Easy money:
Note: This procedure involves changing game files; create backups before proceeding. Copy the files in the “save” folder into the “data” folder. Start the game, enter the editor, select your company, then change the current amount of money as high as desired. Note – Do not do this if your money is a negative value. Quit the game, then copy the files in the “data” folder back into the “save” folder.
Getting good ratings:
Recreate memorable real matches to get good ratings in the game. Try the following matches:
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels
Chris Jericho vs. the Rock
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit
Edge vs. Rhyno
Pogo The Clown vs. Doink The Clown
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
Document the event well by finishing with a special match, have an interview, etc.
Free worker release:
Promote and demote a worker up and down the roster until their morale gets under 40%. You can now offer him a release, and he will leave without you needing to buy out their contract.
Lowering morale:
Use the following trick to get rid of a wrestler that is under an expensive contract to avoid money and issues with their friends. When you release someone because they are unhappy, they will leave for free and no one gets mad. If someone’s is 40% or less, they will most likely let you release them. To lower morale, try the following.
Give them a stupid gimmick. Let them lose moral as they work.
Demote them down to a jobber.
Make them job to lowcarders.
Boost low morale:
If a worker has low morale, and is at Upper Midcard or Main Eventer, simply move down card until the worker is at Jobber. Then, move him up card until he is back at his position. His morale will be considerably higher.
Pinky and The Brain:
Start a new game with two promotion spots remaining. Sometimes at random, instead of going to the main screen after the game loads, Pinky and The Brain will show up on the screen and plan to take over the world and start their own wrestling promotions. Pinky’s promotion will be “Narf Poit Wrestling” and Brain’s will be “World Domination Wrestling”. NPW will be at a backyard level and WDW will be global.
Longer contracts:
Before you write a contract, change it from open to written then set it to 5 years. Put the money up to a little more than $300.
Staff:
The staff are the people responsible for the backstage operations of a promotion. There are eight types of staff.
STAFF – DESCRIPTION
Owners – They finance the promotions. A promotion that does not have a specific owner is run by a board of directors. Owners cannot be hired or fired by you, and so do not show up in any of the in-game rosters. They can however by hired of fired by promotions. They have specific styles, so certain owners may prefer to hire only brawlers, whereas another may be high on technical wrestlers. Wrestlers can retire to become owners. By talking to your staff, you will find out whether you need to hire more people for certain roles (for example, as you hire more wrestlers you may need more road agents to handle them). Staff hiring and firing is the same as it is with wrestlers.
Announcers – They who call the matches. Announcer’s quality affects the television ratings and pay-per-view buy rates.
Road Agents – They keep control in the back. If you have too few (or too few talented) road agents, anarchy is likely to start, and you will have more fights and incidents on your hands.
Referees – They officiate the matches. Poor referees will spoil matches and drag the quality down.
Medics – They tend to your injured workers. Too few (or too few talented) medics will result in injuries that take longer to heal.
Trainers – They run your training camps. A good trainer will be able to teach students to be good wrestlers; poor trainers may harm their development.
Writers – They write the angles. Without them, you cannot use angles at all. The quality of the writing team effects the reaction angles get.
Production – They set up the arena, do the pyrotechnics for entrances, keep the big screen working, make promotional material, edit the broadcast, work the cameras, deal with security, etc. Your rating will suffer if you do not have a good production staff.
