If a wrestler maxes out on skill points, then they "retire" from in ring work and do just mic spots and skits.
It forces me to use other wrestlers further down the card that I don't use as much.
The only time this has caused any real problems with booking has been in the ladies tag division. Almost every ladies tag team that I have has 1 person with maxed out skills. So I have been forced to make some unofficial tag teams.
At year 5 on my second play through (year 25) and spending $0 real money, it mixes things up and I'm not booking the same stuff every week.
I have had 3 chances to bump someone to legend, but I've chosen not to do it until both gimmicks are fully maxed out. Once I do get a legend, I'm going to only book them on P4Vs.

Champions do not appear on weekly shows unless they just absolutely have to. (The game force books them into a match or mic spot)

I do something similar--the big difference is here you can always upgrade and move people up where in 80s you can't. I'm basically moving up as far as I feel their real-life "inspiration" would be. So my only Legendary right now are Cena and Lesnar, although Undertaker will certainly get there and maybe some others. |

I feel like for the most part they're spot on--I think the only one I've changed is the first HFK to Legendary. |

Well after getting back into the game I have came up with a few personal rules but these are generally more for cash spending and strategy wise.
- Since I have all the wrestlers, besides Yoshimuro, I only put wrestlers that need skill points into matches.
- During the P4Vs with special skits or mic spots that guarantee a point I only put in upper midcarders, that way I don’t have to pay as much later for the last points.
- Only pay for training for openers or midcarders. Preferably openers first but if I like a certain midcarder than I will buy training for them.
- Only upgrade and switch gimmicks of wrestlers when I get the gimmick and regular token, which has caused me to have multiple maxed wrestlers already.
- When switching a gimmick of a wrestler, I go for upper midcarders rather than openers or midcarders.
- Almost all 3v3 matches are faction vs faction except for at Survival of the Fittest, there I have anyone who needs skill points go against each other.
- Since I have all the wrestlers, I play on buying all the skits and mic spots before going for the new wrestler and the events.
- If I’ve filled all tournament spots with wrestlers needing skill points, I put an alt of one of the wrestlers needing a skill point.
- All tournaments fill out a basic format for how I put wrestlers in except the Tag Team Invitational. Which is where I just throw any tag team in.
- The basic format for tournaments is usually the first match is the first person who needs a skill point going from A-Z against the first person who needs a skill point from Z-A. (Example: Avarice vs Zeta Quade). Then the 2nd and 3rd tournament matches will either be the first 2 wrestlers who need a skill point from A-Z or Z-A. (Examples: Bao Zhang vs Donny Atomic, Thumper Moore III vs The Silencer). Then the last match would basically be the same as the first match except switched. (Example: Shaolin Hero vs Greg Quebec). If those all make sense sorry if its confusing.
- I try to reframe from doing good vs good or bad vs bad but I’m totally okay with tweener vs tweener. And if I do have to do good vs good or bad vs bad, I try to substitute one for a tweener and if not then I go for an alt like Nevermore for example.

I have made some rules on the go as I have been playing.
-My first ppv of the year is always battle royal. For this I use only main eventers and Upper Midcards. The week before the ppv in the triple threat match I use only main eventers the winner is the last man
entering and the losers are the first and second to enter.
-The second ppv is couples therapy and the triple threat championship match is the champion against the number one contender and the winner of the rumble.
-The 3rd ppv is the tournament that I use as a money in the back sort of tool were the winner has a title shot in any of the months were the contender for the world title is determined by a promo. The participants of the tournament are mostly midcarders of upper midcards.
-For Champions Clash I try to use mostly blood fueds or faction fueds so I give them some build up.
-The 5th ppv is the tag team invitational and for this I always have an unoficial tag team on the mix to shake things up a little bit. I also use this tournament to see what tag team I will push.
-the rest of the ppv I try to do some of the same things. The tournamets are for midcarders to be pushed. Summer Smash is kind of like Champions clash of the fueds.
-For Survival in november I try to build some fueds with factions or make one of my own. Right now in this playthrough I have a heel faction lead by GQ who has been world champion and is the current tv champion with the longest reign with 12 defences and he keeps tearing apart the entire roster. The faction also includes 3T and Reviver as the tag team champs and Grifter as the crusierweight champ. It helps a lot that some of the few flavor cards I have are Vile act and Immoral Insults to benefit them and the are currently some of the best promos I have and they back up all their trash talk and I am planning on using them a lot more in the future.

Im in the middle of my first playthrough so I havent gotten any ME wrestler yet. Also im pretty sure i dont have even 1/3 of the full roster.
- The CW Championship is always defended in a Submission Match (emulating the Pure Title in ROH).
- The TV Title is only reserved for either: 1.) Those I plan to ascend, 2.) The "Heavier" tag partner - While the lighter goes for the CW title- or 3.) Upper Midcarders on losing streak.
- All tournaments are seeded based on the W/L records.
- Tournament winners are not allowed to participate in the following 5 years. Exceptions only after status and/or gimmick change.
- RR spot criteria: Uppers I dislike < Midcarders I dislike < Openers I like < Midcarders I like < #4-#1 Seeds.
- Alternating Gentleman's classic (Even years) and Devil's dance (Uneven years).
- The CW and Tag team champions are barred from participating in the CW cup and the Tag Team Invitational. The winners of both tourneys become the N#1 contenders.
- Beyond Wardrome's ME is always a Steel Cage match.
- The CW cup ME is always a Submission match.
- Devil's dance ME always has a hardcore stipulation.
- Requirements for March of Madness participants: Midcarders only; Never being a World champion; Nor a RR winner; Not being part of the Tag Team division.
The winner earns a 6 months mega push (also gets the most expensive sponsorship available).
- Survival of the Fittest MUST be faction vs faction and the highest Single wrestler + Designated tag team. Also seeded by averaging the factions participants' W/L records. If the teams are incomplete or unavailable due to other commitments then headcannon prevails. (Alexei + Wheelmen, Richie + Numbskulls, Amani/Shadow + Mindbenders, Hearse + Bad Brains, Europa + Foo & Blue).
That's pretty much it.
Ps. I keep a little notepad so I dont bury/overpush. Do you guys do the same?

I've split my roster into two
Moshpit Monday - Main roster
Slamdance - Cruiserweight Division
There must be at least two matches and two other segments dedicated to Slamdance every week (excluding P4Vs)

My main rule was that the March Mania winner headlines Champ Clash with a World Title opportunity. But then one year Gregorian won March Madness in a series of very sub-par matches. We tried a push for the big guy & the crowd wasn't digging it. Plus, at the same time I was in the middle of a really good feud with King Solomon (world champ) and Gridiron. So, that year I broke my own rule & the King & Gridiron headlined CC.
I guess another rule I have is that the Cruiser Champ is never entered into the Cruiser Cup because the winner of that becomes #1 Contender. Same with the Tournament of Queens for the Ladies.
Like some others have said, I usually use the Triple Threat match right before the Battle Royale to determine who enters last.
Also, the matches at Halloween Hellraiser are usually all Hardcore style matches (Weapons, Death Match, Barbed-Wire, Exploding Ring, etc...)
Its not a rule of mine, because I don't abide by it 100% of the time, but I thought it was interesting that someone above said their Cruiser Championship is always defended in a Submission Match because mine is almost always defended in a Ladder Match. I associate Cruiser Weights with the high flyers in my mind.
