Profile - Some may call Jim Cornette a dinosaur for creating a federation in an 80s, big men only, style. He thinks otherwise. Will nostalgia and an army of giants help Big Boys Wrestling reach the top?

Not to rush you, because I know the mod is a lot of work, but do you know if the data will be ready tonight? I'm making plans for my evening and if it's not coming out I'll find something to do <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

<p>So here's the situation, I'm working on adding TV deals right now and for KnowYourEnemy's TV deal, it won't let me put it in as a touring show because, and I quote, "There is already a record with that combination of broadcaster, company, and TV show already in the database." </p><p> </p><p>

I have come up with a solution, KnowYourEnemy, if you are fine with it, PCG's touring highlights show will have to become a normal TV show. It's either that or he can select a new broadcaster to broadcast the touring highlights.</p>

<p>Just do the regular TV show, and don't worry about it.</p><p>

<strong>TV Show on NHK World, Slot: Prime Time</strong></p><p>

PCG Burning Sensations, 1 Hour</p><p>

Looking forward to the mod! I'll try to figure out the problem once I get the data -- I plan to do a quick run in the general discussions section. We'll sim about three years.</p>

Making a list here that I will edit as I find more.

 

Unretire Rick Rude

Change Jim Cornette's default push to Road Agent

Give John Nord the Berzerker gimmick

Give Arnold Schwarzenegger the Legend gimmick

Give D'Lo Brown the Angry Young Man gimmick

PCG and BBW have a non-aggression pact

BBW has a hiring rule of Minimum Light Heavyweight

Drop BBW's Match ratio for events to 60%

 

How detailed do you want this? Because I am going to want a lot of face/heel changes, but I'd be fine doing that myself when I set up my first game.

<p>Errors: Satoru Sayama should have "favoured role" category "wrestler" set to "usually" and the other categories set to never. Not sure if this is possible, he is a "semi-active" wrestler. I think this is within the rules. </p><p> </p><p> How did you calculate popularity? From the "top five wrestlers" it appears that BBW should have more popularity than CWF -- if I had the formula, I could double-check it for you. </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I'll try to post there as often as I can as well.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Thank you! I'm going to adjust the popularity -- there's no reason an Austrailian-base regional-level company should be National in America. I'm limiting each promotion to one C (64) and one D+ (48) pop area, and scaling back other areas proportionally -- in my playthrough.</p>

<p>Some quick errors (PCG):</p><p> </p><p>

Jushin Thunder Liger should be set to PCG Figurehead.</p><p> </p><p>

If there isn't anything in the rules against it, can Satoru Sayama's contract status be set to "active wrestler"? This would allow him the CPU to give him an assigned push. I still want his profile/record status to be "semi-active wrestler".</p><p> </p><p>

Akira Nogami should be under his "AKIRA" alter-ego. Koji Kanemoto should be under "Tiger Mask III" alter-ego. </p><p> </p><p>

In PCG, Villiano I should have roster usage in his contract set to "in-ring" and Rey Mendoza should have roster usage set to "road agent". </p><p> </p><p>

PCG should have the hiring rule "Maximum Size Middleweight".</p>

I've played a month and I'm struggling.

 

Weekly PPVs lost popularity in the US. I could not get 3 solid storylines going. I expanded to nearly global coverage for events. Still no TV show, but that is deliberate.

 

Things finally turned around at the monthly PPV. Gained popularity, pleased all my carriers. Enough good storylines to not take penalties.

 

Solid profits. Messy backstage and Ed Leslie keeps wrestling wasted, which is an even bigger problem since he's one half of the tag champions. For now I can throw money at the upset people, but that may lead to diminishing returns. My biggest lucky strike was at my first show where I managed to improve Hulk Hogan and Vader's relationship to simmering tension.

 

I think I can keep going fairly well for now. I hope I can, at least, be able to tread water on popularity and keep making solid cash.
