A few concerns:

Wrestlers with no trope pages

"Any wrestler with a trope page who wishes to enter can earn a place in the Federation"

List of wrestlers in Next Level who do not have trope pages, either for themselves or as part of a tag team:

• Jonathan Gresham
• Jordynne Grace
• Kairi Sane
• Riho
• Rush

All five of them can get singular pages due to becoming prominent in the bigger organizations. This is also why I didn't bring in Scorpio Sky despite him being just as big a part of SCU as Kazarian and Daniels, as well as why The Motor City Machine Guns, Rhea Ripley, Shayna Baszler, and Io Shirai have yet to be booked on here.

We can be a little more lose for staff and broadcast members, putting them on the page and linking to their associated character pages with the trust that they will get trope pages of their own in due time, but for the wrestlers they all need to have something.

Speaking of which, there are plenty of Revolution and Next Level tag teams that don't have pages, but are there because of their individual members who do. I could use the picture as link to their main company's tag team page, which they should be on, but again, if it's a team with no page whose members do have a page, they're most likely to just have the links with no trope list.

And yes, I will eventually fill in the pictures. I've got a few of them ready as we speak, but just haven't been able to do it yet.

Roster size

How big do we want to actually make each brand roster? I ask because at some point we're going to be filling bios. Once we do, it's likely the pages, even as constructed now, will get too big and have to be split.

History cutoff/Event story launching point

Here's a question we haven't broached yet. At what point do we book the first TWF major event story and start introducing our tweaks to the characters' ongoing history moving forward? I say it should start with last year's WrestleMania going from a two-night WWE Performance Center show and turning into a straight-up TWF three-night affair. We can add more matches that weren't on the page including cross-promotional and non-WWE matches, add both TWF and other Championships to some of these matches, and maybe even correct a couple of odd details here and there.

Of course, we have to hold tight to a couple of rules, such as no changing the outcome of preexisting matches and no titles changing hands other than the WWE belts that changed on the real show and appropriate TWF belts, but I still think we can put on some interesting tweaks and aditions. For example:

• Kenny Omega could challenge either Adam Cole for the NXT Championship to blow off their feud from the opening chapter of The Elite/Bullet Club Civil War arcs, or Bret Hart for that "God of Wrestling" moniker which was hinted at in his original bullet point bio.
• The druids that Anderson and Gallows brought out in The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles Boneyard Match could actually be Bullet Club, with Michelle McCool stepping in and revealing where her true loyalties lie.
• Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kota Ibushi were teaming as Golden Ace at the time as the IWGP Tag Team Champions. Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro had partnered up as part of The Artist Collective with Sami Zayn, would capture the SmackDown tag belts several months later. What if Shin and Cesaro fought Tana and Kota for their belts as the beginning of their own title hunt?

The second major event would be a summer show centered around the late August/early September happenings with the troped wrestlers from WWE (SummerSlam and especially Payback), NJPW (Summer Struggle in Jingu), and AEW (All Out), especially the three major world title matches from those shows. Perhaps we combine the venues into a single arena called Thunder Stadium, have those three real-life matches headline this show as a two-night special instead, and use crossover and past-era dream matches to fill out the rest of the card. For one, a Golden Ace-Artist Collective rematch (yes, still calling them that even after they leave Sami) with the SmackDown belts on the line this time seems like a pretty good call to me.
