Contracts: Wrestler Stat discussion

[Johawn]

I did It's my cross to bear But you said you wouldn't get points for winning titles before this era. D'you mean after this goes into effect (if it does), or d'you mean since the reopening last year?

[Tempest]

Since the relaunch. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that.

Basically guys like me who are *ahem* Grand Slam Champions and won a bunch of titles in the old days are sh*t outta luck. (Granted, its just kinda like Flair or Bret Hart running around, not QUITE in their prime anymore.)

[Danger Liam]

Think we could also incorporate intelligence?

Also I'd like to put myself forward in terms of coming up with clever ways to describe each attribute, for example a 1 for personality means sits on his own in a corner at parties and so on and so forth?

[Tempest]

Hmmm. Not a bad idea, adding intelligence.
AND I agree on the stat specific descriptions. The one I came up was for just to get a general understanding of the concept.

Sounds alright with me, although maybe the TV title reigns shouldn't count, eh? It was defended every week

Must say, I like how I'm an example

So, if we go by Hazard right now... it would be.

Personality: 6/7 (There's one coming out)
Agility: 9
Strength: 4
Speed: 10
Durability: 7
Technical Skill: 7

This was actually kind of easy for me...


Personality: 1
Agility: 5
Strength: 10
Speed: 5
Durability: 10
Technical Skill: 9

[Tempest]

Hmmm.

So, you're saying he's as strong as the Big Show? And personality-wise he's not even slightly appealing? Why would anyone watch him wrestle? You can have a high personality score and not be a people person...just look at Batman. He's charismatic as hell, but not likeable.

Not vetoing your Stats, just making an observation.

Wasn't Kane like that for 4 years or so? Absolutely no personality but strong as an ox and was dominating the WWE? People watched him wrestle because of his power in the ring and his mysterious appeal. Same with Dean Malenko, not so much in the strength department but he had almost no "personality" in the ring but he was exciting to watch because everything he did with the cruiserweights was lightning-fast and was fun to watch. Not to start an argument, but possibly we could try to refine what these stats refer to.

Well to be honest with you, I thought this would be proportional to size and such, strengthwise... I have no reason to have personality for this character, yet at least. He doesn't appeal to the people at all nor has he used a mic yet. I guess I could modify it a bit, but really it'd be a waste sinking points into personality.

Personality: 3
Agility: 5
Strength: 8
Speed: 5
Durability: 10
Technical Skill: 9

Is that any better? Really, that's the only change I could see making. If we had another catagory, like the intelligence with the 46 points, then I could see making it a little more balanced, as such:

Personality: 4
Agility: 6
Strength: 8
Speed: 4
Durability: 10
Intelligence: 7
Technical Skill: 7

This way he has personality within the confines of the ring, but beyond that no mic skills or appealing nature. Well this isn't permanent so you couldn't veto it yet anyways
