JS The Monster Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I am currently using the 2002 mod, and my promotion is TNA. TNA has in his hometown 48 popularity and around the rest of America something of 26. I tried to get ppv carriers and tv networks to carry my show. Point is they wont do it. Even the small networks. My question is how do i gain popularity and maybe get a tv show, without any form of pvv or tv broadcasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio3060 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Your popularity is too low across the country. You would need to do shows in these other areas to raise your popularity until a network picks you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 yeah the weekly ppv thing wont work at this stage alas. Maybe make a tiny ppv carrier in the editor and assign it to tna maybe that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 yeah the weekly ppv thing wont work at this stage alas. Maybe make a tiny ppv carrier in the editor and assign it to tna maybe that will work. But that would be cheating. I think the problem here is just that the overall popularity isn't big enough. And with Cult you're going to lose a lot money if you haven't got a PPV deal.. So. You went to Cult way too fast/The mod is designed poorly.

pepper2008 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Classic fall of a company rushing to Cult, so kiddies try to avoid replicating that folly:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC_chris Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 TNA has in his hometown 48 popularity and around the rest of America something of 26 Surely that's not enough pop to be at Cult? Still only be regional, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Surely that's not enough pop to be at Cult? Still only be regional, no? You need two regions in.. D, was it? To get to Cult size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC_chris Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You need two regions in.. D, was it? To get to Cult size. Yeah that's right. 48 pop might be enough for D, but 26 isn't is it? EDIT: Just checked, 26 would be E. 48 is right at the lower end of D+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 So, what's required to maintain financial stability at Cult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Stranger Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 So, what's required to maintain financial stability at Cult? As with so much else, it depends on your product - sponsorship, etc. Significant profit per month at Regional helps - particularly if you've got a few hundred thousand in the bank to help cover you until PPV can start helping.

Hyde Hill Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Aye and best to spread those regions that get you to cult out for the better spillover. Best a good cash reserve and multiple regions close to the cult barrier. That way tv deal will make money and gauranteed a ppv. If dont get a ppv deal dont bother with tv.

James Casey Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Well, I'm approaching Cult with MAW based off three regions. I have a couple of hundred thousand in the bank, likely to be around $300k by the time I hit Cult in a year or so... Should I be looking to spread out to four or five regions and eat the loss for a spell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Kane Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Im playing the same mod, with TNA ... i hold shows in 3 places, Tri State, Mid South, South East ... 1 show per week (thursday weekly PPV, Very small carrier) (voom btw is the carrier who will accept u after 2 syndications of the above 3 regions). I signed a 6 month deal with voom, at the end of it i should be in a position to get on a bigger PPV network for 6 more months before i try for TV (any size as long as it covers the majority of regions in the usa). Ken Shamrock is my champion and will be untill i get a TV deal so he's in for a nice long run. And Rey Mysterio is the face of my company and X division champion. Im also buiding up Beer Money early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I went to Cult, I had $500,000.00 in the bank, plus good popularity in 3 areas and a national TV deal. Although it was close, I would have gone bankrupt but for using the editor. If you cannot get a PPV deal, then you are reliant on your attendances to keep you afloat. I consider you need at least 1 region at C+ popularity as a minimum.

DeadCeleb Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 For The OP: There's a PPV Carrier in the mod named Voom. They're only Very Small, but they picked me up in my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisen-verse Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Not to hijack this topic but my question is within this same ideal and didn't want to start a brand new topic just to do so. I'm running my own version of X-WA as a TNA'esque kind of promotion trying to rise up the ranks of the Cornellverse. I'm currently at the Cult level and my influence is D-'s across most of the country except a D in the Tri-State and the Mid-South. Would it be smarter for a company like this to run a weekly PPV or try to get a TV show? I know you don't really make a great return in TV since the networks tend to lock you in at 90% on both options. So, would I end up being better off financially running a weekly PPV? or would the fact that I was running a weekly PPV hurt overall ratings and in turn not make much money? I have a lot of money in the bank but wanted to know what was a better idea. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad5226 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The thing about running weekly shows reguardless of being PPV or TV is that you have to pay PPA contracts which starts to add up after awhile. I would say Just run a monthly PPV and maybe a couple non televised shows a month to gain the popularity...but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
