Out of those, who would you cut? And how do you release people (as in with what bias)? Sorry for the length of the post, just an intrigued son of a gun!

Simple. Cut guys you either -

Do Not Like
Don't have an Upside
Not Popular/Over Enough

or alternatively

Just send some to development if they fall under the second two categories, but you happen to like them.

Do what I've done with my SWF game. I've created a brand split to have 2 house shows (covering Canada and Mexico) but my TV shows are non-exclusive so all wrestlers are available. I have 2 major belts, 3 midcard belts and a tag team belt.

I've also created 3 development territories my most popular regions where I've dumped about 30 decent wrestlers.

I do like Jaysin's cuts minus Swagger, Vickie Guererro and Lay-cool.

The thing is though milamber, if you I do end the brand split and don't cut people, how would I keep wrestlers happy? Surely they'd all want to be on the Televised shows? And if Locker room morale effects turned on, it would essentially turn the locker-room against the booker?
