Ideally, they’re all as good as they can be, but arranging things properly takes some time to master. To achieve the best possible ratings and make the most money, you also have to lay out your show with the best rhythm: a good opener, slightly less compelling midcard bouts, and then a superior main event. You’ll also occasionally end up making promises you need to fulfill within a certain time, with potentially disastrous effects on morale if you aren’t true to your word.

True to … well, the actual WWE, MyGM doesn’t acknowledge the existence of outside wrestling promotions.
