Killing the Business Mod (HYPE for TEW 2020)

[gazwefc83]

Splendid, I think it's still fair to him.

 

While you're at it, can you post Jacob Fatu and Myron Reed's stats? Two of my favorites in all of wrestling rn

 

Jacob Fatu

 

 

Myron Reed

 

[Questlove]

That's sad, I love the Miz. That being said, he is solid yet not spectacular.

 

I love him as a character, but just don't feel like he's a believable wrestler at all. His offense is super weak looking, he never seems to improve and it doesn't help that he uses other people's moves but makes them worse. I really hope they keep him around as a manager when he retires, he'd be amazing in that role.

[DatIsraeliGuy]

Very fair ratings for Reed and Fatu there.

 

Btw don't you think Miz deserves Excellent mic skills?

[Lukkearthur]

I actually think the Miz is excellent on the mic but wasnt sure if an 'A' was too high for him?

 

Id argue and say that the Miz is one of the best on the mic.

<p>I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product on this, and quite enjoying the previews. </p><p> </p><p>

As for the Miz, he looks very solid to me. Attributes are obviously always going to be subjective, but I've long viewed Miz as a prototype WWE wrestler. Basically, a solid and reliable performer who is rarely going to excel. He is much the same on promos - better than most on the microphone, but for me, he rarely breaks into that elite category with truly great promos. </p><p> </p><p>

At the end of day, my preference will always come down to gameplay. I have just as much tendency as everyone to get caught in concerns over the skills, but it really comes down to how it emulates and plays. Even if Miz is capable of being better on the mic than he typically shows, this looks like it would emulate his "level" fairly accurately.</p>

<p>I think the keys for any mod is balance and consistency. I am sure we could all sit and pick holes in each wrestlers’ individual stats, saying X should be Y etc.</p><p> </p><p>

However as long as everything fits and make sense in the parameters of this mod, then that is what matters.</p><p> </p><p>

It all feeds into factors like Broadcasters expectations. For example, if we look at the AEW Dynamite card you booked…it got a B- score. Some AEW fans might raise a Corporate Eyebrow at that and think it seems low (conversely other fans might see that as too high). But the real question should be…what did TNT think of the show? Are they expecting B+ shows as a minimum each time and if so, is it going to be realistic to book a B+ with the roster they have and the stats those workers have?</p><p> </p><p>

It’s obviously a very tough task, but from what I have seen it looks like you’re doing a great job so far.</p><p> </p><p>

Here is one question, it looks like you will be having NXT as a separate company under some form of alliance with WWE, did you ever consider having them as a third brand? I know a lot of RW mods have had similar dilemmas on whether to keep them as an alliance or populate them as a third brand.</p>

Great list!

 

For additions.... hmm....

 

So this is HIGHLY subjective, but definitely can add the attribute for some workers who can do Comedy. The subjective part is probably separating who can/has done comedy in matches and who does it WELL. Lots of the UK scene uses comedy at times. Lots of the WWE has had to do comedy at times - again, its a question of how well.

 

The "Age Is Just A Number" attribute can be applied to a ton of veteran workers across the gameworld that are still good, despite being well past 40. Mexico has quite a few - Negro Casas, Black Terry, Dr. Wagner Jr all jump to mind. Japan also has quite a few, like Taskashi Siguira.

I don't believe Adam has revealed a comedy attribute yet has he?

[Bigpapa42]

I don't believe Adam has revealed a comedy attribute yet has he?

 

I thought I read somewhere in there in the Attribute Lists or gimmick stuff that there was one for Comedy...? Maybe I'm misremembering a suggestion?

 

There is also the In the Blood attribute for veterans who never retire. Lots of those in Mexico and Japan.

[Adelwolf]

I might be in the minority here but would it be possible to have company spotlight or at least a sneak peek of STARDOM?

[nerodragomir1]

The Miz

 

 

Will Ospreay

 

 

I have to challenge the psychology level of Osprey. Dudes like a D- at best. Miz honestly isn't that high either. Maybe a C+ at the absolute best.

[Questlove]

Hard disagree, Ospreay's always been underrated as far as his ability to tell a story goes and he's come on leaps and bounds in the last year. He does so within the framework of the modern flippy style of match, but that doesn't make it any less psychologically sound.

 

Beyond that, psychology plays such an important role in a worker's ability to have top matches on TEW and there's no arguing that Ospreay puts on consistently unbelievably great matches.

[gazwefc83]

I seriously have to question your logic with rating Will Ospreay's ring psychology as awful?

I was going to post something almost identical. The dude is one of the highest rated wrestlers of the year for 2019 and has multiple MOTY candidates. Even if his style doesn't particularly appeal to you, that doesn't mean there is zero psychology involved.
