I have always worried I don't concentrate on feuds enough and that I really don't book feud matches. Guess I was wrong.
I'm in 2119, mid October. Bloodline is banished due to a Federation Exile Match. Kill Prey, Havoc, U.S. Male, American Guy, Slave Beast, and Lorelei are out hurt. The Bomb, Anivar, and Thrash are out on suspencion.
THAT'S 10 PEOPLE OFF MY CURRENT ACTIVE ROSTER!!!
The women's division in particular, hasn't been full for a whole month this year. She Devil and Shann Ra have been putting each other out like mad.
If I loose any more I'm going to have a hard time filling my weekly show.

Do you have injured wrestlers out of action automatically, or do you use the injury chart? That would put you at only 4 guys off your roster.

Yeah, I ussually put injured guys out entirely as the heal up or rehab, rather than have them fight injured. I have had a few matches with injured wrestlers if the storyline dictates it. But I prefer to think if I am rolling on the feud table than the wrestler is being put out for a bit. The injury table, to me, makes it seem like they were just worn down.

I know back in my 2087 days i had over half the roster out with injuries and that was before there was an injury chart. I remember writing a letter to Tom telling him that he had to expand the roster to take account of injuries! The first card that i had the whole roster back i decided to make a SuperCard named "The Return".
Sounds a lot like what you are going through...

That's actually a cool idea.
I was planning a November PPV based on Survivor Series where everyone would have thier last crack at thier feud enemy, but at this rate there won't be enough wrestlers to make it worth wild.

Other than not signing feud matches, if you have a lot being hurt or suspended you could ignore the injury result and use it later on after a different match. Instead of adding to the dead pile. Or don't suspend the perpetrators.

Having that many guys (and girls!) injured at once is tough. The upside of it though is that it can force you to push people you normally wouldn't push higher up the card. I recently found my fed missing my 3 top babyfaces (Bloodline and Disaster to injury, Endgame to suspension). It forced me to push Swarm into a feud with Encubus, and it produced some really interesting stories and a couple of really good matches too.
My rule about injuries is this: Most times a guy will work through a minor injury. Moderate or severe injuries he wont. The exception is when a champion is injured and would have to give up his title due to not defending within 30 days. I'll usually let the champion wrestle injured just for the title match.

I have a few years where guys dropped like flys and you can tell by there record being something like 2-2 while other guys would be like 11-9. It always seems to work itself out...

I had this problem in 2087. After a while i just ignored the injuries all together or reduced the amount of time to one or two cards

Actually, I usually strip Champions of Titles for non-defense if they get injured. My way of shaking up the status quoe I guess. I know recently Thrash had a tune up match for her PPV Title defence. She ended up getting suspended for 6 weeks and since the defense was mandatory she was stripped of the title and I just crowned a new Champion at the PPV. |

Yeah, it depends for me. If it's a long term injury or a storyline based injury I'd probably strip them. Outside of that I usually let them fight.

what works for me is that faces dont hurt faces.

Totally. In fact if a face starts something with a heel I write it very carefully.

Injuries though can be a great tool to build heat in a feud..."LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!" *chairshot* instant heat.  |
