Thoughts from the 75% mark:
I think two big shows a week runs through the roster too quickly and eats a lot of main events. I’m going to switch up the schedule on year 5 with one weekly show and a couple one hour weekend shows to make sure I’m still building up enough wrestlers and tag teams. I’m also thinking two night tournaments aren’t very special when you do four of them a year so I’m cutting back to two. I’ll probably do one ten cards in, one at the 30 card mark, and a two night Legendmania or something at the end of the year. I’m also wondering if bringing back Randy Savage, Antonio Inoki, and Harley Race so soon was a good idea considering it’s been ages since I’ve used Buddy Rogers, Rob Van Dam, or Lou Thesz. The beginning of year 5 might look quite different than the tail end of year 4.

Nothing like planning on phasing a guy out for him to start winning everything. Go Kurt.

Brilliant performance by Angle to win the Mile High Cup... I will be happy to see Danielson back for the next tournament... I'd be even happier to see a certain Phenomenal One make an appearance... Just thought I'd plant that bug in your ear.  Also wanted to say that running a two night tournament every quarter does not seem excessive, imo... Especially since you don't run a bunch of supercards throughout the year... Do whatever is the most fun for you... Same goes for talent rotation... It's only too soon to bring someone back if you really have no interest in bringing them back... Really enjoying everything you produce, my friend... Keep on rolling! |

I'll think about it. I'll probably do cuts and new signings at the end of the year to freshen things up. |
