For those of you who have Brand Splitted your Company

[Zobeto227]

How many people did you have on your roster when you did so?! I've got a huge roster (from what I think) of 12 midcarders, 8 uppermidcarders and all in all 10 Main Eventers with the majority of them A* in both the US and Canada. I'm thinking of brand splitting but I wanted to see how many people you had on you roster before you did so to gauge what I might do.

I've got 29 workers on RAW, 33 on ECW, and 34 on Smackdown. RAW has 5 Main-Eventers, 6 Upper-Midcarders, 5 Midcarders, and 3 Lower Midcarders. Then I have 10 Divas (two of which are just managers). ECW has 6 Main-Eventers, 5 Upper-Midcarders, 4 Midcarders, and 8 Lower Midcarders. Then there are 10 Divas there too (with 4 of them labeled as managers). Smackdown has 3 Main-Eventers, 5 Upper-Midcarders, 5 Midcarders, 8 Lower Midcarders, and 6 Openers. Then there's 7 Divas with only 1 as a manager.

Zobeto, sounds like you've got plenty of people for a split. With a women's division, an auto-push at International assigns me 8 main eventers, if I switch to integrated I get 12. So I say go for it. Maybe just two brands though, really depends on how you want to work it, what your TV deals are like, etc

Thank you Lita Maivia!

I've got 2 shows both running an hour & a half and that time is mostly used to work with my 10 Main Eventers & the guys just outside the main event (ie: Sam Keith, Lobster Warrior, & Mathew Cross)

I gave my company a brand split when I didn't even have that many people although now I've got a nice roster with around 5 main eventers on each brand, around 4 upper midarders on each, heaps of midcars and lower midcards and a few openers and enhancements.

I did a brand split in my current game at SMALL. I think I had 40 people on the roster? Since then I've gone out and signed a ton of new talent to the point where I think I might create a third brand strictly for tag teams. Seriously, the game doesn't divvy up talent by brand, from what I can tell. Adding a brand doesn't double your worker requirements (didn't for me. My ideal roster numbers didn't change, I don't think. But I admittedly don't pay attention to it).

Brand splitting doesn't double the Ideal Roster but it does make it larger by a bit. I've done it a few times with SWF.

I don't have the exact figures, but in my 1RC WWE game, I have something like 45 workers on each of Raw and Smackdown, and around 25 on ECW. I have eight tag teams on each of the main brands, and tend to have at least one six-man match on each show. At one point I considered giving ECW a tag division, but with only one hour a week, there was no way I could find the time. I also have about eight dev. territories, with about seventy or eighty workers spread across them. I won the future...
