Grudge Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ok I give, I don't have an answer to this question. But maybe someone on the forum does. I cannot seem to make money as USPW I've only gone about 6 months in game time so far and in none of those months have we been in the black. Has anyone managed to use USPW and make a profit, if so please explain how. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsofsilver Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'm in the same boat, and I'm a little nervous about it to, since one of my Owner Goals is to expand from $5 million to $7.5 million in 2 years, which I don't see happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grudge Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ok I think I might have a good idea now, maybe. Bruce the Giant makes 21,000/month James Justice 15,000/m Peter Valentine 7,500/m Alicia Strong 4,000/m Ok well those don't help but are not the main reasons because my deficit is in the hundreds of thousands. And I pay no travel costs either, made sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterx7769 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 When you signed your PPV deal did you give them 100% of the profits? I think I got mine with PPV4-U at 90% which gives a little money right now. Also raise all your ticket prices by 4 (thats just what I did) and I didnt see any change in attendance.

praguepride Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Are you putting on house shows? If all you're workers are written, or at least those big names are, then you need to be working the hell out of them. Maybe put on an additional show, add some house shows or something to get some more revenue coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTuckerman Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 How do you book house shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 In the control room, click on schedule -> House Shows and set them up there. You pick who you want to go and when you want your house shows to run. Note you can only do house shows for written workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grudge Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yea my PPV contract says that I'll get 90% but at the end of the month I get jack! I don't have enough workers to put on house shows yet, you need ten min. And I'm gonna try and raise the tickets some, at least slow down my hemorage a little.

Gigas Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 You cant book house shows with USPW. You dont have enough workers on written contracts. USPW starts with $5 mil for a reason, its because you'll need it. You need to start developing younger, cheaper talent that can actually hold a good match. This is hard because Sam Strong will make you push Peter Valentine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsofsilver Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Luckily, he didn't make me push Valentine, he's making me push Bruce and Nicky Champion, which I'm okay with. I'm just not sure how I'm going to make a 2.5 million profit in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino_montero Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 If you don't have to push Valentine, then dump him the first chance you get. USPW was hard to make money with in 2007 also. I lost about 3 million dollars before I turned that around. Immediately you have to bring in people with talent. If you have an early owner goal dealing with money, good luck.
