Invite workers from across the alliance to compete for the glory of being tournament champion and the honour for their 'home' promotion. You could even see the event as the equivalent to the missing 'alliance champion' feature that some people desired, albeit that its only defended once a year in your control. </p><p> </p><p> I'll do something similar when I do my usual long-term CZCW game, a Cliff Anderson Invitational if you will, with a co-main event at Christmas Cage Chaos already booked in my mind as a multi-singles cage match featuring one recognisable name from each allied promotion.</p>

[MaxxHexx]

When Company A hires a worker on a PPA contract, where that worker also has a PPA contract with Company B, who is at war with Company A, how long should it be before the worker leaves Company B due to the 'war' relationship? Where in game could I find this amount of time listed?

[Oyaji]

So, the export spreadsheet feature is fully removed then? If so, is this due to the change in database formats?

[The-619]

So is there no way to pre-book a worker vs. TBA anymore? I couldn't see it when I tried to book the debut of a wrestler in my SWF game.

[MaxxHexx]

I have to agree, I find myself feeling dirty pre-booking my surprise new hire who is going to answer an open challenge that realistically would be "Worker A vs. TBA".

[ferasb]

<p>Quick question on pre-booking of matches... Is it possible to announce a match on an actual TV broadcast, say, at the beginning of the show to promote that night's main event? So far the times I've done this, it hasn't counted towards that night's show, but rather the show the following week.</p><p> </p><p>

In TEW 2010, all you had to do was check a box if you wanted that match on next week's episode and keep it unchecked if it was this week's show. That box is no where to be found this time around.</p>

<p>Can we still not sign guys who are loyal to other companies?</p><p> </p><p>

Using a slightly modified version of 20LEgend's mod (to test this specifically) I gave AJ Styles a PPA deal with TNA, making him available. I set WWE to Global, and tried to sign him. He accepts negotiations, but even with the best possible contract (Icon, Main Eventer, 100% bonus, CC+WM+HV, etc.) he still says he doesn't want to leave TNA.</p><p> </p><p>

So, even with the new negotiations, we're still right back where we always were, regardless of the money we offer?</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: Apparently, you can do it if you sign him to a PPA deal first.</p>

And you clearly didn't read my previous post properly either so I'll give you a better one within the Cornellverse. Magnum Kobe is loyal to WLW. He'll sign a PPA or touring deal with anyone else in Japan but he won't (or at least he shouldn't) sign a contract with anyone that would force him to leave WLW. So he can have loads of other jobs that help to build up his name value and talents, but his loyalty to WLW will ensure he stays with them and doesn't, for example, end up signing a written deal with BHOTWG. This wouldn't happen before, and is a massive improvement for Kobe's career prospects that should help him become even more valuable for WLW and the rest of the Modern Japan alliance who he will likely be loaned to too.</p>
