If a worker doesn't retire "naturally" (i.e. announce their retirement), I don't retire them at all. At worst, I take them offscreen for a while for a gimmick/persona change and then bring them back when I figure out something compelling to use them for. All of my officially retired wrestlers come back to do programs with the young talent though. I've used Sensational Ogiwara and Thunder Hike in the C-Verse and Megumi Kudo, Jaguar Yokota, Mariko Yoshida, and several others in real world mods. The young talent rarely goes over though.

I'm looking for something for Skip Sheffield in WWE. He's currently working as a generic monster heel, squashing lowercard workers and then feeding my main eventers, but...half my roster is people who do that, and I'd like something to make him stand out.

How about a bodyguard role to one of your Top Heels. Skip would interfere and help win all the matches. Then eventually as Skip gains popularity he interferes in the wrong persons match and a feud begins. Skip now enters a feud with a top face and whether he wins or loses he now is somewhat solidified into the main scene. Then of course if the guy who Skip is suppose to protect could get jealous or something then you have Top Heel vs. His former Bodyguard Skip feud then you might have to turn that Top Heel face but still it would provide Skip with three lengthy storylines.

1) Being the bodyguard until he gets over . Interfering a lot
2) Interferes with the wrong person's match starts a storyline with him and whoever the face is .
3) Skip's client that he is suppose to protect gets jealous and/ or Skips makes a comment that he should be protecting to Skip since he is now the "bigger star". Either which could turn Skip face or keep him heel.

I don't know this is probably wack I just wrote it on the fly.

I'm considering debuting a Kharma-esque character some time in the future in my game. The woman in question is big and strong, but even for a female character she doesn't have especially high Menace.

Two questions, then:

1. Is it possible to book a female character in this way successfully? Bearing in mind that, face or heel, she'll only have maybe six opponents on the opposite side of the roster.

2. What sort of name would be good for a character like that? I want something short and punchy, and fairly PG-ish. The wrestler in question is American, so a foreign curseword is probably out

Sure, though you'll probably have to edit the angles to preform to her strength skills and justify it.

Boudicca (after the Celtic Queen)

Im a huge Jack swagger fan and i want him to dissapear completely now(September) and resurface at the Royal Rumble and win the whole thing.

My question is what kinda gimmick should he be sporting when he returns. Im not opposed to turning him face. if that helps

But i want a gimmick for an athletic and big guy like him but one that would be played with intelligence. Any Ideas?

Legitimate Athlete would be a good one since he does have college wrestling experience it's all equally a face / heel role.

That's pretty good and its a good clash with Ziggler's cocky attitude(Ziggler will be the champ Swagger goes after, since they have history)

[fullMETAL]

You could make him masked like in SvR when he was Todo Americano.



Then when he becomes #1 Contender (or even when he wins the belt), have him unmask or something as Swagger to the huge surprise of Ziggler.

I'm running a what if I bought WCW game and I want to turn Goldberg heel and have him managed by Ric Flair, who is also the heel authority figure. The idea is that he is Flair's personal choice to be the face of WCW, but I'm not quite sure how to turn him, story wise. So how would you turn Goldberg?

Simple. Have Goldberg betray Sting. You have Sting and Goldberg face Flair and whoever's aligned with him. Sting loses the match when Goldberg refuses to tag in. While Flair and his partner celebrate, Sting tries to get answers. But as he approaches Bill, SPEAR!! Follow up with a Jackhammer and Goldberg going over and embracing Flair. You've just turned Goldberg into one of the most muscular sellouts the wrestling world has ever seen.

Thanks for the idea.

So I managed to successfully monster push Grave Digger most of the way up the card in about two months, smashing his way through a bunch of people, leading up to a climatic title shot, which he lost.

I now have no idea what to do with the guy. The stable he was in is disbanded as a result of another match on the card, and it seems a bit redundant to just have him start murdering more people. Basically he's lost his monster shine in double quick time. What do I do with him?

Make him the enforcer to someone on your Undercard, helping them win titles, destroy the opposition and basically just all kinds of down right nasty things in order to elevate them.
