Is starting your own company a viable option in this game? Did a lot of people try this out?

Will workers be dissuaded from relocating to a region if the company they work for organizes/pays for transportation/hotel?

[Bigpapa42]

Have a question regarding loyalty and company takeovers. I am running Burning Hammer. The Japanese tsunami will kill the economy in a few months, which generally kills a few Japanese companies. I have a target a few talented Japanese wrestlers who I can't sign on permanent deals as they are loyal to their current company. Now if the economy kills that company and they become free agents, that loyalty is gone - can't be loyal to a company that no longer exists. But what I buy the company out and keep it as a child promotion.... Will that loyalty remain in effect and block me from ever securing those wrestlers? Anyone messed around with that?

I'm not sure if making a company your child company will remove loyalties but I know child companies can have loyalties so I don't see why it would erase them in which case I doubt you'd ever be able to sign them to writtens.

[LlamaSquad]

If I were in your situation, I'd use the editor. It's like a BHOTWG wrestler in '13 being loyal to the Hinote Dojo and refusing to be called up.

If they are not <em>directly</em> employed by you and sent there by the parent company, releasing them doesn't stop you from immediately negotiating with them.</p>

I am running NJPW and have been successful for a long while. Recently, my Marketing and Misc. costs have skyrocketed with nothing to offset them. The two changes I've implemented over the last month are going from Cult to National, and getting Primetime slots for my TV Show. Can anyone explain why this shot up so high without any increase in revenue to offset it? </p><p> </p><p>

I already started a company in the Tri-State area. I'm just running a mix between a WWE Sports Entertainment product and a NJPW one. Match intensity and danger are around 50-60%. I will run a male only company with 4 belts: main event, mid-card, lower level, and tag team. If I expand in the future, I might consider introducing a cruiserweight/LHW belt but with no division so I can be flexible with my workers. To date, I've eclipsed the 26 worker limit and have put roughly more than 10 workers in developmental as well. </p><p> </p><p> I followed Llama's suggestion and signed a lot of his guys. Was initially looking to build the company around Marc Dubois but he is a negative influence overall and has bad habits so I might just let him be champ for a while. For my main eventers I have Dubois, Fox Mask, Masked Cougar, the Brawler guy whose name has a lot of B's (apologies for forgetting his name), Frankie Perez, and Bryan Holmes. Young up and coming guys I have are Greg Gauge (might make him my top heel soon), Kirk Jameson, Ernest Youngman, Findlay Farraday (sp?) and others I forgot. I'm trying to get Mitico to win my tertiary title but I fear he won't be accepted since his recommended push was as ET but I switched him up to Midcarder. Any suggestions?</p>

If Im playing NJPW for example in 1985 and want to branch out into Europe, and USA/Canada.. whats the best way to do this to get ourselves bigger?

 

Buy out a company that has enough pop for a tv deal...

Run spot show/house shows until you’re popular enough to get on tv there.

[kemicode]

I agree with Llama. If you're new to running your own company, definitely start on easy. It gives you the most money and the most popularity. The other benefit to easy as a cult company is you can sign written deals. So you can sign up guys like Greg Gauge (yes), Ernest Youngman (yes), El Mitico Jr. (Yes).

 

I second signing Ross Henry when he debuts. I also like to sign Syd Collider and Cameron Jones, Dean Waldorf and Marv Statler -- as those are great teams. Also, depending on your style, California Love Machine and Frankie Boy Fernandes are a great young babyface tag team. Marvel Mallory and Storm Spillane are another great duo, and both guys can work singles.

 

 

** All of these guys are US/North America guys which is the region I'm most familiar with.

 

Thanks a lot for this. I added everyone you said. Apparently, Dubois isn't a great add since in my first PPV, he wrestled while high on drugs and broke Fox Mask's neck. Bummer.

Ouch. That sucks. How long is he out for? Dubois is a tough one. He has talent and potential but that drug problem has left him a shell of the man he once was. Like a young Jack Griffith.

[a0161613]

I got Dubois in a SOTBPW game where he reacted positively to being sent to rehab on day one. Six months later and he's been a perfect example and a fine mid card addition.

 

Remmy Skye was less happy.

When rating a worker in an angle based on "entertainment," does this factor in all on-camera qualities (ie: menace, sex appeal, SQ, etc.)? The only think I know for sure is it combines Microphone/Charisma/Acting.
