Thinking about a new idea, if I decide to get back into EWR: a 3-way competition run by me
Basically, I give ECW a Prime Time slot and adjust the networks so that each show can achieve the maximum rating of 8.00
Then, I take the entire WWE roster (wrestlers, non-wrestlers, managers, developments, even the announcers) and type them into a list...I then use Random.org to randomize this list. This list will be divided and it will be my newly drafted rosters.
There will be no deviating from the rosters Random.org give me...I could wind up with all jobbers or developmental guys on one show, all the champs on another, doesn't matter. I have to work with what I'm given, even if it means building new stars, stables, or titles.
Since each weekly show has the same maximum rating, it is easy to keep track of the 3-way ratings war. Also, each brand gets 4 PPVs (yes, for this game I'm even getting rid of the big PPVs) there is no brand interaction at ALL. It is 3 separate companies
So here are the house rules:
1. No deviating from rosters given to me
2. Every year there will be a draft at some point, also conducted by Random.org...each brand will get a certain number of people from the other two shows. Once again, no deviating. This is the only way that someone can have their show changed
3. I'm going to try to stray away from signing workers, but in the event I do...once again, I have no say over what show the person goes to...its all random.
4. I will only release a worker if I see no potential for them in the company at all. If I think they are better suited on another show, I can keep them around in hopes that the annual draft moves them.

I think it could be interesting, especially if I get a huge imbalance and have to work quickly to keep from a show getting canned.
