Funny that you should mention that... I was in a fed that utilized a pretty good system.
It's undercard title worked like this.
-A person would have to have wrestled three matches in the fed to challenge. Not won three matches, but wrestled three matches. -After winning the title they would defend it every week. -If the champion held onto the title after five weeks, they have to vacate it in exchange for a title shot at the Secondary singles title. -And repeat.
It worked out quite well and elevated some good guys.

Also, there are a lot of things you can do for PPVs. Heres one idea, if your TV champion gets a number of defenses in his reign, he gets a world title shot. It gives people a reason to perform and reach a goal, and gives a sense of urgency to actually want to defend your belt, like you should already be. The question with this, where would that line have to be drawn? 10 defenses? 20? 30? What would qualify the TV Champ for a title shot?

LOL Yeah I just read that. My next question would be, would the International Championship then have to be defended on a regular basis as well and dropped after five defenses?

The whole point of the TV Title, and the idea following it is to help people get better as a whole at writing and getting your character over. If you are defending your title every week, you have the pressure of performing and defending that title not only because you want to keep that championship, but he knows he will soon get the coveted world title shot if he can make it the whole way. If someone else beats the champion, that just means they now have a chance to prove themselves.
Make the International title what your Northwestern Idea was, and bring in the TV Title. I can tell you it will make everyone in RoR of different levels all be competitive. It keeps everyone involved in something good, even if they aren't just ready to compete with the main event caliber characters yet.

No, just the undercard title. It is the just AN option to move up the ladder to upper mid-card status. That wouldn't be the only way to the International title, but just an easy IN for that title. The international title, tag, and World would be held on as long as the title holder can possibly hold onto to it. The unercard title would be the only title that has five defenses then vacated. It is a great way to realistically elevate new guys but also guys who have been around for awhile as well. I would say that it wouldn't have to be defended at PPVs.

Ok, so if we go with the idea that the TV Championship can lead to an RoR Championship opportunity the question again becomes where to draw the line. Do we hand them an RoR Championship shot after 5 defenses or do we go with a larger number to make the shot mean something?
EDIT: Cole always beating me to the punch. LOL

Should hand them a NW title shot and let the World Championship title come more from tournaments/PPV matches/other conditions of being number-one contender and such, in my opinion.

Or what about a tier system? After 5 defenses they have the option of vacating and going after the International Championship if they wish, but after say 15 or 20 defenses they must cash in and get an RoR Championship opportunity.

definately have a large number of defenses with it. It will make the title mean a whole lot more and give it a prestige. And if the person has to defend it more often, going into the big PPV title match, they can tout the huge number of defenses and have a lot of momentum going into the match.
It also gives the person who was elevated through this title and the defenses a sense of accomplishment, and would make them ready to start competing with the top caliber talent in the fed.

It shouldn't be the World title they get a shot at IMO. It works better if it is the secondary title. There is more of a ladder there to move up. You hold the undercard title for five defenses, you move up to an international title shot, you win the international title shot.... you get that run to establish yourself as a main event caliber performer. By the time you lose the International title, you'll be established enough to be considered for World title.
The World title should be something a tad bit difficult to get to in my opinion. People should have to work for it. I'm not just saying that because I am the champion, but because it needs to be established as the top thing in the fed. If you can win the undercard, completely skip the International title, and get a world title shot... what is the point of having the international title? It just undersells the midcard title if it were to allow a World title shot.

5 defenses: Month and a week, with one PPV 10 defenses: Two months and two weeks, two PPVs
In other words, 15 or 20 defenses would be three to four months with several PPV matches. Way I see it, keep it at 5 for international or if they don't feel they're good enough to go after it yet they can just keep holding the title for no extra reward.

All this talk about TV Championships and defenses, and winning and whatnot. But everyone fails to realize that as it stands, we're looking at replacing the Vixen's Title with the Northwest Championship not the TV Belt.
*Points everyone above to polls*

And yo' couch. EDIT: On another note, Harvey, I kindof have a random idea. I'll send it to you in a PM once I write it out.

You can add the tier system if you want, but I think it should be more so focused on the world title opportunity.
Its too bad the leading poll idea sucks.
