Anyone ever keep a wrestler out of spite? In one of my games one of the wrestlers had 0 morale. I tried and tried to make him happy and it didn't work, so out of disgust I changed his gimmick to Gender Bender. After a week he refused to work and out of spite (and he was only making 9,000 dollars a month) I refused to release him.

Once a guy drops to 0 morale, they're done. Hence me frantically fighting to keep Khali happy.
And I've considered buying out a few promotions if possible. Chikara are losing some money, so I may buy them out and make them into my development territory. Quack's already left so it's clearly a sinking ship. Although I have helped them financially with a $120k donation.
I do have a question however- If I bought out Chikara, I'd have a ton of guys with Loyalty relationships to Chris Hero, Claudio, and my other Chikara guys, including a couple of Blood Relatives. If I then fired the Loyal guys I didn't want, would the ones they had the relationship with quit WWE? Or would they just lose an s-load of morale? Since I've heard both happen. Thing is, there'd be that many loyal/friend guys, if I fired them all The Kings would probably drop to 0 morale.

Great thanks J, one more question I noticed there was a button for 'Quick Steal' how does that work? It pretty much allows you to override any type of hinderance when you're hiring away someone from another fed who's in their last 3 months of their contract. Say, you want to hire Triple H from WWE ... he won't go, due to his love relationship with Stephanie, and his unsackable agreement. The Quick Steal will void those out, and he'll agree to your offer. Jed f'n Shaffer ~Or, do what I do, and crush the company, then buy them out. All to hire one guy. ;D Thanks again J, and I've got to be honest you're technique sounds much more fun. Damn you WWE why won't you die!!!

People will not sign, re-sign or negotiate if they get that low. As for the loyalty thing, it's a bond like love or blood relative; send one guy packing, and anyone they're loyal to will follow. I tried firing Puma, and Bryan Danielson threatened to leave. Now, if it's FRIENDSHIP, that's different; the friends will just get upset and take a morale dip. But LOYALTY will result in walk-outs every time. Jed f'n Shaffer ~I've been paying for Puma for almost a year, all because of Bryan Danielson. Bastard.

The best way around that would be to use the total domination option, then pick and choose you want to sign. Just rename the development camp CHIKARA, problem sorted.

Thing is, the reason I want to do it is also to have a unficiation match, merging the Chikara belts with the World Tag, to put the Kigns over as worldwide undisuputed champions. But to do that I have to hire loyal guys. Question- if you let their contract expire, does the loyal guy still walk out? Also, let's say I hire Hallowicked for 1 show, then fire him. He has a Blood link to UltraMantis Black, so he'd leave, and is loyal to Chris Hero, so he would leave. Would Claudio leave because he is loyal to Chris Hero, who left? And then, would Regal and Taylor, who are loyal to Hero, leave because he left? And so on?

Not a whole lot of variance from real life there. Jed f'n Shaffer ~For the link, take off whatever's after the (.com). That may help. Well, yes and no. I kept what worked and shelved what didn't. In real life, Shawn defended the belt against Diesel in April. In mine, he defended it against Owen in April to end their feud. In real life, Shawn defended the belt against Bulldog at KOR. In mine, he defended against Vader. Also, there was no "Fatal Four Way" in real life. And the Vader match at Summerslam (rematch in mine) was a 2/3 falls. The truth is in the middle it seems. Some different, some the same.

Am Doing a 2002 scenario, and so far everything is great.
Just this month I signed both Sting and Scott Steiner.
Story is, Kevin Nash is feuding with Triple H, and Trips just aligned himself with Ric Flair and an up and Coming Randy Orton, so the two were brought in to help Kev.
DDP is having an informal feud with Eric Bischoff, who is currently a manages Three Minute Warning.
Both Cena and Batista are just starting up, so I can feed them to anyone, even Val Venis.

I can't wait for TEW 08 to come out, but at the same time I know it'll be a while before some bugs get fixed and any playable real world data to be released, so I'm trying not to get too hyped over it. I love creating an indie and putting together a roster from available talent.

I have a tendency to burn through money rather quickly.

As oyu'll probably notice I tend to steal real tag team/faction names I like and give them to teams/factions that have nothing to do with the real thing, I have no imagination when it comes to that kind of thing!

One last question re. loyalty- if you fire a guy on an open, who has a relationship to a guy on a written, will the written guy still walk out?

Okay and just to further bore everyone here's the guys I currently have in developmental...
Abismo Negro Austin Lee Cheech Chris Hero Cloudy Daizee Haze Drew Galloway Erick Stevens Go Shiozaki Kevin Steen Lacey Larry Sweeney Martin Stone Matt Classic Ms Vanessa Nattie Neidhart Pac Ruckus Sonjay Dutt Sprint LaSalle Takeshi Morishima Tyler Black
Generally they're guys who aren't on the game so when a bunch of generic guys come through my training camp I change them to real wrestlers. Also joining as of next month...
Rob Van Dam Tazz Christopher Daniels Lash LeRoux Donovan Morgan Sean O'Haire

If there is someone you want to fire, but can't either because you will owe a ton of money buying out a written contract, or because maybe he is friends with everyone and their mother and you don't want to piss your whole roster off, I have a tip. The key is to make them quit on their own. Basically just do everything you can to upset them -- drop them from Upper Midcarder down to Jobber, give them a Paperboy gimmick, job them out to women, etc. When their morale gets low enough, you can offer a release and they will accept. You do not have to buy out their contract, and their friends/loyalties will not be mad since they technically left on their own.
The one catch is that once you release someone with ultra low morale, you can never hire them again. I mean you *can*, but their morale will resume where it left off. If someone leaves because they hate you, they will hate you forever from that point on. So there's no point.

Just out of interest, what are everybody's tag teams and stables, and what card position are they?
For stable, I have the soon to be dissolved group of Edge, Vickie and the Edgeheads, i have my bgi Brit stable, and a semi-stable that is more of just a pact between 2 teams- teh WGTT and the Kigns of Wrestling, collectively referred to as The Untouchables.
My tag teams are as follows:
Top tier WWE Tag Title: Londrick In Crowd WGTT
WWE Tag Title project teams (teams I want to elevate) Moore Wang (Yang/Moore) Generation NEXT (Austin Aries & Roderick Strong)
WWE Tag Title lowercard teams: BLARGH Indeed (Khali & Funaki) The World's Largest Tag Team (Mark Henry & BDV)
World Tag Title main event teams: The Kings of Wrestling
And not much else on Raw other than Cade & Murdoch, and soemtiems Carlito & Santino.
Then I havethe teams like DX, Kennedy/MVP, the Brothers of Destruction, The Bluebloods, Regal & Finlay, Regal & Burchill, The Hardyz, The Last Extremists(Tommy Dreamer & Stevie Richards), who are not actual tag title division teams, but duos who team up every so often.
There's multiple planned teams I have though, such as Drew Galloway & S.O.S, who I plan to team up down the road as the Gaelic Dragoons (not a typo- it's a regiment). I intend to call up Eddie Colon from development eventually to pair with Carlito, and I also intend to call up Afa Jr eventually just as Afa to pair with Umaga as a modern day Wild Samoans team. I'm also waiting for Yosh!tsune to leave M-Pro so I can sign him to a written, to pair with Kota Ibushi, once I call him up, as Divine Wind.
So, what are everybody else's top teams, pet projects and lowercard pairs?
