I'm playing as ecw in 97. I have a tv show and a ppv in the same night. If I put a worker in the Tv show and the ppv am I going to be charged twice or since it's the same night only once? Thanks

[Gungner]

Yes, it's still two different appearances.

Having him appear more than once on one show, will only charge you once.

Having him appear once on two different shows (even if it's the same night) will cost you twice.

[chinoflynn]

Thanks. I figured as much but wanted to confirm. Again thanks.

<p>Assign Referee?</p><p> </p><p>

Not sure why I cant figure this out but...</p><p> </p><p>

...in TEW2010 I used to assign a Ref to a match the same way I would an announcer, a worker, etc.</p><p> </p><p>

I play 2016 now and just don't see the "referee" option in the match particulars. Usually I wouldnt care, but i just changed someone's role to Referee and I want to make sure I get him in a few B-card matches per week...</p>

On the right hand side of the booking screen, above the booking notes, are your options for referees and road agents.

New Player Question: Can you fire a worker?

<p>New Player Question: Can you fire a worker?</p><p> </p><p>

Been playing for a couple days. Found out that my third-string color commentator is a jackhole in the locker room. Only button I found was "Send Away" but apparently since I do not own any other companies that option is not available. </p><p> </p><p>

PPA contract. You'd think I'd just not have to have him show up (like, in rl). But apparently he wanders into my locker room even though at the third string level he doesn't even make an appearance in the show. </p><p> </p><p>

<p>? What is the difference between "Manager" and "Personality"? </p><p> </p><p>

This does not seem obvious. </p><p> </p><p>

In-game I can assign either to a worker as a "manager" and even characters hired for the description of "now works as a manager" but they will say they rather have Personality. Sometimes even Road Agents say this. Can a Road Agent be a manager?</p>

It doesn't really matter which of the non-wrestler pushes someone has as long as they are being used. The AI can't be smart enough to use all of the roles interchangeably but as a human player you can use people however you want... as long as you are using them, they will generally be happy. The difference between manager, authority figure and personality is extremely minor.

[Derek B]

Workers that are Personalities didn't use to complain about being left off shows at all, was this removed? If not, it does make quite a difference.

 

Everyone would eventually complain regardless of push, though obviously lower pushes (and various contract settings) and individual worker personalities would alter those limits. I think the levels were tweaked somewhat for TEW16, but the out of ring roles still don't complain very often if they aren't used. They know they're not the focus of the show, so don't expect to be used as often.
