What kind of match focus are you running? I've found out that if you plan on having quite a few main event level matches on the same card, Three Ring Circus is the way to go.

So you want someone of Flair's caliber to take the title from him? Unless that guy is named "Hulk Hogan" and he somehow doesn't work for WWF anymore, Flair is going to be the sole and only title holder for a decade. There simply are not any names, popularity wise, who can come close to Ric Flair, the WWF already signed up all those guys. So it's Flair for the duration of your game, or a smaller name gets the title. Me personally, I'd rather a smaller name get it.

This kind of thing happens alot in sports. I am a Raiders fan and last year we had AB and Tyrell Williams. AB did what AB is known for doing and he was gone. Williams was gone from the start of the season, healed up, and reinjured himself. If you can't rely on your top guys, you have to turn to your secondary. So the question becomes "who is your backup, and are they good enough to 'start' for you?" In real life, cut unproductive players. As in real life, cut unproductive wrestlers.

I also hire Mimic and JOJI alot, in my current game I have Mimic but not JOJI.

For no reason other then I like them, I always hire and push both Quentin Queen and The Silencer in almost every one of my games, if it's in a RTG game or messing around with one of the bigger promotions. I once put the strap on The Silencer in his first match with SWF in 2016 and somehow someway that went over, I haven't done anything significant with QQ other then make him my champ in my farm league/tiny promotion. Who do you guys pick up for no other reason then "because"

<p>If I had to take a stab I would guess it would be the same concept as in any martial art;</p><p> </p><p> Throwing a punch like Mike Tyson is good form.</p><p> Throwing a punch like my seven year old daughter is bad form.</p>

I have a masked wrestler named White Hydra and he wears a green mask.

I am running the No-Style Style Product and in the product notes it says; "Having a wrestler be forced to unmask will add some heat to a segment" "Having someone shaved bald as a forfeit can add a little heat to a segment"

Depends on the product, you might want to push your most popular guy or your most talented guy. What is your product's in-ring action to popularity ratio?

More people die in my 2020 games then in my 2016 games as well. I'm not against people dying, I'm against workers with no drug, alcohol, or smoking history die before they reach 65. If people have a drug, smoking, or alcohol history and they pass away at 49, okay, but people of good health dying at 49 doesn't make sense because people live way longer then 49 in today's world before passing away due to old age. I can't back you up on the relationships thing, my relationships pretty much stay the same people rarely form or break relationships in my games.

<p>I think there should be an option for it, but at the same time turning it off kind of gets rid of the gameplay in my opinion.</p><p> </p><p> When I play the 2005 Cornell mod, I always get Lady Melissa because her Sex Appeal is through the roof, she isn't terrible entertainment wise, and most of all, she isn't hooked on drugs in 2005. A great worker in 2005, a terrible worker otherwise.</p><p> </p><p> But this wouldn't be a problem if non wrestling workers weren't tested. I could just keep druggie Lady Melissa if I wanted to. Turn the option on for realism and I would get rid of her, but we should have the option.</p>

Sure there is Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, but then there's also Hogan's son, Flair's son, Snuka's son, etc. Even Goldust was a let down compared to how massively popular Dusty Rhodes was.</p><p> </p><p> Sometimes the children exceed the parents too ala Bray Wyatt. If I were to do this I would go the Wyatt route and give them better stats then their parents.</p>

Hey that's a good idea, but the only problem is if I book three shows between saves and then accidentally mess up. Beggars can't be choosers I suppose, thanks for the suggestion I'm going with this.

Yea, it's my own fault for not paying enough attention, but you know that saying, "the hand is faster then the eye" I go to book a match and then start the show accidentally. This wouldn't be a problem is the "Start Show" button wasn't literally an entire section stretching across the entire screen.

I understand what you're saying, but imagine if I were playing 2003 CZW and I decided to run a bunch of promos and had only one or two matches, the CZW audience definitely would not be okay with that.

In real life, time decline is harder to gauge for some workers then others. For example, it was more clear to see when Rey Mysterio Jr was losing it then, say, The Undertaker, because Undertaker has a really basic style while Mysterio's style is obviously easier to tell when a wrestler can't do certain high flying moves. The reason I agree with you is because this isn't a visual game, while we have numbers telling us how well a worker is doing we can't see for our own eyes how a worker is doing in ring. You can (and should) look at a worker's skill progression every month but that's not the same.

You can do it, kinda, what I do is I hire who I want and I set my schedule how I want and I stay the owner and do contract talks etc, but when it comes to shows I let the auto booker do it's own thing. It's the closest you can get (that I can think of) to simulating being an owner but not booker.

Sure I could pay more attention admittedly , but it's really frustrating when I book my main event and forget to switch it to the top, then go to book another match and accidentally hit the run show button. Now my main event is my opener. I understand I can set it to put matches booked as Main Event and work down but that's not the point, the way I play is I book my undercard first and work my way up because it's easier for me personally to play this way.

I used to play an ECW promos mixed with NJPW match quality type of product in 2016 but there is nothing like that in 2020 so I find myself playing No-Style just because it's the closest thing to what I used to play. I also used to play with 70% Match Intensity and 60% Match Danger and was running weekly shows and I wasn't getting all that many injuries either. I feel that product wise, I'm playing a watered version of the promotion I really want to run. Whatever though, No-Style works for me just as well, my audience doesn't care what I throw at them and it's 75/25 matches to angles so this works A-OK for me.

There is a popularity difference, if you start unemployed and then create your own company on rock hard, you will start with 10 popularity in your home region and some popularity in other regions. You can set your popularity to whatever you want if you add it in via the editor, I start at 0 popularity everywhere. You also start out with $250,000 if you go make a company at the rock hard setting. You can make it whatever you want in the editor.

I don't really care about money, and will go to the editor to give myself more when I need it. I still only hire workers to the bare minimum and won't give them more then I would if I weren't cheating and if another company tries to hire one of my stars away then it was meant to be and I won't try to outbid the competition, and I will only match the competition's production so I won't get a penalty, ticket prices remain default etc but if I am getting close to zero then I will give myself more money.

Where do you go to see if you've been fined or not?

While I don't play RAW I do have some advice for those who do; hire Monday Next. I talked him into working (and moving) to USA and he's my number three heel. Good ring skills and better entertainment skills. Not bad for a guy I originally brought over to job and help raise my face guy's mic skills via promos.
