*---Pay Per Views---*

The circle on the calender, the ideal climax for your feuds, where champions are made and for new acquisitions to appear! Try ending your feuds in a Pay Per View with a major match (hell in cell, triple cage, ladder), or have a run-in by another wrestler to start a new fresh feud on Raw/Nitro the next day- this is a sure-fire way to boost ratings.


---Starters---

There are 3 levels of spending money of PPV's:

Basic Promotion - $250,000
Regular Promotion - $500,000
Extensive Promotion - $1,000,000

Once you get enough money you can stick with spending $500,000 on your PPV's but when your first starting out it's best to use your money wisely on these. It's best to spend $1,000,000 or on your major PPV's because they are potential goldmines. Promotion increases your buy rate so in effect, the promotion pays for itself.
Summarized- if you are confident you can write a good card then go big time!


---Major PPVs---

For WWF: Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, Wrestlemania, King of the Ring, and Summer Slam.

For WCW: Slamboree, Great American Bash, Bash at the Beach, Halloween Havoc, and Starcade.


---The Card---

Before the PPV's make sure to write down who's going to fight in the PPV's, as the matches are your true moneymakers. You can pick up at least $5million for your company if you put on a good show. You don't want to mess any of the matches up by having the wrong people fight or have the wrong person win so just write down the matches, its insurance! 

Check your "Pushes" menu and make sure you have the right people pushed, so they win. 

There are 8 matches in PPV's so make sure to have more then just the standard 5 feuds going at the time. If you need to fill some spots in the PPV just have two High-Card wrestlers (if not booked yet) fight, and then the winner of that match could fight a Champion the next night on Raw/Nitro. Alternatively you could put on a match featuring the wrestlers bearing the best entertainment values (if they aren't booked). RATINGS RATINGS RATINGS!


---Special PPV features---

Make sure to use the Hell in a Cell (For WWF) or the Triple Cage (For WCW) in your PPV. They get good ratings, and you only get the chance to use them in PPV's so take advantage of them, preferably as a main event for the World Heavyweight title.


---Location, Location, Location!---

As you start out, make sure not to go too big in picking an arena. Even if you are doing great money-wise it will rarely get filled right off the bat. Wait a few months before you put your PPV of the year in the Georgia Dome (holds 40,000- $1,500,000). Its best for at first that:

For WWF- Hold PPVs in the Chicago Untied Center (holds 23,000- $1,000,000).

For WCW- The daring may go for Madison Square Gardens (holds 18,000- $800,000). 

It doesn't matter too much though because you are bewildered with money with either promotion, so you don't stand to lose much from it...
Unless of course you're low on money or your Federation isn't doing that great and you can't even fill 10000-13000 seat attendance- choose wisely, no sense in wasting money on an arena if you can't fill it.


---**Tips**---

!!  Put every title on the line! This sells the PPV like you wouldn't believe. Don't want the titleholder to lose? Give him a one-night push. Titleholder injured? Make a new one, higher ratings for it. Have him win it back when he isn't injured. Sorted.

!!  Don't rush into making the card, preparation and patience is key. This is your biggest source of income and one mistake can screw it all up. You wouldn't want that now would you?

!!  Begin your promotion of your PPV in the wake of the previous one. The sooner the better, right?
