Why is it that an upper midcarder and a women division wrestler opt to wrestle for a small (Regional vs. Cult) company?

 

I am #2 in the world, they are #8 but they opt to wrestle for them.

Does anybody know if the income for events with a subscription broadcaster go to a different place than usual?

My "PPV revenue" section under finance was between 2-4mil every month when using the North America Prime Select and Rivera PPV deals that SWF start with, but I did 3 shows with a Reverie subscription deal and those months all say 0 for PPV revenue.

I can't see that money made up anywhere else in my finances. Did I really lose 4 mil because I was on a subscription deal, or am I missing something and there is no income for subscription deals other than ticket sales?

Can you not change the gimmicks of your developmental workers while they are in your dev territory? If not that sucks for larger dev territories.

I forget, does it incur any expense if you own a developmental company? Not including any developmental workers I send down myself, what are the expenses if any of owning a developmental?

[Benjamin4011]

<p>I have a question about regional match grades...</p><p> </p><p>

I'm doing a RTG game, and am currently sitting a regional level fed, and in my home region have E+ importance and D- popularity. My product is Key: traditional, Heavy: lucha, modern, cult, pure, and Medium: risque and mainstream. I have two wrestlers putting on A and A* performances, but receiving a B grade for the match, and the only negative note I'm getting is, "there was a noticeable lack of flow in the middle, with nobody with psychology able to take control of the match," or something to that effect. My question is, is the grade being held back because of the size of my fed, because of the psychology skill of both wrestlers(I can't see their psych scores because scouting, but they're both within the Good to Excellent range), or some combination of both? </p><p> </p><p>

Any responses would be much appreciated.</p>

When worker hands in notice that he is unhappy with the company, is there anything to do to change his mind about staying the company and renegotiate his contract?

Can you upgrade your child companies production values? Can't find it anywhere and don't want to see them hurt their show because of a cap that I can very easily cover. Plus they're turning a profit on their own so naturally upgrading would be a plausible thing as well.

<p>Events vs Shows</p><p> </p><p>

Back when I first started, I wasn't popular enough for any broadcasters to be interested in me, so I started running a weekly event in addition to my monthly event. Now, I've also got a tv show on another day of the week. Is there any reason not to keep my weekly event running? I feel like it violates the logic of the world to have more than a few events running each month, but I don't think it breaks anything. Anyone have any thoughts on this?</p>

Right now my tv show is purely for expanding into markets that aren't covered by the Red de la Lucha deal (Mexico, PR, Mid South, and South West). So, my tv show loses me money every Friday since I'm trying to build popularity in regions that are either F or E level. However, I've still got the weekly Tuesday event that's sort of a catch-all and another weekly event on Saturdays that is purely for tag teams. Overall, I'm making a little over a million in profit each month, though it bounces around depending on whether I sign a new worker or build a new venue or something. These are both in addition to the pre-existing annual events each month. </p><p> </p><p> You're right though, it does get tedious sometimes when I'm engaged in a bidding war for one of my top stars and I have to wade through 3 nights of match-making in less than half a week.</p>

[Tiger_Moth87]

<p>Anyone got a way to change TV and fan expectations?</p><p> </p><p>

My last episode of Smackdown somehow pulled in a rating of 41.62 and both Raw and Smackdown have been high for a while.</p><p> </p><p>

But I still keep getting bitched at by television companies because my show quality isn't meeting their requirements which seems a bit... weird. Surely the broadcast companies won't care about show quality as long as ratings are high?</p><p> </p><p>

Incidentally, 41.62 seems slightly unrealistic. Vince would have a heart attack if he pulled in those ratings.</p><p> </p><p>

Another thing, is there a way to change fan expections? They're expecting 3 storylines of 77 heat. I've got 5 storylines hovering around the 75 mark and a few more in the mid 60s. It's annoying so I want to make a change so the fans are less picky.</p>

A worker of mine has signed a written contract with another company, but she's still hanging around. For how long can I use her in shows before she empties her locker and leaves for good?

If she's leaving a written deal with you then it will be when the deal would have run out normally, if she's leaving a PPA deal of any kind it will be 7 days. If it's a loan then she will still be available for the length of the loan, though those dates can clash with appearances in the new company.</p>
