fusionfx Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm still trying to get the hang of booking SWF, so I have a question for the veterans of this game. Who fits well in the SWF? I'm not looking for names of people to bring in, I'm more or less looking for the types of workers, and things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe star quality, promo skills, and menace are the most important thing considering popularity is the most important thing in SWF grade wise.

Before I bring any of the younger guys in they need to have some experience under their belts, so to say? As in get their skills better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm still trying to get the hang of booking SWF, so I have a question for the veterans of this game. Who fits well in the SWF? I'm not looking for names of people to bring in, I'm more or less looking for the types of workers, and things like that. Overness. It trumps everything else in an entertainment company, where you can lower the match ratio to about 50% and have your highest rated angle be worth more to your show than your main event. If someone isn't over, then you want to hire people with a way to get themselves over... menace for menace based angles and charisma for entertainment based angles will do well. B- charisma will also avoid any penalties for using the domination note in matches, which is a great way to get people over, particularly when paired with a brute or legitimate gimmick. And star quality will help those gains go up more quickly too. Eventually you'll need psychology for someone to maintain strong match grades, but in the undercard low grades are nothing to worry about. And one person with strong psych an carry a match... I just pulled an A rating between Angry Gilmore and Marat Khoklov on a PPV match, my MOTN. Top row skills don't matter too much, though they will always help a bit. If you've got someone with the right combo of everything above, you've got a potential star on your hands. Overness, psychology, star quality and charisma. The keys to succeeding in the SWF.

gord Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Anyone tried putting their PPVs head-to-head with TCW? I'm considering it mostly because I'd prefer to have my stopping point at the start of a month rather than at the middle. I can always put them on Saturday instead of Sunday but there's the added bonus of hurting TCW as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
