TCP1 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm curious, what do people think would be the hardest region to start a company in the United States in Cornellverse? Would it be more difficult to start in a packed area like California, where you're going to be smashed by competitors forever? Or is there somewhere where people just do not care about wrestling and therefore it would be difficult to draw people and therefore money? I'm toying with more diary ideas for startup promotions FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regions like the Tri-State or New England. You'll be killed in regional battles for a while if you start in any of those areas. (Unless you manage to join the COTT). I think starting in a region like the Great Lakes might be the best bet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 What's South East like? (Is it even a region?). I fancy trying my hand at a New Orleans-themed promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If FCW, QAW and MAW get their acts together, they can create a rough regional battle, but at game start it is good. Tri-State I agree is probably the toughest, but Mid-South is bad too, because QAW and CZCW are competing there, so as soon as you hit F+ the regional battle is on. I am doing my RTG game there and have lost regional battles for the last 2+ years, so the growth is really, really slow for me. I think it would be easier for a perf>pop fed but as I am doing a pop>perf, it is tough at this size to put out the C or C+ shows to make me competitive in the regional battle.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can jam up some pop fairly quickly, even if the neighboring feds get better, you will be in a good spot with the regional battles.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hawaii is very hard, I started an RTG game and have yet to make any money or really gain any popularity a year in Plus, all the real world mods seem to have omitted it from TV coverage, at least in the ones that I use lol.. I wouldn't even consider trying it, but I can see how it would be impossible.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
