Tomato Can Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I always end up with at least 3 different brands which get their own show. This makes 3 shows a week with a big show once a month. I always seem to want this set up, but I usually begin to feel overwhelmed with it all and promise to cut back in the future. I usually dont. How about you? How many shows a week and do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Two, two hour programs per week with two ppvs per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Before my laptop kicked the bucket, I ran one two hour A show a week and a one hour B show a week. Then I had a ppv on the last day of the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I always end up with at least 3 different brands which get their own show. This makes 3 shows a week with a big show once a month. I always seem to want this set up, but I usually begin to feel overwhelmed with it all and promise to cut back in the future. I usually dont. How about you? How many shows a week and do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed? Depends on the company I'm playing. Right now I have two games going on -- a game where I play as a touring company an India and in that case, I book around 9/10 shows a month. Some months are more and some are fewer -- but usually, it is the same thing where there is a week with no shows and then a couple of weeks with multiple shows a week. I also have a game where I have TV, but I tape all four weeks of TV in one night and then I don't book for the rest of the month -- and I have a PPV/big show every three months (so four a year).

Self Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If we're talking weekly television, one is plenty for me. 90 minutes max. Any more and it's overwhelming. For smaller companies I like running touring shows. 5-6 shows in a row, crammed into the half term holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinsmoker Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 That Depends on the save. In my 2004 WWE save I run Heat (B) + Raw (A) on Mondays Velocity (B) + SmackDown (A) on Tuesday taped. B-Shows: 1 Hour / A-Shows: 2 Hours Every month there is 1 brand exclusive PPV or 1 non-exclusive PPV. Occasionally I will run Saturday Night Main Events or other Specials shows in addition to that In my current Effganic save I'm still in 1925 and I run a little less than one show every month, except for my round robin tournament (8 shows in two months) and my elimination tournament in december (2 or 3 shows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liontamer Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 In my current save, I have two 3hr A shows and a 2hr B show, as well as a monthly 3.5hr ppv, it's a bit overwhelming, but is needed for my giant roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Templar Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've got two saves that I'm working on and alternating between the two. In both, I have booking times turned off, so the times are approximate. In the modern save (I'm in mid-2021), I'm running three different companies. Two have weekly TV shows with two "tour shows" (I call them house shows) a week (those are pretty simple since I use the Auto Booker to set most of those shows up). The third company is a Japanese touring company, so it varies depending on what's going on. My TV shows are two-ahd-a-half hours (parent company) and one-hour (child company). The tour shows are 90 to 150 minutes. The big event shows are 3 hours. In the 1980 save, I'm running World Class in Dallas, Texas, with a weekly TV show and two tour shows (again, house shows) a week. I also run one supercard event a month. The TV show is set for three hours, but in my head canon, it's 90 minutes with dark matches and pre-show matches. While the pre-show matches are usually lower card, the "dark matches" are upper card wrestlers whose matches aren't feeding the storylines I'm focusing my TV on. The tour/house shows are two hours, and my supercard events are 3 hours long. St.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tywood2022 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 In my current save, I have two 3hr A shows and a 2hr B show, as well as a monthly 3.5hr ppv, it's a bit overwhelming, but is needed for my giant roster. That's where I was with my TEW2016 SWF save. I also had another 1 hr B show I would change up every few months. It's a hardcore show for a little while, then it's about a big round robin tournament going on in the background, then it's centered around the lightweight division, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kijar Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 One event a month, two brands with an A-Show and B-Show each. Sometimes I add a 3rd B-Show for both brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtb321 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 How do I even get a 3rd show? Every time I try to do one, it says that the broadcaster does not feel that a company of my size can't support a 3rd show, The current size is Medium. You need to be at least large to get 3 shows.

gtb321 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I have two 2 hour shows and one 1 hour B show a week. For me, I alternating between booking myself and using the autobooker. Out of 12 TV shows I run in a month, I book 4. I never book B shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChef Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 One. Only ever one. I run one weekly event and that's it. Any more and I get overwhelmed or bored. I do change the length of the event depending on my roster size, but if I ever get to the point where I can't manage my roster in a three-hour show, I start cutting.
