Has anybody ran or currently run their LWF as a studio wrestling promotion? I have thought about running a Georgia territory with all of my cards being one hour studio wrestling events; four matches with ringside promos. I think it would be great for those with little time, or for those wanting to run a small roster. I didn't grow up in this era, but I really enjoy watching the studio wrestling that's been uploaded to YouTube! Well, I'm just wondering if anybody does or has run their LWF in this fashion.

There was one Fed posted not too long ago that was modeled on the old late 70's/early 80's Georgia Championship Wrestling show syndicated on WTBS: GWF Wrestling: robtoxinCommentary & promo intensive! |

A few years ago, wildfire put together a cooperative federation utilizing LOW and bootlegs. It was a very fun project where we bid for rosters, etc.
Anyway, I ran a studio fed for a year with, on average, an hour long Saturday morning show and 2 house shows a week. It was 'as I remembered wrestling'.
My normal set up for the studio show was 3 matches. Two squash matches and a competative match between mid-level to upper mid-level talent. There was also 2-3 interview segments and a highlight/review segment for the announcer covering the big happenings at the house shows. All the promos, etc. were geared to drawing people to the house shows.
I really like this setup because you can consintrate teh storylines in one show yet still have many matches at the house shows.
Here's a couple of examples:
Smoky Mountain Saturday
