iruleall15 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I have been in MAW for a while and we just lost our TV show. So my question is how much do match ratings play in to popularity increases, TV ratings increases, and other stuff? I didnt notice a difference between my longer A rated matches and my F quick bash out matches. So what exactly does Match Rating play a role in?

Derek B Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 In WreSpi2 they don't matter. In WreSpi1 they did matter but it made no sense in a kayfabe wrestling simulator to have match ratings influence how popular someone got as it ultimately led to people being required to drag a match out extra long to get a good rating. Match ratings are a cosmetic holdover from the first one and mean nothing. Sadly, I can't remember enough about other mechanics to be able to answer many questions but that was an important one at the time and a change that was well received, particularly by me.

Ok thats good news. I didnt want to have to go on a 1 hour match just to get a rating. But does this also mean that I could have an F match and its basically ignored by a show? Like in TEW the match ratings are averaged out. Is this basically TEW from a workers POV? Like do shows have an Overall rating each week? Bc if I can help a company improve its size I will go for a higher rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mharmon99 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 but it should. MAW is a wrestling based company not entertainment. there for it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the original one had you draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag out the matches to get a decent rating. If a Wrespi 3 ever happens, I'd think Adam would improve on this.

D. Boons Ghost Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It has been awhile, but I believe in the first Wrestling Spirit that match ratings also played a part in developing friendships with other wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
