TeemuFoundation Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Don't forget to read the entire post, it isn't all poems about space cats you know! I understood that and I don't have a problem with the feature itself. I was just answering crayon's question. My point was the idea of a booker downright telling a worker to take sick bump in the match is just disturbing to me. Granted, they can refuse, but a competent booker wouldn't even suggest that. The safety of the workers must come first, because they are the ones who draw the crowds and if they cripple themselves taking a sick bump, they won't be able to work to draw in the money. So, I would never suggest a sick bump. But, like I said, it's all about You being in control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my sleazy alter-ego would totally ask a worker to take a sick bump, but only if they were on a PPA, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UkWrestleFan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yes!!! I'm sure I suggested something similar to the sick bumps. Great feature, love it. Can't wait for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 @Teemu: You're right for a promotion like the WWE that has to maintain a certain level of respectability and liability for its workers. But if you were running a garbage indy fed, I'm sure the book would be like: "You, jump off a roof onto your opponent who's on the table covered in light tubes. You, ride this motorcycle through a ring of fire and into the side of that house...." I have a feeling that this is going to be product setting based, where unrisky products/tv networks/PPV will through a fit if you have people diving off of balconies or scaffolding. And while the Foley match was improved, since then the WWE has had some sick bumps (namely with Jeff Hardy) and I would be surprised to hear that all of those were his idea (although it wouldn't surprise me, him being a spot monkey and all ) and that somewhere along the way a booker wasn't like "Hey, want to Swanton Bomb off the top of a ladder?"

Thriller Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 But if you were running a garbage indy fed, I'm sure the book would be like: "You, jump off a roof onto your opponent who's on the table covered in light tubes. You, ride this motorcycle through a ring of fire and into the side of that house...." People working for a garbage company are probably insane enough that they don't even need to be told. But yeah, booker's will often ask their wrestlers to take things a step further because it's a big show or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchHedberg Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Mmhmmm. I really overused sick bumps in EWR. I have a good feeling that that's going to be the case this time around, too. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningHamster Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yes! Sick bumps! Very happy to see this feature making a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladamire Dracos Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Don't think of it as asking them to do a "sick bump" or something specific like a shooting star press to the outside, but asking the worker to end the match with a big finish of some sort and letting the workers and/or road agent work out the specifics. Edit: Erm, yeah, like Thriller said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 a worker can be asked to perform a highly risky and spectacular dive during a match Just thought I'd point out that Sick Bumps aren't necessarily related to the ending, just saying that sometime between start and end, do something crazy ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shooting star to an opponent outside isn't something I'd consider a sick bump. Being told to MISS a shooting star to the outside... That is a sick bump! I'd occasionally use this feature.

I once saw a match from Japan, was either FMW or W*ING and Kintaro Kanemura did a cage dive early in the match, blew out his knee and continued the match HOPPING because he couldn't walk.
