That reminds me of the other question I wanted to pose to the board: Lucha Underground ends a few months later; the final episodes are already taped. The showrunner has already said that if they were to do another season they'd have to basically do a reboot because all the recognizable talent was too expensive. Would people be interested in playing it as it lays, as of Ultima Lucha?

Best way to handle this, I think, is to include Lucha Underground as a closed company but provide a readme (or use the promotion bio!) for recommended settings should the player want to do a relaunch. The lack of assigned contracts actually becomes a feature in this case, since it reflects the company's lack of a roster at that point in time.

That's a really good idea, but I don't think companies can close by narrative. I've been going back and forth whether to start the mod before or after All In just because there's not really any other way around that, and I don't know how many people are actually interested in revisiting the event itself.

I was thinking do a narrative to make it poor and insignificant. An alternative idea is make the ELITE company with everyone who was on All In have it set to close and do the show as a tribute show to a the ELITE company. It means the player can't book it but its a middle ground of having All In in the history of the game world.

The other thing that's kind of frustrating is that TEW can't really reproduce the 'palace intrigue' aspect of wrestling -- Vince was out of WWE, then he came back and Triple H was out, then Vince was out again. Or Sofia Alonso's abortive takeover of CMLL.
