I was thinking it would be cool if there was a way to ask a promotion you work for to hire your buddies. I'm not saything this kind of think happens in RL at all *AHEM*The Disciple*AHEM* Excuse me. But it would be handy in the game for keeping long-running tag teams together when you switch promotions.

Especially give how long it takes to build experience in teams, it would be great not having to start over in each new fed.

Of course from there it's just a short step to a full-fledged "backstage politics" module. I can see it now, buttons like "Kill Worker's Push" or "I Need More TV Time" would be just the beginning...

I like this idea a lot. There are so many times that I dread leaving a promotion simply because I've developed a really fun tag team.
In my opinion, there are times when wrestlers (and managers) should be package deals. In the CornellVerse, if I want to play as Warlord Pain, it would be great if I could use some pull to get Agony to join me.
Or historically, the Road Warriors and Precious Paul Ellering. Or Adrian Street and Miss Linda.

Add The Midnight Express and Jim Cornette to that list,The Rock n' Roll Express,The Fabulous Ones(for a few years anyway),The Wild Samoans(for the most part),Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth...heck even the lesser known Grapplers usually came as a pair.

Great idea,and it would fit historical precedent.

This idea is really cool. It would be neat if it worked in reverse also, where you could burn a level of friendship with someone to get them to swing a tryout match for you. I want to play someone's flunky, dangit!
