I was sitting around trying to come up with an idea for TNM when I got this idea. I'll be running 3 seperate feds. One will be a heavyweight fed, another, a tag team fed, and the third, a cruiserweight fed.

Each fed will consist of 16 wrestlers. The first card in each fed will be a 16 man tournament to crown the first champion. Each card after that will break down as follows.

The Champion v. The #1 Contender (#2 in ratings, usually the winner of the previous tournament, but not always)

Ranking #3 through #10 will then wrestle in a tournament on the card, battling for #1 contendership.

The other 6 wrestlers will wrestle one match a piece to try and get themselves a shot in the tournament at the next card.

#11 vs. #12, #13 vs. #14, and #15 vs. #16

Once a wrestler hits a combined 10 wins and losses, he will be eligible for removal. If his winning percentage hits .200 or below, he will be fired and replaced on the next card.

Anyone have any thoughts on this idea or suggestions to make it a little better?

I think this is a great idea.  I thought about doing something similar, but it would be ten guys, and it would be a round robin tournament.

How about starting a relegation league along side this one, where you send the guys from your main league that you fire to, and then you can call up the champions from there.

Just a thought.
