So I have a current deal with a broadcaster to show tour highlights that wont begin. I've been waiting for it to start for months and I have no other broadcasters for touring. I cant cancel because it hasn't begun, and I also cant hire a new one due to clashing coverage. Has it not begun yet due to other broadcasting deals outside of tour highlights? Or is it something else?

<p>Choosing/Starting a Company</p><p> </p><p>

Often I start my own Fed, or change jobs from 1 fed to another, only to realize that the Style was not REALLY what I was looking for. I guess I'm not clear on how to read the Company Stats to understand if a fed is based on Popularity vs Workrate. </p><p> </p><p>

Can anyone advise a thread/resource where I can better understand how this works?</p><p> </p><p>

(ex: if I am looking for a fed that is based on workrate - not popularity - but is not 100% opposed to storylines...how do I set/find those stats?)</p>

<p>I've never really used match aims, as I've never been able to use them proberly. </p><p>

But what would be the best for a Street Fight? Car Crash, Mayhem, Wild Brawl? Something else completely?</p>

It's best suited for covering poor workers who probably wouldn't hit the rating cap anyway.</p><p> </p><p> Wild Brawl is okay, but it has to be short (it's a stamina hog <em>and</em> it gets penalized if it's 16 minutes or more). It also might bite you if put in the wrong spot because it needs an already hot crowd. </p><p> </p><p> Personally, I'd go with Car Crash. It's simpler to place on the card for someone not used to match aims because it can easily be used as your opening match since it specifically gets the crowd hot and buzzing like good opener should. You do need good psychology though. (In my case, it'd also satisfy a product requirement, which is nice.)</p>

So, I have guys in developmental with their gimmick set to "None." Once I call them up and attempt to give them a gimmick, it always says they have debuted without a certain gimmick although I've changed it. There is also no option to click "Handle Changes" and after, the gimmick I selected for them is no longer set to change. Anyone else had this or have a solution?

My best example is GSW: their tag champions are a super green guy (Boneyard) and a super obese guy who can't go for more than 5-6 minutes (BB Colossus) so all their matches are using that goal to hide their utter lack of skill</p><p> </p><p> Wild Brawl would require workers with a good Brawling stat (not Rumble in general) and good stamina. Not sure if Street Fight is Regular, Hardcore or Brawl based, but if it's the latter you can work wonders with the right workers emphasizing their Brawling skill</p><p> </p><p> Car Crash is basically All Out with some extra psychology requirements and increased injury risk. This means you'll need workers who can put in good performances, are over, have good psychology, good stamina and resilience.</p><p> </p><p> Hope that helps!</p>

<p>I hold a big Halloween-themed event every October, traditionally headlined by a special battle royal with a tournament title as the prize. It finally hit Historic importance last year, which begs the question: if I main event with this match would all 20 participants suddenly gain 10% towards Hall of Immortals due to headlining a historic event? If that's the case, I'll have to consider placing it somewhere else on the card because that seems kind of wonky.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>I am the booker of a company, not the owner. </p><p> </p><p>

My goal is to eventually graduate from booker to owner. Is there a place where I can apply or check if I'm eligible to run the company? Do I simply have to wait until the cpu owner retires and wants to sell or is there another way?</p><p> </p><p>

I tried to go to our company profile page and click business but of course it said, you can't click on this while you work here. </p><p> </p><p>

I would like to avoid "leaving the company" simply to apply to own it...I would rather go from booker to owner while remaining in control.</p>

<p>Is the "pay per appearance" fee charged per MATCH or per SHOW?</p><p> </p><p>

For instance, If I have a manager getting paid per appearance, does he get paid every time he comes to ringside with a worker, or just 1 time for the show overall?</p>

What's the point of a steel cell if you can't go out of the ring and use it?

 

It's pin or submission only, so they can move about freely. It's really more of a gauntlet match (new workers come in whenever somebody gets eliminated) with four guys at once than a traditional over-the-top battle royal.

 

No, only 1 vs 1 matches count towards the HoI for major events.

 

Good. That's sensible.

 

1 more Q: I have loaded a new database and I cannot recall how to edit the Starting Avatars. I want to make them more realistic.

 

You can alter user characters just like any other worker in the editor. You can even search for them in particular via the filter.

What does the "prestige" stat of a match means?
