Have you ever buried a wrestler on purpose?

[GooverDan]

Whether in the C-Verse or in a real-life mod. Have you ever, by any special circumstance or on purpose, buried a wrestler?

 

In my case, every mod I play from 1998, I make sure to bury Hollywood Hogan, not that he loses every match because he has creative control, but I make him lose his championship at Starrcade in 1997, and make sure he never wins the world championship again. And I make way to give the title to Sting for a while and then to Bret Hart.

<p>I buried RDJ hard for betraying me (TCW) to the SWF.</p><p> </p><p>

He had I think 4 or 5 shows left before his contract was up and I had him buried/dominated on every single one.</p>

Often and I'm about to strike again. Joshua Taylor's contact is up and he has 28 stamina, a highest top row stat of 53 and 73 pop...better get used to looking at those lights Josh.

Oh absolutely. I don't do it often as I try to be a decent human being as a promoter. But whenever I'd had guys I wanted to fire for being toxic backstage, I've buried them sixteen feet under instead. What I do is I take what would otherwise be a random show and have every single last member of my roster squash the offender one after the other. All in succession and culminate the show in the offender jobbing to my UC. After this show is over, the offender ends up fleeing my promotion screaming and hating my UC for life. Thereby saving me the trouble of firing them and never having reason to come back.

I was running a real-world save set in the early 2000's and Reno was on my roster. For whatever reason, he got really toxic backstage and picked a fight with my biggest up-and-comer (a random gen who got one hell of a destiny roll), so I buried the shit out of him before releasing him (he was on a Handshake deal; I was trying to get him to quit/walk out, but he just kept coming back and bitching about me putting Unimportant guys over him when he was rated as Well Known).

Greg Black. I don't dislike him, but he had pop and my top guys (in CZCW) didn't. Three matches and he lost them to Frankie Perez, Aldous Blackfriar, who was a midcarder, and someone else. He left and when Elmo Benson became available, he had no intention of coming back. I wouldn't even have buried him that time: the matches with the Cobras and Rich and Famous (and much later, Natural Storm, the Bumfholes, James Diaz and Logan Wolfsbaine and Matt and Greg).

 

I also did it to Lassana Makutsi too. He came in and within a fortnight got popped by my random drug testing. He went off to rehab for 7 months or so, came back and, when I tested him, he failed again. Next four shows, he lost to my jobbers in dominating fashion, gave him another test and fired him. He was picked up three weeks later by USPW, but his attributes have him down as a former user, so maybe it was for the best?

I wouldn't say "buried," but in a 2013 game started as 2004 TNA I did have Sting and Raven both walk on me because they weren't happy about being jobbed out to the new generation. In the end I got AJ Styles and Punk elevated to the main event by the end of the year, so it was probably worth the sacrifice.

Yesterday I had CWA poach Leftie Wilkes so I maximised the month I had left with him and had him job out to a new guy with no pop who I wanted to be big 4 weeks in a row. I tend to bury older wrestlers whenever I nab them so I can transfer their popularity to good younger guys.

 

Also, even though I feel bad about it, I always bury the Rock City Stars. I always sign them, I love them, but they job week after week to nobodies to give them the rub.

Bunch of choir boys in this here thread. We all know you've held "Pin Jack Bruce" Memorial Shows when he jumps on you, don't lie.

[Poet Justice]

One time Rogue jumped ship to USPW in 2016 and I managed to drop his popularity from a B+ to a D+ by the time he left. Good luck paying him a five figure monthly salary, Allen Packer

[Chisoku]

I picked up Sean McFly in my R2G and have been sapping his popularity for my user character. Worth ut because I mostly use him as a road agent anyway. He's also taken up a couple of protoges so its even better

[Jaysin]

I've buried Jim Duggan and Mongo McMichael more than anyone. I've always hated Duggan and Mongo is one of the worst workers ever to appear in a mainstream wrestling promotion.

Yeah, you have no taste.

[jean-vic]

I only bury workers as a punishment, ala Triple H following MSG just to emulate reality. Pretty ruthless with it as well. Austin turned up to Raw drunk a couple of weeks after he won Rumble 97, so mid push, so I had Bret bury him.

If there's a worker with great stats but a bad personality, I will hire them on a handshake deal and job them out until they ask to leave or I fire them. It means I get decent matches that I can use to put over my long term guys.
