Richyg Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Its something thats bugged me for a while... "How to increase a worker's Populairty?" I know they can increase if they beat someone with a higher popularity than themselves but is there any other way? For example, can my most popular wrestler (in this case Byron at D+ accross Europe) get any higher when there's no one high for him to beat up on? If someone has a list of ways then I'd be very grateful...
pepper2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Get better matches and angles, usually higher than his popularity in this case try to get C- and C. But there is also a matter of Star Quality and Destiny/Popularity Cap

Yeah, there's no one more popular than Byron in the EWA unless Louis Figo Manico decides to come off his hiatus. Just makes a well constructed storyline involving your current top folks (which I imagine would be Byron and Bam Bam Johansson... you should consider stealing someone from UEW if you can, such as Sergei Kalashnov or Joey Beauchamp if you haven't already). And by well constructed, I mean take FULL advantage of their abilities. Byron is relatively charismatic, can carry a match (well, by EWA standards), and has MASSIVE Sex Appeal. Take advantage of it. And, naturally, Bam Bam is very, very menacing. I originally got Bam Bam over in my game by using him and Marat Khoklov in a feud against each other by taking full advantage of their Menace stats. The matches were only passable at best, but the angles were golden (B+s and the like) and it put both of them on the map. Like I said, getting LFM to sign for you is a huge bonus, but isn't needed. Seeing as how he didn't lose a single match for me for over a year in the company (wrestling about 54 matches until it happened), I definetly managed to use him to get overness onto other people without jobbing him out. Byron honestly isn't much worse off that LFM, and you use him right you can get other folks over in a similar manner. And the key is angles. If you're trying to push folks in EWA with their awesome matches, then you shouldn't be playing as EWA. Because, at the start, C- matches are probably about the best you can hope for without any good chemistry notes, and that'll be with the top guys. But have your more charismatic people cut promos while someone stands around looking Menacing (or have multiple menacing guys, or multiple charismatic guys, or throw in an attractive lady, ect.) and people WILL start to build on that overness. Do it right, and Byron should start to get more over. Just abuse and take advantage out of what people have in angles. Try to avoid anything that rates on overness angle wise, because EWA is a company that is based on overness but LACKS overness. Trust me, using the default attack angles with guys like Jed High and Puffy The Sand Iron Player simply don't go down well. But both are sorta entertaining, Jed High has good sex appeal, and Puffy even has a smidgeon of Menace. They still won't be on fantastic angles, but using some of those stats the angles will be better than a double "Rated on Overness". 1. Use Well Constructed/Thought Out Storylines 2. Take Advantage of People's Abilities in Angles Such As Entertainment, Menace, and Sex Appeal 3. Pray Louis Figo Manico Come Off Hiatus 4. Pray Byron Doesn't Block You From Signing Louis Figo Manico Because He Costs Too Much (Because he was close to that cap of Byron's with me, so I'm sure it can happen) 5. Awesome Matches And Talent Are Secondary To Awesome Angles, Entertaining Workers, and People Who Are Big 6. Be Patient And if you want anymore EWA related advice, feel free to ask... I lack the modesty to deny that I'm probably the closest thing to an expert on how to run the company. Cult in 2010 and Boris Kiriyakin the International Superstar, here I come!
Condors Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I find it easier to make some custom angles based on the strengths of your workers and unchained storylines. The 1v1 taunt and the monster unleashed are good for a guy with entertainment skills or menace who are not yet over to base your custom angles. Also you could stick a guy with charisma in the booth for a while and he may get some overness(and even increase his entertainment skills even more).
Richyg Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks for all the help lads... especially from Comrade as your knowledge does have a special place in this particular situation! I'm sure this information will serve its purpose for others also! Plus I just checked Byron's specific value for popularity and hes about to go up to C- popularity so it has been working all along, just very slow!
