Relationships

[Luminairus]

I got to say, and I apologize as I'm rather frustrating, I can not stand the card game for WS2. You have to wipe the floor with them to develop a relationship, it's way to easy to lose and the computer has on more then a dozen occasions pulled out a victory out of the blue, and you always go first so your already going to have a high chance of losing due to bankruptcy.

Best bet is to save before going to the show/calling them up.

 

It IS worth it though. Getting the right connections can land you into bigger promotions. In fact it's almost impossible in Rookie to Legend to get into the big three of the US without connections.

What is the actual profit for the relationships? I have Ole Anderson as a mentor and that's it. I worked a bit in Georgia, but I got into WWF & AWA without any relationships beside the mentor. In my earlier save, I didn't even have that and won multiple world titles (AWA, GCW, WWF...). It really isn't worth it, in my opinion. Winning matches consistently and rising to a upper midcard status in regional promotions has been all that I needed to get a job at cult level, even got a chance to go to MACW (national) but turned it down, because of the written contract requirement.

 

I have just completely ignored them, just because of the system, which is very unforgiving. It hasn't affected my game in anyway, just got a intercontinental title in WWF. (Lost though to Fuji, he hit finisher after finisher with no momentum, until I tapped out.)

 

To me, it is just best to ignore them, they don't seem to do much for your career. I couldn't get hired by GCW any sooner than AWA, even though my mentor was booking GCW.
