Well, Im looking for a way to book my best females in WWE. In real life Becky Lynch is as over as any of the male workes in WWE but in the game i find it very hard to get the Women over to the point they can main event. I've pushed Becky Lynch really hard, having her winning multiple titles from the likes of Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Bayley. I've had Becky loose one single match in 2019 and that was to Asuka on Wrestlemania, so she lost about 3 pop there. Even so, before that match, I only managed to get Becky from 55 to 65 in pop, where Im kinda stuck (same with Alexa Bliss on the other brand, however she's at 68). Its just no one higher that I can have them winning against, so any thoughts how I can get them more over even if they're top of the food chain?

 

For example, I've gotten Andrade Almas from 49 pop to 86 in 5 months, since I can book him against more over guys, but that's not a luxury in the Womens division.

This is the current state of my Womens division if that helps.

How about mixed matches?

[smmccallum]

I'm curious how long of matches do you guys use on TV and on PPV

[Hashasheen]

<p>Been playing around with a vanilla version of 2016, and got it into my head that GCG's various old gaijin midcarders of the 00s need something fresh. They're too long in the tooth for GCG, they're not that useful around Japan, they're not important enough to bring back to America. </p><p> </p><p>

So I started thinking, what's with all the American-ness in GCG? Why do these guys realistically need to be American? I mean, both NJPW and ZERO-1 have shown the potential in recruiting Oceanic wrestlers...</p><p> </p><p>

So yeah, I'm grabbing all those guys, giving them Aussie and Kiwi backgrounds to replace their American ones, moving around their North American pop and going to put them into a fed down south. Possibly in New Zealand, which only has ZEN. I'm also going to shift over a lot of the Samoans onto Tongan backgrounds, as a nod to Haku and Bullet Club OGz. Not sure if I'm going to sign them to this fed, but the background change will happen. </p><p> </p><p>

So that means I've got: </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Company Staff:</strong> Pistol Pete Hall – Stuart Ferdinand</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Veterans:</strong> Barry Griffin – Barry Kingman – Dean Daniels – Henry Bennett – Nathan Coleman</p><p> </p><p>

But, what I now need are youngsters. New faces. Rookies. So for those of you who play around in Australia and New Zealand, who are some interesting faces that you might recommend that I should sign from the free market, or steal from other promotions?</p>

I plan to create women's title for Dragon Gate, any ideas for a name for this title?

[sportsfanmas]

<p>A couple booking questions for my WWF 1991 dynasty, which I've made a brand split. I have primary and secondary singles titles for both brands, and I am working on putting tag teams together for a single Tag Team title tournament across both brands and just have 1 set of tag team champions. I also have a Next Gen title which is basically going to be a specialty title for wrestlers age 26 and under. </p><p> </p><p>

I've been told that anybody that is involved in my Next Gen or Tag Team division, I should set them up to No Brand so that they can work on all the shows without an issue. First question, is this totally necessary? Will I get a penalty for having a brand b worker on a brand a show? I just wonder if it's worth the hassle to keep changing wrestlers back from no brand to a specific brand and vice versa. The other thought would just be to have each brand have a set of tag titles and a specialty title, but honestly, the tag team division in current WWE is so bad, it's the same 2 or 3 teams battling for each brands tag titles. What say you?</p><p> </p><p>

Second question.. in one of my upcoming shows, I want to book a finish which sees wrestler A get a tainted victory by using a foreign object. Then after the match, either an authority figure or another referee comes in and informs the match referee what happened, who then reverses the decision. Is this something easy to book? Obviously I can book the tainted victory for Wrestler A, but is there a specific reverse decision angle or something like that which would show that Wrestler B officially wins the match by DQ? I hope I'm not confusing anybody with my questions.</p>

I believe they'd go with something simple like Open the Joshi Gate. Or perhaps you could not make a gender distinction within the name itself and create something like Open the Pride/Strenght/etc. Gate. Check PGHW's event names in the CVerse to get more ideas

Open the Strenght Gate should be good name for championship for only heavyweight Wrestlers

 

Finally i decided to use Open the Diamond Gate name for women's title.

[Kiheiji]

'Joshi' just means woman so you're suggesting to "Open the Women's Gate"<img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

If your tag scene's that bad (and in 1991, it probably is) then stick with the one set of tag titles.</p>

The gate of their hearts, of course!

<p>Playing as TCW, and I have decided that Jay Chord needs to get a mega push (attitude be damned) if I am going to compete with SWF and USPW long term. I had planned to have a tournament at <strong>The War To Settle The Score</strong>, where he would beat Ricky Dale Johnson in the final with help from a faction I plan to build around him, eventually leading to a "War Games" match at <strong>Total Mayhem</strong> and a retirement match for RDJ at <strong>Summer Showdown</strong>. </p><p> </p><p>

Then, at the start of February (the month of the tournament) Rip Chord died. I feel like the natural thing would be to make this the "Rip Chord Memorial Tournament" and run it yearly, but I feel a bit weird about having Jay win a tournement by cheating that's being held in memorial of his father's death less than a month before...</p><p> </p><p>

Am I over thinking it?</p>

What year are you in? Because remember, at the start, the only guys who can handle a Total Mayhem match without complaining (Brawling at 67 or better) are Rocky, Sammy, Josh, Guide, Vessey, Andrews, Wolf, and Eddie Peak. Jay Chord is right on the cusp, if I recall, but if the rest of your faction doesn't include any of those guys listed, then you'll need to do some building or talent raiding.</p>
