Jerry tends just to raise comedy and turns down risqué and it’s very similar to USPW’s in-game product. A pure entertainment company would be awesome but it would be harder to convey in TEW as an AI company</p>

So, who, if anyone, do you hire as developmental trainers for RIPW?

Singh does act to be moved up which can get annoying but whatever I'm going to deal with his low morale. I also have given short deals to guys like Bob Casey, Thomas Morgan, and Paul Steadyfast because I like them.</p>

<p>So I'm always a world title goes on last kinda guy ok, just a traditionalist I guess. </p><p> </p><p>

But I've got a situation where I want to put champ Spencer Spade over a fading Jack Bruce (it's late 2020), the match likely won't be up to much and I may even do a cheap finish to stretch the feud out. </p><p> </p><p>

Then I've got Bret Starr and Wolf Hawkins ready to continue a red hot feud with a rematch from Supreme Challenge 40. It's a guaranteed A match, and could touch A*. It's not the rubber and no stipulation currently booked. </p><p> </p><p>

Can I bring myself to take the hit on the show rating and put the title fight on last?</p>

Hey, was Bret Hart vs British Bulldog at Wembley Stadium for the World title? Was AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels vs Samoa Joe at Unbreakable for the World title? No, sir!

The World title match for Unbreakable was Raven vs. Rhino though, with all due respect to them it's not equivalent to what Spade vs. Bruce would be. I can't say I know too much about wrestling at that time but I assume that in any other country Savage/Warrior would have gone on last. This is the future of the SWF versus the man who has been it's figurehead for a long time for the companies biggest belt, it has to go on last whenever it happens.

Should avoid any penalties that way.</p>

[Skywalker1976]

Any idea what the 4th title in SWF could be?

 

Also any ideas on a good authority figure?

I've had a nice mid-card TV title since the end of my first year. The graphic for that is in the game.

 

Emma Chase is good if you can bear to lose her from commentary. Christian Faith is good as a face.

[Matt_Black]

SWF, aside from their retired titles, has a ton of title renders ready to go.

 

Jessie usually autopushes as an authority figure.

[Guest]

Ana Garcia is also a really underrated choice

[Poet Justice]

Why not the Guru? No more negative relationships with Peter gone and he’s a fantastic heel mic worker with a built in history as one of the top bad guy managers?

[Guest]

Maybe his head booker position in CZCW since it prevents him from signing exclusively.

Thanks everyone!

[Poet Justice]

<p>How do you guys best create the SWF equivalent to NXT? For me, I see RIPW more as the performance center than NXT; plus you can’t really book RIPW. It’s usually the Uprising brand I use, as it’s a “developmental-ish” name and there are tons of graphics based around the brand already. </p><p> </p><p>

I think one thing that makes booking a developmental/tv property hybrid like NXT in 2016 is the really bad ratings. </p><p> </p><p>

Anyways, I’m trying to build it up with mostly waves of SWF trained talent, much like the first wave of NXT. As we chug along, I want to bring in more Indy stars, especially major Japanese stars given several top guys tend to drift after 2-3 major companies inevitably close after the earthquake. Maybe even develop Uprising UK.</p>

[Sons of Kohral]

<p>How do you guys build new stars. I want to push guys like Dillon, Parker and my new call ups, but they start so low in pop. </p><p> </p><p>

Do you guys give them wins up the card with the "keep opponent strong" gimmick?</p>

Have him rated on overness or entertainment and have the young guys not rated. They will effectively learn by being with him. It'll rate highly thanks to Bruce.</p><p> </p><p> The other option is the face off, no contact angle.</p>

[Temes1066]

<p>I need some help with announcers and colour commentators, as I need to pick up one or two new announcers and one or two colour commentators.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Supreme Brand</span></strong></p><p>

<em>Supreme TV (A-Show)</em></p><p>

<strong>Announcer:</strong> Duane Fry</p><p>

<strong>Colour Commentator:</strong> Emma Chase</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Authority Figure:</strong> Commissioner [Kristen] Pearce</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Uprising TV (B-Show)</em></p><p>

<strong>Announcer:</strong> Marvin Earnest</p><p>

<strong>Colour Commentator:</strong> Ana Garcia</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Authority Figure:</strong> ??? (Jerry Eisen/Runaway Train/Carl Batch/Duke Hazzard)</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Assault Brand</span></strong></p><p>

<em>Assault TV (A Show)</em></p><p>

<strong>Announcer:</strong> ??? (maybe Jerry Eisen)</p><p>

<strong>Colour Commentator:</strong> ??? (probably MC Motormouth)</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Authority Figure:</strong> ??? (Jerry Eisen/Runaway Train/Carl Batch/Duke Hazzard)</p><p> </p><p>

<em>High Stakes TV (B Show)</em></p><p>

<strong>Colour Commentator</strong> ???</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Authority Figure:</strong> ??? (Jerry Eisen/Runaway Train/Carl Batch/Duke Hazzard)</p><p> </p><p>

My Assault Brand has more Hardcore/Rebellious feel to it, so Jerry Eisen might not be suitable. Additionally Adrian Garcia, Ernie Turner and Eric Tyler can't be used as they are busy with Managerial duties.</p><p> </p><p>

Do you guys have any ideas when it come to Announcers and colour commentators (and suitable combinations of them)</p>

[Matt_Black]

If you look on the Employment History of a character's profile, it will tell you what other, if any, commentators they have experience with.

[Munit]

Did Angry Gilmore win the world title because SWF's top talent was weak at that point? Could someone give me a backstory on him winning the big belt please.
