What are the Importance percentages for Cult? is it into the 50's?

48% in two areas, if I'm not mistaken.

In my 1991 WCW dynasty, I'm trying to reform the Skyscrapers with Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey, but when I try to add the team, I get a Duplicate Data note that I already have a team with that name in the company that is set as in Inactive Unit. How in the world can I change this? If worse comes to worse, can I just rename the team and have it go through? I don't understand why I can't seem to add them as a team. Thanks.

I don't have the game in front of me so I can't tell you the exact steps. By default the tag team screen is filtered for active teams only. You can change the filter to show "inactive" or "all" teams. From there you should be able to see the tag team you are interested in and can change them to active.

You would use the Search button to show Inactive Units, then change them to be active.

If I go to an area where I don't have TV coverage and do a show, will it hurt my popularity in areas where I do have coverage? Right now I have Very Big coverage in USA and Canada. What if I did a show in England that was televised back home?

[James Casey]

Yes, it will. Get some local talent on short term deals to help pad out the show ratings.

<p>About the auto push in roster settings. I am not sure if this is the case but I'm struggling when i extend the company visibility to 4 regions. The worker pop goes up and down in this 4 regions but it doesn't affect the rest of United States for example... So when I auto push what should be a Main-Eventer given the roster it turns out a midcarder because he is uknown in the rest of US, even if I managed to give a reasonable pop to a worker where the company is actually seen.</p><p> </p><p>

Is that correct? Or does it take into account company importance in the industry in order to assign pushes?</p>

I'm at Regional, with a popularity of C- in my home region. All of my workers are capping out at 41 popularity, and have been for almost a year at least. I've never noticed this happening before. Anyone know why? I put on C+ to B shows, and they all raise my popularity.

<p>Tag Experience</p><p> </p><p>

Is tag experience based on minutes in the ring or no. of matches?</p><p> </p><p>

Is a 2 minute match worth the same as a 30m one?</p>

I do believe there is a cap/limit to your workers' popularity depending on your company's size.

Is tag experience based on minutes in the ring or no. of matches?

 

Is a 2 minute match worth the same as a 30m one?

Pretty sure it's number of matches, not time in the ring together.

If I import a yet to debut worker can I still set them to graduate from a dojo?

In the gimmick selection on the editor, it tells you the requirements for skills for your gimmick, when it says Medium, what exactly are the numbers for that?

<p>Can you get a guy over from Midcard to Main event just by having him in high rated promos.?</p><p> </p><p>

Like could I just build a guy in promos for 2 months to get him over without having him wrestle before his big match?</p>

<p>So I've played a year as SWF. I think my highest rated match is B+. I've had great matches where people are rated A or better for their performance. And yet the match is only B plus. I don't have anyone ranked at all high in the Power 500. </p><p> </p><p>

Are my settings around match intensity/danger and the other set-ups holding me back with a penalty?</p>

Is there a way to have a talent go away at an excursion?

[batsnumbereleven]

No - it's their choice, not the user's.

How do I get an older, main event wrestler to agree to drop down the card to say midcard? I signed a bunch a legends, over 50, and they still want to be main eventers, even the recommended push for them is main event. Do I just have to wait it out?

[Blake Trask]

<p>Assuming you haven't put in their contract 'never lower than main event' and they are signed as active full time wrestlers, then it's because their overness is higher than the majority of the rest of your roster and hence autopush treats them as main event. They expect to be in the main event because hey, they're the most popular guys on the roster, right?</p><p> </p><p>

You will need to reduce their overness--since they're older and probably in time decline, they will find it harder to retain and build popularity.</p><p> </p><p>

If you've signed them so they can be teachers/enhancers, then you could put them in a feud with one of your midcard or upper midcard dudes you want to come up into the main event (or just give a boost) and have the lower card guys go over them in the feud.</p>
