Some questions about overness

[psychedelicbeast]

Hi...I have a couple of questions.. 1)Lets say I have a match between 2 wrestlers, say Tommy Cornell and Runaway Train. Now lets say Tommy Cornell has A popularity everywhere in the US except for Tristate where his popularity is B. Runaway Train on the other hand, has B popularity everywhere in the US except for Tristate where his popularity is A. Now if I have an event in Tri-state ( PPV distributed all over US) where these 2 have a match, if Tommy Cornell wins, will Runaway Train lose popularity in US (since Runaway has a higher rating in Tri-state)? Or is it the other way round i.e. if Runaway Train wins, will Tommy Cornell lose overness in US, since on average Tommy has higher popularity in US? 2) Lets repeat the same situation but now Tommy is A across US and B across Japan, whereas Runaway Train is A across Japan and B across US. If we now have a match between them in Japan, who should win so that no one loses overness? 3) Slightly seperate...is there a way to have a feud between 2 so that if the lower overness worker wins the match, the higher overness worker doesn't lose overness? Thanks a lot in advance guys.....some help would be awesome!

So it's quite possible for a wrestler to lose popularity in the Tri State region, gain popularity in the Mid West, and see no change whatsoever on the West Coast, all from the same match. I can't tell if you were simplifying for the sake of clarity, but I will also add that losing a match doesn't necessarily mean you lose popularity at all, nor does winning a match guarantee an overness gain. The game isn't that linear either.
