Do most wrestlers graduate from dojos?


Recommended Posts

<p>Well in TEW dojo seems to refer to any kind of training camp or school that appears, so yeah almost all workers would be from some kind of dojo.</p><p> </p><p>

In terms of size of the class it depends on how big the dojo is and how well known it is. Another variable is if the places goes by terms or not. </p><p> </p><p>

Like in most schools most guys just show up randomly one day and ask to be let in, and if they pass the test they see if they survive to the end which can take from like between 6 months to a year depending on how often they're there. </p><p> </p><p>

In Japan I understand it's a bit different, and take a dojo will hold a big try-out and organise the survivors into classes which have more a set time for getting towards graduation as unlike the rest of the world where the wrestling school is probably secondary to a day job a Japanese Dojo is ALL you do, day and night.</p>

This feature was for--and Adam used the term before in relation to deceased workers I believe--"completists". It's good that a wrestler's title/award/achievement space isn't naked, but it is a pain to do in mods.</p>

I always thought it was weird that there wasn't more to how you can add workers to it. Didn't even know that it would show up in that achievement space, so always thought it was purely to check out in the editor. Being for completists makes a lot more sense</p><p> </p><p> Still, hopefully it'll be fleshed out at a later stage, such as being able to tie a promotion to a dojo, and/or being able to at least view dojos and a list of its graduates and wrestlers in-training in-game.</p>

<p>You don't automatically know every rookie in the game. The people you can see and hire are the "creme de la creme", for every worker there you can just imagine that there's a dozen or so hopeless, talentless losers in the dozens of backyard feds that exist in the background.</p><p> </p><p>

What you see are the "professionals." They've risen up to the top of the "amateur indies" and are now doing the circuits of the professional indies/top promotions.</p><p> </p><p>

That's why when a new worker debuts they often have profiles like "made a name for himself in the indies" and comes in with popularity. Where did they get it? In the "amateur" leagues.</p><p> </p><p>

It's not a problem with the game, it's just a matter of perception <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

What I'd like to do is send a scout to those micro-indies and find those guys myself.</p>

<p>But that's the point, they've <em>always</em> existed, you just didn't notice them until their "debut" date.</p><p> </p><p>

You really think someone just stars with awesome stats? No they get that way through experience and training. You don't see them while they're training/working the amateur circuit, you notice them when they actually amount to something.</p><p> </p><p>

Perhaps "debut" date is a poor choice of words. Perhaps it should be "scout date" instead?</p>

To go back to the original question:TEW focuses on the 'top tiers' of the wrestling world. Just like in soccer and rugby (and presumably most sports), there's a massive structure underneath that with thousands of tiny promotions and dojos and millions of wrestlers. But only the ones who make it to the relatively big-time, professional level are included. Just like games such as Football Manager only concentrate on the Football League and Premiership (and lately the Blue Square Conference), that doesn't mean there aren't hundreds of regional leagues below that, it just wouldn't be practical (or even possible, due to the amount of work it would take to research everything) to include all of them.

 

It's the same with dojos. Yeah, pretty much every wrestler has been trained in someone's dojo, but only the major dojos are worth considering in the scope of TEW. Nobody really cares who's responsible for training Ben Williams or Little Bill Lebowski.

You are responsible for causing a paradigm shift in my thought process that saved me loads of work. Although tbqh I'll probably still add dojos for every wrestler eventually ^_^
