I am answering from the LOW side... I use most everything. The only things I can think of that I don't use is the choice situation charts. I've always felt that these charts took away from how accurately the movesets represent the wrestlers. It is odd to represent a move on a card and then tell us to roll on a chart that makes us choose from two other moves that may or may not be the types of moves that wrestler would perform. I imagine that when playing COTG, it doesn't matter quite as much because they are fictional characters, not real life wrestlers who have established movesets. Funny... I felt the same way... So, here is how I handled it... I keep the move as it is named on the character's card, BUT I still use the choice situations chart to determine how potent the move is... Do the same whether I am playing COTG or Legends... Interesting... I might have to revisit this and see if I like doing it as you have described.

I've always done that for LOW. For GWF, I switch between to give them more usable moves.

Good topic...also from an LOW point of view, I redesigned the Out of the Ring chart to help cut down on the number of disqualifications...was also thinking of redesigning the feud table to better suit my needs as well...sometimes a wrestler has no allies...glad I'm not alone in this type of thinking.

When you use the ch chart, ignore the move on the chart. Just use the move on the guys card. 100% promise you this is all taken into careful consideration when the cards are statted and edited.
Most times the move on the card coincides with the stronger choice. Example: ch D, F and G are usually power moves on the card. Ch E, C and H are usually agility based moves. There are exceptions, but typically, this is the rule.
and if you get stuck writing, just play. Play 5-10 cards out real fast then go back and write them out, letting the dice do the majority of the booking for you. This will help you over the hump.

Yeah... Like I said in an earlier post, that's how I've always done it and it works great from a match writing perspective... When I played COTG in the 80's, I treated the choice situations this way... Even way back in the day, the most important FG philosophy (and tagline) was still the same... It's up to you, promoter!

I use the ch chart all the time, and to make things interesting I always have the offensive guy go for the LEVEL 3 move. So far that has worked out well for me personally.
I find I rarely use the FEUD Table. Most of my angles are based on wins and loses, but I will use it if an angle could benefit from it.

I love the feud table. Granted I will reimagine it based on the wrestlers involved. But I have a couple different feud tables (official and fan made) that I choose from during a match.

I use all the newer fully colored charts (I no longer use the old B&W charts) and I modify wording when it deals with certain wrestlers. I have always liked the CHOICE CHARTS, it gives you that extra possible -3 move. When it comes to the FEUD CHART, I started my EVOLVE Wrestling fed where I must roll SNAKE EYES to begin a feud. So I also like using that chart, now I wasn't using any of the SPECIAL MATCH charts with my EVOLVE fed, but that will be changing in the near future...

I use the original charts. I ignore the DQ on deathjump and roll PIN for countout on the ootr chart. I find these charts leave the match up to cards best.
