You'd be surprised at all of the promotions that have run historically that you don't know about. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I want to say it was a discussion with you or Alvarasus about another All South promotion that was running. It could have even had something to do with trying to figure out what to do with the mess that was the situation with Georgia in accordance to Jim Crockett Promotions.

Not watched any 1995 yet? :p

Thank you, Kijar. Yep, I'm working on getting Risky Business updated from the public beta phase. I may or may not recruit someone to make a hype video. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Enjoying the 85 mod quite a bit, but I have a couple of questions. Why is there such a huge difference between the ratings of JCP and WWF? Is it because of the Cult status of WWF and/or the fact that the Syndications are set to be Free-to-Air vs TBS is commercial? Granted it is one show, but I got 0.81 with TBS while WWF got a whopping 7.56. They do have a deal in Canada too on CHCH which is a Commercial network which will add viewers, but that is a massive gulf when one is set to air in the afternoon and the other is evening.

 

Oh, and what is up with Terry Funk? He wouldn't re-sign with me in 2013 either, but he's fine working for the other regional companies. Not a huge deal, but it is weird. I would add that there probably should be a retirement setting for Dusty. I know it is random each time, but you shouldn't get a 3-4 years on decline Dusty in 85. Ole was a 7 year on the Time Decline list too, but he's a douche who better enjoy being a Road Agent though it does hurt trying to recreate the 4 Horsemen.

 

I was wondering about using the Figurehead mechanic since it would obviously be Flair, but I keep finding people to pair with Tully to do a 4 Horsemen without him keeping him face. In 13, it was Tully, Arn (always pick him), Savage, and Eadie. In this one, I'm doing Tully, Arn, Jake Roberts, and Curt. Basically just Tully and Arn and two great heels who have excellent tag chemistry.

And I thought Dusty was still wrestling into the early 90's though on a semi-active basis? His god-awful run in WWF was 100% Vince's fault as he hated every NWA star other than Flair and booked them horribly. Again, I don't care about douchebag Ole though that starting Written contract being 2 years is a mild annoyance, especially since they can sue for terminating their contract now.</p><p> </p><p> The Figurehead thing could be debated forever. Flair was the clear figurehead of JCP and early WCW whether he was a face or heel. Honestly, the game should allow a Flair exception to allowing a heel figurehead, but short that, your only other choice at the start of the game is Dusty, who I would have picked had he not been on time decline. I'd love for it to be Ricky, but with it based so much on charisma and star quality, he's way behind Flair and Dusty (and Terry's SQ). If you can hold off for 6 months, you can easily plug Magnum in there (I won't bother debating why he's got a +5 in SQ over Savage as those should be left up to the mod maker), though his psych is really low (73 in an equal fed) to for my taste. So, if you don't want to go with Dusty and keep with the turning Flair heel again, honestly, your best bet is to sign Savage and build him up.</p><p> </p><p> And my previous post had originally included a complaint about how the drop in pop gained per show kept you from reaching Cult in the first month. Then, I wrote the numbers out, and figured out that if you split the 4 TV shows between MA and SE and run 6 of the 8 "House" shows in the SE and at least one of the other two in MA, you'll hit Cult before you run your first monthly show. However, you can't get on PPV because you have to hit 60 pop in 4 regions. That's a little high imho. That means you can't run PPV's forever with JCP as the 3rd and 4th regions are 40 (MS) and 30 (Tri-State). So unless you're going to run there hard with the House shows (TV gives you 0.4 if not held there and 0.5 if held there so there's no point in running them there), you're looking at 50 TV shows for MS and another 25 for TS. Obviously, you'll run some of the House shows there, but they do only give you 0.5/show (God, I miss those 0.9 gains for great shows vs your pop). I'd suggest 4 regions at 45 is sufficient. You'll be Cult before you hit that anyway.</p><p> </p><p> Oh, and just noticed that AWA doesn't start with a TV show. Is that supposed to be accurate, or is that a left-over issue with not having taped deals available? Oof, just glanced at the TV requirements, that could explain it, but really, if they don't have TV, they're doomed.</p>

<p>AWA not having TV was an oversight. IIRC, I think I was deleting some TV shows until I figured out the TV side of things with this new version of TEW, and forgot to add it back in.</p><p> </p><p>

I'll take a look at broadcast requirements. I was trying to prevent wacky deals all over the place, but I might have been a bit overzealous. </p><p> </p><p>

As for Magnum's psychology, I was trying to give him room to grow into it as he was still in his 20s. Is it taking longer for him to learn that skill? I might go ahead and adjust that. Maybe 77 or 78?</p>

I honestly wouldn't bump Magnum up in Psychology. I agree with your assessment that he's still young with time to grow and seeing as it's only 1985, he was just starting to heat up in popularity and come into his own in the grand scheme of things. I think 73 with the ability to grow is perfect for him at this time. Too many people want to over power stats based on what people become rather than looking at them during the time period you're creating.
