<p>A question which REALLY doesn't deserve its own thread: Are non-rules stipulations separate match types? Like, is a Lower Leaves Town match, or a Mask vs Hair match, a different match type altogether?</p><p> </p><p> It's certainly a gimmick and a unique draw, but on the other hand it's no different than a standard singles match in terms of type, style, etc. The only difference would be, <strong>maybe</strong> Prestige.</p>

<p>So I have a weird issue. I've been putting in decent angles and matches in a 0/0/0/0 game. But for some reason I can't for the life of me elevate any of my workers past 18 popularity.</p><p> </p><p> Nearly my entire roster is 17s, three 18s and I had a 19 for a hot second.</p><p> </p><p> My champ has lost only three matches in two years of weekly and semi weekly shows. He's dominated a few times. But instead of gaining popularity he stays at 18, and my jobbers elevate until they're 18s too, and everyone stays there.</p><p> </p><p> Help!</p>

Is this one of these fancy internet japes I've heard so much about?

He's a user-creation, copied-and-pasted from Vince. And yes, he's written. Edit: Just set it in the editor to Exclusive P.P.A. -- at least then I can check the night of the event, edit his wages down to $0 where I wanted them, and call it good.

I wanted to do a 0/0/0/0 game with owner goals on, but the problem is that my owner keeps increasing his wages to like $14,000. I can edit it with the editor but how do I stop him doing this?

I've had several companies hit Cult as of 1973, but none of them can survive long enough at Cult to make National. Has anyone managed to have a computer-run company hit National, or is this as impossible as it seems?

I'd like to see more kick-outs at one. That's one of my favorite things about Puro that is completely ignored by the US. If they're that tired 2 minutes in that they're almost completely out (2-count) then why can they go on to kick out of 3-4 finishers in a row?

I am surprised to say that I basically agree with the concepts he's referring to. Pro wrestling seems to me to have very few stories, in the long run, for faces. You've got: Comeuppance (cocky youth, bad guy gets his, revenge), Physical Imbalance (overcoming injury, david v goliath, etc), and Going for the Gold. Most motivations I have seen really come back to some interpretation of those 3. There might be some that I've forgotten. But while you always want to have something going on with the title, you don't want that as your Wrestlemania main event, even though the title should be on the line. As I've learned from a lot of people who are much smarter than I am, you want the conflict to build. Maybe you start with a title shot, but then you want to introduce some other elements. Maybe you have someone come in and cost the face his shot. Then you have a different story about Comeuppance, which you then roll into the title shot for WM. The problem being that everyone is about the same size in the WWE right now. You fundamentally can't have, say, Miz-Punk as a David versus Goliath setup. They're the same size. Now, I wouldn't agree that this would cause a slump, it just limits your options slightly.

Theater's not a dead medium. Don't know where you're getting that idea. Also, Smith's not a 'great' actor. Not by comparison to other 'great' actors. He's not Gary Oldman. He's not even Eddie Murphy. He's played his cards right and he's had some success but he's not especially talented and he's not especially memorable as an actor or a musician. He's the Miz of film. Worked hard to get where he is, but in the end he won't be more than a footnote in history.

QFT. It was plain, but it actually played really well to Cena's strengths as a character actor. He was essentially the "serious" Cena everyone likes throughout the whole film.

I'd say he's payed his dues when he doesn't have millions of female fans who don't care that he put his girlfriend in the hospital.

As far as I'm concerned, Punk is the complete package. Is the the BEST worker in the ring? No, I guess not. I'd give the nod to Kurt Angle, probably, as my favorite between-the-ropes worker. But he's got a believable, well-performed arsenal in the ring, he's magic on the mic, he's got a good look, he can chain wrestle, he can brawl, he can do top-rope stuff... Having everything is a major plus.

As I understand it, the championship came essentially out of nowhere, and was a surprise to everyone. There was talk (speculation, obviously) of his being the first person to cash in and lose. So... YMMV.

I find that I don't like anything out of Japan more than the late 80s AJPW matches with Tenryu. :I

Because that's part of the job. You don't get hired at WWE without being willing to make appearances.
