combinethresher Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I'm currently running SAW as a popularity/comedy fed (similar to CHIKARA, for you indy wrestling dorks out there ), and while I'm figuring out singles feuds decently enough (I just bumped up to Regional from Small), I can't get the hang of tag team feuds. They never get the grades I want them to, and the guys involved never really get over. Has anyone here had any luck with tag feuds? I need some advice.
Teh_Showtime Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Try to get experienced teams. That is a huge bonus. Also try to use dark pre/post time to build experience if you find chemistry so that they can work their way to a tag exp bonus which would be 2 bonus for that 1 team
NicoTheUnique Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas ruled the tag team scene, at the managment of Paul Heyman. They defeated all challangers up and down the scene, they ran a gauntlet to challange themselvs, wrestleing everyone in their stipulation match chosen. They defeated Homicide & Low Ki in a New York Street fight. They defeated Samoa Joe & Kevin Steen in a 2 out of 3 falls match. They defeated Nigel MCguinness & Doug Williams in a Pure rules match They defeated The Hardy Boyz in a ladder match. They defeated Sami Calihan & Sterling James Keenan in a fans bring the weapons match. This alongside their 16 other deffences brought their legacy in 1PW to a HUGE level. At the 8th Annaversey show, Paul Heyman gave Charlie Haas a oral beatdown, and suddently out ran MMA STAR BROCK LESNAR, hit a f-5 on Charlie, grabbed his belt and hugged Shelton. Charlie Haas returned the folowing PPV with his new partner, Jack Swagger, to get revenge.
SWF Fan Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Try and boost a tag fued by incorporating a singles fued into it as well. Say for example you have someone of Steve Flash's quality vs Davis Wayne Newton in a old vs new rivalry. Begin to put them in 6 man tags with the tag fued so they can also learn off them if they are of lower levels. Especially if its main eventers teaming with a midcard tag team for a pop fed as well. Work run ins and stuff in matches with higher names making them lose, all the while building tag experience in your dark matches ready for when they finally meet on a show. The way I see it is you're only doing in dark matches what a team in real life would be doing, going to less seen shows to gain experience ready for a bigger company. Makes me feel a bit better inside, also works well if I'm bringing in tags on working agreements.

Renegade MMA 037 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 My biiggest fued was for the vacant title and was a best of 7 series between tag champs Ted Dibiase and Nigel McGuiness and they were fueding with Kofi Kingston and Ron Killings. Dibiase had been getting other people to attack Kofi and they even took out Kofis original partner Justin Gabriel.

As soon as youve got a couple of teams up to 40+ exp theyll start performing really well.
Eidenhoek Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 If you can foot the bill, you can kind of cheat things. Run a show in Australia (or wherever you have 0 popularity). Not a PPV, and not TV. Just a small show. You're going to lose money, hence the footing the bill. Make it a 4 hour long event (or less, but anyway...). The card? Tag matches, 6 minutes in-ring time. And the pre- and post- show. That should get a team...8 minutes per match with the extra time... 15 experience per two hours. Make the matches 0 intensity and 0 danger if you really want to protect their bodies. That's 30 experience you can build with a team, two teams if you pair them up the whole time. And the pre- and post- show (another 4 experience overall). I have yet to do this with TCW, mainly because I might have lost 2 million in two months due to relocation expenses.

Your issue there is also the repetition penalty. But experience is the tag motherlode, and the only way to get it is to keep teaming. Start teams to help develop people; complement each others' weaknesses, pair them against teams that have aspects they don't. Keep them to blow the roof off.
Eidenhoek Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I forgot about repetition. Either turn off that penalty (ha) or ignore it. That's why this is in Australia; we don't care about the rating.

No, that's not the problem - the problem is that you've just slashed the number of matches you can run where you DO care about the rating over a six-month period.
