The Superstar Jinx

[Nemecys]

Has anyone had a major star enter the fed or make a huge improvement (new card), only to get crushed and/or humiliated match after match? It happend twice in my fed, both with major villains.

First, I got Chaos' special edition card when I had ordered 2089, thinking it was a bonus card. Since he wasn't supposed to debute until 2092, I ruled that he could only wrestle part time and could hold no titles. When he finally debute full time in 2092, I put him against Hornet, a masked wrestler I created who was a step above jobber status. Chaos went for an ag move, was outmaneuvered by Hornet's -1, and was pinned in barely a minute. I laughed, figuring it was a fluke, but later I had a huge survivor series tournament and Hornet's jobber team faced the Third Force. Once again, Hornet pinned Chaos in less than a minute. They would fight for years after and Chaos would win some but lose most. However, Chaos usually won after 15-20 minutes and Hornet usually won in a minute or two.

The irony really appeared when I upgraded Hornet big time. I put him again against Chaos and Chaos (who had just lost the Alpha Stone) and Chaos won in 45 seconds!

Jinx #2: Mandrill was getting his huge villain push. I had a huge tournament with for #1 million. Mandrill appeared on Trisis show before the matches began and got attacked by the Gladiators and injured, taking him out of the tournament. Tough luck. Mandrill did recover and made it to the GWF tournament semi finals (wrestling 1 match) against Paragon (who had been injured by Anarchy the day before). In a reminder of Diesal/Bob Backlund, Pragon hit the powerbomb and won in under 10 seconds! Poor poor Mandrill!


Anyone else have wrestlers with such luck (or lack of it)? Take care,

Jay

I totally feel your pain here. Actually it's strange in my federation since my system is a win/loss ranking system I keep track of Wins and losses. It is very rare for someone to go undefeated. Most people lose 1 of their first 2 matches in my federation. To tell you the truth, I dont think I have anyone undefeated that is more than 4-0.

Chaos always seems to lose to submission wrestlers. Dreggs has his number and is owning him right now. Usually when someone debuts they usually lose their debut, I also think Chaos lost to someone odd in my fed in his first match. (I remember Matador losing to Ursa Major's bum card, and the bum card always seemed to beat him)

for me it was the matador of m83.won i think his first 2 matches in a matter of a couple of moves.then went on to lose a heap of matches.found him very disapointing at that stage.he eventually came good but was never the superstar he was meant to be.
