Loving this mod so far - WCW getting picked up and surviving at the end is such an interesting topic to me, made more so by reading about it in the Nitro book and hearing Bischoff talk about it on his podcast.
I am seeing a few workers in WCW who seem like their pop is a little off - either too high or too low, based on the Perception they're getting tagged at in-game. Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here - I'm a little out of loop on late-stage WCW, and I'm slowly catching up (by watching everything WCW on the Network from the start of Nitro to the end; I'm just getting to the start of the nWo, just watched Great American Bash 96).
Mark Jindrak - pegged as a Major Star (pop 64 in USA)
- puts him over Jarrett and almost equal to Booker T and DDP, which can't be right. Can it?
Johnny the Bull - pegged as a Star (pop 63 in USA)
- definitely feels too high; I remember him in WCW but he was a midcard guy at best. This puts him over Rick Steiner, Sid Vicious, Luger, Bagwell...
Kanyon - pegged as Well Known (pop 43 in USA)
- feels too low, to me at least. I know he had a feud with DDP in 2000 (did it spill into 2001?) and was definitely getting a decent push all the way through the end.
Johnny Swinger - pegged as Well Known (pop 35 in USA)
- feels too high, again; I think he was a lower midcard guy at best
Hugh Morrus - pegged as Recognisable (pop 36 in USA)
- I think he'd be a little higher than this; he carried the US title for awhile and seemed like they were trying to get him over
Alex Wright - pegged as Unimportant (pop 28 in USA)
- this one I'm not too sure on; I know he got a decent push when he showed up, had his stint with Disco where they were SUPER over in WCW, but then the Berlyn debacle happened. But I'm not sure what he did in the last year or so of WCW, so maybe I'm just thinking based on him in 95-97
Just throwing my thoughts out there - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Like I said, I'm a little rusty on late-stage WCW and not super up on storylines and pushes outside of the very top guys.
