[Mr. Hyde]

I like it. Because the shows are rather small, it is very easy to see how wrestlers transition from one feud to another.

Good stuff!

[Gunslinger]

Thanks for reading, Hyde. My old fed kept feeling like I was getting out of control and just throwing things together. I think with smaller shows and a smaller roster, it's easier to make the matches more important. Not having PPVs is also a plus since I'm not trying to build up four or five fueds from ground level at the same time. Also, I think leaving out everyone from the first set except Bastien is forcing me to do things differently than I did in my old fed. This concludes my thoughts on promoting ;D
