I'm starting to think these D1000s might be a little crooked somehow.....

One light illuminates the wrestling ring in the Nuclear Bunker, blacking out the weights, boxing ring, punchbags and finely dressed Italian gentlemen that are surely quietly exchanging family recipes for even finer Italian foods. Standing tall in the middle of the ring is our League champion, Nuclear Templeton, managing to look angry even with a rare smile on his face. "I don't care much about talking, I'm not in the League to make friends, I'm here to fight and make make money. And I've done just that and now I stand as the greatest champion The League hs ever had. And it just so happens I've also made a few friends along the way. I was surprised too. Life is just full of surprises" Nuclear lets out an unsettling chuckle and smiles an unnerving smile "Next week I've got a media appearance. I'm sure it'll be..... extremely marketable" ..................................... **Did Tony get involved in a Nuclear match AGAIN despite being a 0 rated manager?

With sales in fine Italian suits rocketing in any city with fine, Italian tailors, you'd almost be forgiven for thinking some fine Italian gentlemen had just come into some fine, American money. But not everyone can be happy, as Nuclear Templeton finds himself in the Nuclear Bunker "training" ince again for yet another meaningless fight against inferior competition. When life grinds him down, Nuclear has to find a way to have fun and let off some steam, and it's jus as well he absolutely loves hurting people.....

Heads down, fine Italian hats hiding the faces of fine Italian gentlemen in fine Italian suits flanking The League's champion, Nuclear Templeton who glares angrily down the camera, wiping sweat from his brow as he growls at the camera. "The Juggernaut.... stopped. The Mastodon.... extinct. Brandy... poured out. The False Champion.... broken." "And yet despite my dominance, I was coronated as champion far from the main event that is MINE by RIGHT as the best fighter in The League. I am the champion, AGAIN, and I am ANGRY! Do I not talk enough? Am I not family friendly enough? Are management scared that I'm not suitable to be the public face of the company? Maybe there's something more personal from the flightless bird that runs the place...." Nuclear steps to the camera, seething with malice. "Whatever reason you want to pick, I'm warning everyone right now, that every time I don't get what I deserve, things are going to get worse. I'm going back to The Nuclear Bunker. My 'sparring partners' are going to get choked harder. My 'punch bags' are going to get beaten into bloodier pulps. And me and my friends will get rich on the graves of The League's hopes and dreams while you try to find someone to beat me" "You don't have to like me, you don't need to cheer for me, you just need to give me the respect I deserve.

I would say the general wrestling logic, which isn't specific to any promotion, is that whatever happens in wrestling stays in wrestling as part of the unwritten wrestling code because if wrestlers start bringing in ousiders it will destroy the locker room and hurt everyone. So one person gets beaten up? You'll get the chance to get revenge in the ring and we cna make money off it instead of having to pay for lawyers, lose money and deplete the roster. So while it makes very little legal sense, for anyone on the inside of the business taking a beatdown is better for the worker because otherwise their job falls apart. Though when it goes a bit further... yeah, that's a logical issue where you'd expect there to be consequences for a major loss of earnings and evidence as to why. But if you'd get blackballed for doing that? That's the logic I've akways had for it

Nuclear is out here proving that all you need to be the best is anger, a relentess desire to hurt people and some very well dressed Italian friends. You should all learn something from this. Just quit. You don't have enough of any of those things to stop Nuclear.

AH yeah, I got confused with Man Of Steel.... this is why I shouldn't try to read and think after work 😛

While Nuclear is clearly and obviously a babyface due to his heroic actions in tackling League corruption / bias and being the winningest person ever.... is he set as a heel or face because I don't remember what he's been up to with his adrenaline in a while 😛

On a personal note, I can't believe that Brandy let Nuclear down like this! Why oh why can't Nuclear find a deccent tag team partner **studiously ignores own attributes** We all know that Nuclear can't be wrong, so it must be the children! **ignorance intensifies** If only there was someone in The League as good as Nuclear is so that we could form a good team! **ignoring other people reaches max level** Oh well, time to take out the trash.....

The important thing is that you are having fun And also that Nuclear and his fine mysterious Italian friends continue to win even if it's clearly via Steinermath But for real, I had asked about the long term plans to keep balance within the game and it's good to see ideas for how to do that. Definitely a fan of the retroactive re-evaluations and if it takes dropping the 100 to bring value back to the mid-range moves then I'm pro that too
