hrdcoresidebrns Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 A random Cornellverse question for kicks, but I'm curious if anybody has a clearly talented worker that, for some reason or another, they've never found a real role for? Personally, mine would probably have to be Buddy Garner, although (sadly) I also tend to struggle with ideas for how to use Eisaku Kunomasu, aside from just sticking them both in random matches. Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlawson Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm a HUGE Adam Matravers mark, but I can never really use him in storylines, or I just end up not using him. I know he's great, but I just don't seem to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtm2k6 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Squeeky McClean. I'm SWF, and for some strange reason I just can't find much of a role for him. I have him hosting a talk show, and because of good entertainment skills, he's now A/A* overness. But hardly has a match. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonmack Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 JD Morgan. SInce I love traditional type feds, I almost always sign him when I hit regional, but he usually ends up as the main event gatekeeper despite his skills, as there is always someone just a little better that gets the main title runs.

NoNeck Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Really, Buddy Garner and all of the other high level badasses are impossible for me to book past a certain point. I love them, theoretically, but beyond them taking a couple of clean losses, I am stuck. Kind of like how the WWE has bunked Umaga and turned him into a jobber to the stars; that's where I'm always left with Garner, Remo, Frehley, etc. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabataged Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Steve Flash and Jungle Jack. ALWAYS sign them but never use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxRobbie Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've always liked Thomas Morgan, but he doesn't ever develop quickly and aas it is now in my dynasty, he's almost 37 and stil la good worker. But I never quite find a place for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praguepride Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Dusty Bin. He's almost too good, I just don't know what to do with him anymore :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcK Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Funny you should say that, because Buddy Garner and Eisaku Kunomasu are my top two guys right now :D For me it's Mito Miwa. He's an awesome worker by most standards but next to Kunomasu, Mushashibo, Garner, Inukai, Koiso and Kawashima he never really gets used in any significant way. Washi Heat too; he's damn good, but seems perennially in the midcard with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordprimeau25 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 This sounds familiar... Rename the post- Do you misuse anyone like the fed misused Jason Reso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've always had trouble with Steve Flash too. Maybe it's just because I'm playing as TCW, but his low popularity and age make it seem not worth pushing him, so when I do use him, he's a jobber. Gets good match ratings, and I'd rather pay someone good to do the job than someone who sucks. In TCW I also picked up Bulldozer Brandon Smith and never found space to use him. In NOTBPW, I guess the closest I got to misusing someone was Trent Shaffer, who I picked him up with K-Squared as my face jobber team, but apparently some people push him more. Jeremy Stone also never hits the heights he could. To me, Dan Jr. is the star, and Jeremy gets fed to the Main Event Heels... I feel kinda bad about it.

Basmat01 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Rod Remus and Remmie Remus I always hire these too in the hope that the one that wrestles (forgot which one lol) becomes a really good worker and the other into a really good announcer/manger but never really seem to get around to using both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Just managed to sign Marat Khoklov in my USPW game, thanks to I think BHOTWG not resigning him (atleast I think that's who it was). Seemed like he's a perfect fit for USPW. Think I've finally decided maybe to use him and the now clientless Shane Sneer (since Jesse Christian up and decided to sign a developmental deal elsewhere). Make Shane some sort of communist, have Khoklov be his Soviet monster. And currently, I have absolutely nothing planned for Bruce the Giant since he dropped the belt to the now insanely over T-Rex. But since someone mentioned him, I do happen to have Steve Flash, who just ended a huge best of seven with Java over the National title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggaloninjalee Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 In my TCW game I brought back the Vessey Bros. but I can't have them make singles runs. I want them to stay in my tag division but they have won the titles a lot and so I don't give them the titles lol. Basically they win and win and win some more then lose a title match and then win some more. It has been helping get my less over teams up though.

Shmoe Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I always seem to use good workers. I know people just call you a noob for only pushing the guys with talent, but thats my idea of wrestling! As for BBS, in my current game he's popping off B+'s to A*'s in a cult fed, so he's done pretty well for me. To be honest, the best worker I don't use is probably Wanda Fish and Black Eagle. I love both of them but I can't seem to find uses for them that go outside some wins and jobs to the main eventers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1PWfan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Cal Sanders is one guy I generally avoid. The lack of star power counts against him, and he doesn't generally fit with the promotions I play as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg McNeish Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Jungle Jack. I always sign him, but he always ends up staying in permanent midcard limbo. I play as TCW, and it's rare that he ever gets a glimps of the International Title, let alone an actual push. He's basically my Val Venis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's perfect for the arrogant d*ck heel role, and has talent to spare. As for me, it must be Kashmir Singh. I signed him way back at the start of my MAW game and booked in him in his first show, where he got a C+. And then somehow I didn't use him again for the rest of his contract. About five years later I picked him up again, but he was the one guy signed to MHW on my roster, and they held shows the same day as me. As I couldn't move to other days without bigger scheduling conflicts, he once again ended up just sitting out his contract, making sporadic appearances on my monthly super shows... I would have [I]liked[/I] to use him - I just couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3LSHY Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 In a split up WWE game, running Smackdown, i changed the product and brought in all the best Lucha Libres.

D-Lyrium Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Barry Kingman. In every 4C game I start (which is a considerable amount), he always gets left out. I usually sign Morgan (Thomas. And JD for that matter...), and he and Joey Poison are usually my main guys, leaving poor ol' Barry out in the cold. Or, more usually, out in the dark. Beating up people like Stretch the Chicken Boy and trying to teach them to wrestle. It wouldn't be so bad, but daddy Kingman is my road agent ¬_¬ Although I think it's clear even to Ray that his son isn't going to be as great as he was.
