[Does anyone else 'farm' developmental talent?]

I can already play a documentary in my head about "developmental farms", where they visit a center, the talent taking turns on occupying the ring.

 

It's true that - in-game - there's nothing preventing you from doing this if you're enjoying financial success. So what you're doing is probably the best way to enhance talent.

 

In real life however, with a medium wear & tear product, you're basically throwing away money to put on small shows with little to no gain. Not only are you oversaturating your own product and lowering attendance of the shows that matter, the actual skill gains during these shows will be outweighed by the actual training going on behind closed doors. You can do both, I guess, but that would put a lot of stress on their bodies before they actually start to work and produce value for you as a 'big' company.

 

It shows how "development" is probably the aspect the TEW series could improve the most on. In-game you spend truckloads of money to get a "performance center" that increases inherently useless stats like "basics", while putting on shows actually does a lot more for your workers, though it will damage their longevity. In reality, it doesn't work like that. Shows can be seen as the real 'workplace' environment, but training to reach the basic levels of competence (let's say to 50% skill level) will go far quicker in a performance center. You learn far more after an entire week of designated training that caps off with a saturday small show, where the entire experience will be much more meaningful. If you just 'farm' experience without added meaning, it won't go as 'deep' and you should realistically be getting .1% increases instead of what the game gives you.

 

This isn't exactly written in stone and depends on the approach of the training ad hoc, but I doubt I'm wrong here, despite not having any hands-on experience in this industry. Learning processes are quite the same as similar professions.

 

Well you highlight one of the huge problems with the current Wrestling Industry in real world. The old territories system is how the wrestlers used to learn both in ring and traveling with veteran workers.

 

In 2020, wrestlers are on national tv when they are learning and they get in waaaaaaaaay less matches per week/year. That's why matches are garbage gymastics demos for the most part.
