I kinda wish if a wrestler had loyalty to a company "take NJPW & Liger for instance" & they would announce their retirement & plan for their final available date for a historic (or highest rated event for the company) I feel like that would be a really cool touch.

<p>Can we see a change in the role of ownership when it comes to make new broadcasting deals?</p><p> </p><p>

Being tied up to sign with only that certain number (of broadcasters) is a pain in the a**.</p>

I hope it remains possible to opt out of regional/national battles entirely.

Good stuff so far. Can't wait for the live journal. But the upcoming small things will hopefully improve a lot of how we play.

I hope merchandise is done better this time round. I like that wrestlers will have individual sales numbers but I'm hoping that merchandise might precede pop. As we see in reality, a lot of pushes are the result of merchandise sales rather than what management see in the worker. I would love to see someone I planned to be a solid midcarder start moving merch, forcing me to push him and profit or stick with my gut on him.

So with child company booking being a thing now, will that make it mandatory to book your child company rather than hiring a booker

[Dogking]

I love the idea of individual wrestlers having merchandise sales. I wonder if depending on the product how individual sales go. For instance a family friendly company would get big sales from a bubbly babyface like a John Cena or a Bailey, but a more adult oriented company gets more merch sales feom say Tetsuya Naito or Kevin Owens

So, are tournament brackets not going to be a thing again this year? I love that TV tapings are being put in this year, but my other big request was that. I'm shocked there's nothing in the game like that yet.

[WYSmooth]

<p>Pre Booking Section</p><p> </p><p>

As described in the journal, the way mandatory pre-booking works in TEW 2020 doesn't simulate a Puroresu or Lucha Libre product accurately. Even on Tours (throughout Japan) and Lesser shows (Tuesday Arena Mexico Events for CMLL) fans still expect to know the full-card beforehand.</p><p> </p><p>

Perhaps having products set to have those expectations would simulate reality better.</p>

You can book tournaments all you want, with incredible flexibility and customization options. A bracket-shaped notepad that you can write names in? Or an auto-booker feature where you fill out the slots and it makes the matches for you? Surely you'd spend so much time choosing winners and match times that it would be just as quick to book normally.</p>

[Vinsmoker]

<p>Btw...Do tag-teams and Stables have collective Merchandise aswell?</p><p>

Ergo...Bullet Club shirts, nWo shirts, etc.</p>

Well, there goes making a small dev company just to get my guys stats up. I'm talking about...Big Smack Scott, Everest, those guys. New guys, sure, it's not going to hurt.
