It's almost for sure pointless to give specific names as I'm currently in the year 2060, but here's what happened to me over the last few days (months in game)
I'm running a regional Canadian promotion (one of 6 in the region...I was one of 2 when I started the game). My top star (in the low to mid 80s over) decided it was time to retire. I run an intergender promotion, so my top star (a female) put over this guy who had been a fairly successful upper-midcard champion.
The issue, outside of her in the 80s all of my other top guys are in the low 40s. So after she put over the new guy, he's effectively pooped the bed. His match ratings are down...and on top of that, he's literally holding all 3 titles (ME, UM, and Tag). I planned on vacating the UM title, but at this point I think I have to move the ME title off of him.
In any event, I've turned the original champion into a manager (she's got a TON of charisma) with the hopes of getting some new and different guys over. It's all a work in progress.
Needless to say, this has been my longest game ever.
