100% keep the heights and weights.. I’m not a fan of adopting anything from the modern era. I’m pretty sure the main reason heights and more so weight isn’t talked about much anymore is because 1) more women wrestlers ever appearing (obviously not going to bill their weights) and smaller guys who can’t pass for a kayfabe weight of 220 or so. You’re just not going to hear guys who weigh 160-180 announced as weighing over 200 when its obvious they are not. You could get away w that when even most of the smaller guys were jacked. |

Agree on all counts. Brad Armstrong was a WCW light heavyweight champion. Today he'd be the biggest guy in the ring in 90 percent of the AEW matches. The newer indie games you could maybe drop the height/weight thing because, as discussed, they don't use them anymore. But it was such a part of pro wrestling from it's inception until the late 2000s that dropping them from the legends side seems like a real bad move. On the topic of the new releases, Doug Somers. Ring rating "C". That...is a thing. Doug was a pretty solid brawler when need be, so that surprised me when I used the cards for the first time yesterday. I don't know if I'll use Sherri as a manager, but I'm definitely going to have to pad them somehow if I want to push Rose and Somers as a team. |

I've made minor ratings adjustments in the past that have worked out well. Using Rikidozan as a heel was much more fun- just had to up his DQ rating to 5 and...voila...instant bad guy.

Give Doug a B Rating sounds fine.
And maybe some changes on pw and ag

I have a push system when I want a guy to do better similar to what Zeke did in the new deathmatch set.

I feel like the weights are more important to me and hometowns. As a fan of watching wrestling during the early to mid eighties on multiple territories (AWA, MidAtlantic, WWF) almost all of them had hometown and weight announced. I am a bit unsure why they never announced heights.

I think heights were saved for exceptionally tall people like Andre, Big Show, El Giante & I think it was Diesel announced as "nearly 7 feet tall". Even now days heights are usually for the extremely tall or extremely short, like Marko Stunt.
I go to a lot of indie shows and they all still mostly do hometowns & weights. I'd rather they stay on the cards.

Thanks to pikemojo, we know have a very official looking book for this four pack! Please go to drive.google.com/drive/folders/1O4GclKR4tJBwXd0CNra4do8PiAXoNsyW to check it out. And he will be working on converting the old Pro Prime Handbook into separate handbooks for each year in a similar format, along with the other special edition cards and Ringside Personnel four pack. |
