📘 Booker Blitz Glossary

Quick meanings for common terms you’ll see while booking.

Character Terms

  • Face: Crowd favorite.
  • Heel: Villain the crowd loves to boo.
  • Tweener: Sits between face and heel.
  • Gimmick (gimmickType): A wrestler’s persona. One of Monster, Technician, Comedy, Cult Leader, Celebrity, Fighter, Daredevil, Authority, or Rebel. Face/heel is separate, so a Monster can be either. Set it on the wrestler page, from the right-click menu, or when you sign someone. Old saves get one automatically on load: from the old gimmick text when it names one, otherwise from the wrestler’s style, size, and stats. Referees, medics, and other off-screen staff have none.

Performance Terms

  • Ability: In-ring quality.
  • Mic Skills: How strong they are in promos and interviews.
  • Charisma: How naturally they connect with the crowd.
  • Popularity: How over they are right now.
  • Prestige: Long-term reputation and status.
  • Morale: How happy they are with their role.
  • Condition: Physical readiness for matches.

Booking Terms

  • Main Event: The biggest segment on the card.
  • Blowoff Match: The payoff match for a feud.
  • Open Challenge: Champion invites any eligible contender.

🔥 Momentum Terms

🧷 Match Finish Terms

  • Pinfall: Win by pin.
  • Submission: Win by making an opponent tap.
  • Draw: No winner.
  • No Contest: Match ends without a proper finish.

🗂️ Management Terms

  • Exclusive Contract: Talent works only for your promotion. You can only poach exclusive talent in the final 30 days, and they leave as soon as they sign an exclusive deal. Exclusive asks cost about 15% more than the market. A non-compete (months, capped at 20% of the term) blocks appearances after the deal ends, including a firing or a quit. It does not stop them signing the next deal.
  • Non-Exclusive Contract: Talent can hold deals with more than one company and can be offered either kind of contract any day. If two companies run the same day, they go to whoever pays more per month (per-appearance fees are counted at their bookings per month). Your promotion wins a tie.
  • Wage Type: How a deal pays, separate from exclusivity. Monthly pays a fixed wage every month, even when the talent isn't booked. Per appearance pays once per show worked and sets bookings per month and an optional injury guarantee. Talent always prefers monthly pay, and their monthly ask is about 3.25 times their per-appearance fee.
  • Development: Training track for improving younger talent, run by promotion trainers.
  • Talent Finder / Scouting: Screen used to discover and target outside talent.

Broadcast Staff Terms

  • Commentator (commentator): Calls the action from the announce desk and opens each show. Only commentators join the commentary team.
  • Call style (commentatorType): How that commentator calls it. Play-by-Play, Color Analyst, Comedy, Heel, or Legend. Straight Call (no style) keeps the standard lines. Set it on the staff page or beside their name in Key Staff. Old saves stay on a straight call until you pick one.
  • Interviewer (interviewer): Hosts Interview parts in the ring or backstage.
  • Ring Announcer (ring_announcer): Handles Announcement, Injury, and Hype parts in the Segment Wizard.
