By the way, if you're playing the mod that Lucas made, you should start your save over because Vince McMahon is set to be an exclusive authority figure and you can't book him in any matches, so I'm assuming that your Mania plans are not going to happen. Or you could just do what I did and duplicate Vince, change his stat to allow him to wrestle, import him into your game, sign him, change his contract to 10 years, and use the duplicate Vince in angles and matches from now on. Don't know why someone made the decision to not have him work matches, but there you go.</p>

Or you could, you know, just fire them.

I think only at a certain point this is true in real life. The WWF at its height in 2000 ran some smaller venues, and the Georgia Dome, but mostly it was the same sized arenas for all their Raws and PPVs. But in TEW the separation between 20,000 and 40,000 events isn't too far off.

That's not an option. That would mean that all those angles are set to default if it immediately shows all of them. You could change it by going to book an angle, then pressing edit defaults.

If you're on a bigger network, do your workers gain more popularity?

I would suggest downloading them all and scoping them out, then playing one or two really short games with them, finding little things you don't like about them, and fine tuning the mods yourself. But create a backup of the mod first. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Every mod has its own quirks that I find weird. For example, in the great 2001 New Blood mod, Vince is contracted to only work as an authority figure, so you can't put him in matches. No Vince vs Shane at Mania I guess. I didn't want to abandon that save so I ended up making a duplicate of Vince and importing him into my game...</p><p> </p><p> I also think that a lot of mods are very stingy with Star Quality, so I raise everyone's stats a little bit. </p><p> </p><p> I also hate how many relationships there are in every mod. A lot of them just make no sense, and weren't even worth the time putting them in the game. There's one current day mod where CM Punk hates Kurt Angle, which is news to me. So I end up going into the mod, filtering the relationship types one by one, and going through and deleting most of them. If they don't affect the game in any way, or not extremely well known in the industry, they're gone.</p>
