Unexpectedly awesome reception. o_o I'll proooobably post the show and next round of predix at some point tomorrow- I wanna give everybody a shot at getting in on predictions. No contest/Draw/Sports Entertainment Finish and the like ARE a valid choice- just put "no contest" or something similar, as it's all the same.

By the way, I have been meaning to ask someone who isn't terrible at TEW like I am this question for a while now: How do you constantly put your main eventers against each other and have a winner without the loser suffering overness-wise? Better yet, how do you not just book by the numbers and not always just hand the wins to the worker with higher overness? Whenever I have someone with lower overness beat someone with higher overness, it causes such a big overness penalty to the loser that it ends up just not being worth it, so I end up with really formulaic cards with no upsets ever, and it bores me.
-You'll be waiting a long time if you're looking here for non-terrible TEW players. I'm probably the best around and that's just sad. >_>
-"Constantly putting your main eventers against each other" probably isn't the best plan anyway...it's good to save the big money matches for the PPV, especially if you have the repetitive booking penalty on, and use triple threats, tags, and ME/MC kinds of matches for TV.
-Keep Strong is your friend. Keep Strong can really take the sting off a loss, and I think Dominate does even better. Open Match helps too.
-I haven't noticed huge problems with this. I mean, yeah, you don't wanna job your top shelf ME guys to midcarders if you wanna keep 'em over, but unless I just don't pay enough attention, jobbing one ME to a slightly less popular ME shouldn't be creating cataclysmic problems. I do try to keep losses within the same level on the card, though, unless I reeeeeally wanna get the underdog over or something.
-It's not EWR where you can have an entire roster of super over guys if you just keep going long enough. Try to pick guys at a few different levels that you don't mind sacrificing to put people over, and try to pick guys at each level to focus on and build up. If you wanna make an omlette with an undercard guy, you're probably gonna have to crack a few uppercard eggs to some extent, and that's just how it goes unless you're awesome.
-On a semi-related note, angles are your friend, especially with a fed like WWE. Somebody with superb entertainment skills can frequently bounce back pretty quickly just by getting mic time. This goes double for monster types, as a good Menace-based angle works wonders, as does a Dominate note for people running...I think Brute and Legit are the gimmick types that get crazy bonuses for that. It's like real life- all Kane needs is a squash or two and he's suddenly a big deal again even after getting his ass kicked for the 21847th feud in a row.
And yeah, CBH is a mite disappointing. I like it, don't get me wrong, but I'm more excited for CBH2 than CBH, and that's a kinda unfortunate feeling to get as early as I did. And yup, MCD October it is :D
