DaMegaFish Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Ugh! He wont let me take Dark Angel under a written contract, because he wants 21 thousand a month. It makes no sense, he is one of the companies top stars, and he's been there a while with us, so why shouldnt I be able to rehire him? So much for breaking into Japan...

Adam Ryland Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Dark Angel probably nearly swerved off the road when he heard he wasn't going to get $21,000 a month. That's one for the Brits on the board :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 :D It's a breach of his human rights, I tells ya! But yes - owners blocking contract deals is new for this version, and wholly unwelcome :p Okay, my GCG show lost 47,000 due to worker contracts, but am I to blame for that? My boss should let me sign whoever I want... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remianen Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Dark Angel isn't worth Sean McFly money. Look at his Resilience! Turn/push the baby Stone (I forget his name - Party Animal something). At least then if he loses his mind and asks for brother-in-law money, Dan Sr can't complain about it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone who was saying "TEW 2005 was too easy" welcome to 07 ;) I love being forced to come up with a new plan or direction on the spot and having to take that initial hit. It forces me to be even more creative and some of the best stuff comes from that. It's like directors talking about the difference between making studio and indy movies. When you can just throw money at every problem you miss out on all the happy accidents and creative ideas you would have had to had otherwise!

Feral Fox Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Yea i remembered about that but it was still as frustrating cause i know he's gonna end up going somewhere else before i get popular enough to have written contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Lyrium Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Pffft, if you don't like it, start your own promotion :p Then nobody can tell you what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob4590 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thats been the whole premise of running DAVE in 05 and also this year, that you are effectively under seige by the other promotions, and they will be stealing your stars if they possibly can.

That Crazy Guy Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 You guys think you got it bad? I stick the Elite Series to Dread because I want him to end his career with the Elite Series than a World Title to cap off his career but a day after the Elite Series I realise that his contract's expiring. So I schedule to renegotiate. $30, 000 per month! It was blocked, and right after he won the Elite Series Dread left me. One month later and he's unemployed. That's what he gets. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Lyrium Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have noticed that pretty much every worker in the game wants a pay-rise when you come to renegotiate their contracts. Which is kindof unrealistic and annoying. If you sign a worker for the first time, he's sensible about his demands. But any time you come to RE-sign someone who already works for you, they expect the Earth, sun, moon, and serveral large stars in payment, as well as most of your limbs. Obviously you'd expect that from someone you signed as a jobber who's now a main eventer, but when your lower card workers who've barely got a poke, let alone a push, start asking for huge pay increases it starts getting annoying. "Ey, amigo. It'sa me, Jesus Chavez. Remember me? I worked a dark match once or twice. Well, it's contract-renewal time, and despite the fact that I haven't developed at all over the last nine months, and am still an Opener, I want an extra $500 a show. Give money plx." The odd egomaniac, or as I mentioned, worker who's developed and got over since I signed him, would deserve a payrise. But every single worker asking for one is a tad much.

Cathcart Chiswick Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 What bothers me is, if DAVE can't sign anyone to a written contract, how do they have all those written contracts already? I've been playing as them for seven months, and so far, all it's really cost me is Big Cat Brandon, Emma Chase, and Acid. (Though I did drop a few other guys -- most notably Shawn Gonzalez, who ended up going to TCW, and Vin Tanner, who retired. DAVE's face roster is... kind of bad. Well, except for Art Reed and Jack Giedroyc. And Brandon, who you can't re-sign.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenskillz Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I think the idea with that is that they were already on written contracts when DAVE was flying high, before their turn around in fortunes and they started slipping down the scale.

That Crazy Guy Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Exactly. You must not forget that DAVE was once the third best promotion in America and were National at a time IIRC. But I'm not sure if that's really the reason why. Promotions like WLW, GCG and USPW have written contracts at the beginning, to. I think the real reason is that Adam doesn't want them to be completely raided at the beginning. That'd just be no fun. If you're playing those promotions you at least have time to build stars up by those guys whom are probably going to leave eventually, so that's always good. EDIT: :@ I LOSE KUNOMASU TO?!?!? I hate Sadaharu Jimbo. I want him dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggaloninjalee Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I so love these threads. Everyone being so upset about losing their favorites is what makes 07 the best wrestling game Adam has ever made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actarus Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I dislike Dan Stone for a different reason; I'm just a local fed playing on hard rock difficulty, and five months in, NOTBPW signs my #1 superstar, Kasmir Singh. He was not only my champion, but was having an extended ladder match feud with Rafael Ruiz; this match has been gold for me (B-/B!). Now, he's an opener in NOTBPW, and probably earning more $ at that position. C'est la vie. At least Dan Stone knows talent when he sees it.
