Jazz49ers Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 What's the biggest pay rise one of your wrestlers has ever asked for? I've seen quite a few wrestlers ask in my WWF Risky Business game in the four years I've been playing it. But, The Undertaker, who in less than a year on the main roster, who has shot from enhancement to main event and gone undefeated in that time, has just asked for the biggest I've ever seen. It's currently September 1989. A year ago, I resigned him to a ten year deal at $5,020 a month. He just asked for a raise to $57,020 a month! That's a $52,000 a month raise. Anybody seen anything close or bigger then that in one of their games? And, no, I didn't give it to him. I chose to only give him 75% of it, an increase of $39,000 a month.

Jazz49ers Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 He's currently sitting at 43-0. Mostly wins against local talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungner Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Don't know about my biggest, but in my 1987 save (Genadi's Golden Age mod), Rick Martel, who's a lower card guy and has mostly lost matches, wanted a pay rise of $12,000... No he did not get it, and now he's furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liontamer Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 <p>I don't recall the exact numbers but when I went cult I had a few people at around $1000 per month PPA that went to 25-40K written They were all very popular main eventers with very high momentum. </p><p> </p><p> I do find the logic somewhat interesting in that with most of them the AI made no play for them under PPA, but as soon as I offer a deal, it's a bidding war, which drove a few of their price tags up. I have mixed feelings on how realistic that is.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 <p>My biggest problem with pay raises is that they are at least in my experience perfectly fine taking a 75% but get upset (in my experience again) no matter what with a 50% raise.</p><p> </p><p> Has anyone ever had someone just go "okay" with a 50% raise?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did it twice to the same guy and after the second time he was annoyed but at the next event i gave him a good post speech and he was ok. He got signed by a mjaor competitor a short while later so i don't know what would have happened on a third refusal. </p><p> </p><p> although you can get away with refusing their pay raise but their moral better be through the roof beforehand.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
