crayon Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Firstly, what is Enhancement Talent? (no mention in it in the help file as you may have guessed) I've never actually heard of the term outside of these forums. Secondly, if I want to have a backstage interviewer, what push should I give them? I'm thinking Personality, but then I'm not sure if it's more for bigger characters/roles.

As you'd expect, seeing as it is the lowest position on the card, it basically means "complete jobber." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladamire Dracos Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Think Funaki or Scotty 2 Hotty or Val Venus in modern times. A guy who normally doesn't normally win any of his matches (even on B shows) and usually loses in such a way that the winner is made to look as impressive as possible, a curtain jerker, a member of the JOB Squad, a jobber, a ham and egger, etc. If you know what his finisher is and he's performed it successfully in the past year, he's likely not an Enhancement Talent. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Ah okay, that explains it for me pretty well. Never was sure if it was an in-ring or out-ring push (thought they might enhance workers in angles or something). So I'm guessing that pretty much narrows it down to Backstage Interviews being classed as a Personality, via method of elimination :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for somebody to do the speaking for somebody who has weak mic skills and generally help the guy in angles (ala Bobby "The Brain" Heenan or Jimmy Hart) look at managers. You could also use anyone who has the proper skills for the angles you want to use if you want to save money. You might have a Color Commentator do double duty and fill in during interviews, or have a charismatic stablemate work as a weaker members manager (while wrestling as well). Very useful if you're running a smaller promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kirby Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 In '07 I always set interviewers as managers or CC because you can use them more than personalities before you get the "used too much" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You save on a contract, and usually your CC will be better than average at microphone work. At least that's my recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
