How have you decided who is in your indie fed?
Have you built your fed around one of the brands (ROH, Evolve, etc)?
Are you just using the Best Of sets?
Or have you just put all your favourite guys together?

Or have you just put all your favourite guys together? The talent pool in the indie sets is overwhelming at this point. If I get mine going again, I'm going to limit it to people I've seen wrestle at live shows just to limit the pool I have to choose from. It'll be mostly best of guys with some ROH and Evolve sprinkled in, I think.

It'll be mostly best of guys with some ROH and Evolve sprinkled in, I think. Someone (and I apologize for forgetting who it was) did an awesome fed called 24 (or something like that). Started out w 24 wrestlers and they all basically fought for their place on the roster with every fight. Losing wrestlers were kicks out and replaced after 5 losses or something. It was really cut throat like a reality TV show would be. I’ve wanted to try something similar since reading about it. Was intense and a great way to use a lot of the Indy guys without piling up a huge roster.

If I ever pick Indies back up, I plan on doing something similar and mixing the levels to get a nice blend of upper and lower carders as while it might be tempting to go all powerful, it would get boring and some of the most fun guys have lower stats.

I think it's a good idea to remember most indies run on a shoestring budget and can't afford that many headliners. Indie feds have an even greater potential to be top heavy than Legends feds. I remember something in an early COTG handbook about how the level of competition on Kronos was so high that it wasn't possible to run a regular fed there. That's how I've felt about a lot of the indie feds I started that fizzled after a few shows.

Already ideas are storming in my head. FTR is going to come first but this will definitely be a thing as I work on alternating non Legends feds so I don't burn out.

I run an ROH and CZW feds under my WWNLive Universe. How I play is ROH and CZW are my main feds, and I use the other indi sets on a show called Around the WWNLive Universe where I hold matches from the other "feds". It works for me as I get use out of most of the new cards, while still maintaining my core feds.

I have ROH , CZW , Evolve , CWFH , Chikara and Shimmer feds . All other indies if not got history in one of them feds ends up in my Jaguar fed (mainly Indies and some LOTF cards but they are slowly disappearing)

I was thinking of using the PWI and Best Of sets (I'm assuming these are the lower guys) then adding in a few ROH guys like Bryan Danielson, Michael Elgin, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, etc.

I just book matches with wrestlers I'd like to see square off - from all my indie sets. Like on my next card I have Super Crazy taking on Juventud Guerrera. I don't really base it off any other sets like ROH or Chikara.
