"SRW Promotion Wars - Training Camps"

GP asked me about this on an e-mail, so I thought I'd share with all of you.

At any time during Promotion Wars you may send a number of your roster away to a 'training camp' or 'development territory' (i'm not fussed on which you prefer to call it). Similar to the concept of OVW, the talents sent to a 'camp' will work matches with each other away from TV with the aim of sharpening their skills. You can send any number of talents to the se camps at any time and the matches they have their will be picked at random. It is a good idea to assign at least one guy with the 'Trainer' attribute to these camps, as wrokers will not learn anything from each other, unless the guy they are working is a 'Trainer'. The quality of training they receive will of course, depend a lot on who the trainer is. i.e. if you want someone to learn some death defying, high-flying moves, then The Iron Sheik probably isn't going to be able to teach them any...

A training camp is not the only way for your talents to learn new skills, working a TV match of your choosing against a 'trainer' will have the same effect. Workers can only gain overness from being on your main roster, they will not become more over as the result of a training camp.

One last thing, they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, this is true of wrestlers too. If you're expecting Hulk Hogan to learn new skills from one of your training camps, it's highly unlikely that he will...

You can improve skills but not overness at the training camps. Overness directly relates to your Main Roster.

Cong said to me that the training camps are in front of live audiences, because i asked him whether if someone is injured as a storyline and they are not really injured coud they go for training in the training camp and he said yes because the wwe do it all the time.

Well the primary purpose of training camps is to train the wrestlers (not that you'd think that looking at the stuff OVW churns out) so if the guys are already talented it wouldn't be worth it. Shall have to ease them into programming

In terms of getting them over? Hmmm not sure, it depends if we are allowed to have shows at our training camps. If so, then yes, there gonna get over as they'll have been seen by a crowd, but obviously they need to be on your main shows for them to be really put over.

Right, so basically if I have a few really talented 18-19 year olds, who aren't very over, sending them to the training camp would be pretty useless?

Yep. Although you're obviously limited to however many you actually have on your roster.

Can you send an unlimited number of trainers to the Training Camps?

Friday evening is looking likely.

Cong, when do you think you will be confirming trades that have been sent through email?
