Could it be from having a comedy wrestler in a match too long?

<p>I'll give a booking example </p><p> </p><p>

Samoa Joe vs Bryan Danielson</p><p> </p><p>

Main Event</p><p>

Auto book time is 20 minutes</p><p>

Road agent notes:</p><p>

Winner: Bryan</p><p>

Result: by submission </p><p>

Match type 1 vs 1</p><p>

Now regardless if I book regular, technical masterclass, all out, steal the show etc there are times where it would come up "penalized for booking decisions"</p><p> </p><p>

I don't mess with the intensity and danger sliders that fits the product either</p>

I get your frustration with that penalty though.</p>

I just got to the point where I can offer a stupid contract, but I can't offer more than 125K a month. Is that a hard cap, or am I missing something? (I'm assuming it's a hard cap, but I'm in new territory here, so I have no idea)

Has anyone used a toxic worker? I'm at cult, doing well and Shawn Michaels just got fired after a sting exposed his lust for prostitutes. I could really benefit from him being my main heel and he'd probably sign with me because of the buzz around him, should I? What portion of ticket sales and sponsorship will I lose?

<p>So I am a little confused. </p><p> </p><p>

5 years into an SWF save and I am doing an A show at my own arena in the South East and all my interview segments get huge negatives for language barrier. </p><p> </p><p>

Did the primary language in this area change? Did I set that venue up wrong and somehow have never used it before even though I've had it for years? Is it a bug? </p><p> </p><p>

I've been to Mexico a bunch of times and never seen that message once.</p>

When setting up your own venue there is a section for languages... you probably forgot to set any there, and as a result no-on in the venue understands any of the languages. I think that can be fixed in the editor, but if not you should refund yourself the cash and make another venue with languages set. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

<p>WCW question here. I'd like to run WCW of the mid 90's with some WWF gimmicks. What should I do to make this "plausible?"</p><p> </p><p>

For example, I'd like to turn Dustin Rhodes into Goldust but Goldust is an edgy character and in the mod I'm playing WCW has Cult at Very Low.</p><p> </p><p>

Yes, I realize it's my game and I can do what I want but I'm hoping to stay fairly true to the circumstances of the time. Is it remotely reasonable that the WCW of 1994-1995 could have been persuaded to raise Cult to, say, Medium? And beyond hiring Vince Russo to reflect his influence on my Creative Team, are there other choices that make sense?</p>

I often get opinions about other wrestlers from my Veteran wrestlers. I am wondering if their insight is valuable, or if it's really just showcasing the Veteran's likes and dislikes based on personality? Does their feedback hold any water?

Goldust could be a "gimmick" type, or "weirdo", just make sure it's not rated too edgy. Maybe you can raise the difficulty to balance it out in your mind.</p>

Has it ever been determined what determines whether a worker will agree to a weight change?

[BiffJordan]

Going way back here. Does anyone remember the program somebody developed for EWR years ago that simulated tournament brackets? If you know what I'm talking about, do you know where I can find it? Also I can't remember if it did round robin G-1 Style but I'd really like to find a simulator better than the online sites, a little more TEW friendly.

How often do you guys have your titles change hands? I struggle to get past 3 months. If I do it longer than that, the prestige drops.
