How much does a generic venue cost to run a show in? When I select, say, Weston Gymnasium, I get a nice little summary of how much it's going to cost me. I don't see the same when I select a generic venue. Am I just missing it?

Other then using an all out command in the booking screen how can you avoid being penalized for holding back?

[franticloser]

Holding back is a general penalty you will get on any non PPV shows (maybe higher prestige non PPV shows?) it simulates a worker not going all out for a throw away TV match, or some random spot show that doesn't mean anything in the long run. And the penalty isn't large you can still get matches into the high 90s with that penalty.

One more question, is there a way to edit a current injury in game? Zack Sabre JR just had a lower lumbar rupture and is out for over a year. Was just about to put him in a program with Nigel Mcguiness</p>

I'm a pain today but Austin Aries keeps getting annoyed for feeling isolated backstage. He has no negative relationships in the company. Every time I give him a bonus he's happy but gets annoyed again.

[Matt_Black]

Assuming there's no language barrier, why not just positive meddle some folks into being friends with him?

[southside_hitmen]

Yeah, isolated usually is when they are the only person who speak their language on the roster. Bring in another English speaker or maybe the mod you are using has the language on him set up a little off.

<p>Haven't found an answer to this anywhere so asking here.</p><p> </p><p>

Is there any way to add a title to a company in a save? One of the companies in my game doesn't have a main event title, and I can't edit the level of a midcard title of another company in the editor.</p>

Leave game when you're finished and go back to single player.</p>

Does anybody know what happens to scripted C-Verse graduates if you sell the Dojo before they appear?

[MightyDavidson]

Okay I recently ran a show featuring a luchador named El Ladron. He's rated strong in Comedy so I put him in a comedy match and the game claimed he had lousy comedy skills. Well if he's got such bad comedy skills, why does his profile say that he's strong at comedy? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

<p>technical question</p><p> </p><p>

First off just finished the journal for 2020 and am so pumped for it. Anyhow, I just got a new laptop and am pretty much the exact person those computers for dummies series were written for. Do I need to repurchase 2016 or is there a way for me to transfer it from my old computer to my new one? Thanks.</p>

<p>In my SMW 1994 dynasty, I have created an alliance that has 7 other companies in it. One of the alliance titles I am creating is a Junior Heavyweight Title. My problem is trying to decide who from each company to have wrestle for it. In some companies, I have several candidates that I think would qualify. The problem I'm running into is the cutoff size. In reality, weight would be used, but since size is used in the game, should I go all the way up to light heavyweight? If that's the case, Tracy Smothers from SMW would be eligible, and he just seems too big to compete for a Junior Heavyweight Title. </p><p> </p><p>

So I'm asking you guys, what should the minimum and max size be? I have very small, small, lightweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight to choose from. I'd like to get this figured out ASAP, thanks.</p>

<p>So, Ric Flair only wanted to work Events for me (WCW), then he went and signed with the WWF working regular shows. Now his contract is up and WWF doesn't want to renew. I tried approaching him and he still only wants to work Events for me?</p><p> </p><p>

Is there anything I'm missing? Tried giving him bonuses and Creative Control to no success.</p>

Another question, when it comes to talent trades, how long do I have to use the worker? For instance, if I do a talent trade in Week 2 of a month, can I wait until Week 4 to use them? Or does it have to be sooner?

[franticloser]

You have 90 days to use them for their contracted dates. After that the contract expires.
