My idea is to have a fed that begins in the year 1938. I have a complete calender online of every year so dates wouldn't be a problem. See the main story of the fed is vintage wrestlers such as Georg Hackenschmidt, Ed Lewis, Joe Stecher pretty much begin their own pro wrestling show in Georgia.
But what about the main wrestlers like HHH, Jericho? Well see they will debut sooner or later but not as Y2J or HHH. Maybe Lionheart Chris Jericho or Hunter Hearst. They will have no background and over the years shape up to become beasts.
My question is if this is a good idea? The reason why I picked 1938, (might bump it up to the 50s) is to not have some kind of boring 2010-2008 thing. Like every wrestler who isn't a vintage like the ones I listed above have no background. Their just wrestlers trying to make it big.
But the fun is making gimmicks for popular known wrestlers now. I could reign Zack Rider (not ryder) as a catch-as-catch-can wrestling champion who now looks to turn to professional wrestling.
More fun of this is pretty much inventing tag team divisions. You could put any kind of tag team together.
Who likes this idea?

sounds like a great idea. it should at least go up to the 50's 60's or possibly early 70's when wrestling was at its peak. i say go for it

the problem with this is, you'd have to write in such a dramatically different style than what pro wrestling is accepted as today that it'd take an expert writer to even attempt it. And honestly, as a fan of 50s/60s catch wrestling, I don't think the style would adapt itself well at all to fantasy booking. Matches were so slow and methodical then, with few bumps, that they honestly weren't that exciting.
While the idea is unique and fresh.. I don't think it could be pulled off entertainingly.

I'm not too sure about this, while it might be interesting, it might not be at the same time. I think you should do a federation from the 60's-late 70's with the stars of that era. which is an amazing time period, you have so many to choose from, like "Superstar" Billy Graham, Dusty Rhodes, Freddie Blassie, Iron Sheik, and many more!

I was brainstorming and it's still going to be like pro-wrestling today just with a different date. I dont like using 2010-2011. Remember when I used to write like pay-per-views? it's going to be like that just with a different date. Don't worry theirs not gonna be any catch wrestling its just like today..
Plus I'm not worrying about ages since im never going to refer to their age. Like zach ryder obviously wouldnt be wrestling in the 60s so basically its just a older date.

So it's going to be a current federation and everyone just pretends it's from the 60s.. and everything from the 60s is ignored...
I don't like it.

How is everything from the 60s going to be ignored? How am I going to write a 60s fed with most of the stars from the 60s are passed away? I don't see how much of a date makes a difference. If I put this fed in the 80s instead of 60s their would be no discussion about it. So whats the difference between 80s and 60s? (not trying to be a jerk just trying to write what I feel)

I don't understand what year it is in would make a difference. I would just take a combination of all the guys and make a fed.

But what's the purpose of having a time period when it'll have stuff from anytimes?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do here, like I said before either do a classic federation or current. You could do a Classic/Current as well, with a territory style and old school atmosphere with it. Like, if you were to create a modern NWA with a classic set up that featured Classic Vs Current, that could be interesting.
Also If I'm holding you back from using the AWA since I'm using it in the WWF, I'll give it up so you can use it?

Yes. Its still pro-wrestling like today, no-catch- wrestling. just pro wrestling. The reason why I don't like 2010-2011 is because it makes me feel like I'm behind..like I shouldhave started in 2006 or 2000.
I don't think anyone is understanding like I am.
It will be like 2010/2011 feds. just in an older date. whats the problem?

Whats the point? Then whats the point of a 1980s fed? Whats the point of asking people to make created characters to use in a fed instead of using ones that exist today?
I don't see the problem

Because generally speaking, a 1980s federation is written like a 1980s federation, not using a bunch of guys that are around today with matches structured how they are today.
You need to remember, a TON has changed since even the 80s. The Japan strong style era, ECW and hardcore and the hard hitting style, WCW introducing lucha libre, WWE and their highly signature move based offense.. Even back to the mid 70s.. none of these things existed. Further back, you're talking moves like German suplexes not existing.
Think of it this way. How many matches do you know of with DDTs? Prior to the late 70s when Jake Roberts invented the move.. it didn't exist.

Hmm...I'm thinking about dropping the 60s thing then.
But I might start in the 90s. Or should I just do 2010-2011?
