I put this in actual play because it links to what we are doing, but the broad points are applicable elsewhere.
In the upcoming match (or matches) for the Journeyman’s cup I was thinking of having Professor Atomo attempt to get himself put in as guest referee on the basis that he knows a ton about Wrestling Science and because he is less likely to be beaten down by random interference, like The Bones. He would attempt to do this as the Babyface move: Add a Stipulation to a Match. Can he do this? It is worth noting he would be adding a stipulation to a match he is not technically in. What effect would being a guest referee have?
On a similar note, The Clown includes a celebrity Promo move that basically functions as the creation of an exhibition match against or tag teaming with a NTC. It primarily serves to create an interesting story, rather than a material benefit. Is this the only way to have a celebrity come on? Can you envision a mechanical benefit to doing so? I quite like story generating moves, but I am probing the edges a bit.
Lastly, and most selfishly, the dastardly Dr. Moreau was recently revealed to be Professor Atomo’s long time foe, Sharkman. Or perhaps “the evolved form” might be more appropriate. At any rate, he is the current RAD champion, an offense against nature that must not stand. However, with no rankings it is unclear how the Professor will go about combating his nemesis. In short, where does the path to vindication lie?
I think given the context, there’s no reason you can’t wedge yourself into a match in that manner. Maybe if the main storyline was something else entirely, but I’d allow it!
Creative could bring celebrities in, of course. I dunno, I haven’t seen the Clown in play yet so I’m not sure how much it matters! I envisioning the Celebrity thing as a one-off kind of deal, not something you’d do all the time, and so maybe more suited to a character who’s only going to be in one or two episodes?
The path to vindication lies through my booking…book, my friend. I’m not gonna introduce a title-holder and then not have the title matter, you know? TRUST CREATIVE I HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.
