Help with circuit ideas

Hey guys,

I'm back to TNM after about a year, and I wanted to get some ideas for a circuit. Here's a few that I keep tossing around (all unbooked):

WWF 1985
This would start at Wrestemania 1. I would do one card per month, to keep it quick enough so I could catch up to present day, but stillhave angles. Wrestlers could only enter the fed if their real-life careers had started, but the catch was that it could be any persona. So, we could have "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in 1990.

I had this circuit started last year, but I lost interest because I wanted to use some guys from present day, and getting good matches was a challenge since my PPV's were headlined by Dusty Rhodes and Hulk Hogan. So that led me to:

Stampede Wrestling
This fed would take place in Calgary using Rick's Old School Ruleset to start. Heavily Canadian, Bret Hart would headline, with some other talent like Edge, Christian, Benoit and the like. Sort of a tribute to Stampede. But this fed would also blows the doors off as to who I could use... which would be pretty much everyone. So, if I wanted AJ Styles vs Dean Malenko, it could happen. I started this fed as well for a brief period, but it didn't last long since life got busy. Bruno Sammartino and Andre the Giant were the Tag Team Champions when I left it.

WWF Present Day
This circuit would use present day stars only. The backstory is that Vince McMahon retired and relinquised all power to Shane.

Shane makes a few big changes. He settles with the World Wildlife Fund, and the WWF returns. And he wants to get back to wrestling, so he appoints Paul Heyman as the commissioner. And finally, he kills the brand extension and vacants all titles.

Then, he sets up an 8-man tourney on Raw, and an 8-man tourney on Smackdown. The winners of each tourney would face their respective brands former World Champions at WrestleMania 23. The winners of those matches would meet in the main event to crown the Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion.

This one might be fun, and the most realistic of the 3. And, a TNA invasion wouldn't be out of the question. The downside is that to keep it realistic, using deceased/retired wrestlers wouldn't be likely, unless I decide to freshen things up a bit.

I know these ideas aren't really orginal, but just some thoughts I had. Where could I find some other ideas for a fed?

Check out this thread:

It's called What If, and it has a number of interesting and challenging ideas for circuits.

Thanks Eric, cool thread. I posted a scenario there myself.
