After matches

[sonerich]

Well i'm going through a name change. I used to be Shemp. Anyways i had a question on after mathces. I usually go if the match ends in doubles( 2 4's etc. ) thenan injury can occur. But if not then for after match fights attacks, do you follow a chart or just make up what happens?

[maddog1981]

If it's not doubles I just make something up.

If you have two enemies or a potential story you want, just have it happen any way you want. Way back when I started I would roll the injury/feud table EVERY time doubles ended a match. That turns out kind of awkward when Omega tears into Beast-Rider after a match for no reason!

This is a chart I slightly altered of somenone else's (can't remember who) that I had seen before. Something can happen before or after a match, either way.

*Roll before each match Roll 2d6. If roll is 2-6, roll on chart.

For before the match stuff, there's the Gary Michael Capetta card in one of the Legends sets. It has a chart for things to take place before the match during the introductions. It could easily be altered to be a GWF announcer. Was there ever a card like that made for COTG that I'm forgetting? I don't think there is, correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a live segments chart somewhere around this house?!? I know WTIC Promoter was looking for it too, but at the time he asked me, I still can't find it!?!? I used that for all the drama in my fed.

JMello's is pretty cool too!

[maddog1981]

I actually quit using the doubles rule because in my original fed you could devastate your smaller roster with a series of bad rolls in a very short period of time. Plus, I hate having to strip champions of belts.

[sonerich]

Thanks for the response. Yes to many injuries can ruin the roster.

[jefft]

I also roll injury if a wrestler kicks out of a pinfall 8 times or more in a match...reflecting the fact that they are absorbing a great amount of damage.

I'll just ignore that rule or the double rule if I have too many injuries overall at the time or if its a wrestler thats gone through multiple injuries lately and its just 'gotten old' for me.

[Justin Case]

in the event of using the feud table, I've noticed it's really easy to roll on that chart. I guess doubles pops up fairly more often than one would think. I had a lot of injuries which indeed does kill your roster depth.

So I usually would use the doubles rule when I was doing a Major Card like a PPV or if during a regular card, if the wrestlers were really in a violent feud, say like Bloodline vs. Encubus for example. Any other time, I'd just ignore that rule. It actually made more sense and it worked better in the long run.
