Finished the Undertaker. I didnt do extensive tests on him, but I put him against Hogan. Undertaker won easy. That might say something more about the Hogan edit than the Undertaker.
Then I put both Hogan and the Undertaker in a battle royale with six other random dudes. Hogan was fourth to be eliminated and Undertaker won it.
I'll have to double-check that Hogan edit at some point. He seems to be at mid-carder level. Its not right. I simmed some matches in FPD yesterday against Muta and Inoki (I think) and he wont them both.
He didnt win easily, though. They were pretty close. So I dont know. Maybe the edit is right.
And yeah, Undertaker might be overpowered. It could be because I made him "giant" size. "Giant" is a new size for FPR. Previously, "large" was the biggest size.
But I figured this is the Undertaker so he should be "giant". He's 6 foot 10, after all.
Tough to say where the cut-off between "large" and "giant" should be. I'll have to see how the default "giant" wrestlers are chosen. Is it only used on Giant Baba, Giant Silva, Andre the Giant, and basically guys with "giant" in their names? Or is it also used for guys who are just rather tall? And how tall is tall enough?
So Im working on Kane now. I used his old school appearance. I used Undertaker's old school appearance too as opposed to that lame ass "biker bad ass" or whatever apperarance. MAN, was that a weak gimmick. But the dude who plays the Undertaker threatened to quit unless he was able to do this dumb biker gimmick (he's likes bikes in real life) because he was sick of being the Undertaker and Vince McMahon relented.
I also went with the old school appearance for Hulk Hogan, actually. His newer appearance is based on the NWO Hollywood Hogan gimmick which was good but I wanted classic yellow and red Hogan.
So yeah, I made Kane "giant" too, but that was a tougher call. He's only like 6 foot 8 or something, after all. According to Wikiepedia.
But I figured that he should be similar to the Undertaker. Because remember when Kane first came out and he was supposed to be the Undertaker's brother?
Eventually, we learned that it was just Isaac Yankem DDS, the wrestling dentist.
Back in the early 1990s, WWF wrestlers must not have been paid terribly well because loads of them had second jobs. Aside from the wrestling dentist there was the wrestling race car driver, the wrestling garbage man, the wrestling repossesion officer, the wrestling country music singer, etc.
Actually, before that there was also the wrestling police officer, the wrestling Canadian police officer, a different wrestling country music singer, and so on.
But in the early 1990s, these second-job wrestlers really seemed to multiply. It was the height of wrestlers with second jobs.
