Big Fed With Small Territories

[jasonjaconetti]

If a guy has a tag move, I use it in tag matches. Yes, Candido has the only to be done with Dr. Tom, but why not use it with Rose? If they are going to be a tag team for awhile, then they would come up with a tag team move set and why would this move not be part of it or their finish? It is always your call and you should do what works best for you & your fed.

Sorry if this is not much help.

Many thanks to all who responded for your input. The tag question is something I had been pondering for awhile, and I don't recall anyone else asking about it, so I thought, why not me? Thanks again!

I had to think about , but I would only use tag moves if the partner regulary teamed with said wrestler. Randy Rose has been mentioned. I'd use it with Condrey or if Norvell Austin or Pat Rose were signed since they regulary teamed at various times. I wouldnt use the tag moves if Rose teamed with Hillbilly Jim or Dutch Savage.

My reasoning is tag moves are precision cordinated between partners to get maximum effect.

Personally, I'll use the tag moves/finisher/mechanics unless it specifically says it's only for a particular team. In the Randy Rose example, even though his card may have been fashioned after his run with Condrey, the card doesn't specifically say the moves can only be used with Condrey, so I'd allow him to use it with whatever partner. In the Candido example, it's exactly the opposite, I wouldn't use the PRIMA DONNA PLUNGE, as it specifically says it only works with Tom Prichard.

I'm quoting myself to clarify if I was going to make the two into a team that regularly work together this is how I handle it. If it's just a "throw them together for a match" type situation I will generally re-roll.

What makes them different territories? The fact they have different rosters? In the old days, every territory was distinctly different from the others in the way it presented pro wrestling to its local audience. That's the difference between territories as they actually existed historically and mere subdivisions of a national company.

Yeah I've been teaming Regal with Rose and since they're a regular team I use Rose's tag moves. Most of the time I do try and keep them to their regular partners but until we get Pat Rose in the game, I have to improvise.

I was looking for a way to use all of my cards, and it's hard to do that with one fed. I thought I'd have smaller feds--each one with their own weekly TV show--and then possibly have a TV show at the end of the week that would feature wrestlers from the different "territories" in matches against each other. The World Champions would also travel the territories to face the regional champions.

You could introduce "house rule" mechanics that make each of the promotions play differently and offer a different type of product. I've done this in past versions of my legends fed. My Texas fed expected more brawling and out of the ring, so count outs and DQs were rolled an extra time, while my Mid-America fed was more strict, required DQ rolls for all things that should be illegal (even if they weren't noted as dis moves on the wrestler's card), and disallowed rolls on the Out of the Ring chart except for in main events (if you rolled Out of the Ring you rolled your DQ to see if it was an 'over the top rope' pitch to the outside, and then the guy thrown out rolled his count out but didn't receive a fatigue token).

There was other tweaks as well, but it worked to make each promotion play differently, and it made it so that different types of cards were able to be more successful in certain territories and far less successful in others.

Thanks for your advice. I was thinking about having a "Vintage Rules" territory where the title can change hands on disqualification/count-out & a "Hardcore" territory with no DQ/count-outs.

I've run both of those and they're both fun in different ways. Also in the vintage fed, one dq roll only. Leads to some interesting stuff.
