Hey folks, just wanted to get something in writing regarding this as it's come up in a few conversations that I've had with people already and wanted to get something in writing regarding it.
I love managers. I feel like it is mostly a lost art (though it's having a resurgence) in real professional wrestling. And I also love wrestlers spending time moonlighting as managers, both for kayfabe and shoot reasons.
I also have to be fair for major names to be spread out amongst players, which is one reason we have a character limit in the first place. So I'm going to offer an alternative: if you have a character you want to play in a managerial position primarily who is fairly active and well-known wrestler in their own right, then I may ask you to allow that manager to take up one of your three character slots. Who is important enough for this position is somewhat nebulous, but suffice to say if it's someone I could reasonably see multiple other people wanting to apply for, I will ask for you to take up a wrestler slot with them.
There is one upside: typically with managers, they wouldn't be eligible to be booked for matches. With these "Specialty" style managers, they would be! Because they take up a wrestler slot! So that's a neat bonus!
