I have house ruled two stipulations re disqualifications: (1) no DQ finishes in consecutive matches and (2) maximum of 2 DQ finishes per card. I treat my matches as 100% worked. If I had more DQ finishes, I would need to fire myself as booker.

Honestly, I ignore the DQ a lot of the time unless it furthers what I'm trying to do or I just want the match to be over.

Pretty much how I do it. Feels the best to me.

My rule for dq’s is to roll twice if they appear on charts and once if they appear on the wrestler’s card. I figure the difference is the referee may allow some leeway if things get out of control but not when a wrestler uses a weapon or blatantly illegal tactic.

Gama made his debut, beating Matt Cross by count out after hurling him over the top rope. I also read in Shooters how The Turk would defeat opponents by picking them up and hurling them to the mat, or to the floor, like a sack of potatoes. These got me thinking of possibly making titles change hands by count out. This makes sense to me since you roll Pin for CO's anyway, and since the option occurs more often on the Ring chart. Plus it'd suck to beat a champ senseless, only to not win the belt because he fell to the floor, especially if the champ chose to 'sit out' the count. What does everyone else think? Personally I’m a fan of long title reigns, and for some reason my WWF heavyweight title is getting passed around these days quite often as it is, so I’m good with no title change on DQ, count out! |

Still waiting in Southern Illinois. I hope it doesn't take 33 days like last time! I got mine quickly this time so yours should be close. Still nothing today. I miss the good old days when I got stuff three days after they were sent. |

Rob's post showing the AEW dq results shows how few of these outcomes are used. When they are used it's only for story purposes. Otherwise no one gets dqed or counted out anymore. I could say there's no need for a dq rating on cards anymore. The player can just call a dq during a match as a way to further their storyline. The dq's stand out even more now because there are so few of them and then they just look bad because way worse stuff has happened in matches and there wasn't a dq then. Indies and COTG may be a different story, but legends should definitely keep the dq rating... Regardless of how much or little it's used today, dq's are a huge part of wrestling history. Not to mention that I'm sure I'm not the only one that lets the dice determine the storylines and feuds... I don't just "decide" that there should be a dq for story purposes... I treat it as if it is a real sporting event. YMMV of course. |

I treat it as if it is a real sporting event. YMMV of course. even on the Indy cards, DQ ratings should be retained Although some feds like PWG basically don't have DQs (or when they do it is due to an outside factor such as getting AJ Styles eliminated from BOLA while placating New Japan,) DQs are not that uncommon in some Indy feds. For example in ROH, Beer City Bruiser recently got a preemptive DQ for grabbing a beer bottle from under the ring to use against his opponent, Danhausen won a match against Brian Johnson by DQ, Vincent got DQd against Mike Bennett, The Allure were DQd for spraying Sumie Sakai with hair spray, etc. For example in Impact, TJ Perkins recently defeated Ace Austin by DQ (I think because of Madman Fulton, but I could be remembering wrong) and Eddie Edwards recently defeated Brian Myers by DQ in a match where Matt Cardona was the referee. In Major League Wrestling, DQs are a little more uncommon but still happen. For example, I remember one of the only MLW matches wrestled by Killer Kross ending in a DQ against Tom Lawlor. The frequency of DQs in Indy wrestling just varies by fed (they are basically nonexistent in GCW but happen in CWFH, FSW, etc.) Because they still happen in places, they should be represented in the game. I personally roll DQ twice and as a result I have very few DQs in my feds. |

I absolutely love DQs in the game. LOVE them! Countouts too, but DQs get me excited about potential future storyline possibilities. And when it happens in a random match between two wrestler/teams, I get jazzed that I have a new storyline to work through. I do not have titles change hands on DQs or count outs and wouldn't unless it was a stipulation of that particular match.

DQs are part of wrestling anc can help build storylines, etc, but I don’t like too many. I’ve had a card where in 12 matches, 10 were DQs. That’s when I made a house rule to lower DQs by 1. Not a huge change, and there are still DQs, but just works better for my fed and it really doesn’t give people any advantage because if effects all of the legends. I mean, Ron Hutchinson’s DQ is 3, so lowering to a 2 isn’t a huge difference
