TakerNGN74 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Just curious Who has gotten them and with what Match I have gotten plenty of A matches in my NOTBPW game but never an A* Match so I am wondering what matches have given people this rating.

MJStark Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Rey Mysterio & Sonjay Dutt vs Jim Morrison & Jimmy Jacobs in a highspot match in the RW Nov 2009 mod usually gives me an A* match as long as I have a couple of A* rated angles before it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristram Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Angry Gilmore and Remo v Jack Geidroyc and Valiant achieved 100 in number grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 The only A*s I've ever had were in RW mods, and honestly I don't count getting an A* match in the majority of RW mods an achievement. "Oh really, a throwaway midcard match between Haku and Al Snow was an A*?! AMAZING!" No. That said, I almost never spend any amount of time with National or larger promotions, and odds are you'll be one before you have an A* (though I'm sure it's not needed). Maybe I'll start a game with GCG like I've been kinda itching to... I'm sure I could get them in position to bust out a few A*s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakerNGN74 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah Like I said I have gotten a few A matches with NOTBPW usually between Jeremy Stone and Dan Stone Jr. however I have never gotten an A* Match so I was just curious to see what others have gotten thanks for the responses.

The Masked Orange Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Jack Bruce defeated Squeeky McClean and Enforcer Roberts (SWF Let The Games Begin, October 2010) A* Jack Bruce defeated Valiant, Angry Gilmore and Squeeky McClean (SWF Welcome to the Jungle, August 2010) A* On a side note, Squeeky McClean has gotten to number 4 on 2010's power 100! and Enforer Roberts is number 7! They are the top two SWF guys on the power 100 (off memory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alden Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 With swf *supreme challenge* i got christian faith vs jack bruce as an A* but that was a super build and two A and one A* angle before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamelessposer Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 never have gotten one, but once I quit the WWE, the computer puts them out like no ones business You might want to tell whoever made that data set. Something has gone seriously wrong if a promotion can routinely pull off A* matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcizo Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 The weirdest A* match I have got (I've only had 8 of them) was between opener Banky Bremner and Midcard Omezo Shikitei. Neither have amazing stats but they had great chemistry and Shikitei had great chemistry with his manager. They lucked out on not getting hit by the lack of psychology dice roll and Banky's 98 selling ensured they weren't hit by that. For a long time it was the best match in our promotion, despite being a six minute squash match, which was kind of dispiriting. Our top four matches (all 99) now have involved loanees from TCW (Vessey or Gilmore) against my top guys. Both Gilmore and Vessey have 90+ psychology and great basics as well (In my game Gilmore has been wrestler of the year about 10 times - he pretty much has A* in all performance skills and B+ in technical). To get an A* it seems like you have to get everything right (which is as it should be really). You can't get hit by a lack of psychology or selling note, you have to have the right length match, not be playing to a burnt out crowd, etc etc. The dirt sheet really helps you see what went wrong if you didn't get an A* when you feel it was a possibility.

Comradebot Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 You might want to tell whoever made that data set. Something has gone seriously wrong if a promotion can routinely pull off A* matches. In that case, someone should tell Ryland to take a look at NOTBPW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 You might want to tell whoever made that data set. Something has gone seriously wrong if a promotion can routinely pull off A* matches. It can be an overpowered mod. It can also just be a circumstance that can develop. In a popularity-based promotion, getting the overness of some skilled wrestlers up to A/A* can make very high grades common and easy. Not that you should be getting A* every week, but they become less rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br26 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 closest I've gotten is a 97 with a Bret Hart/Chris Benoit match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungner Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Closest I've gotten is 96, with a match between Chris Jericho and.... Finlay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstarr187 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I got one out of Low Ki vs. Mysterio after a whole lot of A angle ratings. The next closest I've gotten lately was a 96 with Benoit/Malenko vs. Los Guerreros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Only A* I've had in TEW '10 was a 3 on 3 elimination match in my current WCW game - Quentin Queen, Chris Morrisette, and Bruce The Giant def. Jay Chord, Spencer Spade, and Primus Allen Spade and Chord have excellent chemistry as partners, Allen and Bruce were way over with their menacing angles, Morrisette was really over, and I was building Quentin Queen up to be a star. It happened on live TV on our Thursday Takeover show in October 2019. closest I've gotten is a 97 with a Bret Hart/Chris Benoit match. What mod is that? Sounds like a good one for Benoit/Hart to get a 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristram Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I picked up a 97 last night when I was playing for a match between Rich Money and Marat on Supreme TV. Pity I used it as a hot shotted match to open the show, rather than as a semi-main or main event. Usually Marat does ok for me, but I have more reliable workers up the card so I was astonished by the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakerNGN74 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 What road agent notes did you use for that match if you dont mind me asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritwik Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Angry gilmore is my A* match machine, having got them with Jack Bruce, Christian Faith and Eddie Peak so far. I think I have got a couple of other A* matches as well [5 months into my SWF game]. If I remember right one involved Enforcer Roberts and Christian Faith.

ritwik Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 What road agent notes did you use for that match if you dont mind me asking 22-24 mins [wrestling time], slow build, open match, either decisive or tainted finish. Usually preceded by a semi main in the 80-90 range and a 100 rated angle. Usually my third last match is a cool down match [i try for 60-70 range], followed by strong angle, semi main, very strong angle, main and another very strong angle to close out the show.

tristram Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I use road agent notes sparingly to be honest. I can't remember my exact booking for Marat and Rich Money, but from my memory I think it was booked for 8 minutes, Rich Money the victor, and if anything might have been overbooked. I didn't go script because Rich Money is B+ in psychology at this point, and I didn't go call in the ring as Marat's psychology is pitiful.
