how about television relationships

[NickC13573]

You know, like Vince McMahon and NBC, or TNA and SPIKE. or Vince and Spike, where if you had a good relationship they would be wiling to help you get bigger stars by paying for their salary, like Sting and Spike and TNA, with Spike pitching in for some salary.

I just mentioned something like this in the multiple owners thread. Thats pretty cool, great minds think a like I 'spose

I like the idea, I think it could be enhanced by introducing the whole network umbrella thing, where if you sign a tv deal with one of the channels in an umbrella, you could have one shot deals with bigger channels in their network, or have a shorter show on a smaller channel without having to go through the whole negotiation process of a new show. This might actually help you get that second tv show you want even when the economy and the industry are down.

ya, actually that post spawned that post.... but instead of having the TV owner OWN part of the promotion, it just gives you money, or a better deal, or more publicity.

i think there would have to be a HUGE downside to this to be honest. Maybe the person has to go over, be put in main event matches and get a title run. Basicly make creative controll but the network tells you what you would have to do with the person. I don't think it should be as easy as here is alot of money fell free to do with it what you want.

Yeah exactly, everything has to have a give and a take. They give you the worker but then the network sets goals for this worker. Main events so many ppvs', has a title run lasting so long, etc.

I think that they would be more likely to suggest that they appear on a minimum number of TV shows. Maybe being used at least two or three times a month, probably barring circumstances lie injury or whatever.

I think it would have to depend on how much the company payed. maybe like ten percent they can say use atleast x number of shows. twenty percent they can say x number of shows and x number of victoys. thirty percent all shows ppv and x number of "main events". all the way up to say fifty percent where they basicly say this man is the star of the show and make him your champion.

I agree with most of that. But my point was that I don't think the TV network would care if the guy was on PPV. They put him there to draw ratings on TV.

i like this and it does happen alot i don't know about how many times a tv network pays for a wrestler but the relation ship i see and then again if the owner has a bad relationship with a owner of a tv network they wouldn't take u on also if u do ****ty ratings they should kick u off air and even if u get better have a grudge against u for sometime and make u have smaller air time till the owner starts likeing u or even trusts u
