I try to do what I think that wrestler would be most likely to do. So if it is a clean wrestler, I try to not have them throwing their opponent out of the ring unless they are really pushed. Sometimes wrestlers don't wrestle to win. Sometimes they are most interested in inflicting punishment, humiliating their opponent or proving a point. This is how I do it too. In my fed, if someone is a true babyface (Endgame, The British Bulldogs, etc) they wouldn’t throw anyone out of the ring unless they get very very frustrated. If they are an anti-hero babyface (Wolf, Overtime, Randy Savage) they would throw their opponent out of the ring more often. Heels in ed do it all the time (The Gladiators, Iron Sheik/Nikolai Volkoff). But I always think about the wrestler and what they’d do. Also the situation. Falls Count Anywhere Match? Both Heels and Babyfaces would throw opponents out. Unless it’s a battle royal. Then everyone would throw everyone out of the ring every time. To win.  |

I sort of roleplay it instead of making a purely tactical/strategic/meta decision.
If it makes sense for a wrestler to attempt a throw to the ropes, I'll throw the opponent to the ropes...even if they have an A rating.
Faces rarely roll out of the ring on the (lv) option, unless they're really getting hammered, are sort of a "wildman", or it's some sort of grudge match.
and so on and so forth...

I play my fed like a shoot and, like others have mentioned, play like I think how a wrestler would decide. You get some crazy results, like Lou Thesz losing the LWF title to Nikolai Volkoff, sending him into a tailspin…but that’s the fun of the game

Sometimes they are most interested in inflicting punishment, humiliating their opponent or proving a point. Absolutely agree w this. Some guys like the Mad Jester, Mayhem and Screwjob who treat DQ losses like victories when the opponent is left down and hurt, possibly injured. |

It is nice to see that, when playing solo, the vast majority take the integrity of the game serious.

Great topic. I tend to look at it tactically but also factor in the wrestler personalities like many others do. So Mutant would not necessarily think twice about throwing someone outside or into the turnbuckle even if they had an A rating. I don't do it all the time but many heroes will roll outside the ring when under extreme pressure if they roll the (lv) option but just do it less. My one exception being Archon (i am in 2106). He never ever leaves the ring because of his personality and it was, I think, written so in the handbook.
Hero managers like Lord Nexus, Star Warrior and Destructon 3000 rarely distract or interfere. Unless the other guy has done it first. Then that is a different story. Although sometimes Lord Nexus never does. At this point he is just too much a man of honour and believes in coaching and not interfering from ringside

I like the uncertainty of the dice rolls. But sometimes the dice become bogged down in reptation. Some cards click better than others. So, I forget the (c) and let the face number play out as a change of pace...Then again it is your game you play as you feel is right!

Some guys like the Mad Jester, Mayhem and Screwjob who treat DQ losses like victories when the opponent is left down and hurt, possibly injured. In one of the sets (Maybe 2096?), one of the wrestlers—I’m pretty sure it was Splatter—said that to him, a DQ was like a win. This inspired me to start tracking the “Splatter Standings” where rankings were determined by adding (Wins + DQ losses) divided by the total number of matches someone has wrestled. I didn’t do it for very long, as it was double the work, but it was fun while it lasted. |

He was watching a tournament match between Mad Jester and someone else. Jester lost by DQ and Tom proudly exclaimed “But that’s like a win for a guy like him!” Changed my view on everything w guys like Splatter, Jester etc… |

I remember Tom saying something like that....good stuff....works well in Legends as well for guys like Wild Bull Curry or Ox Baker.
