Number One Contenders?

[Nutlaw]

Probably wouldn't fit in this version, but having actual number one contenders matches would be fun and help build some suspense. Each belt could have a designated title holder and potential number one contender set for it.

Great idea.

To expand that, considering the kayfabe nature of the game, it would be great if there were 'Top Ten' rankings in each promotion. By doing so, the game could become more akin to the boxing world it emulates.

One of the more interesting things about the old wrestling magazines, imho, was that they would list the top ten wrestlers in each promotion they covered. Ranking them as such, as opposed to the existing 'Main Eventers', Upper Midcarders', etc., adds a better sense of legitimacy. Not to mention a better sense of career advancement.

For example, it seems as if it would be more fulfilling working your way up to being the #3 ranked wrestler in the WWF (lets say), rather than 'Opener' to 'Midcarder' (or whatever).

I'm an old NWA (not the hardcore rappers, the fed) fan so of course I love this added idea. There could even possibly be the "Overall Top 10" which would reference some of the fun "website" element of previous EW incarnations.

I like the idea of the top ten too. I remember back when WCW used to have the top ten with the U.S. Title being the #1 contender. It would be sweet if something like this could happen in the next WreSpri
