Both. Also, I've ranted about it before, but the WWE's style of camera work is terrible for accentuating strike-based offence. Too many cuts and too much shaky cam.
*edit, also, he needs to be in the ring with guys like Zayn, not two lumps like the Ascension.

haha nice! I'm currently in the process of thinking of a combat system for the Wrestling RPG and I was tempted to go Card style combat. Your character (and others) would still have base stats, but when it comes to the fight you'd use your moveset (which would consist of a deck of cards) to fight other wrestlers who would have their own unique moveset too.
To use a move you'd have to invest some momentum (Mana) into it. Base momentum would be created by the wrestlers Overness+Charisma*wins/loses (or something). Some cards would generate momentum for the attacker, and stun the opposition wrestler. So little 'base' moves would be momentum builders, finishers would be huge momentum destroyers on the opposition.
With it being turned based if you're the defender you can 'proc' a counter card which would have a chance to counter whatever card the opposition plays, and gains momentum.
Basically Momentum would be needed to play cards. More momentum = bigger moves.
It's still early days, and I probably haven't explained it very well. I'll try again in the morning with the help of visual aids.
Strength
Agility
Charisma
Stamina
Will still be important attributes too in the Wrestling RPG, as they'll be modifiers on the moves. However, I feel like it's important that the combat is more than
Attack - Punch
Attack - Special
Defend
Item
Run Away
Then I'd hope to be able to add a 'entertainment' factor too, so you'd have to use moves that entertained the crowd. I don't feel like I've explained this well at all!
These are the ideas/features I currently have an idea for in the Wrestling RPG. No idea if I can code them or not, but hey... I'll try!

Just finished the latest episode of Monday Night War
How can the WWE make this and not look at shit like the Reigns promo or the fake crowd noise?
- Hogan lying about everything
- Vince patting himself on the back
- Russo playing the sad card
- All the talk about not insulting your audience's intelligence despite the product they have today.
- All of the parallels to today's product
- Bad Nitro ratings are now good raw ratings

it was pretty hilarious to see them go over this stuff and look at how the current product is going. History is repeating itself.

Wrestlers not having Creative Control is one reason why the WWE will never get as bad off as WCW.
Not only would Hogan refuse to job his own matches but the various bookers had to trick him to allow any face to pin a big heel, ever. He wanted to be the one to come in and get the win.
Nash you could at least convince to lose every once in awhile...though most of the time he'd just no show.
Hall was actually the best of them about losing and would be the model employee without those substance abuse issues.

Wrestlers having creative control could be good if they weren't cunts. Hogan had a massive ego who never wanted to put guys over.
How many clean pins did Hogan and Cena take that wasn't a run in or some shit?
Remember hogan fucking kicking out after 3 at Mania VI? Fucking grabbing the belt and stealing all of the camera time that should have helped put warrior over?
Cena has what like 5 clean pins?
Lesnar
Rock
Batista?
Reigns in a tag match
HHH
I would say Bryan but not really.
Hell even fucking punk was kinda a run in.
Wrestlers should be able to work with writing to work together.

But seriously it's really jarring how well the NXT women wrestlers are written compared to Raw/Smackdown. Incredibly jarring.
I really don't see how things are going to change to be honest. They have great talent and personalities there yet don't want to use them to their utmost potential.

I wonder if Kidd and Cesaro could pull off the Buscemi and Stormare roles.
I want to say Edge got a clean pin or two on Cena back during their feud.
You also forgot the triple finisher spot in that one chamber match where Cena was eliminated shockingly in like less than 5 minutes after he entered.

Having a half-naked picture of your boss on your wall is pretty weird. Glad this creep got fired.

I hope we don't have to endure Chris Jericho for WrestleMania season.
If you notice Reigns has main evented house shows with midcarders.
SEE HE GETS THE BIGGEST POP DAMN IT
Agreed dream. I said that the first few episodes and then again after his tag match with Balor. I think it's a combination of the former and that he doesn't stand out in any way whatsoever: look, gimmick, moves, size, whatever.
Being Japanese is the only thing preventing him from looking like every other generic jobber on NXT.
A shame.
Edit: against the Ascension, he came off on screen as one of the randos they squashed every week. It's bad. It's a waste of him.
