GWF is the parent company. Territories will come along later. I decided to start small, and build up from there. I felt I was overhwelming myself at the start by doing 7 territories. Going this route, I will eventually build up to the territories.

Good luck with your new fed and thanks for citing mine as an inspiration. I love running multiple territories even if it can feel like a burden at times but ultimately it's a lot of fun. I will definitely be following your fed as I like the GWF-LOW mix.

Well I decided to modify again(yeah I know, I just started.) I decided to go back to the territory system, and call my parent fed Global Wrestling Alliance like before. But for now, I'm starting with two territories, All Star Wrestling and United States Championship Wrestling. THe ASW will be home to COTG wrestlers, starting with the 2087 roster, plus a few others. THe USCW will be home to LOW wrestlers. I will probably add a 3rd fed shortly, which would consist of COTG wrestlers starting with New Beginnings. I may also be adding a developmental style fed, consisting of GWFZ and LOTF wrestlers. Each fed will have their own champions, US Heavyweight and Tag Team for USCW, and North American Heavyweight and Tag Team for ASW. my GWA World Champions will remain in tact, and tour the territories.
I played through about 10 cards of the combined roster, and though I had fun with it, and had some interesting stuff going on, I ultimately decided this is the way I want to go. Of course, there will still be crossover from time to time, but I wanted the distinct feds.
HEre is a quick rundown of some of the highlights from my fed.
Current Champions: GWA World Champion: Thantos GWA World Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors
USCW United States Heavyweight Champion: Jimmy Snuka USCW United States Tag Team Champions: TBD
ASW North American Heavyweight Champion: TBD ASW North American Tag Team Champions: TBD
Some interesting feuds popped up during the first 10 cards.
-The Space Croppers vs Iron Shiek/Nikolai Volkoff was a fun, bloody feud. Volkoff and Shiek showed through this feud just how brutal, and violent they can be, bloodying the Space Croppers on multiple occassions. The feud ended in a First Blood Match at the first Madison Square Garden Supershow, which was won by Volkoff and Iron Shiek.
-Omega/Star Warrior vs Nick Bockwinkle/Buddy Rogers was another fun feud, pitting the ultimate face team against the ultimate heel team. Rogers and Bockwinkle were constantly finding ways to one up the faces, and get under their skin. Omega would win the feud(at least seemingly) after beating Bockwinkle straight up, one on one, at the MSG Supershow. Buddy Rogers and Star Warrior are set to meet in a Steel Cage Match on the next card(which will be the last combined card) to settle their feud.
-Frank Gotch vs Morpheus has been another good feud. Gotch was being promoted as the ultimate shooter, and quite the feared opponent, with his array of painful submissions. But Morpheus wasn't impressed, even after being beat by Gotch, which he called a fluke. Morpheus claimed Gotch couldn't match the power of Morpheus. Gotch would prove otherwise in their first two meetings, and it was thought this feud would be short lived. THen Morpheus cost Gotch the match against Thantos for the World Title. The two met in a Texas Death Match at the MSG Supershow, which Morpheus won. He then proceeded to bust Gotch open with two chair shots to the head after the match. The two will meet in a Steel Cage grudge match on the first USCW show.
-Massif and King Kong Bundy was another fun little feud, set off by King Kong Bundy attacking Massif after a loss to him, and squashing him with the AVALANCHE. The feud ended with Massif winning a STeel Cage Match at the MSG Supershow.
That's what's gone on so far. More to come.

Fuzz:
Another way you could run your fed, and not have it feel overwhelming, is to run your cards as "highlight" cards, which essentially would feature title matches and top feuds from all your territories. This is how I do it, and its pretty easy to keep up with actually.
A sample card consists of something like the following:
*GWF Triple Crown World Heavyweight Title: Endgame vs. Buddy Rogers *USAW Heavyweight Title: Killer Kowalski vs. Lou Thesz *LLOA Doubles Crown: Kings of Wrestling vs. Venusian Guard -# 1 Contender's Match for the ICW Title: Pride vs. Invincible Krakan *WGX Title: Tiger Mask vs. Austin Aries
And so on and so forth. Each card is a sampling of action from all the territories. I don't actually "run" each territory, just focus on the top action and the titles. It works quite well.
For a more detailed explanation of this, visit Rob B's fed thread entitled "R.O.B.'s Rings of Battle", or something like that, on Swarm's Message board, in the LOW fed thread home.

Thanks for the input Stu. It's funny you brought that up, because after reading your most recent post, I was thinking maybe I should go to that style too. I think after I play out a few more cards, I may start going the highlight show route.
