[LillaThrilla]

"The Devastation Crew (Batter and Bruise)"

Sounds like a tag team of Mike Enos and Ron Harris.

We need some promos or something to have some idea who these characters are; so far it's pretty much just been match results.

Also, your Workrates seem out of wack because in 2 cards you've had something like 9 5-star matches.

Good points, I'll check my wrestlers workrates.

I based Batter and Bruise loosely on Demolition actually, I even use the original version of Demo's entrance theme (without the lyrics) as their entrance music.

I really have to decrease Farley Sheen's workrate, since he's pretty much supposed to be more of a comedy wrestler/parody like Santino or The Honky Tonk Man

I think I could do a downgrading of Boris Ninkolenko's workrate as well, since he is around the 270+ pound mark, but his background is in MMA and Japanese puro, so...It's really hard to come up with workrates for bigger guys that are supposed to be athletic.

I also think that the high stars may have a bit to do with the fact that up until this point, I have been booking the circuit, maybe I should be simming it instead.

[rey619]

Also bear in mind that the TNM engine loves hardcore matches, and tend to give them a lot of stars.

True. I'm thinking of turning off hardcore mode by default in tweakcirc. I find that too, I usually get high ratings for hardcore matches unless the workers in the match were really crappy. or if it's a first blood or a match where you have to touch four corners (the most I ever got for a first blood match was 4 stars and that was back in the TNMFE days, and I never really did get anything higher than a 3 star rating for say Texas Death Matches, unless the matches somehow involved barbed wire, which I plan on trying to avoid as much as possible.

[rey619]

I don't think it matters that "Hardcore mode" is turned on, but matches without dq or countouts tend to get higher ratings. Same with wrestlers that are designated as "Hardcore wrestler". Long matches also tend to yield high ratings, at least if your wrestlers have the stamina that is required.

No matter anyway, my TNM crashed while I was fooling around with it in safe mode on windows, and I had to reinstall everything This is the main reason why I haven't posted any cards, despite having 4 more cards already ready to be posted (it crashed before I could dump the cards to a file) (I wasn't even running cards in safe mode, I was just deleting some stuff from my database that I wasn't using) Right now I'm working on some old school wrestling exports from the 80s on down, and a few 80s and early 90's jobbers
