richard4609 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hello. A few questions about booking. Here is my setup: C-verse, owner local promotion with a 2 popularity rating. I have ran 4 shows this far. Started with a 0 popularity rating. I am using wrestlers who are virtually unknown as they will work for no more than 150. I am wanting to run as realistic as possible with having to make money, ect... My questions are the following: 1. Should I book via momentum? What is a good momentum for someone to have number wise? I have a few at 40's, one at 50's, one at 60's, and a lot stuck in the low 30's and less. Also whats a good momentum for someone to have before you give them your main belt as mine is still vacant. 2. Should I book via stats. Should I put workers together who I know are going to deliver. Should I continue to build those up who have the highest star potential and future great ratings.... 3. Advanced booking. How many matches should I pre-post? The heat meater ranges from anywhere between 2-5. Should I not use that many advanced options as the lack of heat will drive people away? My shows ratings vary from 12 being the lowest to 16 being the highest. Each show brings up my popularity, but I am looking at getting the most out of my guys. Any tips and info is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booking by stats and momentum may not be entirely fool proof, as there is still chemistry to contend with. I've never started at the very bottom in C-Verse, so I'm not sure what would be acceptable as far as momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condors Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 since your just starting out you are in a golden age imho. You really can do no wrong and gain popularity. Take your wrestlers who autopush to main event and upper midcard and have them go over the midcarders and lower midcarders. Try to find chemistry. Try out tag teams of the lower guys and see if any have chemistry. If you have Jebbidiah and a brute gimmick you can have him dominate and gain popularity quickly. He will become a jerk like Xavier Reckless though. If you post your product and roster i can give you more detailed advice if you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvargus Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hello. A few questions about booking. Here is my setup: C-verse, owner local promotion with a 2 popularity rating. I have ran 4 shows this far. Started with a 0 popularity rating. I am using wrestlers who are virtually unknown as they will work for no more than 150. I am wanting to run as realistic as possible with having to make money, ect... . Congrats, you've got a decent start. 1. Should I book via momentum? What is a good momentum for someone to have number wise? I have a few at 40's, one at 50's, one at 60's, and a lot stuck in the low 30's and less. Also whats a good momentum for someone to have before you give them your main belt as mine is still vacant. I've started with local promotions and given a title belt to someone with less than 50 momentum and not has too big of issues as long as the worker was putting on some of the best matches in the company. You might see the belt slide in prestige initially, but have your worker defend it regularly against workers he puts on good matches with and the prestige should stay high. I have one game with a local (now small) promotion where the belt started at 80 prestige and has never dropped below 75, even though no wrestler is on my "who's hot" list. 2. Should I book via stats. Should I put workers together who I know are going to deliver. Should I continue to build those up who have the highest star potential and future great ratings..... What is your promotion rated on? Is it one where performance matters more? If it is you will book differently than if popularity matters more. Either way you need to put on the best matches possible. Use angles to build heat for matches and matchups. Look for good and especially great chemistry as that can improve a match quite a bit. If you find a wrestler with good chemistry fighting another and who is good on the microphone build up a feud. Have his ranting about the other, with the 2nd worker responding with attacks, interference and distractions. You can build up a lot of heat without a matchup and then have it explode with an "All Out Match" after 2 months or more of hype and promos. 3. Advanced booking. How many matches should I pre-post? The heat meater ranges from anywhere between 2-5. Should I not use that many advanced options as the lack of heat will drive people away?. Some people advanced book every matchup. Some only advanced book main events at their biggest shows. The "heat meter" is more to show how interested people are, and since you are a local promotion with unknown workers you won't see much heat unless you book a couple months in advanced and build the heat with angles, but that requires workers with either high menace or high entertainment skills in the right angles. Dont' worry about a lack of heat, that won't drive people away, but it does suggest you need to build your wrestlers a bit more. My shows ratings vary from 12 being the lowest to 16 being the highest. Each show brings up my popularity, but I am looking at getting the most out of my guys. Any tips and info is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help in advance. As a local promotion with 2 popularity you should be striving for a match rating of at least E-. In my experience the best popularity increases come when you get a match rating at least one full grade above your local popularity. Try to have your best match as the last one, and don't be afraid to use angles. That's about all I can suggest. I don't know who you have selected to hire, or much about the promotion product so I can't offer more specific advice. I can say that you can build up rather good shows over time. I have a lgame where I started with a local promotion and couldn't get much above an E match rating, now a year later I'm seeing regular D match ratings and a few sneak into the C- rang. (product balances popularity with performance, and I used a few very good feuds to get some workers to 35+ popularity.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitebender Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My questions are the following: 1. Should I book via momentum? What is a good momentum for someone to have number wise?

Also whats a good momentum for someone to have before you give them your main belt as mine is still vacant. >>> book via momentum, if someone has it, make sure they never lose. Gimmicky gimmicks get instant momentum, but you can use that to get other guys momentum. 2. Should I book via stats. Should I put workers together who I know are going to deliver. Should I continue to build those up who have the highest star potential and future great ratings.... >>> Book whoever is most popular. Unless your promotion is based on in ring skills. Then go for psychology. Also book gimmick matches that play to people's strength. 3. Advanced booking. How many matches should I pre-post? The heat meater ranges from anywhere between 2-5. Should I not use that many advanced options as the lack of heat will drive people away? >> With advanced booking as a local promotion just say your top star will be in a match that's it. That top star vs a mystery opponent draws higher than 2 top stars in a match together. That's all you need 1 match. My shows ratings vary from 12 being the lowest to 16 being the highest. Each show brings up my popularity, but I am looking at getting the most out of my guys. Any tips and info is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help in advance. >> The most from your guys? High entertainment means use them in entertaining angles. Have your brutes dominate people in 1 matches then have top guys go over your brutes in longer matches. Just play to their strengths.
