Then in your "relationships" tab you just can cancel the agreement to accept developmental workers for the new company. After you appoint an owner and booker it will staff itself. It takes about a week or so to start seeing theresults. You can borrow from them like a developmental company (i think...this is all off the top of my head) but you can definitely take people from their roster like you would a developmental company.

I dont know im not far enough along to mess with it that much yet.</p><p> </p><p> I had this question myself this morning and just figured it out. I wanted to create an international alliance of smaller promotions but i didnt want to staff all that myself. This is how I have started doing it.</p>

Doesn't toughness have something to do with how often they get injured?

[Everything Ken]

<p>Does anyone know how exactly the game determines if someone will come out of retirement if you ask them? I want to have a comeback later in the year, and I see you can't edit them out of retirement in the in-game editor. </p><p> </p><p>

Is it just their condition? Or do attributes or something else play a role as well? </p><p> </p><p>

If all else fails, I'll just use the main editor to fix that and import a copy of them into the game.</p>

[twill1]

My save randomly made a few young wrestlers retire, I changed them back to active wrestlers but it still says "retired wrestler" how do I change that?

If you install the game from the retail or new demo downloads the default skin will have the new UI. Older skins made from the beta that haven't been updated won't be able to run with the full release as they are based on the old UI

[sonofpaul]

Anyone know at what point bigger companies will start to try to steal your workers? I assume it is based on popularity.

[Supermercado]

I've been running a minor promotion for six months starting at zero popularity and everyone on my roster is considered a major star - even the guys I've been beating like a drum since day one. Doesn't seem right.

 

Momentum is working as expected but it shouldn't be hard for the fans to tell the difference between the guys holding the titles and the card-fillers by now. Anyone else have this issue? Wondering if it's just because the promotion is so small the fans think anyone in tights is a star.

idk about real world, but USPW in cornellverse (biggest company) tries to steal stars, and those who arent even stars. Like my 45yr old vet in time decline with 50 pop, they are offering 2 1/2 years on good money for. They start immediately when contracts are up

That's exactly it. It's based on their popularity relative to your company's, modified by momentum. So if you have 5 pop, and all of your roster is in the 10-15 range, everyone will be considered to be a star.

Thanks, I don't agree with the concept but I know who's where on the pecking order so will just keep improving the company until the game agrees.

Bit of a novice here, but what does it mean when it says "Lack of anything interesting going on" when you book an angle??

[jesseewiak]

Most likely, you're using an angle rated on Overness or Menace for longer than 4 minutes. For longer angles, your workers need to be doing something - so, they need to be booked on Entertainment, Microphone, Fighting, etc.

[vigiel]

speaking of angle, is it better to choose fighting over overness when for example i want to do brawl segment? and what's the correct way to use others like acting, selling, star quality, etc since i always use entertainment, overness, and microphone

Oh I got it, cheers

[The Nickman]

I actually did get a penalty for lack of interesting storylines.

 

Two things:

 

1. What I did before a show was have the AI auto book everything. Then I looked at the angles in particular to see how it was rating people in them. Then I deleted everything and booked everything accordingly. This resulted in my highest rated show so far when I put a major star in a main event angle.

 

2. One thing that happened in my first week is that a lot of my all of my major stars dropped to stars (except for one), and stars to the next level down. I'm not sure how that happened as no shows had happened when I noticed this change.

There’s your problem then, the “lack of interesting storylines” penalty will be hurting your show rating quite a bit.

 

If you didn’t get that penalty on that show you would’ve got much a better show rating.

[vigiel]

any tips on getting female wrestlers over? i've been struggling with getting their popularity number to increase since most of them on my roster have low popularity.

worked better on 16, but aligning them with ur male major stars in angles help. Rate them one ent, or SA or something, and the major star on ent or overness. Could also do mix tag matches

<p>Product Questions</p><p> </p><p>

I remember in TEW 2016 that you could change the product of a setting so you don't have to have storylines. Is there a way to do that in TEW 2020? Thanks in advance fellow TEW fans</p>

[Zero]

What product allows for short angles?

[Kingster]

What product allows for short angles?

 

Probably all the products where wrestling is more important than entertainment.

 

My question: It says that popularity gains are partly dependent on whether the product is trending or not. In 2016, you could see current trends on the product screen, but isn't there in 2020. I can't for the life of me find out where that information is located.
