My owner is a drug addict.

[Silent_Thunder]

Mod: Rising Storms '91

 

So, because I'm a lunatic and decided UWF was a great decision to book, I have had to deal with a particularly iffy problem. That being that the man who in real life died while chasing hookers with a baseball bat, covered in vaseline and coke, had a drug problem! Whodathunk.

 

The problem is I can't send my own owner to rehab, or fine him, or really do anything. This wouldn't be an issue if he wasn't pissy about being left off shows despite also having no acting talent. He's also causing issues with other companies left right and center, refusing to let me join alliances, and for the past year has had me burying a poor Midcarder.

 

So I'm not going to ask how to send him to rehab, or how to get him to improve his behavior. I'm past that point. I want to know how I can get revenge on him without being fired, or ruining the company.

 

So, a humiliating storyline, or perhaps a worker known for botches I could... encourage him to wrestle. Maybe a way to encourage a personal scandal? I want to ruin this man.

 

Or if there's some way to actually get him to stop being a dick, that'd be appriciated. And before someone says it, let me clarify, a way to stop him without disabling key features of the game.

<p>cant see how you could get round this. potentially need to stick it out and look for a new job?</p><p> </p><p>

you could run the owner storyline but then that's editing the DB as well and not realistic.</p><p> </p><p>

any chance you can send on holiday? like repeatedly?</p>

Push him as a jobber and have him work with stupid unsafe workers. He might suffer an accident.

Send him on vacation. For six months. Out of sight, out of mind.

Put him through a gauntlet of dangerous matches to ensure the man breaks. Have him start with an inferno match....move onto a scaffold match....the next could be a barbwire match....ect. Make sure you do it in the same night and try to end his career....I would run this event in a region that you don't care about so you don't tank your ratings.</p>

Easiest solution, without injuring him, is to have him used in an angle on your pre-show or post show. He will still affect your backstage raging and whatever else, but at least you have fulfilled the requirement to not leave him off the show. And in one of the two spots, he doesn't kill your show rating.
