CharlieRock Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 <p>What sort of Product does a company want if you were simulating a "classic, golden-age" wrestling company? Like, Strangler Lewis or Gorgeous George days? </p><p> </p><p> It's not Traditional, although I like to call it that. I set a company to Traditional and was rather surprised to see it demanded all sorts of gimmicks. (I guess nobody told Bruno Sammartino that.) I tried also setting it to Pure, but it requires a very high match intensity. Traditionally these guys wrestled back to back days and nights. I don't see what category to try next.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieRock Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 A question regarding contracts: I have been reading this thread and noticed many times it is noted that a talent will wait six months before resigning a contract with you.
