Conflicting Road Agent Notes?

[James Casey]

Have just booked my first show using the War's End data, and in a six man match I got the following notes: Shane Helms seemed off his game tonight. The performance of Shane Helms stood out as being good. Is Shane Helms so good that even on an off night he outperforms the others in the match, or is there another explanation?

I think you hit the nail right on the head. I think even though shane was off his game he was either A) so good he was still good. or B) his opponent(s) lowered themselves and jobbed even harder to make shane look good.

It's the obvious. If you booked a match between Triple H and Funaki and Trips was "off his game", wouldn't he still look good (in comparison to Funaki)? You get the "The performance of X stood out as being good" types of messages when someone in a match is head and shoulders above the others. That could mean overness or in-ring skill or both (depending on what your product places the greatest emphasis on). The notes don't conflict. It's possible for some workers to be at less than their best and still outshine other workers, isn't it?

Well, the other workers in the match were Kaientai (including Funaki...) Jerry Lynn, myself and Chavo Jr. Interesting to know that Shane Helms is that much better than anyone else - Means even bigger things than I already have planned for him.

I believe the "off his game" note comes from the consistency stat, and if you booked the match for Helms to be "kept strong" I guess it's possible... but what do I know...
