Wrestlers from 2 different circuits on one card

I'd like to be able to book wrestlers from 2 circuits  to be on one card and the ratings will show this.

Can you make it so we can have title matches and other ones with wrestlers from 2 circuits.

And a mystery wrestler who has a title will wrestle for that title. AKA    like in the old days when the world champ would travel around wrestling guys from local org's.

Back to the other can you make it some there is a button to allow us to use wreslers from another circuit. I want to have cards using wreslers from 2 different circuits and have the rating updated.

You can create the same title in different  circuits and "hand over" the title to the champion. This won't effect the ratings except for any actual

Sorry, I didn't finish the last post due to interference from the cat.
I was trying to say it wouldn't effect the ratings unless you hired the traveling champion before booking the card.

So that's where Ernest Miller went ;D

This opens a major can of worms.

Circuits are independent of one another - completely.

If a title is to be recognized in a circuit, it would have to be imported into the circuit first. And even then, there would be no feedback to the "other" circuit where the champion and the belt originally came from.

This - so far - is feasible with some restructuring.

Where it gets hairy (and I mean George-Steele-hairy or A-Train-hairy as opposed to Booker-T-hairy) is when you want these matches to change the ratings in a different circuit. This - while possible in theory - requires greater structural changes and breaks the concept of independence between circuits for good, meaning that an error that happens in one circuit may bring down another circuit with it (which is something I've always avoided in the past).

Also, it would break the Weight Class Wizard and Circuit History plugins insofar as parity would be eliminated. Now, for every win wrestler A has against wrestler B, there is a loss for wrestler B against wrestler A. Some results would hence just be left "hanging". The plugins would still work, however they couldn't validate their own results anymore.
