Tomato Can Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The year 1986. I am running the AWA. We just bought out the WWF. What would you do? Would you: 1. Keep The Titles totally separate and have two brands (AWA and WWF) with it's own World Champions? 2. Would you Unify the Titles and just make the AWA World Title the only real World Title ( I refuse to just keep the WWF Title and do away with the AWA)? 3. Would you make the AWA and the WWF two separate "territories" each with it's own champion BUT crown a new WORLD CHAMPION (no idea what the title would be called yet) and let him float between the two? 4. Other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lr10540 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Being it's only 1986, I'd unify them and erase WWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Nection Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I would make WWF your development territory....it would be a trophy to remind you that it is always the inferior organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullMETAL Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I voted 1, AND in addition to that, they should hold an annual supershow between the 2 where both main champions fight to be Champion Of Champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being 1986 it would make Greg a huge heel stabbing his beloved father in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bison Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'd go with Unifying the titles and erasing the WWF. It's your world now, no reason to keep another company around mucking up your world champion's claim as top dog, even if it's the WWF in name only.

dubb93 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Absorb them and make a run to National with a brand split and running two "separate" and competing companies. Run a major yearly major event where the companies compete in a best of seven series with champion vs. champion matchups and then multi man survivor series matchups filling out the rest of the card.

HollywoodRx Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have the same thing in my game, I buy the WWF in 1993 after the steroid and sexual scandals. I mix the WWF and the WCW PPV, and unifie all titles. But to still have a war, I import the WWE from 2016, with Vince McMahon has the owner (I let him unemployed). They have a lot of money, there are a lot of popular wrestlers unemployed for them, and they also had other tv shows and events (I own WCW Raw, or WCW Wrestlemania/Royal Rumble...)
