Hive Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 RAW running diary... Flair debuted a new gimmick.... it got a B- ... **** Yeah!!! Good Gimmick Bonus!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'm a bit confused here... are you legitimately ecstatic over a B- gimmick or are you being sarcastic? I myself had gimmick changes on both Christian Cage and Matt Hardy at last Impact!, with both of them getting initial A's... of course, I haven't had any such success when changing gimmicks of any of my high profile workers. I think I got C+ on both Vader and Nash when changing those. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got C+ on both Vader and Nash when changing those. *sigh* Both really...I mean I have had most of my gimmicks get a C+ which is, if you read the dirt sheet, giving me a - in the match ratings, so in that sense I'm happy to get a B- and bonus for good gimmick But a little sarcasm too, as I can't figure out why it's so hard to get good gimmicks for wrestlers ('cause yeah, Ric Flair could never pull off a 'Nature Boy' gimmick ) And I have got a few A's also. Unfortunately it guys was Chris Candido & Savio Vega, not my main eventers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Savant Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I can't figure out why it's so hard to get good gimmicks for wrestlers ('cause yeah, Ric Flair could never pull off a 'Nature Boy' gimmick ) This is (in part) effected by your avitar's creativity rating. Off the top of my head I can't remember exactly how the mechanic works, but I know there's a cap at C+ (66) that (I presume) you can surpass with greater frequency once your creativity is rated higher than the 5/10 it is now. Hardcore Holly defeated King Kong Bundy in a Street Fight in 8:25 by pinfall with after an Alabama Slam. Holy ****! Holy ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackKnifed72 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Holy ****! Holy ****! Hardcore Holly is on a roll....so it's not slamming Andre at Wrestlemania III, but it just adds to his resume... So far, my fastest risers in terms of overness, off the top of my head, without looking at the data: "Road Dogg" Jesse James Hardcore Holly Triple H Joey Styles Vince McMahon Sadly Luger (B to A) was on this list, Raven (C- to C-) is not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, Road Dogg has jumped from iirc D- to B- Do I see Doomsday outgrowing his partnership with Abyss soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 IDK, Road Dogg has jumped from iirc D- to B- Oh it's that much? Impressive. Then I think it's roughly the same. Do I see Doomsday outgrowing his partnership with Abyss soon? Not likely, no. I have no interest in him as a singles competitor. Never really liked him, to be honest, and wouldn't really know what to do with him as a singles competitor. I do like him in this tag team, however.

Rick Savant Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yeah. I'm having the same problem with Solafa Fatu Lua. The fans love him and seem to care nothing for his partner Samula. Of course, he hasn't reached anywhere near the B- overness that your guys have as every time he hits the C+ region an unfortunate loss to a more skilled in-ring worker brings him back down closer to his partner's level... Poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackKnifed72 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I must admit Jesse James may be experiencing the "Billy Gunn effect"...despite matches (either against or as a partner) with Hulk Hogan, The Giant, Roddy Piper and other top stars, he has been at B- for quite awhile...hope it's not his cap but, if it is, B- pop, good entertainment skills and ok ring skills = Upper Midcarder in the WWF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Here's an interesting tidbit I fell over today: some people claim to have seen Owen Hart's ghost in the rafters of the Kemper arena in which he fell to his death. Btw, remember our talk about planning ahead? I have 5 matches planned for my next PPV already, and 4 for the one after it. And I now have the next 4 X Division champons planned as well. And the main event of my next 4 Impacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the main event of my next 4 Impacts. While I had only a rough idea of the matches for my next PPV, the Luger thing has thrown it up in the air...I know, however, that there will be a battle royal of some sort, the winner of which will recieve the coveted 30th spot in next month's Royal Rumble...sticking with the Season's Beatings theme, all matches will have some sort of stipulation, hardcore, ladder, cage etc... ...

Hive Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Really? Yeah I fell across the rumor while reading a bunch of wrestling rumors of varying credibility. Most of which had drugs and/or sex and/or violence as the main subject. While I had only a rough idea of the matches for my next PPV, the Luger thing has thrown it up in the air...I know, however, that there will be a battle royal of some sort, the winner of which will recieve the coveted 30th spot in next month's Royal Rumble...sticking with the Season's Beatings theme, all matches will have some sort of stipulation, hardcore, ladder, cage etc... It's really too bad that Luger is as over as he actually is, as I think it will be extremely difficult for TNA to sign him. You should job him on his way out. Have I mentioned, btw, that I'm utterly shocked that you turned Flair before having a PPV Hogan vs. Flair matchup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should job him on his way out. Thought about it but, figured I'd "do what's best for the business" and let him leave strong (he did lose to Flair then get Pedigree'd to a steel chair by Triple H, does that count?) Have I mentioned, btw, that I'm utterly shocked that you turned Flair before having a PPV Hogan vs. Flair matchup? My desperate need for another main event face out weighed any possible gain from a Hogan/Flair match...not to say it still wouln't happen somewhere down the line ...

I'm just not sure a cult company can sign a guy with A or above overness... and is it really best for the business to make WCW the only company he can join? I'm sure Billy Kidman wouldn't mind if you job Luger to him... would only be fair to close the storyline before leaving, anyway. My desperate need for another main event face out weighed any possible gain from a Hogan/Flair match...not to say it still wouln't happen somewhere down the line But now that you lost one of your top heels, don't you regret turning him?

JackKnifed72 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The WWF is already quite heel heavy, so no regrets, plus it's Ric Flair...who's to say he will STAY babyface after his feud with Arn is over? ...As far as Luger, it has always been, imho, one of the worst things in wrestling to simply "job" a guy out when he is leaving. Luger did the right thing, and so did the WWF, he lost his last match putting over Flair (and Triple H to a lesser extent) and is on his way. Simply having him lose to every lower carder before he leaves would be vindictive and self serving...and the WWF has never...E-E-EVAH done business that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Savant Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I got Jack's most recent save... it's the Nitro after the most recent save that I have. So this isn't my fault... which is a relief. Of course if the save had come back to me then it would have been my fault as I still haven't finished the write up for my last show. The real world + a heat wave that I'm convinced is from the spirit world have really conspired to keep me form completing that... BUT! I hope to have it finished today.
