justtxyank Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 <p>1994 - The World Wrestling Network, a new promotion started by Jim Crockett, Jr., which was affiliated with the National Wrestling Alliance, held a television taping entitled "World Wrestling Network in New York" at the Manhattan Center in New York City, New York.

Jaysin Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Eddie Gilbert was booking ECW I believe, but I'm fairly certain that part of why WWN failed was Heyman left to be booker for ECW. I read somewhere that Crockett and Heyman clashed over the direction of the company. Crockett wanted to stick to tradition where Heyman wanted to move forward. Crockett also didn't like what ECW did with the NWA title. WWN has a cool little story for a promotion that was around for so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as concerned about the financial aspect of this, or many games. It is hard to currently even simulate some Era's pre-PPV for this and many other reasons in TEW. Because you cannot accommodate large scale companies with PPV deals to do normal large house type shows, no? Could I run IYH and the like just as a large show? I was just going to book it as a 2 hour-ish PPV and consider it as a VHS special type event that won't advance story too much. If I could run just a large show in game, that works better; if not I'm not bothered. I know there would be no way to simulate this currently with the AI as you should be running your max event size.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Hive" data-cite="Hive" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34853" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>This is in no way a major update, but here it is nonetheless: <span style="font-size:36px;">CoTT 1.08!</span><p> </p><p> Download link is in the first post.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> WHOOP!

Beejus Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 So..... question. Why is it that, in both this and in WotW, TNT and USA are not the same size? TNT is set as a Big network, while USA is only Medium. And, follow-up question; at what point would you think that they would become the same size?

Beejus Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've run into a few oddities as television goes. For one, I had to make TNT "highly pro" in order to get primetime, though that could have had to do with the economy and wrestling industry being C+ and B- respectively, and both falling. Also, I cannot get TBS to agree to make Saturday Night into a B-show now that I have Nitro. But as far as my initial topic here goes, as much as I love seeing that my Nitro decimated Raw in the TV ratings, a 7.98 to 4.51 just seems far more lopsided than it perhaps should be.

Hive Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah I have added it to my todo list, making them the same size. If nothing else then for the sake of game balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
