Push in a booked circuit...

I could very well be wrong but push affects other things besides just how likely a wrestler is to win.  So for reference, should push be adjusted correctly in circuits that are completely booked?  And if so what benefits does it provide over not adjusting push in your booked circuit and what disadvantages are there in not adjusting it.

It can lead to wrestlers quitting. A high-pushed wrestler who never wins, or who isn't in the title picture is just not happy about staying. It's like you promise him that he will be the star, while all he does is lose mid-card feuds. I have also heard that some wrestlers (dunno if it is random) can't handle the pressure of being pushed to 100. Like Randy Orton who quit my WWE fed two weeks after winning the world title.

I could be wrong, but doesn't push levels effect how much damage moves have the ability to actually do and if people can kick out of finishers?  For instance Guy A with a push of 30 isn't very likely to kick out of Guy B's finisher with a push of 100

I'm hoping Oliver will see this thread and give us some inside insight.

I think you are right, but in a booked circuit it really doesn't matter, does it?

It does if you book winners and use the match play-by-play as is.

Even in a booked circuit, push will effect match quality and wrestler heat in addition to what's already been mentioned.  So, if you want to use Funaki as a main eventer but leave his push at 50, he'll be having a lot of * and ** matches even though his workrate is solid enough for better because the simulated audience thinks that he's a Velocity jobber and buys popcorn rather than watching his matches.
