Rathen4 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm trying to use managers to help build up some characters via assisting ringside - but have no idea what stats are important in a manager. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonmack Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Generally, depending on the type of promotion you are running, You want Charisma, Mike Skills, and acting if you have an entertainmnet based company. Respect would be good, and overness if they have it is great. Mostly, a manager is there to provide the speaking ability for wrestlers with great skills or overness, but no charisma or ability to cut a promo. Rarely, there is a manager good enough to overshadow his wrestlers, i.e. Bobby Heenan, but that is uncommon. In game, what a manager can do is help a wrestler improve their charisma, acting and mike skills. for example Steve Flash is a great in ring performer, but has E's across the board for entertainment skills. Since he had good chemistry with Karen Killer in my game, I paired them up and used them in a bunch of angles over a couple of game years. The angles stunk at first, but I got a message that flash improved in entertainment or acting or charisma after almost every segment, and eventually I had him up to C's across the board for his entertainment skills.

Sudo_Nym Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 See, and here I purposefully keep Flash away from Mics, for fear that if his skill increases too much SWF or TCW will steal him from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 What makes a good manager? First of all, the promotion. If you have a promotion like NOTBPW or ROH, having a manager has no effect on your performance whatsoever. So don't bother signing them. @sudo nym: that's pretty retarded lol. You might as well sign someone who sucks, since you don't use them anyways. :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angleless ROF can still see a manager benefit a performer they click with in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtm2k6 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Ringside performance of a manager can also lift the match. Carl Batch does it for me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordprimeau25 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I actually have a follow up question for this... I have a worker who has all B or greater in mic, charisma, and acting. I actually chose to push him as an authority figure, (was this a bad idea? should an authority figure have different traits?) and he has not gotten any increase in popularity. Recently I had this heel authority begin managing a tag team and every match it says he does great work and ringside and works very well with the team I have him with. Yet still he is not gaining popularity... I am sure there is a simple solution to this. I am inclined to change him to a manager as he obviously is not well suited to be an authority. What kind of worker is well suited as an authority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Stranger Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Managers don't seem to get a popularity boost just from acting alongside their teams. Make them active parts of promos, etc, and that should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like Rip Chord and Sam Strong are perfect at the start for their feds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
