sportsfanmas Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 As I mentioned in my dynasty report, I want to do something to counter the massive roster that WWF has in 1991. I can either do a brand split, which was something not even thought of in 1991, or I can start a brand new developmental company, or I can work a relationship with a smaller company to be their parent company. I listed the pros and cons of each in my WWF 1991 dynasty report, now I'd like to hear the opinion of you guys. I'm not sold on starting a relationship with a smaller company, simply because it seems I really wouldn't have any control over the company. But since I mentioned it, we'll see if it gets any votes.

sportsfanmas Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Those that vote, if you want to share what you voted and why, as I didn't make it public, that will be fine. I have the vote open until the end of the night Monday, then Tuesday I'll go with whatever gets the most votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a0161613 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 For me a brand split isn't an option. Not sure that you have the star power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha2117 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 What I would do i look around to see if there is anyone around you can pick up that would allow for the brand split and then decide. It might make for an interesting challenge. If not then go the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Honestly I would say none of the three because I like real world diaries to be somewhat grounded in reality. However, if I had to pick I would go with either becoming a parent company or opening a developmental company. I guess an argument could be made for a brand split because that is sort of what they had in the 80's. When they ran their house shows they had two, sometimes three touring groups. They would have the A group that would go to the major cities, the B group that would go to the second tier cities and towns, and I have no clue were the C group would tour or who was even on it but I did read that they did have a third touring group.

The easiest way would be the developmental company, I strongly believe. But we'll see. I might just take a gander, I've never tried a brand split before.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if there's any member of the McMahon family I want to see running things (not counting HHH because he's not technically a McMahon) it would have to be Shane. However, Shane McMahon as owner of WWF in 1991? Probably not lol</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfanmas Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'm leaving the poll open, just to see the end result, but I'm 99.9% sure I've made up my mind on what I'm going to do with WWF. Some people will be happy, some won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combatmedic Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 <p>I love playing late 80's - early 90's games because that is what I first started watching. When I play as WWF, the first thing I do is open a developpmental territory, but with some ground rules....</p><p> </p><p> 1: Half my lower card goes there</p><p> 2: I only sign a handful of hot prospects.... So of a group of Dean Malenko, Benoit, Guerrero, Taz, Regal, Jericho, only 3 get signed.</p><p> 3. I schedule my developmental group to run weekly shows to mirror what FCW and NXT does, in addition to the monthly shows.</p><p> 4. Anyone on the main roster who hasn't wrestled the previous 2 weeks will get assigned to developmental the day of the weekly shows. (This way someone like a Koko B Ware has another chance to have a match)</p><p> 5. Title holders will NEVER get called up. If I put Big Boss Man in developmental because of rule 4, and he wins a title that night, I will leave him there until he loses it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
