Opponent's Max Weight update

I think I asked about this once before and you said you were considering it, but since then I haven't heard anything.

My suggestion was that the weight classes in TNM should be updated to at least add one more class to the Opponent's Max Weight category. As it is you have it as 7 = less than 450 lbs. and 8 = over 450 lbs.

If you think about it from this point where we've seen these wrestlers pull off these moves, that's too unrealistic. We've seen Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, and John Cena execute their finishers on the "500 lb." Big Show, so technically they should be set to Opponent's Max Weight of 8. By doing that, you are basically saying they could do the same to a 700 lb. Yokozuna which would be virtually impossible.

I'm thinking you would need only one more class added. 8 could be changed to under 500 lbs. and 9 would be over 500 lbs.

This is why I've suggested an "adrenaline boost" option when creating/editing wrestlers.  This way Goldberg/Cena/Taker/Kane/Lesnar can still hit their finishers on Big Show, just not all the time.

I wonder if more weight classes should be added at the low end, or at the very least have the overall scheme be changed for female and midget wrestlers. As it stands, anyone can do any move to anyone else that is under 220, which is definitely unrealistic.
