4. Company

                 Once you have selected a promotion you will be taken to the first of three editing screens, in which you can customise the federation.

                 In the top left hand corner of the first screen is the name of the promotion. Click on this to change the promotion's name - you will be asked to specify its full name (up to 30 characters long) and also its initials (up to 3 characters). Note : if you were to change the WWF into a new federation, say Japan's NOAH, then all the wrestlers who had WWF set as their employer will now be working for NOAH. You can alter this by editing the wrestlers as normal. Next to this is the name of the owner \ CEO of the company. You may change this, if you wish, by clicking on it. Below this are two very important variables - the public image and starting money. The public image is the most important value for every promotion, and is a measure of how well-known a promotion is. This effects TV and pay-per-views ratings, what wrestlers will want to join, etc. Click on it to edit it. A general guide is :

100 - 90 : World renowned promotion, with amazing ratings.
70-90 : Well known, with very good ratings.
40-70 : Well known in most places, has pretty good ratings.
20-40 : Not so well known, with smaller ratings.
0-20 : Hardly known, very small ratings.

                 The starting money, which has a maximum of 70 million dollars, is how much the promotion starts with.

                 Below these values are the six available titles. The bottom right hand title is the tag team titles, the others are singles titles. Clicking on a title brings up the title definition menus. First you can select whether it will be active or not. If the title is not active then it cannot be fought for, although you can make it active again while playing the game. If the title is active, then you move onto the next screen - giving the title a name. You simply type in the name, although you do not put "title" after it - i.e. you type just "intercontinental", not "intercontinental title". The next screen lets you set the weight limit - if it does have a weight limit then only wrestlers of the class "lightweight" can compete for it. The final screen lets you set the sex of the competitors - you can make it so that only men, only women, or everyone can compete for the title.

                 The second screen allows you to allocate staff members to various jobs, as well as setting up your TV shows. At the top of the screen are three sets of two boxes. The left-most box of each set is the "TV" box - clicking on this allows you to define whether each show is on, and what it's name is. The top box is the primary TV show (Monday nights), the second is the secondary show (mid-week), and the final box is the tertiary show (weekend). The right-most box is the space to define the announcers for each show. It should be noted that the announcers for the primary show are automatically the announcers for any pay-per-view show. To pick the announcers, click on the box and you will be given a list of staff members. On this screen there are also three buttons at the side - "names", "extra" and "back". By clicking on "extra" you will be given a list of jobs. If you click on one, then the list of staff members will be shown again, but this time all the staff who were of the job class you selected will be highlighted. To remove the highlighting, click on "names" on the side.

                 Select two announcers (each show MUST have two announcers, you cannot have just one). If they are eligible (they must work for the correct company and be classed as "announcers") then you will be returned to the original screen, and the correct announcers will be in place. If one of the selections was not eligible then the announcing team will be vacant.

                 Below the TV shows are four other boxes - your "head of production", your "head road agent", your interviewer, and your commissioner. You can select each one by clicking on the box. Again, they must be eligible - they must work for the correct company, and be of the correct class. The commissioner is the oddity here, as he is not actually a "staff" member, but a wrestler from your roster. Anyone can be selected to be the commissioner, as long as they work for your promotion on a full-time contract (i.e. - not under a development deal.) The commissioner does not actually have any "real" duties to perform, he is purely an on-screen character.

Head of production : The head of production is in charge of producing the show, so takes care of everything from on-screen graphics to pyrotechnics.
Head road agent : The road agent's job is to make sure everything goes smoothly backstage. He is your direct link with the wrestlers, and sorts out any problems that may occur between wrestlers.
Interviewer : Your interviewer sets up and conducts interviews with wrestlers.

                 The final screen allows you to define your pay-per-view events. Click on the relevant month and you will be asked if the pay-per-view is on. If it is on, then you will be asked for a name. You will then be asked if the event has a number after it. If you select yes then you will be able to define the number, which will then appear after the show's name (i.e. - "WrestleMania 6"). If you select no when asked for a number, you will then be asked if it has a year after the name (i.e. - "Summer Slam 1998"). Once you have selected this, you will have finished defining the pay-per-view.
