Raze

I can't believe I just noticed this on Raze's 2117 card, I must not have been paying much attention. Has anyone noticed that Raze has a shooting star press on his level 2 offense? He's 6'4" tall and a 268lb. man with +1 agility, I'd imagine he pull a Lesnar and land on his head most of the time.

Good eye, J. There is indeed a reason I made it a level 2 move instead of a level 3. For one, I don't see a +1 agility as making it necessarily prohibitive for someone the size of Raze to do a shooting star press. But he wouldn't be able to do it as well or as quickly as a cruiserweight, meaning that sometimes the opponent is going to dodge it and Raze will miss (that's when the opponent gets a turnaround on Level 2 Defense). I think it's also in Raze's sort of hyperactive character to try to do moves like that because maybe he's been told he can't or shouldn't. I can see your point, though.

He's around the same size (and by my estimation, agility) as Brock Lesnar, so I believe it.

Don't bring up the WM19 atrocity. He HAS done it consistenly in the past.

You know something? I hate Raze - I much preferred Angst. He seemed more of a person who you hoped would turn his life around in a positive direction and become a fan favorite. I am saddened to see him as an angry muscleheaded zealot. Also, he hasn't been a title threat since putting on the weight.

I think the only think that could make him shine again is tagging up with TK. The combination of agility and power could make for a formidable force in the CPC tag ranks!

Lars, be patient! The COTG gods aren't finished with Raze yet! ;D

Even as Angst, he was listed at 268 lbs. For me he won the interstellar and CPC titles in 2112 as Angst and didnt win them again until he transformed into Raze 5 years later.
