Another newb question: about overness

[jksander]

Okay, so it's now April 2006, I'm nearly a year into my diary. Here's my current overness: US: 6 Canada: 4 Japan: 12 UK: 11 Europe: 5 Now, since there are no Australian feds, I can't improve my overness there, but I'd love to become at least moderately known in Mexico ... but none of the Mexican feds will even give me an audition, because ... you guessed it ... I'm not over. But how else can I get them to notice me, if I can't get over in Mexico without matches in Mexico? Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, after starting out strong, my character has come back to earth, he's now 25-26 after 51 matches. So he's still paying his dues, that's for sure.

I think that as your overness gets to a certain level it can spread to other places. It would make sense to work that way at least. It seems very unlikely that you could realistically have someone with very high overness in one area, but have 0 elsewhere.

It's possible. Look at Giant Haystacks from the UK, not many of us North Americans knew about him. He was WAY over in the UK, then he came to WCW under the name "Loch Ness" and jobbed to Barbarian. :eek:

One way to boost overness in other regions is to win prominent titles in global feds. Global feds are the key because, well, they have global exposure. I won the BHOTWG title and my overness jumped up to 30 in Australia, which has no promotions at all. It just takes time. I'm 11 years into a career and currently have the following overness. USA-100 Canada-99 Japan-99 UK-72 Europe-62 Australia-60 So keep plugging away and having some good matches and you'll get there. After all, it took Chris Benoit 18 years to win the WWE World Title.
