So, the first episode of the HBK Hunting Show was like 90% hall of fame recap and like 10% Shawn killing a moose.

Also, I strenuously object to territory that is within Canada being referred to as "God's country"

Kofi Kingston and Kelly Kelly were on the National Rugby League Footy show. Both came off well although when asked what your and when the first WrestleMania was, neither knew. Kelly admitted having no idea. Kingston thought it was in 1981, but when told he was wrong, did say 1985 as his second guess, but he didn't know where it took place, until one of the hosts started humming "New York, New York,"

best part

kofi was born in 1981

he knows that this past wrestlemania was 27 and not 29 (which is how old he is, he will be 30 in a month)

and yet he guessed 1981

I spent seven months building up Cole/O'Reilly and Human Tornado/Chris Styles

Then all of sudden WWE signed O'Reilly. Then the next day RoH signed Human Tornado. Then four days later TNA signed Cole. Then CHIKARA took Styles three days after that to finish the sweep.

I've just started playing EWR and just took a new fed from Backyard to Small in just under a year (although my main over guy did just get stolen by TNA fffffuuuuuuuu). I've got decent sized sponsorship per show now but wondering if it's worth switching to weekly shows rather than monthly.

The EWR forums said that weekly shows are always a bad idea and you can't win with them. But I don't see how. I get X amount of money per show from sponsors and the outgoings will always be less than that sponsorship. Plus it gives me more chances to get people over and more chances at increasing PI.

So basically my question is, why is it always bad to go to weekly?

Ah, that would explain it. Shame it doesn't actually tell you that anywhere since sponsorship just says 'pay per show'. Guess I'll stick with monthly then. It just seems so slooooow going monthly though.

Also seems to really limit my roster. Sophie says I should have 16 people but that seems horribly overkill.

What I like to do in situations like that is hire the absolutely cheapest workers I can find (There are several $0 workers in the game) and just use them to flesh out some of your early matches. Granted, the matches will typically be pretty bad, but at your level that doesn't matter, and you're not paying them any cash. Win win!

It's definitely possible to "win" with weekly shows. I still think it's the better idea overall cause yeah PI is more important than profit when you're that small.

Then again I only played a fed from that low level once so maybe money becomes an issue at some point? I figure if you're still turning a profit keep with what you're doing. Unless monthly shows quad your PI gain too.

Having your champion sign for another company the day before he's going to drop the title in an 84 heat, 8 month feud is so not cool. Caused my title credibility to drop a crap ton. Oh well, have hired Derrick Bateman as a slightly more expensive replacement.

Gaining like 10% PI per month atm.

--At the WWE show in Perth earlier today, some fans booing John Cena were heckling him about how The Rock makes more money than him. Cena then said that he hoped somebody was filming this because he wanted to say something, and that is he doesn't care Rock makes more money than him, because Rock is an actor while he is a professional wrestler. Glad he thinks so since he's not supposed to say that. He said that they take their Rock shirts, because Rock will never ever be a full-time pro wrestler.
