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. 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. This is one reason why I do not do up ratings: How to figure in DQ's. Remember in the 1980's when Ric Flair was a heel and constantly got DQ'ed to keep his Belt? He was always rated in the Apter mags higher than Hogan (a "regional champ" in their eyes, go figure) despite a whole load of DQ losses by Flair in the Arena Reports. I'm sure Apter didn't have a formula for figuring out ratings based on win/loss/DQs. I do like the "DQ counts as a win for heels" though. Cool idea. Todd C WTIC |

A wrestler can only use the deathjump chart if he/she has a deathjump-type move on their card (because not everyone climbed up there).
A wrestler tends to leave the ring if they roll "down-3(lv)" because it's their hope of gaining control.
I'm currently reviewing how I decide when a tag is made in tag team bouts. Currently I have a tag out after five moves but I'm thinking of a tag only being made if they roll "hurt-2(tag)" for example, and it works. Or maybe the partner with the lower pin rating starts and doesn't tag out until his rating equals that of his partner's.

This reminds me of a time I had Andre the Giant on offence and choose to do a deathjump per ch G. He was thrown off and pinned. It was both funny and heartbreaking at the same time. But it was not a bad way to end the match. So there is that. |

Lol, the thought of guys like Andre or Chaos standing on the top of the turnbuckle ready for a deathjump conjures up some great images!

Like a Bundy, I picture it a second rope splash |

I always envisioned whenever a superheavyweight climbs the turnbuckle that they never go past the 2nd rope and most likely are trying a 1st rope butt bomb spot. That's a good call. I could see some super heavyweights clumsily attempting a first rope elbow drop or splash or something. Especially if they are to the point where they are desperate to try to get the win. |
