Dusty Finish chart

[Gunslinger]

JMello's post about his tag title scene got me thinking. Has anyone made a Dusty Finish chart that could be used to prevent undesired title changes?

Interesting idea but never done it.

Ya know I have thought of such a chart myself. I think it would be brilliant! Maybe if no one has worked on one we can all come up with one and then get someone to pdf it.

I could PDF it if someone makes the chart, if you guys want.

The closest I've seen to something like that would be along the lines of the two charts below. You could use them as a fail safe after a Champion is pinned or submitted...giving you the 'potential' for a change in result without the guarantee (which would kill the point of running the match).

I made a few charts for this subject that I'll post later, but I found this in the resource archive...

* Dusty Finish' roll: Dusty takes the blame for overusing this
one, thus the name. JCP era fans from the 1980's will recall
Flair getting pinned in title defenses, only to have the ref
'reverse the decision' at the conclusion. Usually this was done
by a revived ref. Other times an official from the state athletic
commission (citing blood loss), other times from one of the suits
in the back.

Dusty Finish Roll:

After a Champion has been pinned, the announcement is made
that a NEW Champion has been crowned. In the midst of the
celebration, an official runs in from the back & is seen speaking
with the ring announcer.

Roll two dice. Here's comes some double trouble for controversy:

If at or below the Champions dq: The Champion is disqualified
for something occurring in the match, he retains title!

If at or below Challengers dq: The Challenger is disqualified
for something...again Champion retains!

* False finish' roll: Championship matches can be chaotic. Many
times matches will feature false finishes where the challenger
hits his finisher, the ref counts three...then REVERSES his call
immediately. Giving the Champ a 're-roll' false finish option once
per match may just save his title!

* 'Bungling ref' spot: Fans will recall Ric Flair's spot where he
would push the ref (Tommy Young, Hebner, Patrick) only to get
knocked down himself when the ref returned the favor! Either on
offense or defense, let the Champ 'push his luck' and roll for dq.

* 'Human collision' spot: With the action fast & furious, the Champ
can resort to desperate measures. Many times this causes the ref
to be KTFO at the most important times. Give the Champ the option
of a 'human collision' roll where he can retake offense...or plant
the seats for wither an immediate (or Dusty style) DQ finish.

Human Collision roll:

When on time during the match, while on level 3 defense, the Champ
pushes the ref into the middle of the action, causing him to be
potatoes in the process.

i. Action continues WITHOUT the ref from 10 consecutive moves.
No pins or submissions, only increasing fatigue at this point.

ii. Ref regains consciousness, roll dq for BOTH wrestlers!

What's funny Big Bri is that I'm the one who actually wrote that years ago...and didn't even remember! Good catch.

LWPD's been working too hard:)
Fun chart.
