Now, at least in my COTG cosmos, wrestling is real too....but with it comes the expected theatrics and showmanship....and having a split fed for POW allows the best of both worlds. Even guys like Matinee Idol can parade around and act like a goof coming down to the ring for an MMA match, but it's all business when the bell rings. That is the way I have it too. Even in 'real' MMA some guys come out wiith theatrics, where dancing or with silly masks. So yeah, I guess the personality comes from the before and after. But in the ring, it is what ever gets the job done. |

Yeah I've watched several UFC matches and I understand the premise of party in the back and all business in the front.  I never put 1 + 1 together like Turkish was saying about the spear translates into a double leg takedown. Very cool. To me these fighters are defined by their FINISHERS and when they aren't there it's hard for me to encapsulate the character. So if there is any way to work that into their moves it would be ideal, but I understand that some are to outrageous to even work in the proper context. These are really just personnal preference and I really just need to roll out a match to try the mechanics out. |

That's absolutely how I run my feds. Probably to much as the rankings supercede feuds. But if you are the greatest athlete and have no charisma then the GWF won't sign you. Hence someone like Gryt gets a contract. As there are better athletes out there, but the crowd wants to watch him so he still has a job. |

You know, it did occur to me that the "W" in POW would be a point of contention, but I kept it intact just so there would be that tie to the past. Plus it just looks better. (Sorry, Turkish.) |

POW works as you can just say it as a word
POFC is a mouthful.
