What Titles Do You Have?


Recommended Posts

Playing NWA beginning in 1984. It's now 1986. I just took NWA to International.

 

I am thinking about Upgrading my Title picture with four Main Event Titles (World, World Tag and International, International Tag) and then have quite a few Floating "National" stlye titles (IE: North American, European, Asian Pacific etc.)

 

Got me curious...

 

What titles do you use in your game?

World Title - Main Event level

Tag Titles - Main Event

Singles Tournament/Tag Tournament - Main Event (these are my "fill that pesky contract obligation" titles)

Trios - Floating

Lightweight - Midcard

TV - Floating (I usually put this on a trainer and use him to beat up on youngsters who need to learn)

What is the benefit of a floating title?

 

I believe floating titles were added because of how the WWF IC, WCW US, TNA X Division and ECW TV titles were treated where sometimes they were treated as borderline main event titles.

 

That was usually because of who was holding them and the feuds that built the importance of the title up. Like at Unbreakable 2005, Joe, Daniels, and Styles's X division match was made to be more important and more "must see" than the World title match and it main evented the pay per view.

 

As far as benefits go, the only one I've ever seen was I put a low level floating belt on a lower midcarder and he held onto it for years and by the time he was a main eventer the belt was as prestigious my main event title.

 

Not sure I actually answered your question though :p

In the longest game I have ever had since I started playing the TEW series (Back with 08) I am playing a game with FCW I ran the game as FCW for 12 years before changing the name of the company to MSWA-Main Stream Wrestling Alliance.

 

My titles are as follows

 

MSWA Heavyweight Title - Main Event Level (Formally the FCW Puerto Rican Championship)

 

MSWA Regional Title - Midcard Level (Formally the FCW Peoples Championship)

 

MSWA Tag Team Titles - Midcard Level (Formally the FCW Tag Team Championship

I typically run with 4 titles (Main event singles, midcard singles, midcard tag, low level). After a few years developing tag teams, I add a main event tag title. If I go crazy and really bloat the roster (typically in RW games if I'm based in Japan), I'll add a low level tag title but that's really rare.

Title Scene

 

This sort of depends on the size of my Fed. When I'm playing with a WWE sized Fed, I usually run two main event titles, a midcard title, a low level title (usually a cruiserweight title) and a floating tag title.

 

My World Heavyweight title is my "main" title- I figure there are very few people capable of holding it.

 

My Next title down is similar to the 1980's IC title- these are main event/ very upper middle card guys, but I'm still not sold on them as a main eventer. So I use this as my "test" belt. Can they have good matches not only with main eventes, but carry lower guys to a B level match? Do they get over with the crowd?

 

My midcard title is actually a little better than the old European title- more like what the IC title is now. It's a midcard feud belt- basically give a bunch of guys something to do.

 

My cruiserweight tends to be a low level belt- get guys into the middle of the pack and then see what happens to them. Usually I get this belt off of a successful cruiserweight by having someone cost them the title and feud off of that.

 

My Tag title tends to be floating, if for no other reason than I can use a mix of guys.. plus if I can get the tag scene going and guys start getting over, the talent doesn't complain that they're too good for the belt.

 

 

In a smaller fed, I'll use a lot fewer belts- a Main Event, a very active midcard belt- sort of a TV style- must be defended at every TV/PPV event (if I don't have TV then I obviously don't call it that, but still it must be defended). I'll also usually have a lower level belt that's specific to my talent. If I have a lot of aerial guys, I'll have an "Action Title" or if I have brawlers I'll have a "Hardcore Title" again, just to give the lower card guys something to do.
