I know what triggers it when the two workers are in a storyline (ie. I am not getting the storyline enough heat). However, i get a match penalty in the dirt sheet that reads "the segment was penalized due to a lack of an associated storyline" and the workers involved in the match are not in a storyline. I notice it happens a lot in the main event when the workers aren't involved in a storyline together. Last night I got it in a midcard match playing the Golden Era mod. Steamboat and Bob Orton wrestled. Steamboat is in a storyline with Savage and Orton is not in a storyline. Savage was not involved in the match or segment. When looking at the results Steamboat got a 94 match rating and Orton I believe an 81. The match only scored a 72 so I checked the dirtsheet to see where the penalties occurred and the match got the "the segment was penalized due to a lack of an associated storyline"<p> After running another card I realized I was using the wrong word: It is lack of "associated storyline", not "hot storyline"</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> If you are running an entertainment or traditional focus then you in each main event you must progress a storyline.

But on an event or TV show book Wrestle A to or face Wrestling B, with no interference, distraction, guest ref or commentator, then you will incur the lack of associated story line penalty. To get around this I use the distraction note that doesn't affect the outcome of the match. Just imagine it's wrestle B coming to ringside to watch or something.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miz468 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Can you script a double pin? Like if I want two guys in a four-way to pin the other two guys or the same guy at the same time, can I do that?

In real life, WWE usually goes dark on breaks unless there's a match in progress. My problem is that my throwaway angles are doing better than they should lol. I'll keep experimenting.

I guess the most fool proof way of crowd control is doing a match aimed at being comedy with two comedy workers. Calm the crowd note works as well. These are short 5 minute max matches. TEW technically does have commercial breaks. It's just you're booking for the live crowd. You can envision your breaks going where ever you want, but if you're broadcasting live on a commercial network there are breaks in there.

That's what I figured for the main event. Do you know what triggers it during middle of the card matches. The Orton/Steamboat match for example was the 3rd of 6 matches on my A show.

I think it's because one or more of the workers in the match is and upper midcarder or main eventer. I had a match in 2004 with Sean Waltman (very solid stats) vs Christopher Daniels (really great stats) and they both scored in the low to mid 90's but the match got that story line note and scored 76. I think they were both upper mid carders at the time.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 The penalty for a lack of hot storyline comes into play only at the top end of ratings. It starts from around the B/82 mark and any match that rates higher than that (at that point in the calculation) suffers a penalty of around 80% of the difference between the 82 and match rating. Other factors then come into play after that to lower or raise the rating again, but that's why it's hard to have a match of the year level match without the workers being involved in some kind of storyline. It's also why you generally only see this penalty in the larger companies, as lower level companies are unlikely to reach that kind of grade. Hope that helps.

lavelleuk Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 <p>Not sure this is the right place to ask, but is it normal the have my weekly TV show viewer ship ratings be exactly the same, or better, then my event viewership ratings?</p><p> </p><p> What I mean by that is I have my own broadcaster and my TV shows as well as my events are shown at prime time. My viewership is always around 46.10-46.60. This goes for TV and events, there is no bump for the an event that has prestige.</p><p> </p><p> Not sure if that is worded correctly but quick example, I just ran two historic events, the tv ratings for the TV shows before were 46.21 and 46.43, my first historic event then got a rating of 46.21 and then the historic event the night after got 46.42, the next two tv ratings after that were 46.34 and 46.42.</p><p> </p><p> So a historic event actually got beaten by just a normal weekly tv show 3 out of 4 times, and got the same rating as the other tv show. Oh, and both events did a better show score then the tv shows. </p><p> </p><p> Hope that makes sense lol and hope this is the right place to post.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
