    Andrew McManus has taken over control of W*ANG! He sent an e-mail saying we have his full support.

    “We are currently at a Small level, at 12% image. Currently, we are a financially solid company. Overall i would say you are doing an average job.”

    According to the editor this guy prefers characters which fits our style so far but his talent is 25. I don't know how somebody who acts as the owner without effecting the booking can really effect the product but fuck.

    How are you getting ring announcers and refs and other staff to join you? They all refuse to talk to me.

    I'm running a small level promotion and offer them tens of thousands of dollars a month.

    We're $97,000 in the red so far and we've only had one show.

    Man, I get "<So and So> Refuses to Talk To You"

    Granted, I'm running Backyard. So maybe that's the problem.

    Can you run shows without a staff?

    Could R-Truth, Kofi and Little Jimmy defend the titles using the Freebird rule?


    Because that'd be awesome

    Yes but you can't write angles without a writer and can't book matches without a referee. I'm sure you can't even start a show without somebody on production.

    Try using the search criteria to find somebody with <10 talent?

    A tag match for the pre-show, a tag match mid PPV, and the tag title match is starting off tonight?

    Prime Time Playas are the best money themed tag team since Million Doller Man and IRS.
    I said it.

    Of course the only other team I can think of is All Money is Legal, and they were terrible.

    Nobody with that level exists. What determines what ceiling of talent you can hire?

    And so did everyone else. Has anyone in the company ever commented on that?

    The size and public image of your company. Ask Sophie about it in the meeting and she'll give you your current limit. Right now I can only hire people under 40% talent.

    I don't think AW understands how this distracting the ref thing is supposed to work. Or is he just about to swerve on the PTP. I think both are about even.

    A Daniel Bryan face turn will be worth it if only for The Final Countdown.

    Also, I'm predicting that Tout will be dead by the end of the year.

    Whoever developed Tout probably threw a bunch of money at the WWE and are banking their success on this.

    WWE is early adopting on Tout in an attempt to be ahead of the curve on social media. As usual, the complaints will be more annoying than the actual result.

    It's like something that came out a think tank comprised solely of 50 year-old white men. Aka right in Vince's wheelhouse.

    I didn't expect to be happy to see Rey, but a Rey/Del Rio feud is needed. That, and he saved the Ryder.
