I played out about six months of this previously and didn't like how the system played out long term. I was just letting the rolls dictate the booking and it really left a lot of holes depending on the week. So I'm restarting and I'm going to do some booking of my own. The rolls will always override my side booking but I want a more fleshed out story.
I also plan to have kind of a meta-story to this. Mainly, this is a WCCW starting out with Fritz Von Erich as the owner and commissioner. They've secured a deal on ESPN but he has a limited roster of guys starting out. Some hot acts to be sure but the roster has the holes that a starting promotion will have. The starting time will be April, 1984.
This is more of a side project, so it might be off and on with updates.
