[smmccallum]

is there a certain amount of money a company has to be in debt before theyre willing to sell? does it depend on the owner or other factors? PGHW is just over 2 million in debt, their still the number one company in Japan but continuously losing money.

[Matt_Black]

<p>From what I understand, owner personality is a big factor, as is company prestige and how long the company has been around.</p><p> </p><p>

Some owners would rather their companies die a slow, painful death than see them get bought by a rival.</p>

For non-wrestlers, talent plays something of an effect too, but it's pretty much the same requirements. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> With all due respect, I don't believe that is correct.

For example, a lower pop entertainer in WWE would likely get a bigger push than, let's say, a more over cruiserweight. What are your product settings and what are the styles of the wrestlers involved?</p>

<p>With Season Finales, is there anything to stop you moving the designation immediately after running a show that's been designated that?</p><p> </p><p>

The mod I'm playing has the Great American Bash (July) set as the SF, whereas in my mind it's Starrcade (December). I only noticed that after booking it. Will I suffer any penalty for running a second SF five months after the first?</p>

I looked into importing a bit, so I don't think it's possible, but I want to make sure: Is there any way to import a tribute show or a narrative? Or is the only way to have a custom event during a game by editing one that already exists?

[Captain Kayfabe]

<p>I just started a new game with a company with the pre-set Sports Entertainment product. I have set up a brand to run shows in Mexico, with a Luch Libre focus. However, in every match I run, I get messages that "a section of the crowd expects more physically intensive matches" and " a section of the crowd expects more dangerous spots" (going off memory... think those are correct).</p><p> </p><p>

I'm guessing that I need to adjust my product, but will those changes negatively affect the crowds at my main brand?</p>
