What really decides how good a wrestler is?

Okay, I have strict pushes off, and I read all about how push works in that case.  That leaves me wondering, though, how TNM7SE decides who's gonna win a match.

How do you "create a winner"?  I recently ran a tournament, and a wrestler with 70 defeated three people with 80, three people with 90, and three others with 100 to capture the belt.  In fact, even when I have strict pushes on, it's not at all uncommon for anyone with 75+ to be winning over those with 100.

What levels should push be set at, both in strict pushes and non-strict pushes, in order to be able to figure out who's going to win most of the time?  What other factors are there?  How does TNM7SE really decide winners?

When pushes are properly scaled, I have no problems figuring out who winning in a strict pushes fed, except for the occasional upset.

For instance, I'm running a TNM universe, and three of the four heavyweight champs have pushes of 100 in their fed (Jarrett, HHH & Undertaker) with the other champ having a push of 98 (Savage)...

Unfortunately, we REALLY need a setting for Tag pushes...so you can have America's Most Wanted or The Dudley Boyz as the undisputed top team without having to give them singles pushes in the 90s plus.

OH! I think I see the problem now. I looks like even my "openers" were upper midcarders as I have them. I never did understand the values, now that I think about it. Currently, I've had the values like so:

Main Event: 100
Upper Midcard: 90
Midcard: 80
Lower Midcard: 70
Opener: 60
Jobber: 50

That explains why Sekhmet own the belt . . . After reading those threads, I take it the actual values are more like so:

Main Event: 100
Upper Midcard: 80
Midcard: 60
Lower Midcard: 40
Opener: 20
Jobber: 0

Do I got it right now?

EDIT: One more thing . . . Since strict pushes only determine if a finish is acceptable, would the above values still usually hold true if you don't have strict pushes on?
