Who do you think should make a debut in my fed? How am I doing with this circuit?

Everything looks pretty good to me.  I obviously like the guys you're using, as Ring of Honor is always a wonderful source to yoink from.  I've just started to get into their early DVDs, and it's just excellent stuff.

A few suggestions:

You're obviously saving match highlights, but if you just copy and paste the main page of the HTML output it gives you you don't actually get the ability to access them.  It takes a few more minutes, but I'd suggest editing out the "click here" text and replacing it with the saved highlights (which you'd have to copy and paste manually from the highlight page on the other side of the link).

As for who you should bring in, that really depends.  If you want talented WWE guys who won't overwhelm your entire circuit with sheer star power, I highly suggest watching Velocity and/or HeAT one weekend and seeing who impresses you there.  The Hurricane, Stevie Richards, and Paul London all come to mind.  If you're more interested in Indie guys, there are quite a few good ones out there these days.  Hotstuff Hernandez might be a good idea if you need a big man who can work.  AMW makes a very solid tag team.  And C.W. Anderson impresses me a great deal.

Of course, something you might be overlooking is the value of the "m" key in booking your matches.  Hitting m will book a mystery opponent randomly selected from everyone who isn't on your roster, and sign them to a short (1-6 week) contract.  When it expires you can renew or give them the axe depending on how you like their work.  Rick's Old School Rules uses this method a lot, and it's been very effective thus far in building a unique roster.

Thank you very much Critic of the Dawn, I like the Idea of C.W. Anderson. That I think will work very, very well. I was thinking some one like Sapp, Dustin Runnles, or Steven Richards. I havent decided but I like the Idea of CW Anderson. I will definitly add that to my list of stars. Thank you again for the kind words.
