I'm just curious how many of you guys run more than one fed or promotion or territory?
I'm still in the process of setting up my promotion and it has always been my plan to have just one promotion... BUT, there are so many wrestler cards that I want to use... too many for just one fed or promotion. Too many official cards and there are a few bootlegs that I would love to use. By the way, thank you to you guys who have emailed bootlegs to me and pointed me to where to go to find good quality bootlegs. And just recently I've made contact with a person who goes by the moniker "justme" and he has created some awesome bootlegs with great stats... and I want to use some of his too. But how do I fit them all into just one promotion?
I'm thinking about creating a second fed that would be kind of a feeder or developmental promotion for my main promotion. My main worry with doing that is... Will I have enough time to run two promotions? Or, will it just be too many matches and storylines, etc? I don't want it ever to seem like work. The main goal in doing anything with LOW is to have fun doing it.
Anyway... What do you guys do? Do you run multiple promotions? If so, does it ever seem like there's too much to do or too much to keep track of? I'd enjoy hearing your thoughts, ideas, experiences and opinions on this!
Thanks!

Not counting COTG stuff : AWA NWA WCCW/Mid South XIW (Xtreme Impact Wrestling) [TNA & ECW combined] WWF ROH EVOLVE Chikara CZW Championship Wrestling From Hollywood UWN Indy (Beyond, Freelance, etc.) International (Canada, UK, Mexico, Japan, etc.) Shimmer Women of Honor Ladies Legends Quite daunting. I remember once planning on a single fed, and then I wanted everything! I might switch a few things around and have a smaller Fed that I run every other month (CWFH) & on the off months have and Indy spotlight series where I would run Beyond, AIW or something else.

I run two... An AWA fed and an NWA fed... I alternate cards between the feds, and I plan to do some cross promotion events at some point, but I haven't taken the plunge yet...

I am running only 2 feds right now, a low fed and a Indy fed.
I sometimes have 2 or 3 Low feds going... depends on how much time I have on my hands.
Like you said too many cards, not enough time...😃

My Legends game runs under the NWA banner with territories in the U.S. (USWA), Canada (CEW), Mexico (MWE), Puerto Rico (WWC), Europe (EPW) and Japan (JWA).
My indies are governed by the Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF) and the promotions consist of PCW, CZW, ECW, ROH, IFW, Evolve, and CWF Hollywood.
My women's feds are the IWWF (Japan), nCw Femmes Fatales (Canada), Bellatrix Female Warriors (Europe), Shimmer (U.S.), and the USWA has a women's division.

I run one fed only but I did attempt to do two or three territory type feds with the b/w cards. My problem was I would always lose interest in at least one of the other feds.
What I do now is play random 3 or 4 matches that include people not on the main roster. Maybe I say the spotlight is on Japan, if the wrestlers would fit or even some alternate title such as North American titles. That way when I have a wrestler on suspension (Hansen, Gordy) or lost a loser leave town match (Snuka, Firpo or Race) or on hiatus (Beefcake, Fantastics) from my roster they could take part in different matches and if they return make it a small part of their backstory.

for LOW:
I do not have multiple feds but I do have brand extensions of the same fed. Each brand has a completely separate roster- yet both brands are interconnected- and there is an annual draft plus trade possibilities to shake the brand rosters up.

I go in spurts mostly playing COTG but I have several feds including my GWF, Kronos, and CWF. On the LOW side of things I run a WWF and a NWA that compete w each other in Monday Night Wars - haven’t played in awhile but last time I did Brock showed up in the NWA w his WWF title. I have an Indy fed too where I just use my favorites. Used to have a CHIKARA fed and an ROH fed then I combined them.

I run a Maple Leaf Legends of Wrestling, ROH Canada and SHIMMER Canada fed. As these are all based in the same timeline I split my massive card collection into decks of Legends, Indie and Women and then two tag team stacks for both women and men. These I use as my free agent pools that I will randomly draw from when an end of a Season (year of in game time) or a wrestlers contract is up. To reveal potential new free agents I could bring into a certain fed. While Maple Leaf is mainly a Legends fed and ROH Canada mainly a indie fed both can have wrestlers from either if the situation or angle presents itself. All of the Legends and Indie women are in my SHIMMER Canada fed but they may also have matches that fill out a Supercard in the other two feds when needed as I use them as a sister fed to the other two.

Wow... Several of you guys have a lot of promotions going on at the same time! I don't know how you do it. But, your responses have given me encouragement and confidence that I can probably run at least 2 promotions simultaneously.
I'm a huge fan of the old Central States Wrestling promotion from back in the day... So what I'm thinking about doing is having a national or world promotion and then have Central States Wrestling as kind of a developmental or feeder league for the big promotion... sort of a minor league fed.
I can't wait to actually start having matches, but I'm still setting things up. Setting things up is so much fun... it's hard to stop doing that and start running shows!
Thanks for all the replies! Please keep them coming... I think I learn something from every one of them.
