Blake Trask Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 <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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Casey Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 <p>Just book them as midcarders - have them put over main event/upper midcard talent, and unless they're massively more over than the guys they're facing, they won't complain.</p><p> </p><p> If signing guys like that, try and make sure they have a 'gatekeeper' or similar clause in their contract so they know they're there to put the future of the company over.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, give "bad" wins to them. For example, LET them win, but have the opposite be protected/kept strong/dominate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example, I'm playing with Pro Wrestling SAISHO and sent one of my promising Young Lions to WLW as part of a talent trade. They had him job to one of their declining main eventers on the opening match of a televised event (I don't have a TV deal) but that was enough to make him the most popular guy on my roster.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setalight Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Just started a new RW game and Asuka and Kane are 'unavailable'. I cannot auto push because they are not available but they are not showing on the medical page? why are they unavailable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should go back to the medical section and, to your right, next to the injuries column, you will see the ones absent for non injury reasons. In the case of Kane and Asuka it's for personal reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK_RaideR Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I've had workers refuse to do Average Injury/Content Risk matches because they were afraid they might be injured, but their Physical tab showed them all green and not carrying any injuries. Some had never even received an injury. I've also had liberal and extremely liberal workers refuse such matches. I'm trying to find their common ground and I'm thinking it's the fact they're also hesitant instead of bold. Any ideas? While I'm at it, is there any special thread here or a guide as to personality sliders and how they affect a worker's behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrypotterhead Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 hey can some one give me a quick rundown on the graph of company sizes ratio to the attendance? like International size usually put this in attendance? or cult sizes usually have this in attendance?

shawn michaels Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It's not bad for business if the candidate excels in the other figurehead qualifications. Ric Flair was WCW's figure head and did just fine and in TEW does just fine as well. Yes, there are exceptions, like if he fits all the other criteria, fine. He just gets that negative penalty, but if the other positives are true, and excelled, he should be fine. Should have been more clear. Thanks for the heads up.

Same reason why I don't expect them to take stunt/crazy bumps. My question came up because of young, liberal workers refusing. I'm certain it's not fatigue (I got refusals from debuting workers) but resilience might be a good guess. Not sure though, as I play with Scouting/FoW on. It's fun because it kinda imitates life where bookers might run into similar problems, but it can get annoying. I'll remember to look it up in the editor the next time it happens.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
