[Dr_Avalanche]

In road agent reports, I'm getting "Wrestler X is looking very stale". Not the gimmick, the wrestler. What does this mean? Her performance isn't bad at all, often outshining her opponents. What do you do about it?

[Gungner]

Well, in 16, it tells you specifically if you don't meet the production values. And he says that he does. But every broadcaster has a minimum grade that they want you to achive. If you don't, you'll be warned.

Greetings everybody,what's happening with veteran older wrestlers in your saves?? The reason I ask is WWE have Triple H, 85 pop occasional wrestler, and they have just released The Undertaker, who was 85 pop as well.. Neither of them have wrestled for over a year, since the game started actually, I just figured the AI should use them to job to up and coming guys..

Tried that, but can't get a deal with anyone thats not owned by Sinclair.

Child Companies?

 

Is there any way to dissolve or rename child companies? I've bought 2 now and I'd like to rename one and close the other.

[dalenichol]

In some promotions, you need to run them, depending on the product, they also increase momentum, if both workers come out of it fairly good or above when it is ended.. The art to it is to try and get both workers coming out of the storyline as well as possible..

 

In the game it mentions that the 'fairly good' etc rating is purely for our information and has no actual bearing on the workers themselves. Which I find pretty odd

<p>Making more money</p><p>

As I look at the finance report, I see there is development, alliance and media. They've been 0's for me throughout the game so far. So I was wondering how do you make money from there? </p><p>

Thanks.</p>

what are the requirements to be a mentor or protégé?

[dalenichol]

Looking at regional importance, the regions Economy and Wrestling Industry.

 

Mine are currently falling and have been for months. Surely it's not static in the sense that I have to wait for them to crash before rising again? Will they possibly stop before hitting F-?

Yes, they will, assuming you haven't changed 'strict boom and bust' to be on in the options.

Historically in TEW the ai almost never or never used occasional wrestlers

Excellent, thanks friend!

A few nice new features are all well and good, but when will we get the AI overhaul it seems to need.. Or has he taken the series as far as it can go..</p>

I was wondering how everybody would book a pre - recorded hype video segment, in my understanding, on screen in TEW terms means used in front of a live audience, I should be able to use video packages, but can I rate workers on Entertainment, basically anything that requires the script boxes to be ticked, and off screen at the same time, as they are on video, and not live, it shouldn't count as an appearance on a PPA deal should it?? What about Menace, Acting etc, can they be used to rate in an off screen segment as well??

<p>When a match goes to a judges decision finish (which I love doing because I think it would be cool for a pro wrestling company to do), what exactly is a 'split decision' verdict?</p><p> </p><p>

I thought it was for a tie decision but the game sees it as not. Am I mistaken in thinking this?: </p><p>

Unanimous decision = all judges see Worker X as winner</p><p>

Majority decision = 3 out of 4 judges see Worker X as winner</p><p>

Split Decision = 2 out of 4 judges see Worker X as winner</p>

[Newman]

How can I book a two out of three falls match to be two falls to one win, and not two straight falls.. Every time the commentary says two straight falls, even if I use open match.. Any ideas..
