Seeing as there are now more choices on how to book them, is it possible that by booking a poor wrestlers, against say, Benoit and Angle 200 times a year, the poor wrestler will improve?

I'm sure this hasn't been a feature yet, but I think it would make a good addition, personally. Is it in?

No, you can't book specific matches for house shows.

BTW - funny how people's idea of a "good" addition is one with huge benefits and no drawbacks isn't it ;-)

But you mentioned testing opponents for chemistry, how would that work?

Reading about the house shows, I came across a thought.
In Japan, house shows are basically part of the tour structure. If a promotion runs a 2 week tour, with, say, 10 shows over the 2 weeks, 2 or 3 of them would be considered 'THE' shows, where there might be a title defence on top of the card, or would have some form of company direction, where as, the other shows, while extremely important for worker growth, and the in-ring continuation of conflicts, are considered 'house shows'.
Now, with us Japanese fans, we generally would want to book these shows, as they aren't your typical house shows in America, they are completely different.

So... yeah...

When running a touring schedule you would be booking all those shows, so essentially you wouldn't have house shows in the "unbooked" sense like other promotions do. So it is simulated correctly in other words.

The feature is there to test chemistry, not to book what is happening on the house show.

This is fantastic. This game is SOOOO F'N Realistic. We still have 2-Month's the the developer's diary and this game is already amazing. I am wondering how big the game file size is though.

Coding doesn't really increase the size by any great degree. The size of the download is mostly made up of the graphics and sound.
