My experiance with my efed and the three or four others I’ve been involved with tell me that it’s damn near impossilbe to start with that many. I’ve only seen it done once because that guy James Bryant, who seems to have gone dark, was a total beast. His efed, started with about 16. It was amazing. Then it only lasted for one week haha. But the point is, he brought together that many people. Crazy. Most likely that won’t happen here so it’s best to scale down. Maybe start with four or six. It’ll be easier for you that way. My fed had 20 guys on the first show... and that didn’t include the handful of others being held back to make later debuts... I kept that bastard running for 17 straight weeks lol. But Jesus it was draining. I could see 12 being ok to start with if there are others helping to write (I was a lone wolf) and especially if it’s not a weekly show (mine was... I really didn’t make it easy on myself) but overall Mad Dog speaks sense. Start with a handful of people, 6 matches max per show and just get your bearings. Yeah, I got 7 wrestlers now and a part timer. I’m gonna cap it off at 10 regulars. For now at least. Moving on from that, I will have to add another writer I suspect.

But it took a long time for us to get seven. I don’t project a tenth wrestler any time soon.

Man, twenty. That’s interesting. How did you recruit that many?

Also, would it address both problems (need a Fed head but also want to be community driven) if there was a rotating “Commissioner” position that switched out every month or couple of shows or whatever, instead of there being a permanent head? Or even if Price or Scarlett become the “Figurehead” in terms of being a kind of constant line of communication, overseeing the general direction, etc, the Commissioner would have a month in which to play boss and have a bigger say on things like cards and short-term angles or even being the final word on booking all/some finishes if you wanted to go balls to the wall with the risk taking?
You could have the fed taking dramatically different directions each month - like that game (I forget which one, Dwarf Fortress or something) where the save file got passed around a bunch of different “kings” who reigned for a year or whatever, passing the story on from one to another and coming up with loads of crazy stuff between them all. this obviously could be a good thing, or it could be a bad thing.
This might not be quite what Mongo wants I admit, but it might be a cool idea to experiment with.

Man, twenty. That’s interesting. How did you recruit that many? Cheating. Lol well not quite, but it was a place like this one with lots of different feds - a few of them were on hiatus and very stop-started so I basically started a fed to give a home to characters that were being under-utilised. Also a fair few were created fresh for my fed. So so this was good for me because there was a good mix of names that were already established within our network and already had “superstar” status, along with brand new ones to mold into stars

Yeah, love this idea and it could work if given the chance, now I know it isn't what Mongo had in mind but what if no one gave the XHF Network a chance then no one would be here.
Also, I understand what you're saying Steele about people from other feds joining but I think the way it is here is everyone runs to AWF because that's where all the big names are. So it doesn't help the little feds but with that being said I like the idea of allowing for a new boss each month, maybe having each fed head do it for a month or something
Let's get this place active it's an awesome idea lets keep it cool like a comic book fed where everything is gimmick or superhero-supervillain nothing has to make since it could be like Ma Dogs fed lol

Recruiting might be pretty easy in the future if our numbers keep growing like this.

You know what my first thought was when I read the OP and about the concept of this fed?
It might not be necessary.
For example, Swann already runs his own fed which at this point is already established enough to have absorbed GXW into it.
And also everyone else that is interested either runs a fed themselves or is in one, or can easily join one. That means that there isn’t a reason anyone here can’t simple allow their fed to use the voting system to determine winners, or push for the fed they use to adapt the voting system.
And I’m sure any fed head would consider such a system, or a limited version of it if people are allowed to vote in exchange for helping write, do graphics, moderate a bit, etc.
So while this is a cool idea, I’m not sure we need a new fed to get it done.

Okay, Mad Dog then you have to think of it this way then if this fed with a unique idea isn't needed then Mongo might as well stop anyone else from creating a fed here because they are not needed. We have let us see.
1) AWF - a regular wrestling company
2) FWA - a hardcore fed
3) TGK - a gimmick company
4) SSS - an all-female angled fed
5) the other two which should be plenty according to your opinion.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that we should ban new feds from being created. Actually it’s quite the opposite, we should probably always keep that aspect of the XHF Network alive. The problem with this fed in particular is that if anyone on here wanted to do it? There’s literally nothing stopping them. Like, right now, right this instant, it can be created. All someone has to do is make the application and Mongo will guarenteed, 100% create it. But it’s not necessary because You or Swann or anyone who currently owns a fed can just change your feds name to this, or keep calling your fed what it is called and apply this format and rule set to the one that currently exists. Does that make sense?

Yes, and No, I see where you're coming from but the thing is the current fed heads want to keep their fed, we brought this up as a way to relax and have a fun more relaxed fed that isn't so serious. Does that make sense? Everyone tries to do the characters according to a realistic aspect but with this fed people could create a character that is a wizard or a troll hell an Alien or a sea monster whatever they want it's a fun way of fedding

Maybe one of the new members will pick this up.

I would consider the AWF as a small company. Up until recently, we were in baseball parks and VFWs
