"X was penalised for chemistry (fades due to manager)."

[Greylocke]

First time I'd ever gotten this note in the Dirt Sheet. Anybody has any idea what that means? The wording sounds like a penalty has been cancelled out, but it's still listed as (-) in the Dirt Sheet. So does it still bring down the match?

[Beejus]

Yes, though maybe not as harshly as a (-) makes things look. "Fades due to manager" I have always thought of as the client doesn't perform to his best when they have a manager because then they don't have to do as much, letting the manager do more of the work. So your penalty is the wrestler half-assing it because they have a manager.

It is a penalty. It means the worker was overshadowed by their manager's ability and so faded into the background by comparison.

<p>Also, is there any difference between this note and the "(overwhelmed by manager)" note that I've seen a few times? Or are they actually the same and just a manner to describe of <em>how much</em> a worker is being outshined?</p><p> </p><p>
