REDMOND, WA — In a move that is set to revolutionize the betting and matchmaking industry, Microsoft has unveiled its proprietary AI engine: “Combat-Core”. Unlike the Pound-for-Pound (P4P) index, which measures efficiency relative to size, Combat-Core provides an Absolute Rating (0-100).
This system treats a fighter like a video game character, aggregating thousands of data points—including the “Mass Leverage” of super-heavyweights and the “Kinetic Velocity” of strikers—to determine who would actually win in a cage. As Microsoft’s lead engineer put it: “Weight isn’t just a number; it’s a weapon. Our software finally respects the physics of the punch.”
[[ EXTREME RULES: COMBAT-CORE RATINGS BREAKDOWN ]]
The following ratings have been pulled from the latest Azure-hosted database for the October card. Note how the “Weight Multiplier” keeps the giants at the top, even when their skill sets are narrower.
THE MAIN EVENT: A BATTLE OF TITANS
| SUPERSTAR | OVERALL RATING | KEY ATTRIBUTES |
| Undertaker | 94 | 98 Durability, 92 Grappling, 95 Strike Power |
| Mankind | 89 | 99 Pain Tolerance, 85 Speed, 90 Ground Game |
| Analysis: Taker’s size/skill hybrid makes him a near-perfect machine, while Mankind’s “Durability” is the only thing keeping the gap under 10 points. |
BMF OPEN CHALLENGE: SPEED VS. SLAM
| SUPERSTAR | OVERALL RATING | KEY ATTRIBUTES |
| The Rock | 97 | 96 Speed, 98 Charisma (Adrenaline), 94 Agility |
| Kimbo Slice | 79 | 97 Raw Power, 60 Ground Game, 80 Stamina |
| Analysis: Despite being #2 P4P, Kimbo’s absolute rating is lower because the software penalizes his lack of formal wrestling/ground defense compared to the elite-tier Rock. |
SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT SEMI-FINALS: THE 1,000lb COLLISION
| SUPERSTAR | OVERALL RATING | KEY ATTRIBUTES |
| Yokozuna | 91 | 99 Mass Leverage, 88 Balance, 40 Stamina |
| Vader | 90 | 95 Explosive Power, 92 Agility (for weight), 85 Intimidation |
| Big Show | 93 | 98 Strength, 90 Reach, 88 Durability |
| Bob Sapp | 86 | 99 Burst Speed, 96 Bull-Rush, 55 Fight IQ |
EXTREME RULES OPEN CHALLENGE: THE SKILL GAP
| SUPERSTAR | OVERALL RATING | KEY ATTRIBUTES |
| Kim-Solo | 82 | 90 Technical Skill, 84 Speed, 78 Ground Game |
| Rey Mysterio Jr. | 76 | 99 Agility, 95 Speed, 45 Mass Advantage |
| Analysis: Ryu remains the anomaly in this system—though he is a Cruiserweight, his “Skill” and “Fight IQ” are rated so high (99) that he holds an 88 Overall, tied with giants like Andre. |
THE MIDCARD & SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
-
Triple H (94) vs. Vince McMahon (70) * Jackie Chan (72) vs. Erap (65) * Birdie (78) – Currently Red-Flagged by Software due to “Health/Stamina” degradation.
[[ THE “WEIGHT FACTOR” VERDICT ]]
The Microsoft software confirms what die-hard fans suspected: Mass is the Great Equalizer. * Andre the Giant (88) maintains a high rating despite lower speed because his “Strike Power” and “Defense” are mathematically impossible to bypass for lower-rated fighters.
-
Hogan (97) and Steve Austin (95) sit at the top because they combine heavyweight mass (250lb+) with elite-tier speed and Fight IQ.
[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: This software is going to make betting on underdogs like Rey Mysterio very dangerous. If the ‘Combat-Core’ is right, Kimbo Slice has a lot of work to do if he ever wants to touch a ’90+’ rated fighter like The Rock. ]]
