Gotta tell you, this format of running a fed really appeals to me. Its simple, but deceptively so...there is still good booking here. A minimal amount of titles (in this case, one, which is just fine), and the "story" of the fed is truly all about the chase for the title.
It also harkens back to a day when wrestling wasn't dependent upon soap-operish gimmicks and angles, and just focused on the sport itself, presenting itself as a sport.
You could run a fed for years like this, without ever getting tired of it. The matches themselves dictate the rivalries, and that's the best way to play it (like it would be booked if wrestling was a real sport).
Really good stuff, and you've given me much food for thought.

T.Y. LWPD, Stu and Troy. Nice to see my work is appreciated.
What Im trying to do here is run the "story" of a wrestling promotion. From humble beginnings to the pinnacle and then the decline. So eventually this fed will close. And as far as the roster, I started with the "old school" and as time goes by they will "retire" and new blood will enter. So you will never see Thesz take on Danielson. Anyways lets see how it rolls out. Hope you guys enjoy it.
