Friends and I got together and were talking about how boring wrestling WWE wasgetting and we got into a talk about not enough exciting storylines/plots. And the talk was interesting that I decided to bring it here and see what the views are of all the promoters here. what are your thoughts.

Your wordings on some things makes it hard to understand quite what you are asking. In your paragraph you talk about WWE and then in one of the options it says "if done right is very exciting to read" which I am assuming is talking about LOW. Anyways, if there are too many storylines all going on at one time then things tend to get to jumbled and hard to keep straight and too hard to feature each week. It is even harder to keep straight if you are reading someone else's fed than if you are watching WWE or running your own fed. Wrestling needs storys though or else no one would care. Some people would like to think that a wrestling show should only feature wrestling but I guarantee you they would not be entertained by 2+ hours of straight wrestling with no rhyme or reason behind each match. It is possible, however, to have storys played out more in the ring than outside of it. Some things happening outside of the ring is inevitable but it doesn't have to be to the extent that wrestling is today in both WWE and TNA. I think Ring of Honor is the best promotion in this aspect but unfortunately not every wrestler on their roster is good enough to pull off this type of story telling in the ring.

I know I can run my fed anyway I want, but what I have noticed on tv and in LOW is that there are storylines with every fed and great fueds. But what I am wondering is is there a thing as too much storyline plots that one could go over board. Granted I know you need plot to get matches off, and can't run them all everyweek.It would be very confusing, but what I am asking is if you had a storyline for every wrestler in your fed(Everyone even the prelim wrestlers) and you ran cards. Would it be too much, depending on how you did it would be exciting to read or it would be confusing to keep up with. I personally think that the WWE don't have enough storylines to keep fans that interested and relay on high jinks of DX. TNA does a good job and ROH does a good jpb of storylines but to me some of them have arleady been done before and are old. Ijust want o know if there is such a thing as too many storyline/plots to kill a fed?

I would say "NO !". But what annoys me is repeated storylines over and over again . The WWE do it alot in the past 10 years and some times (it only happen 6 months ago and theyre doing the angle again ! )

Ok. Let me take another stab at this. Theoretically, I would like to think that most wrestlers (not quite all) on the card could have storylines. Not all of them would be on the show every week.
In my fed I have quite a few teams to help take care of this problem. If one member of a team is involved in a feud it pretty much involves the entire team. You don't necessarily need teams but I feel that it helps. It is only natural that people would join together. Strength in numbers. I tend to think that this is missing in all the feds going right now. Booker T's group is a perfect example of this and imo it is working perfectly.
Anyway...I think that storylines are most definitely important. I think that there can be too many. I believe that most people in a fed should be in some sort of a storyline/feud but if all of them were it would get kinda stupid. Who would honestly feud with the feds jobber? Maybe he has a feud once in a great while but it wouldn't work all the time.
Another thing that helps, I think, is when the feuds kind of intertwine. For example DDP is currently trying to single handedly take down the Million Dollar Corporation. So Ted Dibiase has his corporation to help defend him but he wants to put as many people in between himself and DDP so he is going to hire Steve Corino's team to try to take out DDP and assuming that doesn't work (they are all mid to lower carders) he will try to get Steve Williams to help which would most certainly work but who knows if WIlliams will actually help out his former partner. By doing all this I involve alot of different parties as well as keep a feud going for quite a long time.
