Is it possible to have 2 winners in a match if 2 titles are on the line? 

Like if I want to do ladder match to split the wee tag titles, can I make 2 teams win a title each within the same match?

Workers learn faster against better opponents.

Question: Does a worker learn faster if the diffrence between the two skills is bigger?

 

Would a 25 psychology worker learn faster against a 100 psychology worker compared to a 75 psychology worker against a 100 psychology worker? (If they were as similar as possible besdies the psychology skill)

No, it only matters if they're better, not by how much.

I tried to see if the answer was in the handbook, but since it's not: do non-wrestling workers (referees, announcers, etc) take part in Independent shows ? If yes, is there a way to see who participated in such roles ?

Yes, they do. No, you can't see it.

Wondering if an idea I had was possible.

I had an idea where I tape two episodes of my b show and two episodes of my a show on the same night. Is it possible to make it so I tape B Show 1, A Show 1, B Show 2, and then A Show 2 for continuity sake or will it do two episodes of b show and then two episodes of a show? Won't be home to try myself until tomorrow and I'm afraid I'll forget

Just wondering if there's anyway to make this work or if I'm out of luck?

Just feels weird continuity wise to book two episodes of an A show and then book two episodes of the B show.

Currently doing a watcher. A company has a lightweight title with 9 lightweights on their roster. The title is labeled a secondary championship. The champion is recognizable. The champion is a heel. There are babyface lightweights who are also recognizable.

 

Over a full year, the champion never defended the title. Why is this? What can I do to change this?

You probably already checked this but what about owner preferences? Product?

So, I have this new created tag team of Sonny Kiss and Ron Killings (R-Truth) after randomly discovering that they have great chemistry as partners. Now I need a name... I came up with "Kiss of Truth", but that sounds more like a team finisher than a team name... 

 

Any suggestions on a team name?

I'm repeatedly having matches where both performers get ratings in the 90s but then the overall match rating is 80-82, and I've turned on the dirt sheet notes and it's not listing any penalties to the match. I've been ignoring it for a while but I just upgraded my broadcaster and now it's occasionally causing my performance to dip below the requirement.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? It's not an occasional consistency slip up, it's happening more often than not.

Assuming your using the latest patch, I'd recommend you recheck the dirt sheet and the notes section; it's virtually impossible to get that big of a drop without a penalty being applied, and that'd be listed in those places.

Just run through another show and had a similar (thought less severe) result, and combed through all the notes. There's no penalties/negative effects listed.

I have just realised I've still got my product setting all my matches to scripted by default, though. Is it possible that's the reason? Is there a ceiling on matches when they're scripted?

There's not a ceiling but it will obviously have some level of effect.

So say I wanted to run a fed in TEW with an active wrestler as my avatar. Could I theoretically take steroids in game and reap all the benefits without having to worry about the consequences of an early death or drug related scandal (barring my fed doesn’t test for steroids and I don’t employ others who juice)?

Still having the same issue. I know you say it's apparently impossible to get that much of a drop with no notifications, but it's definitely happening. 

Included a screenshot of the match rating, worker's performance ratings, and the full dirt sheet notes. Nothing negative noted at all but the match is dropping off hugely. Is it possible there's a potential cause that might not be showing up properly? 

Match Images

Also apologies if this is the wrong place to even be bringing this up, I just didn't want to make a whole thread for it.

No, it would mean that the cause is something that doesn't fall under the category of road agent notes and so isn't meant to be shown. If you send me a save game where there's a show booked and ready to run, following the instructions in the technical support forum, I will trace the drop for you.

I have questions about Alliances and Championships.
How does the AI handle retired titles?
I know that these titles "exist" even though they don't show up on the title board.
Do they actually try to activate/deactivate these championships or are they "locked" in their retired section forever?

I also have another question: let's say I want to set an alliance title as an annual tournament at a particular show.
How would the AI react?
Would there be loans so that all the companies in the alliance could take part in the tournament/show, or would it just run the tournament with all the participants from the company hosting the tournament?

You can't set alliance titles as tournaments.

You can set an alliance title to be a tournament title, but you cannot specify a particular event/month for the tournament to take place in. I assume (having not done this before) that the AI would hold a tournament for that title at random periods with participants from the hosting company.

I've never seen an alliance unretire (or retire, for that matter) a title so I think they are mostly locked in where they are at.

Something much have changed between 2016 and 2020 because it wasn't possible in 2016 and I never attempted it in 2020.

If I have a medium sized developmental territory, what's the max popularity that will accept being sent down there? I'm assuming personality types matter too, but curious if there's an average number.

I believe that it's relative to the wrestler's popularity versus the size of the development territory.

Right, I acknowledged that. I just want to know what the number is for a medium sized promotion. I imagine it's somewhere in the 70s as I've had people in the low 70s accept being sent down but people in the late 70s of popularity decline. Just wondering if there's a hard cut off.
