Is there any thought of having one of the PPV's turn into a King of the Ring style tournament? 8 man or even 4 man would be awesome. Either that or a 10 Man Battle Royal?
Also, any chance Foil cards could use bonus cards like Tag Teams and Feuds? That would be beneficial to getting higher match ratings and get more use from them.
Title contenders. A functional list of the top 3-5 Contenders where users can assign wrestlers to the list and matches will get bonus match ratings based on the wrestlers rank and involvement in matches against one another. A way to do "feuds" in game while not necessarily having to create new cards for feuds. This is also a way to remind yourself to use certain characters and cycle them out accordingly.

Like most people on here who are playing this game, Im guessing it was the hook of running your own wrestling federation and telling the storys within it, that brought you to download the game.
In the past I have played Total Extreme Wrestling to satisfy my itch of being a wrestling booker, but in the end that game always felt a little flat to me.
I love the idea of collecting cards within this game, and have genuine excitment when I know the shop is about to refresh. Sad I know.
Anyways, I have put many hours and a small amount of money into the game, my small way of supporting the developers, who are in the process of making a game that has the potential to be really good, and scratches the itch I have to manage a wrestling federation.
Like most who play the game, I do have my own ideas on what would improve it. Some ideas probably not possible within the game engine, and some ideas probably not the direction the developers want the game to go in, but hey ho, im gonna throw it all out there.
So for those that want to indulge me and my ideas (which there a lot, some even posted already on here) read on...
I would like the game to go down the management simulation mode more, having to pay the wrestlers wages to use them on the show, backstage politics (the likes of Hulk Hogan, shawn micheals etc well known for it) starting out as a small indie fed and working your way up to getting tv deals and ppvs, some wrestlers you have cant be used untill you reach a certain level because of reputation, managing finances where you could potentially go bust and have to start again would add a new dynamic.
Generic storyline cards, we all know in wrestling that some feuds start with something as simple as 2 wrestlers bumping into each other in a corridor. within these storylines certain segments have to be hit for the storyline to move forward.
Draw - I believe could be more fluid, with it moving up or down, depending on whether a wrestler is winning or losing alot, being involved in high rated segments and good storylines, or even just being off the show for a while affecting it.
Run in cards - every week on wrestling one wrestler or another is running in on a match to affect the outcome. could be good for moving storylines on or starting a feud.
Chemistry - certain wrestlers just have it with each other, and always put on a good match.
Outside federations - competing sim feds that are in direct competition, talent raids, tv ratings if on tv at same time.
Audience - find your niche to get your demographic and give them what they want. Hardcore, PG, Risque, etc.
commentry team - adds bonus to the show, the better the cards.
Awards - bonus for wrestlers chosen.
Wrestler stats - while should have a top line potential, paying for some sort of training in either skill, mic, or charisma school to boost potentail in relevant stat.
Showpiece matches - Royal Rumbles, money in the bank, king of ring etc, where winner automatically gets title shot at next ppv and is involved in storyline with the champ.
Morale - if a wrestler is happy he performs better and vice versa. Morale being affected by being used on show, being used in spots they good at, with wrestlers they like and with the reverse affecting negativly.
Achievments - achieving certain acheivments along the way unlocks special cards.
Authority figure cards - can be used for storyline purposes.
Winner cards - can purchase a choose a winner card.
Anyways I think that will do for now, I know theres more but am getting brain drain atm writing this.
Would like to hear anyone elses suggestions or comments on mine.
Peace out!

First I would like to say that I really love this game. I have spent many hours as most of you have playing this game enjoying the fun Factor. There are a few things that I would enjoy seeing in the future. * would love to see more women's matches during the year. I've finished years where I have several women who haven't even participated at all, and the one that was most active only had six wins and 2 title defenses.. I usually hesitate to upgrade the pop or Mic on the women just because of the fact that I will not get to use them much during the year.
* Secondly, I would like to see the end of the year Awards mean more. Maybe some kind of boost going into the next year and then maybe going away either Midway through the year,the next year or after injury.
That's all I have for right now. Love playing the game and would like to thank the creators for putting this together. Looking forward to more fun in the future.

First of all, this is a tremendous game for what it is. Excellent user interface, great characters that bring me back to growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. I feel like I used to 30 years ago with the Hulk Hogan vs Sting arguments you would have with your friends, except I can finally settle it with their in game counterparts. Great job dev team!
I’d love to have a friend feature added in the future where you could choose to share your fed with others. Maybe Laser has been ridiculously OP in my fed so far, but for someone else he can’t buy a win even with Hulking Up. It’s tremendous fun to see what my guys are doing; it could be multiplied to when that fun is shared with others.
I’d also like to see cards where you, as the commish, can directly interact with your fed. Wrestlers were stripped of belts all the time in the 80’s because of beefs with management— we could add a card for that as a skit. Wrestlers were suspended as well, often to return to a huge pop— a maybe a card to make someone inactive for four weeks with a bonus star for their first match or promo coming back. I’m just learning the game, and maybe cards like this exist, but if not, I’d be down for more cards like this.

Well, since this has become the suggestion omnibus thread, I'll throw some thoughts I've had in this topic.
One, I'd like to have the option to vacate a title held by an injured or inactive wrestler. The current system is functionally fine. I just hate having a champion out for like two months, having him pop up every time the title needs to be defended, and being absent the rest of the time. Doesn't allow you to build things up naturally. There are things that could be implemented as far as how to decide a new champion - things like tournaments as have been suggested. At the very least, I'd just like it so the next time there is a scheduled title match, you can pick two wrestlers to fight it out for the vacant title.
Two, draws when a title is defended should count as a successful title defense. That's the champion's advantage, right? A defense doesn't mean you have to win; it just means you can't lose. At the very least I think time limit draws should count. Double DQs and count outs I could go either way on. Those things are considered to be "no contest" usually, but a time limit draw shouldn't be thrown off the official record, right?
Three, I think it'd be neat if there were contenders lists, much like you'd see in the old PWI magazines. These could be automatic based on in-game statistics, manually operated merely as a way for players to better organize who should be getting the next title opportunity, or perhaps some combination of both. ------------------------
The last idea I have is much more involved: expand the universe. I think the most effective way of doing this would be to have a game mode that works on a draft and contract system. I would suggest making this a mode that is only possible on NG+. At the beginning of the game, all the talent is put into a draft. Each promotion starts drafting to a certain roster size. The player picks a promotion as usual, but they can only sign wrestlers whose cards they have. Once all 3 promotions hit the quota, everyone else becomes a free agent. Contract amounts and lengths are automatically set initially based on their card position. When a wrestler's contract expires, you must negotiate a new one. A wrestler might flat out deny your offer. To counter this, you could make mode-specific changes to help negotiate. For example, Exotic Rick refuses to resign under the conditions of his last contract. You can get him to stay by promoting him to main event status. As a courtesy, he decides to sign for less money and/or will sign a contract that lasts twice as long. For characters that have alter-egos, you can only sign one version/gimmick to a contract at a time. You sign The Piranha. If you want to turn him face as The Shark, you need to wait until his contract is up.
In this mode, the store would still run as it does now. Buying a card gives you access to negotiate with that wrestler. If he's a free agent, he's yours for the taking. If he works for another promotion, you'll have to wait until his current contract is up. Don't feel like waiting? Make an attempt to steal him from your rival who controls him. Of course, you are going to pay for the hefty legal fees that will cover that wrestler breaching his contract. Likewise, one of your rivals may do the same to you, but you'll get a large payday in return. This is a 20-year battle (or perhaps longer depending on if the scope of the game changes in the future) for supremacy after all. Each promotion will have a ranking and your goal is to be #1 and stay on top.
There are some major barriers to making something like this work. As I said, a lot of things would have to be mode-specific. Career lengths may have to be ignored, or at least simplified, in this mode for it to work. Because everything works on a "local" level, though, there are many things that could be implemented to this mode that can't be done in the other mode. For instance, the option to change a wrestler's alignment (if he's willing to work in his current gimmick with that disposition) would be possible here because it only affects the game mode and not the actual card. The main function is to feel that competition of having to operate in an actual universe other than one isolated promotion.

I'd like to see women wrestlers included in non-specific matchups. Keep doing things like Midcard Only, Openers Only, or even Ladies Only, but if there's just a generic 1 vs 1, 1 vs 1 vs 1, or Tag Team match, I'd like to see those treated like mic and skit segments, where they're open to anyone (with the caveat that women can only face women and men can only face men, of course, so once you put a woman in a match, THEN you're locked into a woman for the opponent/tag partner, and same for men).
I also think it'd be cool if there was an option to make a "regular" tag team partner a manager for a match (like Mike Bugg for a Mark Bugg match or Piranha/Mad Arab for a Troglo match).

Flawless One I like the idea of an actual progressive King of the Ring style tournament PPV, especially with the inclusion of a bracket. Even if wrestlers didn't gain any bonuses until the last few rounds (for a semifinals appearance at least) it would still make for an amazing update. I had made a similar suggestion for the Survival Series PPV during the game's first iteration. Now I think the game is already improved with the three man tag teams, but again having the option to have a progressive tournament would be phenomenal. I think one thing to bear in mind though (at least for me), is that most of us are Not programers and fail to understand the scope of work that even a "simple" update might entail. I can only speak for myself, but for now there has Certainly been progress since the first version, and I'm confident it will only get better.

I also think another cool "update" would be to actually go Back to allowing an old bug/glitch/loophole where a wrestler can hold Multiple Titles simultaneously. Granted you lose match opportunities for some wrestlers, but I thought it was just a cool feature. Furthermore, if a wrestler (Dude Brohan in my case) had multiple titles like World and Tag Championships he could at least give a match opportunity to his tag partner (Valedictorian).

Here are some ideas that I'd have to add:
1. In my current card deck I have more heels than babyface characters. Is it or will it be possible to change a character from a good guy to a bad guy or vice versa (or even perhaps a tweener)?
2. While there are grudge match cards that can be played (such as Starboy Vs. The Piranha), would it be possible for a characters to generate a rivalry after being involved in various segments together? Tag Team break-ups, match interference, or even talking smack from one character to another, would be a good way to get rivalries going.
3. Is it possible to create a federation that will allow use of characters at any time regardless of the era that they participate in? This would enable more match possibilities.
4. Would it be possible to add characters that resemble the following pop culture icons from the 80's & 90's (if they haven't already been created)?: MC Hammer Ryu Hayabusa (from Ninja Gaiden) Megaman John Rambo (from the Rambo movies) Freddy Kruger Jason Voorhees Michael Myers (from Halloween) Maverick (from Top Gun) Ice Man (from Top Gun) Mike Haggar (from Final Fight) Cody (from Final Fight) Billy Lee / Jimmy Lee (from Double Dragon) Phil Collins (the puppet version from Land of Confusion would be hilarious) Chucky (from Child's Play) E.T. Any or all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Any or all of the Battletoads Vanilla Ice (Yo, word to ya mutha) Lion-o (from Thundercats) Cobra Commander (from GI Joe) Optimus Prime (from Transformers) Megatron (from Transformers) Starscream (from Transformers) Any or all of the Ghostbusters Pac-Man Little Mac (from Punch-Out) Mike Tyson Evander Holyfield George Foreman Riddick Bowe Dan Rather / Tom Brokaw / Sam Donaldson Arnold Schwarzenegger Axel Foley (from Beverly Hills Cop) Larry Bird Michael Jordan Magic Johnson Superman Luke Skywalker Han Solo Chewbacca Boy George Billy Idol Max Headroom Michael Knight (from Knight Rider) Hannibal, Face, Murdock, & B.A. Baracus (from The A-Team) Pat Benetar Marty McFly & Doc Emmet Brown (from Back to the Future)
Since people have strong feelings for or against politicians you could have them classified as tweeners. Since this is a game that "makes fun of wrestling" & pop culture I've got nothing against innocent humor & satire. Ronald Reagan Bill Clinton Hillary Clinton

Arnold is also he beast who is that one barbarian character he was and he man Well, he played Conan The Barbarian in the two films (and a stand-in to Conan in Red Sonja movie). But He Beast is a He-Man analog (and He-Man was originally planned to be a Conan toy line, but after reading a Conan book, the higher-ups at Mattel decided not to use Conan directly, cause the books are not kid friendly).

A wrestler should be allowed to have more than 1 title.
A trios champioship would be nice too. With the creation of stable cards!
