So, a few quick questions on general info stuff that came up while thinking of running a game for not-quite-wrestling friends:
1) How much should players have control over NPWs they gain from advancements? Is this one of those “depends on Creative” situations? NPWs are generally there to advance the story, so would they only be doing big things if it has a payoff?
2) If, say, due to hard moves piling up or story reasons, someone should lose their NPW manager/valet/etc, would you give them something to make up for it?
3) How important are controlling the gimmick changes from one to another? Were there some mechanical choices involved, or is it purely a logic/story thing?
4) Is there a gimmick simplicity spectrum? I know there’s some general suggestions, but I’m always worried I missed something that I’m always worried about.

If you had to create your own wrestling fed from scratch, but could recruit ANY WRESTLER EVER, from any point in history — so you could have mid-80’s Jake The Snake alongside post WWE-Bubba Ray / Bully Ray, or whomever you wanted, and money was not an issue… who would you pick? Who would be your top ten talent?

What’s your favorite stupid thing about wrestling? A terrible gimmick, a silly match stipulation, a ridiculous storyline?
Wrestling is dumb, which is why it’s great. This thread is about dumb stuff that makes you smile.
I’ll start! One of my favorite dumb things is “entrance music distracts a guy so he gets rolled up for the pin.” It’s so dumb! Aren’t these trained professionals able to ignore loud noises while they’re trying to wrestle? But it works every time!
What about you?

I’m linking to a good writeup of the card, and honestly, there’s the potential for at LEAST 3 match-of-the-year candidates on this card.
