Here's the issue that concerns me:
Teddy and Flair are light years more powerful than every other GM out there, because -Bischoff and Steph you have to be a particular brand to enjoy any benefit, and there is no ongoing benefit beyond before the pre-match. Bischoff in particular is also a detriment, since he cannot play McMahon cards. -Vince's ability would give no benefit and all detriment due to the fact that he is mostly deck construction issues. -Mystery Wrestler's whole ability revolves around changing enforcers. -Heyman's whole ability is to rotate in and out stips that we have no interest in using until the PPV -Regal and Austin as GM's+ability splicers would compete with Teddy, but Regal is taken (I'll kick Dude Love to the curb if it helps get this idea in motion.)
I mean, I see where the ability splicer comes into effect on a fun level, but imagine Flair with, say, APA and their opening 12 card handsize (or 8 if you take the average...either way there was a reason Flair only got 4 cards to start with.) Or Teddy and Noble, always having a way to put Nidia back in the deck? Now compare that to APA and, say, Bischoff. Or CLB and Stephanie? Or even Big Show and Vince (heh).
I guees my point is that we've put the cart before the horse. If we were aware that we were doing GM's then we would have done a GM first, then a roster. Maybe then it would have been balanced a little better. But picking the GM after the fact would be something that's a little...I dunno, off? Some of our picks gets tossed into the muck because they cross brands or have the wrong GM? We'd have to rework the abilities of a lot of the GM's and balanced them out.
Example: Teddy's players would have the ability as printed, including the 50 card arsenals. Vince's players would get Don't Cross The Boss as part of their backstage reveal instead of Vince's ability Austin's players would have the ability as printed Regal's players would have the ability as printed. Flair's players would have the ability as printed BUT their starting handsize is an unalterable 4 Bischoff players would be as printed and maybe pack one or more ss card Stephanie's players would be as printed and maybe pack one or more ss card Heyman's players could have all their matches be under a constant No-DQ or Chicago Street Fight condition, or get the text of Philly, PA in their ability
I dunno, just brainstorming ideas here,...what do you all think?
