in the future i want to book my own promotion. i know wrestling will never return to kayfabe days,so im not sure how fans will react to a kayfabe inspired independent. and i realize without some kind of tv,it will be hard to do detailed angles and follow them through,but well have something figured out by this time. really,i want to re-hash a lil old stuff ,but not copy,just get inspired by,and change situations,things like that. I come up with a lot of ideas but well their just ideas so I would like people's views as wrestling fans.
-Six Man title(or at least an Annual 6 man championship tourney)
-involve male managers as they were in the kayfabe era.to serve as a 'mouthpiece',etc.
- bring back the masked character like lucha libre try to get tradition and honour represented with them and the hair.
-for a masked tag team gimmick, bring back the switch the man, and loaded mask gimmick
-Mega Heel stable like 4 Hoursemen but not a 4 Horsemen rip off cough, cough Evolution, Extreme Horsemen.

Ok sorry to do this to you, but here we go:

First of ROH is sort of a Kayfabe promotion right now already
A 6 man belt was done 10 years ago in wcw
the switch man is being done by the bashams right now

And your other ideas are rip offs of stuff that's already been done.

Look, right now isn't a good time to start a serious fed, there's too many small indy feds around. If you want to compete you are gonna need some funds and not just a few hundred Dollars i mean a few thousand, and that's before you even put on your first show. Do you know how much a ring is gonna cost you? Plus insurance per show, advertising, security and there's more

My advice would be try to get involved in wrestling before you be a promoter. If you dont want to be a wrestler just try to be a ref or do some ring announcing, just to make some contacts, your gonna find it very hard to get anything done without knowing anyone, it's better you learn the business inside and out before trying to run the business. That goes for any business, not just wrestling. I wouldn't walk into a bank and say i was gonna be the manager without learning the trade.

Sorry to be so harsh and bring you down, i just want to let you know what you should think about first
