Would anybody play this...? (warning: long post)

I've had this idea floating about in my head for a while now. It's a game where you control your own brand and wrestlers and whatnot... it'd be kind of like TEW (Total Extreme Wrestling), but different.

It would be almost like an RPG, in that you build up stats for your wrestlers. It would also share some features of GM Mode / 24/7 Mode of Smackdown vs Raw where your wrestlers could sustain injuries. But then, it would also kind of be like a Create-a-Wrestler, where you could customize the look of your guys, their initial stats (you'd have X amount of points to start with), and other trivial details.

You would be able to let the game sim the matches for you, or you could choose your own winners... haven't quite figured out how that would affect the game overall, which choice would be "right" at which points. Like I said, it's just an idea.

What would TPWW think of such a game? It'd be like an RPG, CAW, GM Mode, and TEW, all wrapped into one game.

I don't know if I'd give the player the option of just being a wrestler and trying to get the heavyweight championship to win the game... or play as the booker and try to take your fledgling promotion off the ground and make it huge... or both? Though I think giving both options would be far too much work.

The only thing I really can't do is actually play out a match... not even Fire Pro Wrestling style animation... that's beyond my skills, because you have to script the moves, collision detection, etc. Maybe in the far future.

What would you guys think of such a game? Do you guys have any ideas for how the game would go?
