Does anyone have any idea why this keeps happening with this one company? I have 20+ child companies I have bought all airing on my network, yet every month or so WINNOW get dropped as they keep cancelling shows, no other company does that. I keep renewing the contract and it happens again. Very frustrating</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

The only reason the AI cancels shows is if they don't have the required amount of workers available. Maybe you overlooked something and they don't have a ref/agent/etc?

They're a child company so should hire who they need. They're cult in Japan yet have 9 workers hired, I'll just hire some women to go to that company.</p><p> </p><p> Seems so obvious now lol cheers</p>

[lavelleuk]

Just to add to this looks like due to my global network owning 6 all women's companies that they are all sharing a lot of the same women on different nights and in my game there is only 2 unemployed female wrestlers....guess I am the cause of the WINNOW downfall due to there just not being enough people to hire.

<p>Is the saturation point for PPVs set at exactly 1 per month?</p><p> </p><p>

Or can I run slightly more than 1 per month without experiencing a dip in viewership (or run slightly less to gain viewers)?</p>

For example, Nakamura pretty much carried on the same gimmick from NJPW to WWE. New Japan's presentation primarily focused on his in-ring skills and the gimmick was a good bonus on the side whereas the WWE product is more gimmick-heavy;the shows might benefit in different ways (match/show grades) but the person reaps the benefit of a good gimmick (personal pop gains) regardless.</p><p> </p><p> I can also think of it the other way around: a generic bland babyface is boring no matter what, but he'll suffer more in a mainstream and angle heavy promotion and less in one focused on workrate.</p>

<p>user chareceter status?</p><p> </p><p>

I am trying to do a modified RTG challenge. I selected my user charecter as an owner, and started with a 0/0/0/1000 fed. I tried to put myself into a tag team but my name is unavailable. I saw that I am set as a non-wrestler. I used the ingame editor to set him to wrestler, and set status to active, saved, and advanced a day. My guy is still listed as status-non wrestler even though i will go check in the editor and says active there. What am I doing wrong? Is there anyway to fix this and set my status as active wrestler without having to restart the save??</p>

[thilonash76]

thanks dude! wicked quick response and it worked. I would have NEVER looked there. I didnt even know the user had a contract in the editor because they dont have a practical ingame contract.

To the best of my knowledge, this is an issue with the manager being more over than their client - older fans may remember Sunny outshining the Body Donnas, or more recently Lana with Rusev.

 

I may be wrong, however, and that may be a different note.

so, since they have working chemistry I should have them stick together and hope the active wrestler eventually gets as popular as the manager?

It's always good to have a manager that is over enough, as it will be easier for him to put the worker over. Put them in angles together, try and feed off of the manager's pop.</p>

Do people change from freelancer to normal contract people? Or do I have to change it manually?

<p>I am currently running a regional level company in Japan with a real world mod and have several workers under PPA deals that I share with New Japan. I am currently in one of their off-months, but their workers still show up on my schedule as being unavailable due to their commitment to New Japan. Is this a glitch or something? </p><p> </p><p>

I keep pushing back my scheduled shows to try and find a date when they are available for me, but I've gone through the entire month almost and every time it says that everyone is available to work, I get to that day and it changes to say that they are all working for New Japan instead.</p>

[Abgas]

Do I still have to pay for transport and hotel even if I don't book a written worker at a show?

Star Power. You don't want a manager with 80 star power helping a wrestler with 30 star power. It doesn't work well, that's where you get the "outshining" thing from.

 

Thank you.

 

 

Do workers ever lose chemistry? I have a pair of main eventers that had chemistry, or I thought they did. They don't now.

[Killagy]

<p>Is there any way possible to force an AI-controlled company to sign a wrestler? In my current game I released a wrestler due to his high contract demands. I honestly hoped a company, preferably one that was bigger than me such as WWE to sign him but that hasn't happened yet for months now. I noticed my Industry and Economy were fairly low (around 40s), could that be the issue?</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT</p><p> </p><p>

Answered my own question, apparently WWE wouldn't sign him due to their hiring rules</p>

[italianblood32]

why when import a company doesn't appear in active companies?
