Michael Wayne Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've been trying for a few months game time to get London and Kendrick over. So far it's not happening. They're still in the C range, despite having won all their tag matches. It's annoying the hell out of me. Who annoys you? Who have you tried to push only to see no results for your efforts?

Shmoe Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well, I push London and Kendrick too, being huge fans of everything they've done. I have both up to B's in the UK, and B-'s in the US. Have them win a few singles matches each or whatever. Basically, to get people over I have somebody higher in the card I hate e.g. Great Khali, Bobby Lashley, job for my guys. I have to say though, a guy I could never get over in the CornellVerse are the Bumfholes. No matter how I pushed them, they'd never get over C+.

1PWfan Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 In my 4C game, I tried to push Frankie Perez to the main event, but never got him past Opener. Admittedly that probably had more to do with lousy booking on my part, but it was still incredibly frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad5226 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 X-Pac. I've tried in so many differant games to get him over, but he's a midcard lifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Unlikely that the Bumfholes would have such a low overness cap. Given their starting overness, looks, talent, age, star quality and other factors that contribute towards the creation of the Destiny value... well, it would be almost impossible for one of them to get an overness cap as low as D, let alone both of them. I suspect booking is holding them back somehow... perhaps a dodgy gimmick rating or bad use of road agent notes during their matches. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1PWfan Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 All I can say on that one is that if they were real, what would be holding them back would be their names. I mean. Randy and Zimmy Bumfhole? Why, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnCageX5 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 In my TNA game.. I can never get Daniels into the main event, I've had him beat Sting, Goldberg, Brock Lesner.. even Kurt Angle and yet he is still in the midcards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabataged Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I have got Bumfholes to A* many times, mainly Randy since SWF seems to cut him alot for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprinklefurball Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 That reminds me, I tried to bury khali before I fired him and had Colin Olsen beat him in 5 minutes and had the road agents note as colin olsen wins decisively, and burial of khali, and it said "The Great Khali" came off looking great after this match...and I'm just like wtf...

Brak Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 i always have trouble pushing tag teams, which is ironic because I'm a huge fan of tag wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takertitan Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 yeah tag teams are always kind of a pain to really get really over... I am guessing its because normally i make teams with my newer stars and use tag matches as a way to help 2-4 guys in a match. on a side note, i just got William Heyes and Joss Thompson as a team and they have both slowing sliding up the charts in my CGC game without even getting much TV time.

Carl1000000 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I find it quite easy to get over tag teams, as long as I book them into singles matches from time to time with upper midcarders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazorbeak Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I've gotten both Zimmy and Randy to an A* around the country, so I can vouch for the only thing holding them back being weak booking. I never really used them as a tag team in my promotion though, since Zimmy turned heel almost immediately after I was able to sign Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMAN Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I gave Chance Fortune a godly push that got him main eventer, but no big matches came out of it. And his stats are still pretty average. My JD Morgan push to superstardom went no where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy and Zimmy Bumfhole? Why, really?[/QUOTE] I know. I've never done it. But when I'm playing the SWF I'm always tempted to split the Bumfholes and repackage Zimmy as a would be ladies man under the name Zimmy D. Zeier.

Dischord Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 In my last 07 game both Matt Hardy & London got over without me trying. I actually depushed London a bit because I wasn't prepared to stick him directly into the Main Event. Hardy also got held back slightly, turned and is fueded with Jeff. Why would I hold them back? Because I was pushing CM Punk to the moon. He now has A* overness in the entire US, Canada and UK. B or higher in Japan and Europe. And is about a B- in Mexico.

Chriswok Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I once had a Tag Team of Normen Smiley and D-Ray 3000, and they just kept getting over and over and over, despite getting beat. I think it was their post match dancing that did it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
