I think I want to mix the Jack Hood character more into the Classics story when I do it. Maybe some "unsanctioned" bouts or something like that. I really like guys like Jack Hood, and especially Vice and the Gang of Three story.

I did it a couple of years ago. I remain pretty torn on my decision. I found my 2092 notebook a couple of months ago and I put honest thought into dropping my restart and picking back up my 2092.
A few things about my original fed. It was 2001 at the time and I was a budding young booker. I was trying to run a Raw and a Smackdown leading into a PPV every month. So I was looking at 116 shows a year. I also introduced too many titles, too quickly. So everyone had held belts and I was just burned out on trying to come up with a storyline feud for Exo-King vs. Mesmer for the 10th or 11th time.
So I restarted with about 6 years of hindsight in the window. I brought in jobbers for television. I cut the PPVs down to 4-6 a year. Now granted, I run three television shows a week but those are treated like one big show cut into three parts. The newer system is much easier on me as a booker. A decent length feud can take up half the year due to the slower pace and the slower pace also helps one feud flow into another. For all the matches I run a week, there's one feature level main event a week. Then a monthly Deimos show to supplement the PPVs. Instead of 900 matches a year of the main guys there's more like 150-200 matches a year that feature the big guys. The jobbers also help build the lower tier guys up and allows me to do filler feuds like Thantos vs. Pulsar while I prep Thantos for a bigger feud.
My regrets are that I lost the history of my other fed. I've tried to recreate some of those moments in this one but the dice don't always cooperate. Now granted, this fed has provided some great moments like Krakan messing with announcer Keller and Keller laying him out with a big punch.
I'm really 50/50 on it. I don't think I'd ever restart again though. 2087 is just too brutal to try and get through in any real fashion. I like running a television product and even with jobbers that was a tough year to manage.

The Morpheus-Omega storyline was one that I really wanted to add some color to in EC. Tom set them up as co-founders that split, but I thought adding the business "problems" to the mix gave their feud more meaning without making one of them "bad". The one thing that's frustrated me in EC, and it may only be my fed, is Morpheus seems to be a step behind Omega, Torin and Keller. He's won the title a couple of times, but never seems to hold on. Indeed. Torin is a great card and always seems to have the edge in all my EC runs against Omega and the gang!

If you go by the official storyline. Morpheus won the title initially, lost it to Omega fairly quickly and then never won it back. Really, his card matches up about where it should for the EC era.
Torin and Keller were great in my fed. But the feud to end all feuds was Omega vs. Screw. They had a big run of matches one year and all of the matches were really excellent.

Screw vs. Omega could be huge. You have that vailant by the rule player vs. the deadly hardcore POW style Screw who doesnt care!

I actually found all my EC stuff where I left off and have rolled March which is posted in the fed section and April 2076 is done, not typed though. It was like I never stopped rolling the dice for it!
