You pretty much have the jist of all the feds. For me, the GWF is the main show, the CPC/POW is like the more extreme wrestling fed in fact there is no such thing as a DQ in my POW) and although I don't have an ace fed, they are the darker, more mystical type fed.

For me, the styles have always been like the GWF is kind of like Star Wars, aCe is kind of in a futuristic Clive Barker sort of area, and the CPC/POW is what Paul Heyman would book if he were over 100 years in the future. But yeah, you've pretty much got the feels of the different feds in your head already. It's what makes some folks more into certain feds than others. If they were all carbon copies, there wouldn't be much reason to have three different main feds, so I like that aspect of it all.

Right now I enjoy using people like Gotch and Hack in my LWF fed, I can envision cagey shoot style wrestling matches. I intend to push their fued for as far and long as possible. I'm also looking forward to slowly adding similar vintage characters, would that mean that I'm possibly more suited/drawn to POW?

You would certainly be drawn to certain characters in POW like Shylock, Stigma, Pendekar, Saboteur, and others who have the background in the Outlaw Fight Club group, who were the main shoot fighters. There are some of the more sci-fi elements in POW, too, like Crucible (who tries to hypnotize his opponents into a State of Fear, at which point Crucible becomes more powerful), but by and large it's a more "realistic" fed than the other two. The MMA element certainly lends itself to that.
Personally I run all three feds, including an Early Classics fed, and find lots to enjoy about them all, so you really have a lot of options.

I agree about the diversity. You can then pick up what game suits your mood. I felt that way when playing Legends when I first bought the original 24. After playing 30-40 cards I found myself going over to my old GWF cards and enjoying the characters and the sci-fi edge that before didn't really attract me.
Of course Online makes it much easier, I do think that Online would be taking a step in the right direction if they made ways of setting up matches, creating angles etc. as quick as possible. It seems the one thing people fall away from the game from is lack of consistency which usually comes down to a lack of time for planning. Really, it takes about as much time to plan a card as it does to play it. I know some people like having total control but if they could introduce a way of generating automatic storylines fitting with the original game handbook and have a automatch generator (as in creating a card automatically) it would help a lot of people like myself who would use it about half the time.
Honestly, I really think it needs something like that which fits with the handbook, the kind of thing that matches a career mode in computer games but has a more open ended generic feel about it. It could have set PPV's which would be spaced out, set amount of matches to represent a game year and just a random match generator that pitted fueding stables against each other with storylines added, then promotors pressed for time could fill in the gaps when they had more time and just spend what time they had enjoying the game more.

Me, I run around 2 cards a month, and a Supercard (PPV) every other month. Currently on 2122, but just bought 2123. Waiting on the cards to get here. Got the manual online, and I'm chomping at the bit. It's about to get ugly in my fed.
