Andy "Right Leg" Ridge

[barnestormer]

I'm currently working on a bootleg card for Ring of Honor alumnus Andy "Right Leg" Ridge, based on his Blog of Honor profile page. According to the page, his nickname came from the fact that "he once broke his right leg and the tendons healed together too tightly, strengthening it significantly." His offense consists mostly of various right-legged strikes. This is what I've come up with so far, but I haven't finished it because I'm still researching his matches on YouTube (I haven't found any of his ROH matches yet, but I've found some from other indy promotions, including a Liberty States Wrestling match in which he took on "Brutal" Bob Evans.

Ropes--B Turnbuckle--B Ring--C Deathjump--B Disqualification--6	Agility -1 Power 0 Cage 3

I've based the agility and power ratings on his strengthened right leg, due to the tendon abnormality. The "slingshot cutter", from what I've seen in some of the YouTube videos I've watched of him, consisted of him "slingshot-ing" himself over the ropes from the ring apron while his opponent stands near the corner and delivering a cutter.

Suggestions, gang?

Looked it over a couple of times, and here's what I've got for you.

slingshot cutter - 3 either has to be below out of the ring or in the #1 slot as a level 2 move. Two finishers is a bit good for him, -1 power is too good and his PIN should be 7. Other than that, you're off to a good start.

For the ratings:
Ropes: B
Turnbuckle: B
Ring: C
Deathjump: B

So, what do you think for power, maybe a 0? I think that maybe that's as low as you can possibly go and still account for his tendon abnormality. In the videos I've seen of his matches, he usually tries to go for the cover after hitting the slingshot cutter, so I think I'll take your suggestion and switch the slingshot cutter and the out of the ring instruction.

Yeah, I was thinking 0 for power. He shouldn't be lower than that. Overall a very good card so far!

I'm going to drop the YAKUZA KICK (0) to a Level 3 move. Since it was originally listed on his Blog of Honor page as being a finisher, do you think it'd be a good idea if I make it an "Add 1" move?

[Deleted]

I'd have it as just a regular Level 3 move.

[barnestormer]

I've added the remaining stats to the card. Let me know what you think.

Right legged stomp should be above the ch F move and into the turnbuckle on L2O. I'd make the snap suplex a -2 move, into the ropes should be option #6 on level 1 offense, and I'd throw (ag) onto one of the kicks. Other than that, pretty good stuff overall!

8 level 3 moves? Wow. And agility of -3 with a power of 0 for a guy who's an undercarder? Strange.

Your right Troy the level 3 number one should be a lvl 2.
