===========================================================================
1. Introduction
EWR is what I would describe as the "Championship Manager of wrestling". It
is a wrestling based simulation game. This game sees you take a Vince
McMahon like role where you are put in charge of your own wrestling
federation. You are in control of all the backstage happenings of the
wrestling world, you decide who feuds with who; you book the events, sign
sponsorship deals, hire talent. You get to build your own wrestling empire!
===========================================================================
2. Version History
v1.1  - 8th September 2002 - added the 'Other workers' section.
Added a few "Quick Tips" to certain sections. Added alternate
endings to some angles. Made a few corrections.
v1.0x - 7th September 2002 - added a couple of extra sites that have my
permission to use this FAQ. Made a few minor adjustments.
v1.0  - 5th September 2002 - Initial Release
===========================================================================
3. Getting started
To get started, first click on 'New Game' (bet ya didn't know that), from
there you are taken to a fed selection screen, where you can choose from 19
different promotions [if you aren't using any updates]. If you are new to
this game, I recommend you start off as WWE on the easy setting, as they
have the most money, staff, the biggest roster and are basically the best
promotion, so it's almost impossible to lose using them.
===========================================================================
4. Playing The Game
- The Main Screen
This is where it all begins. This screen shows you all the things which you
can control in the fed. In this section I'll show what all the different
options mean and what you can do in them.
Next Day - This will advance you to the next day of your illustrious career
When you advance to a day when you have an event/TV show planned
you will be taken to the booking screen, which is where you plan
what happens at that event.
===========================================================================
4.1
News - This is where you receive all the news about your shows, your roster
ratings, news on other feds etc. depending on what you've selected
in the options menu.
===========================================================================
4.2
Name Bar - This is the thin grey button located under the current date in
your game. Clicking on this will bring up your employment
history and your personal shortlist.
===========================================================================
4.2.1
Personal Shortlist - This is a list of all the wrestlers you have added to
your shortlist, ones you are interested in signing, or
whatever you choose to use it for.
===========================================================================
4.3
Notepad - This is your space for writing down any details and info you want
to put in there. You could use it for planning what you want to
happen in your feuds in the future, even for planning your own
roster split.
===========================================================================
4.4
Fed button - This button is located under the "NEWS" button. If you have
chosen to control the WWE, it will say WWE. If you've chosen
CZW, it will say CZW. When you click on this, I will bring up
a whole list of info about the fed you are controlling.
------------->Owner - This is who owns the company, your employer. This
person may change as you progress through the game,
but it won't really affect the game
------------->Money - This is your current bank balance. The most money you
can have is $100,000,000.
-------------->Size - This is how well your fed is doing. There are several
different sizes of fed, which are:
Backyard (smallest)
Small
Regional
Cult
National
Global (largest)
Each size will bring you extra options when it comes
to booking events - extra matches, pyros for
entrances, getting bands to play at PPV's etc. The
bigger your fed becomes, the more fans you'll attract
and the more money you'll make.
-----> Public Image - This is how well known you are to the public. Each
size listed above can be bought up to the next level
[except global] by reaching 100% public image. e.g.
If you are using a Backyard fed, to bring it up to a
Small fed you must reach 100% public image as a
backyard fed. Alternatively if you public image drops
to 0% you will be take down a level and will
automatically put to 90% in that group. Advertising,
merchandising and great events are a few ways of
increasing your public image.
-------->Risk Level - This option decides how "extreme" your fed is going
to be. Having the risk level low will make your fed
more family orientated, and will leave you with more
family friendly options. Having the level high will
make your fed more risqué, and will give you more
matches aimed towards the adult viewers e.g. Barbed
wire matches, Inferno matches, "Buck Naked" matches
etc. Having  your risk level too high, will leave you
with less  available sponsors to make deals with
because they won’t see you as something that would
be good for their image.
->Production Values -
----->Merchandising - This lets you decide you much you want to spend on
merchandise per month. The better you want your
merchandise to be, the more it will cost:
None----->Cost:$0
Poor----->Cost:$100,000
Average-->Cost:$500,000
Good----->Cost:$1,000,000
Superb--->Cost:$2,000,000
Remember these are how much you would have to pay PER
MONTH, not per year, so I wouldn't suggest choosing
'Superb' if you are starting out as a backyard fed,
because you will be losing a lot of money every month
-------->Advertising - This how much you want to spend on advertising your
fed. The better the advertising, the more you pay.
None----->Cost:$0
Poor----->Cost:$100,000
Average-->Cost:$500,000
Good----->Cost:$1,000,000
Superb--->Cost:$2,000,000
Advertising is a good way to increase your public
image quickly, but like merchandising, it is not
essential if you are a backyard or small fed, because
you will most probably be making a big monthly loss.
===========================================================================
4.4.1
YOUR TRAINING CAMP
The training camp is where you sign young talent to be trained until they
are good enough to be promoted to the actual roster. The camp will improve
the Brawl, Speed, Technical, Sells & Stiffness attributes. If you don't
currently have a training camp, it will cost $100,000 to open one. Once you
have one, and have named it, these options will be available. At the start
of every month you will get a message in the NEWS section, telling you how
much all of the workers at the camp have improved in all the aforementioned
attributes.
--------->Currently - This is just the name of your training camp, which
you can change at any time you like.
-------->Facilities - This is how good your training camp is, the better it
is the quicker your workers in training should be
able to develop [depending on who your trainer is].
------>Head Trainer - This is the main staff member that runs the training
camp and trains your young protégé’s. The better your
trainer is the more your trainees will develop.
----------->Improve - If you feel you have enough money, you can improve
the facilities of your camp. You start off with poor
facilities when you first open a training camp. These
are the costs for improving it:
Average->Cost:$1,000,000
Good---->Cost:$2,000,000
Superb-->Cost:$5,000,000
------------>Rename - Self-explanatory.
---->Change Trainer - This is where you select from all your staff that are
eligible to be trainers, who you want to be your head
trainer at the camp.
------------>Roster - This is the list of all the workers that you have
signed to the training camp.
------------->Close - If you feel, you no longer have the need for a camp,
you can close it and if you want you can sell off the
facilities. Be warned though, if you close the
training camp all the trainees will be released as
free agents, so graduate them from the camp before
closing it [see roster section for info on graduating
trainees].
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Quick Tip on workers in Training.
A worker can be graduated from the training camp at anytime, but I'd say to
not do that until the Head Trainer tells you that the wrestler is ready to
graduate from the camp. This way the worker can perform on your main roster
at their full potential.

===========================================================================
4.4.2
YOUR DEVELOPMENT TERRITORY
Development is where you can sign workers and send workers from your main
roster to develop their Over & Charisma attributes. Opening a new
development territory will cost you $500,000. Once you have opened it and
named it, these options will be available. At the beginning of every month
you will get a message from Development, telling you how much each of the
workers in development have improved in the Over & Charisma stats.
------------->Close - To close your territory if you no longer want it, as
with you training camp, if you close it before
recalling the workers in development; they will be
released as free agents. [see roster section for how
to recall and send workers to development]
----->Change Booker - You booker is an important factor of improving your
workers stats. This is where you select the Head
Booker of your development territory, from the list
of your staff who have the "Booker" option selected
as YES.
------------>Roster - The list of all the people that are currently in
development.
COMMISSIONER CONTROLS
Commissioners are not really an important person and won't effect how well
your fed does, but having a commissioner does unlock a few angles that
wouldn't be available if you didn't have one, but they are not essential.
------------>Change - This where you choose who you would like your
commissioner to be. Only Non-Wrestlers and Managers
can be the commissioner.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
---------->Sponsors - This where you choose the companies that you want to
sponsor your fed. You can only sign a deal with
sponsors that are interested on signing a deal with
you, so you might as well click on the "Only show
interested sponsors" box. The higher your Risk Level
is the harder it will be to find a sponsor that will
make a deal with you. Once you have found a sponsor
that is interested, you have 2 options:
Offer Main Sponsorship
Offer Minor Sponsorship
Offering the sponsor a main sponsorship will usually
sign them to a longer contract than a minor one.
You can only have 1 man sponsorship obviously, and
a maximum of 3 minor sponsorships. When you only
have minor sponsorships you can choose to promote one
of them to a main sponsorship if you want a longer
contract with them. You can also choose to end a deal
you have with a sponsor, this could end up costing
you a lot of money though as, however many months are
left on the contact, you will have to pay that many
times however much they are paying you per show.
e.g. If you have a deal with World Domination Inc for
$1,000,000 per show and there are 10 months left on
the contract and you choose to end the deal, you will
have to pay the sponsor $10,000,000 in legal fees.
------->View Roster - This is where you can see all the workers on your
main roster [excluding managers]. All of the workers
are put in different categories:
Main Event
Upper Midcarders
Midcarders
Lower Midcarders
Openers
Jobbers
Women
Lightweights
The roster is also divided into Faces, Heels &
Tweeners, which is useful for seeing which workers
should feud with who, so you don't accidentally start
a feud with 2 faces or 2 heels.
------->Quick Stats - This gives you a quick overview of some of the stats
of the workers on your main roster. This is useful
when booking matches, because you don't want to put 2
wrestlers that are best at Brawling into a ladder
match, because basically...it'll suck.
---------->Managers - This gives you the list of workers that are currently
employed as managers, and also shows you who they
manage, in the 'Clients' section.
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Quick Tip on workers in Development.
A worker can be recalled from development at anytime, but I advise that you
don't recall them until the Head Booker tells you that the wrestler can't
improve anymore. This way the worker can perform on your main roster at
their full potential.
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
===========================================================================
4.5
Roster - This screen shows all the workers on your main roster, including
managers and non-wrestlers. For every worker you click on there
is a list of information and number of options at the bottom of
the screen.
---------->Name Bar - The name of the worker you've selected. Click on the
'Change' button to change the workers name to
whatever you want.
------->Details Bar - Shows the workers sex, age and weight class.
---------->Contract - Shows the type of contract the worker has [verbal or
written], how long is left on their contract and how
much you pay them a month.
---------->Position - This is how high up the card the worker is. Main
Event being the highest up the card a worker can be
and Jobber being the lowest a worker can be on the
card e.g. The Rock is a Main Event worker in real
life and the Brooklyn Brawler is a Jobber in real
life.
------------>Status - Status shows if the wrestlers are available to use in
events or not. If they are, the status bar will say
'Available', if they're not it may say something like
'Suspended for 3 months' or 'Ripped Bicep, out for 6
months', and they will be unavailable for use. If a
worker is suspended however, you can use the 'remove
suspension' button at the bottom of the screen, to
make them available again if you really want to use
that particular worker at an upcoming event.
------->Disposition - This tells you whether the worker is a 'Heel' or a
'Face'.
------------->Brawl - This shows the workers Brawling ability. e.g.'s of
Brawlers are workers like Steve Austin or Rhyno.
Brawlers are best at things like Hardcore or Falls
Count Anywhere matches.
------------->Speed - This shows the workers ability to pull off speedy
Manoeuvres. e.g.’s of Speedy workers are workers
like Rey Mysterio or Juventud Guerrera. Speedy
workers are best at things like Ladder and TLC
matches.
--------->Technical - This shows a workers technical ability. e.g.’s of
technical wrestlers are workers like Chris Benoit
and Kurt Angle. Technical wrestlers are best at
things like Submission and Iron Man matches.
-------------->Over - This shows how popular or 'over' with the fans the
worker is. The higher this is, the more popular the
worker is. Interviews, angles and winning matches
will all help to get a worker over, but using angles
the wrong way could harm a workers overness.
---------->Charisma - This tells you how good the worker is with a mic in
their hand. e.g.’s of workers with good charisma are
workers like The Rock and Chris Jericho. Workers with
good charisma can get over quite easily, providing
you use them correctly e.g. Interviews.
------------->Sells - This shows you how well the worker reacts to moves
from an opponent. If this attribute is too low, the
worker is considered a 'no seller' e.g. The
Undertaker. If it's too high the work tends to
'oversell' e.g. Tommy Dreamer.
--------->Stiffness - This lets you know how 'stiff' a worker wrestles. If
workers work too stiff, they will most probably end
up injuring their opponent. e.g.’s of workers who
work too stiff are workers like Ahmed Johnson. If
workers don't wrestle stiff enough, then the match
looks very fake and won't give good ratings.
-------------->Team - Shows what tag team the worker is currently a part of.
-------------->With - You only see this if the worker is part of a tag team
this basically just shows who the other member of the
team is.
------------>Stable - Shows what stable the worker is a member of.
----------->Manager - Shows you who the workers manager is, you can change
the workers manager using the drop down menu of all
your workers who are eligible to be managers.
------------>Morale - This tells you how happy the worker currently is. The
higher the workers morale, the happier they are. Ways
to increase morale are things like, giving the worker
a title, moving the worker up the card, having them
part of a good feud etc. Ways to lower morale are
things like making them job to workers much lower
down the card than they are, or moving them down the
card. If a worker has low morale, they will not put
on good matches.
--------->Condition - Condition is how fit the worker currently is. If a
worker is in bad condition they will not put on good
matches.
------------>Speaks - This shows whether the wrestler speaks or not. DUH!
If they don't speak, they won't do good interviews.
----------->Trainer - This shows whether a worker is eligible to be become
a Trainer when they retire from wrestling.
---->Superstar Look - This shows whether someone has the look of a
superstar. Say if you saw wrestling for the first
time, you would probably think that RVD was a big
star, because he has the 'Superstar Look'.
------->P. Finisher - This shows you the worker's Primary Finisher, the
move which they would most often use to finish a
match. This move can be changed anytime you like by
clicking on the box containing the name of the move.
You don't get a big long list of finishers to choose
from, you choose type in a new name and choose what
type of move it is from the drop down menu to the
side of the box.
There are 4 different options:
Impact
Top Rope
Submission
Ground
Impact moves are moves like a Chokeslam or a
Pedigree. Top Rope are things like the 5 Star Frog
Splash or the Swanton Bomb. Submission finishers are
moves like the Angle Lock or the Crippler Crossface.
Ground moves are things like The Worm or The Peoples
Elbow.
------->S. Finisher - I can't be bothered to type it out again. SEE ABOVE!
===========================================================================
4.5.1
CHARACTER CONTROLS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contract Negotiations
This is where you can negotiate a new contract with a worker whose contract
is soon to expire, or to change the details of a workers current contract,
or to terminate a workers contract.
The top of the screen shows the worker you're looking at and the details of
their current contract.
The middle of the screen shows what you are going to offer the worker in
their new contract. You can choose from a written contract or a verbal
contract. What’s the difference? If a worker has a verbal contract they can
be stolen from you by another promotion without the promotion having to
pay you anything. Also If you choose to release a worker with a verbal
contract you can release them for free without having to pay compensation.
Whereas if a worker has a written contract, they are exclusive to you fed
until their contract expires. If you terminate a worker with a written
contract, you will have to pay them compensation, which will vary in price
depending on how high their wage is.
The bottom of the screen contains the following options:
Make offer, which will offer the current details you have selected, to the
worker.
Terminate Contract, already explained it.
Offer Release, use this option if a wrestler is unhappy and wants to leave
and you don't want to terminate their contract and lose money. It will
offer them a chance to leave, without you having to pay compensation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move Up Card
Use this option to promote a worker up the card e.g. make an Upper
Midcarder a Main Eventer. Obviously you cannot promote a Main Eventer up
the card because they are already at the top. Promoting a worker up the
card will usually bring up their morale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move Down Card
Use this option to demote a worker to a lower position on the card.
e.g. make an Upper Midcarder a Midcarder. You can't demote a Jobber as they
are already at the bottom of the rankings. Moving a worker down the card
brings down their morale most of the time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare To Turn
If you are thinking of turning one of your face workers heel at a future
event, you must first choose the 'Prepare to turn' option before the event
comes along. This option will not automatically turn a worker, you must
figure out the best way to do this at your next show.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Send To Development
If you feel a wrestler needs a little improving in the Brawling, Speedy,
Technical, Sells or Stiffness areas, you may choose to send them to
development to improve on these skills. You must obviously have a
development territory open before you can do this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graduate From Training Camp
If you have been told by your head trainer at your training camp, that a
worker is ready to graduate from the camp, this is what you select to
promote them to your main roster, if you feel they still haven't developed
enough; just send them over to your development territory. Simple.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove Suspension
If you have layed down the law on one of your workers and suspended them
for some reason, you can remove the suspension if you are thinking of using
them for an upcoming show.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortlist
Click this to add a worker to your personal shortlist.

Quick Tip on releasing workers
You will probably want to get rid of a lot of your weaker workers on the
roster when you start a new game. Sometimes when trying to fire a worker,
terminating their contract can be quite expensive if they have a written
contract, and they usually wont accept the offer of a release.
If you want to release a worker with terrible stats or someone you really
want to get rid of, work yourself into a bad finacial position. Yep. Get
your money into the minus'. Sign some good workers, fire your staff members
with low talent and hire new staff, set up a development territory and a
training camp with full facilities. By the time you have done this, you
will probably have very little or no money at all. Now, if you offer any
worker a release from the company, they will gladly accept due to the bad
financial position of the fed! Try to do this on the first day, so other
feds don't sign up all the best wrestlers and staff.
*WARNING* I advise you only do this if you start off as a Global or
National fed like WWE or NWA-TNA. If you try to do this as a backyard up to
regional fed, you will more than likely be fired straight away.

===========================================================================
4.5.2
Search Criteria
The search criteria option is just simply a way of sorting your roster.
It's pretty self explanatory once you click on it and plus I'm too lazy to
go through all the stuff you can do.
===========================================================================
4.6
Staff - The main staff screen brings up a list of all the staff currently
employed by your fed, and a bunch if info on what they do. HERE WE
GO AGAIN!
----------->View - There are several different types of staff:
Announcers
Referees
Production
Medical
Writers
Road Agents
Trainers
The drop down menu next to the word 'view' will sort out
the list of staff into which type of staff you want to
see.
------->Name Bar - The name of the member of staff you are currently
looking at
---->Details Bar - Shows the sex and age of the staff member.
------->Contract - Shows how long is left on the contract and how much you
are paying them every month. Staff can only have written
contracts.
------->Position - This tells you what job they are employed to do.
--------->Talent - Shows you how talented they are at their job.
--------->Morale - How happy the staff member is.
--------->Booker - This tells you whether or not a member of staff is
eligible to be a Booker. If it says yes, then you can
select them to be Head Booker at you development
territory or use them with the 'Auto Booker' feature
when at the booking screen.
===========================================================================
4.6.1
CHARACTER CONTROLS
Contract negotiations
This is where you can negotiate a new contract with a member of staff who's
contract is soon to expire, or to change the details of a staff member's
current contract, or to terminate a staff member's contract.
The top of the screen shows the member of staff you're looking at and the
details of their current contract.
The middle of the screen shows what you are going to offer the staff member
in their new contract. If you terminate a member of staff with a written
contract, you will have to pay them compensation, which will vary in price
depending on how high their wage is.
The bottom of the screen contains the following options:
Make offer, which will offer the current details you have selected, to the
staff member.
Terminate Contract, already explained it.
===========================================================================
4.7
Feuds
Feuds are a very important part of building a successful fed, so try to
have as many feuds going at one time as you can, and as soon as you end
one feud; make another one straight away. But I'll explain more about feuds
in the "Guide to feuds" section further down in this guide.
===========================================================================
4.7.1
How to start a feud
To start a feud, simply click on the 'start feud' option. This will take
you to a screen with 2 lists. These lists are all the workers on your
roster [including managers and non-wrestlers]. Click on one name from each
list to choose who you want to feud. It's important not to have faces
feuding with faces and heels feuding with heels because these feuds
generally don’t work, unless you're planning to turn one of them in their
first match with each other. To avoid doing this click on the 'view roster'
button at the bottom-middle of the screen, this will bring up a list of
which workers are heels and which are faces.
To start a feud between 2 teams of workers, simply uncheck the 'singles
feud' box located at the top-right of your screen. When you do this, you
should now have 4 lists instead of 2. Workers in lists 1+2 will feud with
the 2 workers you select from lists 3+4. Once again it's important you
don't team a face with a heel, because it won't get good ratings, again
unless you are planning to turn one of them before they have a actual match
Once you've selected who you want to feud click the 'start feud'
button at the bottom.
===========================================================================
4.7.2
Feud Overview
Once you have started a feud, there is a number next to the red box that
says 'heat'. Heat is how much the fans are into the feud, essential how
"hot" the feud is. The higher this number is [maximum being 100] the more
the fans are liking it. Also there will now be 3 options available from
the main feud screen:
-------->Ask Sophie - This is where your assistant Sophie gives you advice
on how to build up the heat in that particular feud.
--->Feud Statistics - This shows you how many individual 'feud heat points'
each wrestler has, and listed below are how they got
them, which are pretty self-explanatory.
---------->End Feud - This option allows you to end the feud off camera.
This is generally not recommended, as it can hurt
a workers popularity and bring down their morale.
[For more information on how to build individual feud heat points and how
to manage successful feuds etc, see the "Guide to feuds" section.

Other Workers
This is where you do important stuff like signing workers. Here you can
all the people in the game not currently employed by anyone. And if you
have the patience, you can scout for young talent to put into development
or your training camp.
===========================================================================
4.9.1
The Main Screen
On the left, is a list of all the workers currently unemployed [provided
you haven't enabled stealing (4.9.3)]. On the right-hand side, are all the
details of the current worker selected.
-------->Name Bar - The name of the worker you've selected.
----->Details Bar - Shows the workers sex, age and weight class.
-------->Contract - This will say Unemployed for all workers. If you have
stealing enabled, this shows the type of contract the
worker has [verbal or written], and what fed that
worker currently has a contract with.
-------->Position - This is how high up the card the worker is where they
are currently working. Main Event being the highest up
the card a worker can be and Jobber being the lowest a
worker can be on the card e.g. The Rock is a Main Event
worker in real life and the Brooklyn Brawler is a
Jobber in real life. You do not have to sign a worker
this high/low on your card if you don't want, it all
depends on who you're trying to sign.
---------->Status - Status shows if the wrestlers are able to use or not.
If they are, the status bar will say 'Active', if
they're not it may say something like 'Torn Quadricep,
out for 16 months', and they will be unavailable for
use once you sign them.
[I'm not sure if injured workers are included on the list, if someone can
clarify if they are or not, please let me know]
----->Disposition - This tells you whether the worker is a 'Heel' or a
'Face'.
----------->Brawl - This shows the workers Brawling ability. e.g.'s of
Brawlers are workers like Hardcore Holly or Tazz.
Brawlers are best at things like Hardcore or Falls
Count Anywhere matches.
----------->Speed - This shows the workers ability to pull off speedy
Manoeuvres. e.g.’s of Speedy workers are workers
like Rey Mysterio or Juventud Guerrera. Speedy
workers are best at things like Ladder and TLC
matches.
------->Technical - This shows a workers technical ability. e.g.’s of
technical wrestlers are workers like Chris Benoit
and Kurt Angle. Technical wrestlers are best at
things like Submission and Iron Man matches.
------------>Over - This shows how popular or 'over' with the fans the
worker is. The higher this is, the more popular the
worker is.
-------->Charisma - This tells you how good the worker is with a mic in
their hand. e.g.’s of workers with good charisma are
workers like The Rock and Chris Jericho. Workers with
good charisma can get over quite easily, providing
you use them correctly e.g. Interviews.
----------->Sells - This shows you how well the worker reacts to moves
from an opponent. If this attribute is too low, the
worker is considered a 'no seller' e.g. The
Undertaker. If it's too high the work tends to
'oversell' e.g. Tommy Dreamer.
------->Stiffness - This lets you know how 'stiff' a worker wrestles. If
workers work too stiff, they will most probably end
up injuring their opponent. e.g.’s of workers who
work too stiff are workers like Ahmed Johnson. If
workers don't wrestle stiff enough, then the match
looks very fake and won't give good ratings.
------------>Team - Shows what tag team the worker is currently a part of.
(If you sign one half of a tag team, the team will be
automatically listed as one of your teams at the Tag
Team screen, even though you haven't got the other
member)
------------>With - You only see this if the worker is part of a tag team
this basically just shows who the other member of the
team is.
--------->Manager - Shows you who the workers manager is.
------->Condition - Condition is how fit the worker currently is. If a
worker is in bad condition they will not put on good
matches.
---------->Speaks - Shows if the wrestler speaks or not. Either 'YES' or
'NO'. If they don't speak, they won't do good
interviews.
--------->Trainer - This shows whether a worker is eligible to be become
a Trainer when they retire from wrestling.
-->Superstar Look - This shows whether someone has the look of a
superstar.

CHARACTER CONTROLS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contract Negotiations
OK, so this is where we finally get to the signing workers bit. When you
click on this option, a new box will come up containing the following info:
The worker you are negotiating with.
Their contract demands. This is the workers preferred contract details.
The bottom of the screen shows what you are willing to offer the worker in
the contract. You get to alter the following:
Ring Name---->This is the name you want the worker to compete under for you
Disposition-->Where you get to choose whether the worker joins your fed as
a Face or a Heel.
Position----->What role you would like the worker to play in the fed. This
is where you choose how high/low on the card you want the
worker to be - OR - you can choose for them to be a Manager,
Non-wrestler, or to sign them to your development territory
or training camp. You can change a workers position on the
card anytime, but you cant assign a manager or non-wrestler
to another position without firing them and re-hiring them;
so make sure you choose the right one.
Type--------->This is what sort of contract you would like to sign them to.
Remember that workers on a verbal contract can be stolen by
other feds, and that firing workers on a written contract
will cost you money.
Length------->This is how long you would like to the worker to be a part of
your fed. There are 6 available contract lengths:
6 Months
1 Year
2 Years
3 Years
4 Years
5 Years
Try to get the longest contract you can, if the worker is a
worthwhile investment. If you're a smaller fed, you may just
want to sign a worker for just 6 months or a year, so they
can leave for free, and you can sign some more talented
workers to compete with the more popular feds.
Wage--------->This is how much you are willing to pay the worker monthly.
The amount you can offer ranges from $0 to $300,000 and goes
up in thousands.
===========================================================================
4.9.3
SEARCH CRITERIA
The search criteria option is a way of sorting your all the workers not
employed by you. In this search criteria, you will see an option to include
people who are working for other promotions. Checking this box will add all
workers from other feds to the list along with those who are unemployed.
The box enables stealing workers from other promotions, it wont always work
though, some workers are loyal and say they don't wish to join you while
they're working for another promotion, some workers may think your fed is
not big enough for them, and others will gladly jump ship. It will all
depend on the size of your fed, how happy they are with their current fed
and how much you're willing to pay them.

Quick Tip on Contract Negotiations
Never give in to a workers contract demands straight away. Wages can be
negotiated to something a lot lower, to save you a lot of money every month
One thing I've noticed that I can't seem to negotiate, even if I offer them
maximum wage and a main event slot, is signing someone that wants to be a
non-wrestler to work for me as a wrestler - Like Bret Hart or Shawn
Michaels. I've heard that there is a way to do this, so if anyone can tell
me how, it would be very much appreciated, by others as well as myself. And
of course I will give full credit to whoever sends in the info.

Events
Events are a very important aspect of EWR. These are the things that will
generate most of your income, so try to fill up all the available slots.
You can only have 1 event a month and you can't have the same name for 2
events. Events happen on the last Sunday of every month.
The size of your events, depends on how big your fed is. Here's a
list of the available events according to how big your promotion is.
Backyard---> Only Small events are available you will get a message from
the owner saying 'We need to stick to small shows right now'
if you select Large, Medium or PPV.
Small------> Only Small and Medium events are available you will get a
message from the owner saying 'We can't afford massive shows
like this' if you select Large or PPV.
Regional---> Only Medium and Large events are available, you will get a
message from the owner saying 'We can't afford to do small
shows like this' if you select Small, and 'We are not big
enough to do a profitable PPV yet' if you choose PPV.
Cult-------> Only Large and PPV events are available you will get a message
from the owner saying 'We need to be running bigger shows than
this' if you select Small or Medium.
National---> Only Large and PPV events are available you will get a message
from the owner saying 'We need to be running bigger shows than
this' if you select Small or Medium.
Global-----> Only PPV events are available you will get a message
from the owner saying 'We should only be running PPV events'
if you select Small, Medium or Large.
To create a new event just click the 'Alter Event' button in the month you
want the event to be in. Type in a name for your event ~ if you can't
think of event names, try using the PPV names from promotions no longer
running like ECW or WCW, they can be found easily on search engines if you
don't know them ~ choose the size of the event, according to you fed size.
If you make a mistake or want to delete an event, or change the name,
simply click 'Remove Event'.
