Title Prestige

Just an idea, and maybe it's mentioned... but how about if the actual Title Prestige determines what level of wrestlers would be best suited to hold it?

Say something like;

0-10: Enhancement
11-25: Opener
26-40: Lower Card
41-60: Mid carder
61-80: Upper Card
81-100: Main Event

If it worked like that then your main belt could fall below where it's meant to go... what would your main eventers compete over? Surely they'd then be too good for the main belt and then things would just get silly.....

Having said that I do think there should be spillover areas between belt levels. Like...

0-50: Low level
40-80: Midcard
70-100: Main Event

Hardly game breaking but I'd like it to be possible through my booking for a midcard belt to become better or equal to the main belt, just like ECW's TV belt was.

I think we should have 4 different stages for prestige, not just 3.

That would be nice, actually.

Isn't that the way it worked in EWR? I didn't really like that system, because most of my belts eventually came at or close to Main Event level. Of course, even with the World Heavyweight Title at 100 Prestige (IIRC), the game would tell me things like "Chris Jericho is too good for the World Heavyweight Title. It is better suited for someone like Mark Jindrak." That always pissed me off to no end.

Or the X Division title, once upon a time. Or hell, even the Intercontinental title back in the 80's.

What I'm trying to say is that I like this idea and I too would like to see it utilized.

[Omotigre]

i agree with theunholyicon, maybe 4 levels like theese:

0-45 Lowcard
45-65 Midcard
65-80 Upper Midcard
80-100 Main Event

There's nothing to prevent you from altering a maxed out Undercard/Midcard title so that it moves up a level, particualrly if the worker holding it is growing with the belt. Your midcard title is at 70%? Change it to a Main Event level and see if your champion can carry it to 100%.

This would be similar to the IC title in the 80s/90s, when being given the belt often marked the start of a sustained push (Warrior, Perfect, Hart) which would see the worker rise up the card.

However, if you then decide to drop the belt back down to the original level, I'm not sure if the prestige would change to the maximum or minimum for that level.

Good idea. And I don't think it matters if the prestige will drop back down when you switch it back. Once you start putting it on lesser guys again, it'll lost prestige, maybe pretty quickly, too.

I think that you should be able to push a midcard worker to the main event, and if he is carrying the midcard title still, it should give that title a bit of a boost. My worrie has been stated above as in EWR. I had a TNA game where the X-Divison title became more over than the world title(like 99 and 100), so that Angle and Christian wanted to feud over that title now insted. the problem was that it made my X-Division wrestles look stupid. By the time that game ended though Daniels held both and owned the roster, like he should be doing now :-p.

I think titles should keep growing even after the 100 prestige is achieved, it might not be in numbers. But how about titles reaching the legendary status, kinda like the event importance. That I think would definitely represent the importance of some titles in real life, titles like the NWA Hwavyweight belt, or the WWE belt.

As a sub-suggestion, players should be able to unify titles from promotions they bought and increase the above said importance. This would drive players to look for and buy other promotions out.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind something like that too... Only much broader.

0-50: Low
25-75:Mid
50-100:Main Event

Just feel that their should be a possibility that you could screw up your main event bad enough/do the low belt good enough, that somehow they can become close to equal.

[Wildcat]

The problem with having belts continue to grow past 100% and become legendary is that the wrestlers themselves do not, therefore no wrestler would ever be seen as good enough to hold the title.

How about something where Prestige begins to drop slowly the longer a champion holds the belt without defending it. eg. If it's not defended say at least every 8wks it loses prestige due to it stagnating. Much like Jeff Hardy and the IC belt.

I have no problem with him holding it, but he should be defending it against anyone good enough to challenge for it. Actually could make a good storyline. Uppermidcarder holds belt and feuds with Main Event Title holder while being distracted by those below wanting his belt. The ME could also use it to pull-the-strings of midcarders wanting a shot, which gives the ME a clear advantage when it comes to him defending against the UM. Just a thought.
