I dont use the Jakks titles with my mattel figure so I use the Toybiz NWA World and Tag titles since they're made similar to the Mattel belts.

That's interesting. I only use the Winged Eagle Jakks for Mr. Perfect since it is the only Winged Eagle I have.

My brother and I have a massive figure fed universe. The current champions (and thus the people who the belts stay on) are as follows:
WWE World Title: Steve Austin WWE IC Title: Santino Marella WWE European Title: Davey Boy Smith WWE Tag Team Titles: Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid WWE Womens Title: Michelle McCool WWE Lightheavyweight Title: Brad Armstrong
WCW World Title: CM Punk WCW United States Title: Harley Race WCW Television Title: Chris Benoit WCW World Tag Team Titles: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage WCW Crusierweight Title: Rey Mysterio WCW Womens Title: Trish Stratus
TNA World Title: Jesse Gordy (been building him for a year, beat Raven) TNA X Title: Teddy Hart TNA World Tag Team Titles: James Storm and Robert Roode TNA Television: Zack Driver (Ryder) TNA Knockouts: Macaela Mercedes (Jillian Hall)
ECW World: Tyson Kidd ECW Television: Afa the Wild Samoan ECW World Tag Team: Hernandez and Homicide
NWA World: Travis Tomko NWA North American: Curt Hawkins NWA World Tag Team: Gerald and Jack Brisco
AWA World: Yokozuna AWA World Tag Team: Jim Brunzell and B. Brian Blair
We have belts accordingly for all those championships, probably about half customs and half actual belts. For the most part, if a version of the title exists, we own it.. if not, we have a customized belt, or a belt that works well enough (i.e. the WWE US Title is a fine substitute for the WCW US Title).

I run a fed by myself just for fun and I'm 22. So like other people, my champions change often.

It's good to see that some guys who never held the belts are champs in your fed. Which Santino are we talking about? What does Austin's belt look like and I guess two different Bulldogs for the belts?
Interesting Punk is WCW Champ. I wonder how Trish would've done in WCW.
Ryder as TNA TV Champ- at least he gets a push.
Tyson Kid as ECW champ and LAX as ECW tag champs- I like.
It's good to see you guys run a fed so well.

You haven't found a good fit for the IC belt yet eh? A custom Mattel Lita? That should be something. I need to get my hands on both L4 and L6. I have not one Warrior figure. Skip Sheffield would make an interesting U.S. Champ. Well before Zeke the champ was Barrett who is another guy I don't care for. I suppose I could put it on Kofi now that he is no longer the US champ. Yeah I made a custom Lita as she's my favorite women's wrestler of all time. I'm hoping Mattel will make one some day but this works for now. She's missing her tattoo and the logo on her shirt but I don't really mind to much.

That's not too bad of a custom. I like!

Thanks. The flash from the camera makes her head look a little bit dark but in person it matches perfectly.

Ryder as TNA TV Champ- at least he gets a push. Tyson Kid as ECW champ and LAX as ECW tag champs- I like. It's good to see you guys run a fed so well. Santino is about the same character in my brother's WWE as he is in the actual WWE. I had him in WCW, under a stable lead by Nick Dinsmore that had WWE guys rejecting the gimmicky characters they had, calling themselves "Wrestling Unleashed". It got Dinsmore over as a credible US Title guy.. but "Anthony Marella" never rose above a Crusierweight title reign. I released him when trying to clear some of my budget with WCW (salary cap, my bro and I bid on workers).. bro picked him up, and has done well with him. EDIT: The actual Santino figure that keeps the belt is a Jakks RA. My brother has a Mattel Elite (one of the 20 or so Matty figures he owns) that he sometimes uses in place of the Jakks fig, but I try to keep the stuff that I own (500+ different RA/RI, DA/DI, Toybiz, Mattel, Playmates, and other figs, and all the titles) seperate. The WWE World Title we use is the Spinner belt (mostly because we use the Winged Eagle for the ECW TV Title.. one of the few belts that they make and we need that I DON'T have a version for.), the Jakks version for now, and POSSIBLY the Mattel version if I get that one and like it. CM Punk is WCW Champ.. the head guy in a stable lead by Eric Bischoff and featuring The Giant, Hogan, Nick Dinsmore, Johnny Jeter, Trish Stratus, Mick Foley, and a few others. (I know it sounds stacked, but the WCW roster in general is very main-eventer heavy, even though they don't all get used as main eventers) Dude.. you have no idea how hard it is for us to get Ryder over. We want to.. but every idea we come up with just doesn't seem to work. You can get a good feel for whether or not an idea would be "getting over" when you do a figure fed the way we do. TNA TV champ is starting to stick a bit. Tyson Kidd as ECW Champ is something of a neccessity for my bro. Much like the real ECW, WWE and WCW routinely ransack that roster, and ECW doesn't have much of a budget. My brother has stopped trying to fight it.. and just builds new stars (only to have them stolen as well, by WWE, WCW, and even TNA to an extent). Again.. Kidd as champ seems to work.. but my brother actually got Charlie Haas over as a credible ECW champ. As SOON as one of us hired him outside of ECW, though.. it was right back to the absolute bottom of the card. Go figure!

I would LOVE to see a Wrestling Unleashed storyline on my TV.
Have you tried Ryder attacking Cena?

The only title I have right now by Mattel, is the WWE title, which I display with The Miz.

I would LOVE to see a Wrestling Unleashed storyline on my TV. Have you tried Ryder attacking Cena? The Wrestling Unleashed thing worked well.. Nick Dinsmore as leader, Drew Hankinson (Festus/Luke Gallows) as his right hand man.. Anthony Carelli (Santino), Johnny Jeter (Johnny from Spirit Squad), Candice Michelle, and Sean Morley (Val Venis) as the other guys in it. The problem with it was that none of those guys were really over on their own. For instance... you feud them with the Horsemen. Would you really want to headline War Games with Flair/Arn/Malenko/Benoit against Eugene/Luke Gallows/Val Venis/Santino Marella? So it was trying to get them over outside of those personas that was difficult. It worked well for Dinsmore.. not bad for Hankinson (although he was probably slightly more over in real life as CM Punk's right hand man than he was in my figure feds as Dinsmore's).. but the other guys, no way. For what it's worth.. my pet projects always seem to be Val Venis/Sean Morley, and Muhammad Hassan, neither of whom I can get over to save my life... And Ryder attacking Cena out of the blue wouldn't make much sense.. kinda like how it wouldn't make much sense right now. Things have to have a logical progression, or they tend to fail (see: Jack Swagger's title reign in real life)....

I would LOVE to see a Wrestling Unleashed storyline on my TV. Have you tried Ryder attacking Cena? And oh yeah.. while I'm not the biggest Nick Dinsmore fan or anything.. WWE SERIOUSLY missed the boat on that. If you'd had him team with, say, HBK or something against Triple H and someone equally evil.... then had Eugene just turn on HBK, lay him out, and cut a promo about how he was faking being "special".. you've got an instant super-heel. Go from smiling and waving... then the next show, dressed up in a three piece suit with sunglasses on and short hair.. proclaiming how he used the "disability" to get his foot in the door, fabricated a relation to Eric Bischoff, and fooled all the fans. I can't see how the WWE missed that opportunity...

How does that work? How DO you get your wrestlers in your fed "over"? That seems confusing.

We can judge from each other's reaction.. and even from our own reaction to the execution of a planned storyline. Much like running an actual wrestling company, I'd imagine.. we've had some storylines take off from one off things and almost write themselves.. and we've had some elaborate planned out storylines that went absolutely nowhere. I tried to get Warlord over in TNA as a Surfer Sting wannabe named "Spark".... not so much...

So it's not just TNA's actual writers that copy other stuff At first I read that as Warrior.
