Braylyt Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 That's what I used to think as well, but I got the note as well when the manager I assigned was significantly lower in literally every stat (and pop), and even had 'excellent' chemistry with the worker.

thadian Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 <p>I didn't know that managers could overshine their talent to a point of being a negative.

In the case of Rusev, there is the added context of 2013+ "Fan Trolling" movement. Rusev might not be as "under" as Mero was and his heat seemed to be killed more by having feuds where "captain obvious" knew he would lose so people stopped caring.

LigerLiger Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Is there any way to consistently push someone without that someone becoming a jerk? I'm tired of building up people just to see them turn into egomaniacs because the "Local Wrestling Federation"(in that case me) has pushed them for two years so that they eventually become the "Small Wrestling Federation" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEgorize Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Here's the problem: my worker A gets win at PPV at his pop risen to 96.

Blackman Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Maybe the match was of lower quality, or maybe he got outshined by his co-worker during the match (despite getting the win)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
