Multi brand shocks

[wilts]

OK, the title might not tell you much, but here we go.

I am playing a real world mod and I am in April 2009, using WWE, running all 3 brands, with RAW and Smackdown having A shows, and ECW being a 2 hour B show.

A bit of history to my game. Jericho and Trips were champs of RAW and SD respecitvely at the start, HBK was feuding with Y2J all through the end of 2008.

HBK won the Rumble, entitling him to fight for any world title that he chooses at 'Mania, Trips was still champ of SD, and in the months following the rumble, there was teasing of both a final match between HBK and Y2J at Mania and a possible HBK turn on Trips setting them up for Mania, at Mania however, HBK shocked the world and defeated 'The Master of Dominotion' thus making the jump to ECW!!!! OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I figured it was time for HBK to start winding down as I can not be sure how much longer he will be active and didn't want him ruining any big storylines, so thought I would chuck him on ECW to give the younger guys a rub.

 

So, anyone pulled moves like this. What A* superstars do you have exclusively on the B show?

It's a pretty meaningless waste to have an A* guy on a B show, I'd say... what do you gain from that?

Overness rub from having your young guys lost to and get into 6 min segments with someone with A* overness. The fact HBK is talented is just icing on the cake.

That would work only if You have many other guys that are very over on your main brands... Otherwise it is not a wise decision - yeah, some guys will get the rub by being in the squared circle with HBK, but your ratings of main shows [which are those that matter the most, btw.] will suffer...

<p>Then it's a great way to make new stars <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> It's always the case of weighing the potential gains and losses - and if You have other over guys and HBK wouldn't be the most important player anyway, You're doing a good thing putting him on the B show.</p><p> </p><p>

Out of curiosity, what are those super over guys You are talking about? Maybe a screen with popularity, stats, or something? I'm very interested in how other people play TEW 08, it is so deep that probably there are so many things I didn't even think about <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Id be interested in seeing a screen shot or something too. Would appreciate it a lot.

Also then the typical bunch such as Trips, Cena, Y2J, Taker, Kane, Orton.</p><p> </p><p> If you have seen my other thread about my roster, you will know that it is overly bloated....</p>
