kemicode Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 If someone asks to be recalled from developmental, is that a good signal that they are ready? I see some wrestlers who still have abilities which can be dramatically improve ask to be promoted to the main roster. What do you guys do in this situation?

Tom Bombadil Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Is there a good resource somewhere for relationships and personalities?

Munit Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 For real world modern day mods is there any tips to getting A matches/Shows? I know in the 80/90s mods its a hell of a lot easier. But when I book WWE or NJPW or even ROH for example im having problems, yet I see people on this forum booking NJPW to the top and getting companies like ROH to get A matches. Any help?

You can still run storylines successfully with strict storylines turned off though, it just means you don’t have to keep a minimum number of them.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaunGBD Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I run a lot of 5 vs 5. 5 guys I'm pushing vs 5 joggers and have the 5 I'm pushing add the dominant note to all 5. Do they all 5 gain pop if I do it this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieRock Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 <p>How 'strict' is 'strict storylines'? </p><p> I usually run about 6-7 and most are B+ to A*.

LlamaSquad Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Strict Storylines stipulates that you must have, IIRC, 3 storylines of C or thereabouts heat. It doesn’t affect your actual booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpapa42 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Some sort of angle order? I'm thinking something like how linked stories required certain angle types at each point to advance the story chain on older TEW versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Strict Storylines stipulates that you must have, IIRC, 3 storylines of C or thereabouts heat. It doesn’t affect your actual booking. It scales to promotion size, but this is correct. It’s just maintaining a number of hot storylines Doesn’t matter how you get them to the required heat levels or how long they’ve been running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
