[QUOTE=Blacknwhite;220119]I cant seem to get it right...any suggestions? especially for a new main event title say for a brand split[/QUOTE] One thing I have noticed is that Prestige tends to get lower if you change champs frequently, or with out ever giving them a couple of successful defenses.

good matches are what gain title prestige so if one of your title matches was A+ it would proberbly raise the prestige,also DQ and countpot finishes lose prestige.

the best way to raise a title's prestige is to give it to a worker that is highly over and has good momentum and than allow them to gain a fairly good number of quality defenses. I started a brand split in my game and gave my new Main Event title to CM Punk, 12 defenses later over quality opponents and not only is the title prestige over 95%, Punk is now the most over wrestler in America.

Now just get Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson there. I swear, they are the saviors of wrestling.

Danielson is on his way, he's currently fighting for the Mid American title and barring injury should win my 60 man battle royale in February. I haven't been able to steal Joe from TNA yet though :(.

WCW did that every year, back in the day. Bear in mind that good matches are relative. I get maybe two or three B- or better matches a year with MAW, but my Main Event title is at 100% Prestige, because Mean Jean Cattley has held the belt for about eighteen months and cleanly won all but one of his defences. I would imagine that your style of fed is going to affect whether cheap finishes affect Prestige or not. A DQ win in the ME of a Traditional fed's show is unlikely to go down as well as a clean pin or submission.

Why wouldn't a DQ win in a traditional fed go down well? Traditional feds, assuming traditional is like 70's/80's NWA and such, surely had many cheap finishes.

[James Casey]

It's just a guess, but when playing as MAW and I ran matches where one side cheated to win the match, the crowd hated the finish. I haven't tried count-out or DQ finishes, but I imagine they'd go down poorly too. Of course, no two feds in the game have the same settings, so...

[Wicked Intentions]

It also depends on if the wrestler is face or heel... I was turning Matt Hardy heel in this storyline I got going on and I forgot to handle the turn in the angle before the match and thus the fans didn't like the ending since Matt is a face.

Anything over medium is not gonna like the cheap finishes, iirc.

[QUOTE=Jasx12;221099]Doesn't MAW have heavy on realism? Anything over medium is not gonna like the cheap finishes, iirc.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the reason that the MAW fans don't like Cheap finishes at the start is all to do with how high the Realism is rather than the Traditional factor.

[James Casey]

Ah, that'd be it. Well, my point was still valid, kind of :p

It got to the point where fans were expecting a Dusty Finish or for the Horsemen to come running out of the lockerroom to interfere.

[soundsofsilver]

Was the prestige of the WCW Title tarnished when Hogan was the champ in the nWo? I would say that it was not, as it was a HUGE deal when Sting won it. Of course, the events that occurred with the Sting thing brought the prestige down a bit, and in the Arquette era the prestige went down infinitely.

[Wildcat]

WCW no longer had a heavily traditional style during the NWO storyline, they were heavily focusing on shock tactics, lucha inspired modern and sports entertainment by that time in competition with the WWE's Attitude style. In a true traditional promotion such as the old WWWF and the AWA, dusty finishes were frowned upon.

(I get the realism part from the fact that, if I'm remembering correctly, like every match had some kind of run-in.)

[soundsofsilver]

nWo-era WCW I would have given Key feature Mainstream, heavy traditional, low risque, low modern, low-medium lucha... something like that. Definitely NOT heavy risque. But that's not what this thread is about. Anyway, when I think "traditional", I think 1980's NWA with Ric Flair as the champ, with run-ins and such. I feel like dusty finishes were common in this type of traditional promotion. Edit: What I'm trying to say, is I feel like run-in's have to do with the "mainstream" in a promotion, the "traditional" has nothing to do with it. Traditional I feel just refers to the traditional type of wrestling match you would expect to see between say, Bret Hart and Ric Flair.
