mharmon99 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I don't think there's ever been at thread for this topic. With Smackdown going live and the Brand Split coming back, lets discuss the brand split idea and how we use it in TEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharmon99 Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 How do you book your brand splits? Do you create two world championships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Give each brand a different identity, don't burry Smackdown it should be equal/almost equal to Raw, and don't have 2 world men/women world titles! I hate that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still have co-produced PPVs, then Smackdown's main event is the number one contender's match for the next PPV. The winner of that match faces the champion at the next PPV, while Raw determines the number one contender for month 3, and so on and so forth.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give each brand a specific set of titles (a floating, a midcard, and a tag), but generally have an unbranded world title, world tag title, and floating tournament title. I book the world title to be defended almost exclusively at cross brand events. The unbranded tag title I tend to book two or three times a month on branded events, and on cross-brand events. I usually have a good number of tag teams, so its fairly easy for me to find teams to serve as transitional champions or what have you.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I'm going through a transition period. I'm at International Size and have a lot of great talent.

Rebby Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 <p>I have literally never done a brand split in TEW. I haven't done it since the days of EWR. I am going to try it in TCW here shortly so we'll see how it goes.</p><p> </p><p> I dunno how I'll do the titles. I'm not very good at tag divisions and I don't have a huge roster so I'll probably keep one tag title. Probably two different midcard titles - no idea on the world title picture yet. I can't hire anyone in a Cult or above promotion due to owner goal, so I'm not gonna be boosting my main event scene overnight, so I don't think two world titles is gonna be feasible. We'll see how it goes.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my upper midcarders are at least B+ level popularity, so I can survive splitting the roster up.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebby Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 TCW, and I'm not really playing for keeps here. Not particularly concerned by the aftermath =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
