On another subject, I don't know if you've even started working on the cards for Mensar or Euritar, but considering the well documented restrictions on CPC stats how could Mensar or Euritar possibly be an upgrade? They were main-event level GWF'ers, with that sort of stat set, wouldn't it unbalance the CPC roster. If you go by Lord Rahl's rating system...the most powerful card active in the CPC is Zed Marlowe with a 47. Both Mensar and Euritar rated a 47 upon their debut. The stats discussions for the CPC are alkways interesting. My opinion is that while the over-all talent for the CPc should be lower, that doesn't mean that there can't be 2 or 3 "legit" main event caliber wrestlers. Not to keep bringing him up, but Dante's first card was pretty decent. On his update card he should have really good stats. Not necessarily a monster, but on par with what GWF upper midcarders. And in the storyline of the GWF metaverse, an indy fed signing former main eventers in the GWF is totally possible. I'm not sure if Mark said these two would be getting upgrades or just updates, but there's no reason to downgrade them *just because* they're getting signed by the CPC. Just my opinion. |

With Monolith running around the GWF now I think the CPC could get away with having Mensar and Euritar being high 40s as far as Rahl's ratings go. Both could still be downgraded a bit and still be really good.
And it's not like the CPC guys have to be that much worse. I think the general rule has been that a top CPC guy should be I-P Title level in the GWF.

I'll go on record as saying that a downgrade for Euritar would be disappointing and a downgrade for Mensar would be a crime. Those two are elite wrestlers in their prime. Euritar's a second generation star who's been wrestling since 2108. Mensar's only been around since 2112. Heck, Euritar was GWF Champion in the Promoter when he was released.
Should Monolith, Endgame and Disaster all be better than those two? You bet. But in my mind, there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to compete with the rest of the GWF roster.

Yeah, that's my point with those two. Logically, there's no reason to downgrade them. And a fed that's been around as long as the CPC is bound to produce its own stars, so at some point they are going to have a monster talent develop on their own. |

They did have Puma who was a 54 in Rahl's character ratings. That's probably good enough to win the GWF Title in any era. Zed Marlowe and Talon are currently 47 and 45 in the character ratings which is good enough to be an upper mid-card guy in the GWF.
Euritar and Mensar were both 47s the last time they were active so I think they're safe for the most part.

Talon is a 47? I didn't realize his card was that strong. He's always been a hard luck loser for me.

Zed's a 47 and Talon is a 45.

Spoilers ahead:
So I noticed Minotaur is looking for employment elsewhere in the galaxy. Any chance of him getting hired or a mention of the CPC turning him down in 2121?

There's ton of talent in the GWF(Tom has nothing to worry about) lets give the CPC 2 superstars (along with Shylock, Dante, Cypher, Zed Marlowe, and Darwins Legacy). CPC is awesome and deserves to have a run at a couple of mega stars... Let Mark do it TOM..... plz!! make them great |
