Gungner Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I keep getting emails about NXT's deal with Sky Sports 3 is expiring, but am I wrong in assuming that you can't renew your child company's TV Deals unless they are on your own network?

Bobbi Starr Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 How do I use a pre main event video featuring the wrestlers in the main event without the video tanking the storyline rating and thus affecting the match? I can't seem to do it right at all. For example: I just ran Flair vs. Steamboat (storyline at 97 pre show). The video (1 minute) scored a 79, the main event scored a 97, but was penalized due to the storyline's low heat. Post show the storyline is at 93...

Your angle rating is being capped for a short length. At 6 minutes it stops capping the rating, so you would need need it to be a >=6 min video to keep the rating up. You probably could get away with a 4 or 5 minute as well, but 6+ is safer. Think of those epic WWE/NJPW PPV video lead ins to big matches, they run longer than you think and probably end up in that 4-6 minute range.

Bobbi Starr Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Thanks! I'll try that. I've kept them short, so that they don't get the crowd to excited, but I guess that was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogshere Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 How much does running an event on a given night of the week impact attendance/viewership? I have a promotion with people on PPA, and I could avoid conflicts by running shows on Wednesdays, but I'm not sure how large of an impact that will have on income/ratings.

Gungner Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 If I run an angle on my TV-show (a hype video for a worker debuting soon), but I set it as a minor angle (meaning it won't show up in recap and have no impact on the shows rating), will the worker still be recognized as being on the show? I'm asking 'cause I have a worker debuting (called up from development), but he's a heel and I want to debut him as a face and I don't want to use a shock turn on him. So if I do the minor angle thing, will that still count as one appearance for the worker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonofjustice Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Do workers have a popularity cap in Cult Promotions? The most popularity a worker got for me was 97 in a single region and, like all my other workers, it quickly stabilized in 90-92 popularity levels. Also, is it easier to gain popularity as a National company, regardless of TV contracts? I want to make the jump to National, but I haven't done so because I would be beaten by 500 points by SWF, because they have stars with 100 pop in every region. I have 100 rated segments every show and my main events are always in the 90-100 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
