What's a good gimmick for heel Bryan Danielson? He's having good matches but no one cares because the gimmick I have for him (show stealer) isn't working. I had cocky previously and that wasn't working, either.

I just got dropped from television because the game I'm playing had four shows on Monday nights. I was routinely about second or third every week, but I got dropped. No one has wanted my show for three months and it sucks. I really wanted a secondary program to go with the Monday night show because my roster was so big. Dammit.

For AmDrag, I'd go with Ice Man, Machine, or Old School Heel. Those three are easy to upkeep and make convincing...

ok. So first month is over in my WCW 1998 game. I made about 4.4 mil after everything was said and done, and my first batch of feuds should be ending on the 8th(Superbrawl). Raven is now a main eventer, and Eddie G an upper-mid carder.

Steve Blackman will be coming over to the roster in 2 months. The only other WWF guys who's contracts are expiring are Savio Vega and Harvey Wippleman. The only guys who are expiring for me are guys like Glaciar and La Parka.

No Gimmick Needed. Or the ones Senior Airman recommended.

If you get a new show, simple solution is don't put it on Mondays. Best not to overcrowd the dial, and let other companies do the work for you.

For instance: in my ROH game, I have two shows: one on Wednesday and one on Saturday. I picked these days for a specific reason: they had no opposition. I don't want to build an audience and fight another company at the same time. I want the audience and the PI strong first, so I can take the fight to them later. And when the time is right, I get a third show (my current network would almost certainly give me one, if I don't upgrade by then) and I position that show against Raw or SD or Impact or whatever. If I want to move my other shows, I let them expire, send out a tape, get a third show again, and relaunch it on the new night.

What relationships would Edge have that are more important than Christian Cage, who's working for me? Not too sure.

Love or loyalty. If one of his relationships is either Loves (perhaps Lita) or Loyalty (god only knows), and it's someone on the WWE roster, that's it.

Jed Shaffer
~Aside from using a cheat to Easy Steal, your only options are to either wait out him/his connections to get released, or to buy WWE.

Nope. In fact, most of his relationships are signed to me. Just a weird glitch, I guess.

By the way, what's the easiest way to buy WWE? I'm fed up of having them around, and it would be nice to do something with the talent.

for you to be able to buy a company out, the company has to be losing money at a fast rate. The best way to figure out is either to just click the "attempt buy out" button periodically, or keep tabs on other promotions via the websites in the game.

Do you have a lot of other main eventers already? I tried to do that playing as WWE trying to get Christian back, but he refused too, and I wondered if that was the problem. Maybe they don't like to go somewhere where there's too many top guys.

Right, but if there's one IN THE WWE, he's gonna stick there first, not leave. the game is slanted that way, to favor relationships inside the fed over relationships over the industry. So, if there's even one person in the WWE he has loyalty/love for, that trumps you having every other person on his list.

~The main eventer thing doesn't happen. Trust me, I'm so top-loaded its insane, and nobody turns me down.

I don't have many main eventers. Maybe five or six. So I don't think that could be the problem.

I also checked his relationships again, and he only has Friendships and Dislikes. Nothing else.

Then he just likes where he is.

I'm playing as TNA and I'm just over a year into it. Vince McMahon just retired from WWE and is looking to start his own promotion. That's awesome. MCMAHON VS. MCMAHON: This time....IT'S PERSONAL.

And Chris Jericho started his own promotion called Charisma Championship Wrestling.
With a risk rating of 24%.
And New Jack is his #1 guy.

Ok so My Evolution to the Next Lvl , HHH act grew stale in 1990, What would be a good Heal Gimick to give him? Im leaning to Suave but not sure (He is like my #5 heal)

'Degenerate'? That might work, but it's a pretty big change.

Quick question for y'all:

It says on one of the internet sites that "Shimmer Womens Athletes is in trouble", so I go to try and buy them out but Prazak isn't intrested, same with WXW, however, they will accept my offer of giving them money.

I wanna buy everyone out so is there a way around this??

You usually have to wait until a promotion specifically issues a bankruptcy warning. For example I am playing as TNA, and I got an email that Shimmer issued a bankruptcy warning. After that I was able to go into negotiations and I bought them. Now, I am running Shimmer as a second brand for TNA! I have TNA in two brands: Impact and Shimmer. Each brand has a prime time show and are getting very high ratings too.

Im waiting to do that when I have Shawn turn on Janetty lol, I allready have Nash and Lighning Kid in the Minors, probably will add Lion Hart to them and have an unstoppable faction.

That will fight Lynn, RVD,Sabu, Dreamer,Snuka, Taz

Has anyone ever had a worker who refused to work.

In my 1986 scenario running World Class, The Dingo Warrior refused to work for me with 11 months left on a $220,000-a-month contract.

His morale wasn't even below 60 at the time he refused to work anymore. I couldn't understand it, but that's just Warrior.

The 1980s versions are fun. The 1985 one is pretty weak, IMO, because WWE vs. NWA isn't very realistic in 1985, but the 1986 and 1987 ones are pretty sweet with WWE, NWA, AWA, UWF, World Class, Stampede, Portland, Memphis, Continental, WWC, etc...

Does anyone else have a problem with the ages of people in the game? It seems like most guys are about a year or two younger in the game than they acually are.
