Since some people here play EWR/TEW I thought it could be a good idea to make a topic to let people know how you're doing so far. I have been playing EWR for 8 months (in game time) and so far has been a bumpy ride, USA Network dropped RAW because it was "Too Violent" so went 2 months doing weekly PPV's (And got rid of SmackDown) which really hurt my image then RAW went to SpikeTV and so far isn't doing as good as it once was my last rating was 5.61 when I was getting 7.25 on the USA Network so took a major hit there. Though my image has been increasing which is good. HBK came out of an injury and I re-hired Triple H after Chris Jericho got injured because he took a sick bump (moron!) so have feuded Triple H with Shawn Michaels and is my top feud right now, I also have Eddie Geurerro and RVD but Eddie got injured too . But I sent out more promo tapes and USA Network decided to accept me again since my risk wasn't as high as it was when I began so now I'm back on there and haven't done a show yet. I brought back Smackdown since I went on a hiring spree and made smackdown kind of a "development" show placing all the noobs on there with a few legends as well to keep the ratings good, but now TNA decided to go global and place a show on Friday Nights to compete with SmackDown, SmackDown is on UPN and TNA is on SpikeTV so they are on a far superior network then Smackdown is but will be interesting to see if they knock me off of Friday Nights . Also I found this pretty hilarious but made me mad at the same time as he was one of my top draws so a bit pissed with him. But that's how I'm doing so far interested to read how everyone else is doing Just held my WrestleMania PPV which was headlined by Triple H vs Shawn Michaels in a first blood match, the PPV got a 2.1 buyrate which is my highest buyrate, my last highest buy rate was 1.82 which was Survivor Series headlined by Stone Cold vs The Rock.

Wait, what's the difference between TEW and EWR? TEW is more advanced, you actually get to pick the length of each match, where the event is held and that stuff, in EWR you just make the show . I took a cheap shot at TNA and noticed their roster (except 5 people) were under an open contract meaning I could hire them, so I hired everyone and put them under written contracts meaning they can no longer work for TNA ;D , take that bastards . In the long run I'm sure it affected them since they only have 5 people left (James Storme, Vince Russo, Jeff Jarret, Jerry Jarrety and someone else) but I'm sure I'll end up regretting it since It'll probably cost me a lot of money looks like I'm making ticket prices more ;D Well Friday came and TNA bombed in the ratings so Smackdown won for the first time since TNA went to Fridays, but now TNA has a full roster again (Eric Bischoff, Terry Funk, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes) all under written contracts Well my "Destroy TNA roster then they will lose" plan back fired on me now that they have a better full roster they got a 6.84 and I got 3.21 which is the lowest rating I've ever had they are kicking SmackDowns ass . I need them to move to Monday they won't stand a chance their

I'm playing TEW 2005 at the moment, while I wait for the 2013 version to be released. Currently I'm playing as WWE, with Chris Jericho vs CM Punk as my top feud. I've also got The Miz feuding with Cena, Orton going against Daniel Bryan and Big Show, Sheamus, Mark Henry and Tensai feuding about who is the best 'big man' in the WWE. I've also bought back the Hardcore Title and put it on a guy called Jimmy Rave, I saw him wrestle in Ring of Honor one time and he put on one of the best heel performances I've ever seen - at one point he deliberately put together a series of really crap and boring moves just to annoy the crowd, it was awesome. Luckily in this game his stats are excellent, so I'm building him up to hopefully become the poster boy of the company. The Hardcore title also has the 24/7 rule so I've put together angles about him getting attacked in hotel rooms and stuff like that. The only problem is you don't get show ratings on TEW 2005 like you do in EWR, just viewing figures. On the USA Network I think I average about 4 million viewers for Raw, but I have no idea if that's good or not. I also laughed hard at John Cena's cocaine habit in your game, it's also weird how sometimes you'll get a message about wrestlers dying. In one of my old games Christian did, that was weird.

Get a decent real world mod for starters, that way stuff like shows, brands and a decent roster has all been done for you as negotiating a TV deal for a show is more trouble than it's worth.

I am planning a CM Punk vs Chris Jericho feud but Jericho has been injured for the last 2 months so haven't been able to do so . I am stuck on what to do with Big Show at the moment he said he would like to fight Rikishi but the fans don't like that so I have no idea what I'll do with him I also brought back the Hardcore Title I'm having Aj Style, RVD, Sabu, Sandman, Raven all fighting for it doing backstage attacks and stuff like that. I'm building AJ Styles as the "Next Big Thing" he's just a bit picky and gets mad at me sometimes, I'm starting him off as the Hardcore Title (and according to Sophie he makes a good champion) and am having him feud with RVD at the moment which is one of my top feuds right now next to HHH/Austin. John Cena is still in rehab and I have completed a year so getting ready for the Royal Rumble, I also made another show called "WWE Developmental" since I bought out XWC and got all their crappy wrestlers so just threw them on that show, I also moved Smackdown to Thursday because TNA was kicking my ass .

Good plan with Smackdown, they're smoking you in the ratings. The biggest problem I've got at the moment is with my roster, it's quite large and almost everyone at midcard level or above is complaining about not being used on shows enough if I don't give them a match every single week. In fact Sin Cara is getting right on my nipples because he's had several and still bitches about 'not being used enough,' fair enough he lost a six-way WWE title match and a singles match to Alberto Del Rio but at least he's having matches, and I'm only three weeks into my first year! Even after the first Raw show loads of people started complaining, it's really irritating. Even my road agents and backstage workers are getting annoyed, guys like Dean Malenko and Jamie Noble who have no place on my shows...

Even my road agents and backstage workers are getting annoyed, guys like Dean Malenko and Jamie Noble who have no place on my shows... They were I was getting ratings in the 3's sometimes 2's they were getting 5's so it was bad. I really like how they do the competition thing and how it affects my show Ya I have the same problem I have 200 workers and 3 shows I'm unable to get everyone on TV every week then they complain, even with my new show I still can't fit everyone. I don't want to create another show because it's a lot of work and having a network agree to it takes forever, took 3 months to get Smackdown moved and a new show added, it's a real pain in the butt I may have to let a few people go soon ---------------------- The royal Rumble is coming up soon and I'm not sure if I should have Undertaker return from his injury and win the Royal Rumble or if I should have AJ Styles end his feud with RVD with RVD winning the Hardcore title then going on to feud with CM Punk and build CM Punk, and then let AJ win the Royal Rumble and have him feud with Shawn Michaels until their match at WrestleMania. Last time I did AJ vs HBK it got a 92% rating and it was good so not sure . ----------------------------------- My game disappeared -_- I'm kind of pissed now I got really far , guess I'm starting over. I was thinking about starting on TEW but last time I played it took far too long to make a show and it was really frustrating, I'll think about it and with 2013 coming out they really should think about making 2007 freeware.

Found my game it was hiding from me. I put together a show real quick before leaving and got a 6.01 rating down from 6.86 I was pissed pulled a Vince McMahon got extremely angry and fired a shitload of workers including ric flair all he did was complain. This year sucks my ratings are slumping I have lost money the last 3 months and many people are unhappy and my next event is wrestlemania so hopefully I can make that show excellent and get raw back up and running. And TNA made a show on Saturday to compete with my pryme tyme show but are getting killed in the ratings.

6.01 is still nothing to sneeze at! Also back the save up if you haven't already. My first PPV (SummerSlam) is also coming up, the two big matches are CM Punk vs Jericho which is easily the hottest feud in the company and Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan. I've not yet pulled a Vince McMahon myself, although I will if everyone continues to complain.
