Are storylines really important?

[jordanmason17]

Hey everyone! I'm going to start a Ruthless Aggression save in a little while but I'm wondering if story lines are actually important in getting people over? I plan on doing long-term rivalries but I just plan on doing them as they go along without using the storyline creator, I normally do use the storyline creator but definitely would rather building superstars and having successful shows without it.

 

Thank you in-advance

<p>Depending on the product you are required to have storylines or else you will get a penalty.</p><p> </p><p>

Storylines don't have to be angles, you can have a "Joe vs Schmoe" storyline going and be based on all matches. This works good for companies that do not require storylines and angles and will help with the match heat.</p>

<p>Storylines are by far the easiest way to generate momentum and more momentum for a worker means better match grades, better angle grades, faster popularity growth, etc.</p><p> </p><p>

It's not a necessity but it makes the job much easier</p>

In my performance-based feds, I like to use storylines and I create angles where wrestlers (or teams/stables) participate in interviews together with an interviewer and a menace-based "security" person. I include a few interview angles that turn into brawls or feature run-ins. This way, there are no skits or soap opera stuff - just matches and interviews. the interview angles can build up the storylines and the storylines can build momentum.

Storyline heat effects match rating if your workers are in an angle or match that contains workers in a storyline the heat will effect the rating of the match or angle. Then the match or angle if higher than the storyline heat will raise the heat. Its a cycle.

 

After that when you remove a worker from a storyline if the have a good success rating they will gain momentum based on how good (fairly good, good, very good, great, excellent, fantastic) and how high the heat of the storyline is.

 

I use storylines even in performance over pop feds.

in the past i have tested this a few times and ive found that storyline heat has no effect on segment ratings, the only effect it has is when you end or remove workers from a storyline
