The anwser to a few questions.  ;D

How is it dictated how long someone will stay with your promotion? I know your hire them for a certain amount of cards, but beyond that?

Does it depend on how often and how well you use them? Will some guys quite regardless?

Just how much of an impact does endurance have on a match? Any defining numbers?

Same thing with workrate. Does that make winning more commonplace, is it just for wrestlers to show up at your booked cards, higher ratings, what?

Depends on several different factors. How you are using them, if you seem to be putting too much pressure on them with a title they may not feel they deserve (I believe) etc.

Yes and yes. Sometimes guys will just leave for no apparent reason.

I assume you mean stamina and I'm not quite sure other than wrestlers tiring what it does, if anything.  I believe it's just to determine how long a person can last in the ring without running out of gas.

I don't believe workrate has any (or at least much if any) baring on winning. Workrate is how good of an actual worker your wrestler is. How hard he tries to give what the fans want with his actual skill set. Hogan for instance has a low workrate, but high charisma because of his "less is more" mentality, which some don't like, but it works. Benoit has a high workrate. Make sense? According to the help button in TNM itself it says "How hard a wrestler tries to give the fans what they want."

Gotcha, thanks. I appreciate the anwsers.

Some more questions...

In TNM as of now, is there any double no sell? Like Vader and Kobashi when they kept closelining/should blocking each other? Hell, basically when two guys butt into each other several times and then one of them goes down. I think that's a pretty major part of a lot of big guy matches, and when one or the other actually goes down, it cements a lot about both players.

Annnnnd, do smaller guys in TNM have a tendency to make a lot more strikes on the larger guys? Basically, what happens in any Vader or Andre fight in Japan. Antonio Inoki dancing around Andre landing a crap load of leg kicks, or someone slamming his leg into the back of Vader's thighs a hundred times while he keeps avoiding Vader's closelines... Things like that in TNM should get huge crowd reactions to boot, if they exist...

Yes.  Guys can have exchanges.  Guys can no sell.  I would there for assume that guys can have exchanges like that and no sell eachother.

I have no idea if guys are more likely to attempt moves that fall within the weight class range where they could pull off said move or not though

Heh, I know there's been a no sell option in attributes for a while, I was thinking mroe of that dyanmic which is seen a lot in, say, AJPW.

Thanks for the reply.

Oh, I assumed you knew that. :) I was just saying that all the tools are there for it to happen so theres no reason why it can't/shouldn't.
