In the editor how do I again get an unemployed wrestler signed with a company? Always struggling with how to do this...

[Bigpapa42]

<p>Slightly weird question, but its something I've never experimented with. Starting up a Burning Hammer save. My standard approach with a company with size and money is to open up one or two developmental/child companies at the smallest possible size. Touring schedule and same product as the main company. Stock with 18-20 prospects. Watch the talent develop and the company grow. Good fun. </p><p> </p><p>

But with Burning Hammer.... I'm a bit leery because of how "heavy" the default product is. Puro, as a rule, means a lot of physical wear. Realistic. I could avoid a touring schedule for these companies, but I find that helps with skill development, company growth, and tag team development. So altering the product to be a bit less demanding is something I'm considering. I could even go toward a more western product. But a concern I have is whether the product will alter how the workers develop. Obviously with a puro product, I would like to see the Puroresu skill and Technical skills improve. Would a non-Puro product impact that? Anyone experimented with it?</p>

<p>I was just wondering if any of you had a guess or a rough estimate of how many wrestlers I should have on my roster, if I were to do a brand split? </p><p> </p><p>

It's a national promotion. The recommended number of wrestlers is 32, I have 57.</p>

I'm new to the C-Verse. Is there any website with the "in universe" (cannon) history for the promotions? Like major storylines, traditional matches, etc? Besides the in-game bios for the wrestlers I mean.

I cancelled the Pop Network! TV deal with TCW on day one and started a deal with USA Sports 1. I wasn't able to start Saturday Night Showcase because I imagine Total Wrestling counts as a "debuting TV show". Nevertheless, that was literally day 1 of the game so January, Monday Week 1, 2016. It's now April, Tuesday Week 2, 2016. Shouldn't the 3 whole months be done by now, because I'm still getting the block from starting it? Am I missing something obvious?

Maybe the full three months starts from the first full month afterward? So because the change over took place in January - no matter when in January - the first of the three full months is February. Which means beginning of May is when you can get a new one? Only way it makes sense to me....?

It might be, I'll check again May I suppose.

Does anyone have a true backyard wrestling product? It doesn’t need to be gamey, looking for a product that would accurately reflect like 4 guys with no training trying to do moves in a ring with no one watching. Thank you!

[Bigpapa42]

So I opened up two developmental promotions at the smallest possible size, based on a touring schedule. I typically open the up as child companies, so they are "independent" to hire additional staff. But I get annoyed when they hire fair poor workers with a bit overness, who then auto-push to be their top talent. Not a huge issue, but I was looking to avoid it by setting them as Developmental Territories. So they can't hire anyone additional. But I'm not sure how big the roster should be. I can go into the editor and set a company to be about the same size and see what it suggests, but is I'm not if there is an easier way to know if the developmental territory has an undersized roster...?

I keep getting the warning after all my matches that the crowd wasn’t happy because the matches weren’t intense enough and the dirt sheet says the matches were penalized as well. What setting do I need to adjust to get rid of that?

[Bigpapa42]

<p>So a rather odd, specific question that I will be able to check myself before too long. But since I can't check yet, I thought I would ask. Started a save with Burning Hammer of the Wrestling Gods and switched it back to a touring schedule. First tour is in February. Tour shows are not broadcast, but I wonder if there is the option to pick a broadcaster? If you set up a weekly event for a non-touring promotion (roughly simulating a house show), the game treats it as a PPV-like event and you get the choice of broadcasters. But I have a feeling a touring promotion makes those events a bit different....?</p><p> </p><p>

I was toying with opening up a broadcaster for Burning Hammer, giving them coverage in some regions outside of Japan. If its possible to broadcast tour events on that, it would help growth in regions like the US but have a feeling its not an option. Anyone?</p>

why does aldous blackfriar have alter ego's called Mattew DeVille for SWF,USPW and TCW when he has never used that name or been in those companies apart from TCW where he worked as Blackfire.

Something I've never used before is a company owned mask. How do they work? Am I amble to create one and then swap it around workers? I couldn't see an option to swap it to another worker, so thought I'd check here.

The benefits of a company owned mask over a worker owned one is that you will find it far easier to take the mask off a worker. It can't be passed around or anything, it's just a mask on a worker. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
