TheTuckerman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ...take one of your lower midcarders/openers/enhancement talents and push them to the moon just for the sake of it? I've got a few games running at the minute and in my SWF game I'm thinking about giving Greg Rayne a monster push, beating the likes of Vengeance, Remo, Rich Money, Jack Bruce and any other big names willing to take the fall. Just interested to see how the game goes, really. Anyone else ever done this with other feds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny magic Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I've done it with SWF before. I signed Gargantuan to be by new monster heel and he started as and enhancement talent so I had to push him to the moon to get him near the top of the card. Needless to say, most of the roster was not pleased they had to job to an unfit, unpopular, unskilled idiot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Its something I've tried to avoid doing. Mainly just because of the possible (maybe even likely) personality changes that would accompany a heavy push. I generally make my guys job their up the roster a bit before they get any sort of push at all. Can't say I haven't been tempted. Especially with SWF, where you can potentially make a star out of anyone, regardless of talent level. And that theory may end up getting tested yet in my diary game.

Condors Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I will usually push guys who are good locker room guys. I really like it if they veterans also (Bob Casey and Madman Boone are a couple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I tend to avoid doing this myself, though in the past I have on a couple of rare occaisons. The real problem is, it can seriously hurt the overness of the guys losing, all so you can get one other person over. I'd much rather try and maintain their overness when I can, and build the new guys up a bit slower. As for Gargantuan... seriously, with him in SWF, you'd probably just need to stick him with a good manager and in a lot of segments rated on Menace. That should be enough on its own to blast his popularity to the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons of Kohral Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yeah, I love doing it. I usually do it with guys 5 and older. An easy ay to do it is with giving them wins against guys like Joe Sexy. His entertainment skills allow him to gain overness really quick by using angles, so he makes up all the overness he lost and can be defeated again.

That 1 Dude Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I've pushed Dusty Bin in previous games. That's always fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolinc Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The only time I really take the time to push someone to the moon is when people retire or are leaving the company. Then I'll job them out to someone I was pushing at a normal level. Seems to work pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisen-verse Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 In my SWF game I linked up Champaign Lover & Gino as a tag team and pretty much pushed them straight away pretty heavily. No win streak kind of thing, but I made sure they were working with highly rated people and ultimately had the two feud it out for the title a year into the game. I didn't see really any change in their personalities then again I wasn't really looking for it. My fav. thing about TEW is "making new stars". That's why creating your own company is best as you can really create a whole roster full of new stars and try to make your own niche within the Cornellverse.

Bigpapa42 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 With Champagne Lover, I think it probably comes down to the fact that he's not that young and already a huge star in Mexico. So giving him a big push probably doesn't affect him the way it might someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeMan Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I always do that. I just love pushing my favourite guys from the bottom to the top. There always are some guys that are in the main event or upper midcard that I don't really need there, or don't want to have them there... So they get beaten by the guys I want to push :) It's a great game, it really seems like you're creating new stars, and it's an awesome feeling to see your favourite guys rise in the rankings :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
