Samoan headbutting
Unright | Posted on 04/26/05 at 00:10:35 Everybody and their mom knows that you can't headbutt a samoan wrestler*. It's one of those quirky unofficial "rules" of wrestling, but it has carried over many feds for many years. I figure that if TNM has a easter egg about the Great Muta landing on his feet after moonsaults, there might be a way to add the samoan headbutt rule. * Possible exception of The Rock, but he's not 100% Samoan |
Captain Tagon | Posted on 04/30/05 at 19:20:57 Well at The Midnight Express Reunion Show American Dragon actually managed to out headbutt Samoa Joe. But that might an aberration just because Dragon is tough tough tough. |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 05/15/05 at 13:48:55 Staying with the Easter Egg theme, how is the program supposed to pick up on the fact that the wrestler is Samoan? Aside from maybe recognizing he was given the headbutt 15 times in his moveset ;)? |
Critic of the Dawn | Posted on 05/15/05 at 16:09:51 You'd probably have to do it the same way that you made Great Muta landing on his feet after a moonsault - just get the names of a bunch of Samoan wrestlers (and maybe American Dragon) and make it so they will always no-sell headbutts and counter with one of their own. If you were so inclined, you could update the names when a new build was released. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
John Proulx | Posted on 05/15/05 at 19:54:58 Personally, I think it should be a flag, so that you can check "Hard-Headed" like you can "Skins the Cat" and other wrestler-specific moves. That way I can give it to my copy of S.D. Jones :) . |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 05/16/05 at 02:47:44 *marks out for S.D. Jones like a school girl would for Ricky Morton* You'd also have to use it for Bobo Brazil and his dreaded Coco Butt. |
Unright | Posted on 05/16/05 at 19:44:42 I think a Hard-Headed field in wrestler attributes would work great, although that menu is starting to get pretty filled up. Maybe Springs Up and Skins the Cat could be combined. Seems like a wrestler that does one, usually does the other. |

The Rock springs up but he has never been able to "skin the cat" |
TerryFunka | Posted on 05/17/05 at 03:18:05 I think he's reffering to namely HBK. |
Unright | Posted on 05/17/05 at 16:31:18 Not just HBK. Every smaller atheletic wrestler who can kip up usually tends to be the same one who grabs ahold of the ropes when being thrown out of a Battle Royal/Royal Rumble. Of course, someone who sneaks back in under the bottom rope tends to be pretty Cocky as well, so I may not really know what I'm talking about... |

Since there are people who do one but not the other (The Rock kips up but doesn't skin the cat, and Chris Jericho skins the cat but doesn't kip up) you can't realistically combine the two into one flag without messing that up.
