[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 149994, member: 79"] Wouldn't those guys by 'The Plant'. Marks are the people who believe wrestling is real and take is seriously. Smarks (Smart marks) are the fans who read WO and follow all the behind the scenes stuff (And still end up getting worked as much as most marks:). Groupies belong as NPC's though, considering there are some who show up to shows with their list of wrestlers they want to sleep with.;) I'm half inclined to think that a game where the wrestling was fake but the soap opera was real wouild be amusing. Wrestlers jockeying for position and trying to make sure they keep getting booked as a winner. Dirty tricks outside the ring like adding your own touches to a promo so you can cut off the other guy's 'punchline' and make him look bad (Triple H in a old Rock promo). In the ring you have different options in matches like making an extra effort to make the match good, or the opposite and trying to make the other guy look bad (Bruiser Brody v. Lex Lugar, around 1983 or so). Even stiffing an opponant with barely pulled moves (Shinobu Kandori v. Akira Hokuto, 1993) and outright shoots where you just try to put a real hurting on the other guy (Akira Maeda on several occasions). So allies, enemies, backstabbing in the ring, outside the ring, and in the back rooms where the storylines are made up. Might be fun for a chance of pace.;) [/QUOTE]
