No..... and yes. There's an option in Settings to make it cyclical, but it's off by default.

<p>Okay, since I didn't get an answer I decided to do some testing myself. I used SWF, on an event, booked only one match: Angry Gilmore vs Starr, with every User Preference unchecked. I did all of these twice and got the same results. </p><p> </p><p> Starr is 51 popularity. Gilmore is 77.</p><p> </p><p> Starr beats Gilmore with Decisive Finish: Starr gains 7 points of popularity. Gilmore loses 7.</p><p> </p><p> Starr beats Gilmore with Decisive Finish. Gilmore has Keep Strong: Starr gains 7. Gilmore loses 1. </p><p> </p><p> Starr beats Gilmore with Tainted Finish. Gilmore has Keep Strong: Starr gains 7. Gilmore loses 1.</p><p> </p><p> Starr beats Gilmore with DF. Gilmore has Keep Strong. Starr has Protect: Starr gains 3 points. Gilmore loses 1. </p><p> </p><p> So, if you want someone to gain popularity, but not<em> too much</em> popularity, put Protect on them. Also, if you're worried that the negative effects of stacking these notes, Keep Strong+Protect actually had a better match rating than just having Keep Strong.</p>

<p>I have a question. There are those times where you book a match between one guy and another that is significantly more popular. You use "Keep Strong" to eliminate most of the losses in popularity, but what about the other way?</p><p> </p><p> What is the best way to have to lessen the gains from this, because a lot of the times the gains in popularity are way more than intended. </p><p> </p><p> If you put "Protect" on the winner with less popularity, does this decrease the gains in a more predictable way?</p>

<p>You can survive as MAW until you're making real profits. Like I said, change your product a little to get more sponsorship money. You just need to put Mainstream to Medium. It changed your promotion to Equally Rated, but it's not a big deal. </p><p> </p><p> And just don't run every show. Run 8-10 shows a year and you're in business. I just started a new game, changed nothing, simmed to the night of the show, and switched the Schedule to skip the show. I made $8,000 doing this. I'm not going to waste my time actually booking the show legitimately, but I'm sure I would only lose a couple thousand. </p><p> </p><p> Anyway, I was wondering what people did for the tournament titles. </p><p> </p><p> I used to run a TNA-style Gauntlet where I did a 10 man battle royal with falls and thrown over top and just pretended the last two could only win by falls. But now I do a real tournament. My inspiration was ROH's Survival of the Fittest, but I have 8 qualifying matches, two 4 way eliminations, and 1 final match. I made it a two night show, and get a ton of money. </p><p> </p><p> For the Sam Keith Classic I do two 2 v 2 v 2 matches, then a final.</p>

Change the Mainstream in your product so you get more sponsorship money, tank your production values (you don't need them yet), and take a few months off every now and then to get your money back.

Totally agree that you shouldn't raise your production levels just yet. It's really frustrating getting the penalties, but they even out naturally when your workers get more popular and get some momentum. I should also note that you're going to lose the regional battles anyway because your company is much smaller than PSW and NYCW. However, you'll only get popularity penalties from PSW because you're in an alliance with NYCW.

Why don't you make a Photoshop action, and Automate > Batch to do this all at once?

Same here.

Yeah, that's hilarious. Do you always make references to wrestling simulators, that only you know about, in normal conversation? You must be a real hit with the ladies, bro. Got any other tips?
