Rick, Your "old school" rule set that I have only goes up to Year 2 Month 2, did you ever add anything new on to that?

I believe it actually goes to like show #60 in total.  Good luck getting there though.

How exactly does one "finish" a rule set?

When Vince McMahon buys it out and puts it on the shelf.

Card #61 - everybody no shows, so fire them all, strip any champions of their titles, hire a new roster and start again from card #1, repeat ad nauseum. Finished.

That's CapitAl with an "a", the one with the "o" is like Washington D.C., since we are being particular! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Have you actually made it to the final week of the posted rules with a circuit?  Very few that have started a circuit with the rules have made it to week 60.  And several of those that have, by that point, have used it to launch their own ideas into their circuit.  The rules sets I have created are merely guiding points to helping others become more creative with their own works.

I'm not sure on this one either.  But I can say that I've never seen people ask over a year after the last rules posting to revive them with new rules.  Thanks for the support on the rules.  As for "finishing" them, there is no such thing, as these are just a starting point for someone wanting to do a circuit.

For my latest circuit, NWA World Championship Wrestling, I used your old school ruleset for the first eight weeks and then went without it. It's a good ruleset to launch your circuit through those first few weeks that might be the toughest of a circuit's existence, besides when you have writer's block.

It's very useful and I highly recommend someone struggling with coming up with a circuit to keep interest in to use his ruleset.

thanks, HRS.  Hope things worked out well those first 8 shows.

There's a lot of good stuff you're gonna miss now... like the Rumble match in like week 49 I think it is.  ;)  But knowing you, you'll find a way to incorporate it somewhere else.

Well, the first 8 cards were from the first time I tried running the circuit. So for this circuit, I just re-simulated those results and went from there. I've watched alot of the Jim Crockett Promotions (85-88) footage lately so I'm really into the wrestlers. Plus, it reminds me of being a kid again. I turned 27 recently.
