How many feds do you run... and how do you handle them?

[steviedreamer]

Hello.  Currently, I am running FUTURESHOCK 2115 CWF alongside GO FIGHT POW and NEXT DIMENSIONAL WRESTLING.  I have to have MOUNTAINS of patiencen to give each of these projects the detail and attention each needs.  Now I am VERY interested in starting up CHIKARA!  Just sent for the Intro Set.  Question:  How many feds do you run at once?  How do you handle them all?  Has it ever become too much?  How do you organize??

Great question!

I have 1 COTG Fed, 2 Legends (1 Online & 1 Physical Cards) and 9 Indy Feds.

For all my Feds it's all about winning championships. For each game month I run a singles and a tag team tournament with the top performers earning title matches. I do this for several reasons:

1. The unpredictable nature of a tournament adds an extra layer of fun and excitement to the game for me.

2. When I play I don't want to spend time thinking up angles and storylines. I just want to roll out matches.

3. I have nary a creative bone in my body so even if I did want come up with storylines and angles they would probably get pretty repetitive or would be so outlandish that some of Vince Russo's ideas would look great by comparison.

I rotate through all my Feds one at a time so they all get equal attention. Once I add in more COTG and Legends sets I will likely have to split those rosters into multiple Promotions though.

GWF

Indies (2) JAWA & WWIII

Legends() LWF, WCW ,Anarchy In the UK & Social Media Wrestling

Ring Of Honor, Chikara, Shimmer, CZW, and Evolve

Don't think I have missed any out?

Handle them? Too Much? Handle them - 100% by my rules, its the same for everyone. All feds I play winner stays on and losers goes to the bottom of the pile (no matter who they are). What is rolled is rolled even if it is a 0min05 main event PPV match. I stay with it even though I know you will probably never see a Wrestlemania main event match that long. Though there was that Sheamus v Daniel Bryan match. It is never too much, just struggle trying to keep up with all feds. I just keep doing the best I can.

I've only ever had one legends fed but I'm considering splitting it into separate brands just to maximise card usage and relive the 80s.

I'm the same way as Paul is. My month is made up of a single elimination tournament with the winners getting a shot at the championship at Supercard at the end of the month.

More drama, more surprises and any matches that end in doubles can be added to the Supercard if they don't win the tournament. Alot of times the tournaments write themselves.

Lessee
2 Regular Legends fed, 1 occasional fed
GWF
Future Shock
Kronos
TEW
Random Indy Shows
a planned IPW fed later this year
and my MOTU fed

so 10 feds. I just run what my mood is which is Legends primarily and then the others when I feel up to it.

(1) COTG FED
(1) KRONOS FED
(1) LOW FED

I do extensive angles and programs in all three so they keep me busy.

[Vegas]

I think I have 18 or 19 active feds (I would have to recount all of my Indie feds to know for sure)

1 LOW fed (with a 3-brand split)

2 COTG feds (Centra and GWF, my GWF has 4 separate fed threads/chapters but they are all the same fed Ring of Vega)

15 or 16 Indie feds (all part of my Vegas Indie Universe or VIU)

I rotate them. For example, Tuesday through Thrusday this week I am playing Ring of England (ROE) and then on Froday I am olaying Ring of Vegas (ROV.)

[throwingtoasters]

1 GWF Fed
1 Legends Fed (with 3 different territories)
1 indies fed that is run in conjunction with my legends fed
1 Legends fed that is strictly online and played on my youtube channel.

I usually play in a six month cycle. GWF for 6 months after the new set comes out in July. Then Legends for 6 months until July.

I play a fed until I get bored or until I hit a big show, then pull out another set. Rinse and repeat.
