CharlieCornell Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 This is a new thread, so people can ask for what skills they would give someone. I'm coming up to Wrestlemania 28, and I'm gonna have the Miz, in Miami talking about how great Cleveland is, and he is inturrupted by none other than Lebron James! Eventually they agree to a match. What skills would you give LeBron?
Eidenhoek Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 LeBron? The basketball player? 80+ Charisma...I dunno how he is on the stick, either that up in the 80s or maybe in the 50s, Acting...prolly not too good (30s range). Physical skills? Power somewhere around 60-70, stamina 80+, Athleticism 90+... Other than that? Don't think th guy can wrestle, so...pretty much everything else will be <20. Oh, 90+ Star Quality, sure, and ~60 Sex Appeal. Ridiculously popular (in the States only?).

You think he is almost locked to become a major champion? According to the help file, and I quote: "Star Quality: His “X factor” in terms of whether he can be taken seriously as a major star."

Absolutely. Aside from in the ring, I think people think LeBron is a star. Could he back it up? **** no! But he certainly has a star look about him, I'd think.
CharlieCornell Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 Thanks guys. I'll probabley give his wrestling skills 30's so the match doesn't bomb completly.

Yes but he has preformance skills on the level of BSS. You cant deny how over he is, and could get should he come to be a wrestler.
CharlieCornell Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 He's not being a full time wrestler by the way, he's just being the the annual wrestlemania celeb match.
Remianen Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 So, you think LeBron James could be taken very seriously as a main eventer in a major promotion? You think he is almost locked to become a major champion? According to the help file, and I quote: "Star Quality: His “X factor” in terms of whether he can be taken seriously as a major star." You're assuming a great deal here. First, you're assuming that that definition applies ONLY to wrestling. While a fair assumption given the context, it's still an assumption. Secondly, you're assuming star quality doesn't translate or change at all. Lebron is a star in the US and as far away as China. Would I put, say, John Cena, on the same level of stardom? Nope. Also, if John Cena has lots of star quality now, did he always have it? Did he have it when he was working under Rick Bassman at UPW? For the purposes of a throwaway wrestling match, I'd give him really high star quality (since, at 6'8, 250 with the agility and grace he exhibits when moving athletically, he does look like a star in his area of sports. His short area quickness would allow him to make moves like an irish whip look really good IMO. His physique is also impressive), sex appeal is season to taste. Give him high-ish charisma (no higher than 80), low mic skill (he doesn't speak very well) and acting, and high physical skills except for toughness. Give him low performance skills (he doesn't sell well in basketball, he'd bomb in that in wrestling), high-ish resilience (85-90), and mid range flashiness (say, 65ish). Besides, in WWE's product, most of that isn't even going to matter. His overness will make the match 'decent'.
Teh_Showtime Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I say the Miami heat flop very well, selling about B+
LoganRodzen Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Not too sure what I'd give him for actual wrestling skills, but his Entertainment (mostly charisma, but definitely some microphone) along with SQ and sex appeal (to the ladies) would all be fairly high. You could probably get some great angles out of the two of them considering LJ would be extremely popular. In order for the match to draw enough heat you'd need to make sure the angles don't bomb so that he and The Miz have high momentum going into the match. Good luck with the storyline. This is actually something I could see the WWE doing in real life. Kudos to you for booking the entertainment-side of things in a way that is realistic. I hope the match isn't too horrible, but as long as they have some (advanced booked) heat, momentum, and popularity - it should work out OK.
PoisonedSuperman Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I know its your game and I don't know how realistic you're keeping the game but I don't think Lebron would be able to do it during the NBA season! I'd get a football player! How about Troy Polamalu?
