good matches

In collel verse - what are good matched using the company swf? I'm new to the connel verse and would like some tips on what to do and such. ty

Well, the SWF is essentially supposed to be the C-Verse version of the promotion in your posting name. The biggest stage of them all. The big show everyone of an Americanized temperment is aspiring to get to. Run them like you would envision WWE doing or like how your ideal WWE would be.

I cant seem to get a good show though; and I always ended up killing momentum of everyone idk what I am doing wrong.

Short version: You're booking badly.

 

Long version: You're just not seeing what you should be seeing. If you're a WWE fan and you structure a show essentially like WWE typically does, you WILL get the bare minimum ratings you need to maintain your popularity. Book it in a way that's slightly more idealized than WWE and you'll get better than you need to maintain popularity.

 

You need to know your workers, first and foremost. I'm guessing you haven't yet noticed the similarities between SWF's workers and basic WWE archetypes. Let me see if I can help a little.

 

Christian Faith is your glue. He's your go-to guy. If you put ANYBODY in a storyline, angle, or match with the Army of One, that person will come out of it looking like a billion dollars, win, lose, or draw. If you put him in a main event match with even someone like Marat, you've got a B rated match right there, almost guaranteed.

 

Eric Eisen is essentially Shane McMahon. Don't expect much because you won't get much. He lives and dies from his overness and momentum. He's not nearly as talented as the other headliners (at least not at the start). But, he's easier to carry to a good match than TCW's paper champion.

 

Angry Gilmore is the smark magnet. Everyone with a brain believes he should be main eventing (and it's true) but no one in "the office" seems to think so. He's got the skills, he just needs the overness (and a manager. I use his wife, for obvious reasons). I always have awesome results with Faith-Gilmore (again, for reasons that should be obvious).

 

One storyline I've used has Gilmore winning the world title from Eric Eisen due to Joe Sexy's (unwanted) interference. Faith takes exception to Gilmore winning in tainted fashion and believes it was Gilmore's intent all along. They feud with Gilmore professing his innocence and Faith not believing him (with random attacks by Sexy on Faith to reinforce Christian's belief). So every 2-3 months, Gilmore faces Faith for the world title at a PPV. They trade the title back and forth, I get ratings and buyrates that keep the company growing, and everyone who even touches the storyline, gets boosted in some way.

 

Get to know your workers. It's the fastest and easiest way to get great results.

Great advice from Remi, as always.

 

There are two things I tend to do with the SWF, which tends to have really strong results regardless of what version of the promotion...

 

The first is to make sure to use the main eventers. Popularity is your key and they are your most popular workers. Its making the best use of your resources. It might be tempting to build up some of those midcard talents by giving them a ton of TV, but don't do so at the expense of a guy who already has that level of popularity, as it your grades can suffer. Also, be very careful with guys who have next to no overness - everyone wants to create new stars, and typically signs DWN, the Keith Boys, Champagne Lover, Gino Montero, etc. Nothing wrong with that, but they all start with nearly no popularity, so you need to be very carefully so that they don't drag down matches and angles. Use a B show or dark time.

 

Second is to protect your top guys. There is a reason that the likes of Triple H, John Cena, and the Undertaker lose rarely. It works very effectively in the game, too. It helps keep their popularity and momentum up, which helps raise those around them, even if not giving up clean wins.

Also...he doesn't need a manager. He's very good on the mike. There's Jack Bruce (PUSH HIM PUSH HIM BY GOD PUSH HIM. Seriously. He is the most over guy in the US in the game (that's an active worker). Push. Him. Even if he doesn't have the title, use him in angles. Overness, Entertainment, whatever. USE HIM.), Christian Faith...then I think Gilmore's third on Talk the Talk. Money and Sexy I think round out the 5.

Sweet thank you! So -- do I make sure all my maineventers never loose, or just a couple?

I would protect a few. And its not about having them never lose. Its about protecting them, so when they do lose, its most effective. Nothing wrong with having one of those protected workers lose in a tag match - just make their partner take the loss. When they do lose, you can use Open Match to minimize the hit they take.

Whoever you think are your key main eventers, obviously you can still have guys lose but just not cleanly (Look at WWE for an example, Main Event Faces like Orton, Cena and Edge dont lose cleanly) as in by DQ, countout, interference, distraction etc.
