On the choice charts (ch-a thru H), when a wrestler uses the (pw) move choice, I have changed the rule. It goes something like this:
Take the number given on the chart, and add or subtract the opponent's (pw) as normal. Then, you INVERT your (pw) rating (thus making a +2 into a -2, or a -5 into a +5) and also slap that on to the choice's number. You then roll equal or less than this new value.
Example-Chaos (pw -5) is wrestling Pollux (pw +4), and tries some generic pw move that says "works on rolls of 7 or less, plus or minus opponent's power". Take the 7, and add Pollux's +4 pw to that (making it 11). NOW, you take Chaos' -5 pw, and invert it, making it a +5. Add this +5 to the 11, and you now have 16. Chaos now has to roll a 16 or less to pull off the (pw) move against Pollux. And, on 2d6, there's no way Chaos can fail this roll. Pollux is toast!
This reflects a wrestler's own power being used against an opponent, and also throws a bit of "weight value" into the move attempt. I don't use this on (ag) choice moves, only (pw).
