Quick question regarding pre and post shows. I know they do not affect the main shows rating at the end but I was wondering do they affect the popularity and also create heat for the crowd? And one more thing I wondered is if they count towards the repetitive booking penalty?

So, just booked a 32 minute Classic Cage match, between Austin and Goldberg, Steve got a 100 match rating, and Goldberg got a 98, the match got an 80 rating, and the dirt sheet negative were; lack of selling, commentary (Jim Ross), colour (Bobby Heenan) and commentary line up lack of experience, is that really enough to bump that match down to 80? I found this very confusing. I didn't get any visibly tiring notes either, as it was a spectacle, and therefore had slow build. Any explanations?

I'm thinking of setting up an In Your House or Clash of the Champions type series of PPVs since WCW has a lot of crappy PPV names. Is there a way to set it up where if I have 4 or 6 of them per year they could be numbered and the game would auto add the numbers after was one? I know it can do it for a yearly PPV but not sure about the way I want to do it.

Or does that have no effect on the outcome of the change?</div></blockquote><p> I don't think it does. Gimick changes have to do with how much time has passed since the last one and might have to do with how good a rating the gimmick itself got. Face/Heel turns also have to do with time since the last one, buildup to the turn, how many "shock" turns you've done recently (I've been penalized for that once) and maybe how good the wrestler is in playing a face or heel.</p><p> </p><p> That said, reports that workers did well during the segment are related to high skills in what the segment utilizes. They're basically hints until you have enough scouting points. For example, imagine hiring someone with "Strong" Entertainment&Camera skills. You put them in a few angles based on Entertainment, Microphone or Acting and regardless of the angle's rating, you get no special report. Then you use them in a Sex Appeal or Menace segment and told they did great. It still says "Entertainment&Camera: Strong" but you've already located their strong point.</p>

<p>I have aquired a couple of devs for my company. One being GSW...</p><p> </p><p>

Long story short, I gave them a TV show on my network.</p><p> </p><p>

How do I cancel their TV show so I can end my relationship with them.</p><p> </p><p>

They aren't working out as a dev and are now cult. I want to end their TV.</p>

<p>Could someone please link me up to a video where Sean McFly's "Delorean Driver" is performed? My google skills fail me. It's supposed to be a Spinning Northern Lights Bomb or something. Thanks.</p><p> </p><p>

I only found it mentioned in Y2J's 1004 moves list from Nitro back in the day. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I'm playing The Mod Squad's Golden Age mod and a number of promotions have only one potential founder set to mandatory. Which means that the person has to be unemployed to set the company up when on the month it's supposed to pop up.

 

I didn't know this, and a number of feds like ECW and WING never got founded because the potential founder was employed.

 

If I fiddle with the contracts in the editor and make those founders unemployed, will they set up companies now, or am I screwed because the editor date for the company has passed?
