castorius Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Any tips on booking a successful Royal Rumble? I've got a Royal Rumble event coming up soon, but I'm worried that you can't setup a realistic Royal Rumble without getting bad ratings. Is there any way you can have 30-workers and have the show go on for over an hour and still be successful? What's the best ratings you've gotten on a Royal Rumble? And when you got this rating, did you run a legit true-to-life Royal Rumble? (30-workers, over an hour match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitywpi Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I recommend the 'protect' rating for a lot of people, either signifying "Hey, everyone go easy on this guy" or "Hey, this guy can only go five minutes, so whoever #4 is after him, take him out or he'll look bad."

EdgeHeaD Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 My Rumbles have all actually got at least a B rating. I guess TEW concentrates more on the better workers or something. Try and include as many people in the same storylines into the match would help wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanreao Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 You can always run a practice one. Start a new game and do one to see how it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 TEW has always been unfair to Rumbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(how many participants?) Did you use any particular road agent notes? Did you get any comments about keeping some workers on-screen too long?

RKO_HBK Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 My last Royal Rumble (so, 30 people) lasted 54 minutes, I used the "keep strong" road agent note for a few of the losers. It got a B rating. The other before that (same set-up) was a B-. EDIT: And for both, I got no comments about workers been on for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malioc Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 How good is your company / product / ratings for comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKO_HBK Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well WWE, so global company. I used to get As on the same shows, but this was never too bad at all. Although I should note, just realised I was posting in the 08 forum, my examples being from 07...feel quite stupid now lol, so just disregard what I've said if alot has changed in Battle Royals from 07 to 08 :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
