Some sort of angle order?

I kind of treated it as a title that I put on the guys that I start the show with-- the people in Work The Crowd matches that start the show off hot. I liked doing that because the midcard is so open, and contenders aren't in a small division like the tag titles or the Women's title or have to be popular enough to challenge for the main title. So I could have a title being defended on TV instead of burning matches for those other titles.

In the 2016 database, it really depends on your destiny roll for time decline, as most saves. The top of the roster is pretty old. Also, it is really hard to keep your stars. My save is two years and Vessey, McFly, Love, Natural, Tim, and Bloodstone are all gone. It's really hard seeing these guys with like B+ popularity in Canada, E popularity in America, and never being on SWF and USPW shows. The only people I've managed to keep or sign are Aaron Andrews, DeColt, and Cavanagh.</p>

As long as your main event and, to a lesser degree, co-main event are good, it seriously does not matter. </p><p> </p><p> You can also have champions even "suited to the prelims" and, through momentum and title prestige, would be fine for main events.</p>

If you're making a comfortable profit at Cult, is there any real reason to move up to National?

I decided to start my first NOTBPW game and after a rough start and wanting to quit the save, I am really enjoying it. I'm in October 2016 right now. It took me a little while to understand how to book, but I have gotten used to the idea of leaving people off shows, and 4 ways and multi-person tags have helped out a lot. After booking TCW and SWF for so long, I had to completely change my ordinary show format and focus on the in-ring product more.
