Is there a way to close a developmental/child promotion?

[Teh_Showtime]

It's because they have a huge roster and probably so many unpopular guys that it pushes those guys into the upper 10-15% of the roster, or main event.

So I'm playing a 2004 WWE mod and I've just realized that Austin and Goldberg are set to have hair. I know it's only a cosmetic issue but it's driving me nuts just looking at it. Is there any way to edit this once a game has started?

If you've got 100 on your roster, it will push 20+ at the top. Maybe Adam will patch this in future to accommodate an overness floor but until then this is how it is.</p>

And one with 30 wrestlers would have 6.</p>

[TeemuFoundation]

I have to say, though, 12 main eventers is quite a lot of main eventers when you think about it. For a company of 60 wrestlers, 6 main eventers sounds more like it. Being a main eventer is a huge feat, especially in a big, national company. 99% of wrestlers never make it there.

[Bigpapa42]

A 60-wrestler roster is pretty huge, though. That would be hard to juggle with just a 2 hour TV show. You pretty much need a second show. 12 different wrestlers who could be counted on to headline a show (TV or PPV) isn't unreasonable IMO. Not every one of those is going to be reliable to deliver a strong grade with any opponent.

[mrwhippy]

<p>Out of a 72 man roster, I have 10 main eventers. Pretty accurate I'd say.</p><p> </p><p>

And that's with a brand split (A and B show for each).</p>

[NeddyHernandez]

Did anybody figure out what personality traits change whether or not a main eventer babyface is unhappy about having to turn heel due to merchandise stuff?

<p>So im booking the WWE in 2016 and just had Cena Job to Abyss and win the World Title On Smackdown. I have a problem, Cena was furious even after I tried to keep him strong. Is there any other tips that can help me get my guys to job easier. </p><p> </p><p>

Not only that, but when I tried to pay him off 70,000.. hes still angry?</p>

You should have built Abyss up in popularity more so the notes would have been enough for Cena to agree to the loss. Menace angles and squash matches would do it in no time with Abyss.</p>

[Hulkamaniac85]

Very very small question. Is there a way to edit the "character" of a person in your development fed? I just hired a diva to NXT that I was hoping to give an alter ego to so that she could work there under that alter ego. Probably obvious and I'm just not seeing it.

You can call them up temporarily, and edit it there, then send them back down.
