I was thinking of starting a wrestling league. It will be designed to cater for wrestlers who are shoot style wrestlers or those with a every man for himself personality. The idea would be to get a group of wrestlers, let them wrestle each other 3 times, give 3 points for a victory and 0 for a loss. It will involve texas death match rules so every match is decided definately and it will possibly be a 2 out of 3 falls for each match.
The angle I'm thinking of using is this mysterious promoter arrives at a LWF event with a large briefcase and is seen talking to several wrestlers backstage like Gotch, Hack, Rogers etc. He either interupts a match or is scheduled as a mystery guess on Apters 'Hotseat'. In it he announces he has 2 million dollars in his briefcase for a planned no holds barred classic style wrestling league and he intends to lure the best wrestlers to it. The wrestler who comes top of that league wins the $2 million the others will be paid for being part of it but much less than the winner. Explaining how the fans are often left frustrated at seeing matches go undecided this is designed to see who really is the best out there.
I don't know if I'll use this angle as a kind of threat to the regular LWF and it's titles or get the commisioner to strike an agreement so these matches can take place on regular LWF cards whilst the same wrestlers also participate in regular ranking matches.
To be honest the bottom line for me is to make the game easier to play, with a league system you just pit wrestlers against each other in a routine fashion until all wrestlers have faced each other three times.
I thought Online would make playing easier but for me it hasn't solved that problem but I don't think that was the Online teams objective. If anything in someways it's got more complicated, I've never been one to really take time to develop in depth storylines largely because LOW is a very small hobby compared to other things in my life, I like to just play things out and use to use a simple ranking system (win/loss) to decide each card, i.e 20th wrestled 19th or 18th etc. I used to try and get heels facing faces etc. and fueds used to happen naturally based on those struggling around the same place in the rankings.
