All right, so I've been pondering stepping the fed up a notch for 2017, where kayfabe is concerned. I had two ideas:
1. We would keep the individual event format, but UKWF would leave its London roots and go touring across the United Kingdom. Shows would continue to be streamed and acquirable through iPPV as they have until now.
2. UKWF would settle down in a specific venue and celebrate a TV contract, allowing its events to be broadcast on TV, on something like Sky Sports 3. We would adopt a more TV-friendly format, with a dedicated show name and bigger events every now and then. Basically we would become the efed version of PROGRESS or something like TNA/NXT.
Which one would you guys prefer? Leave your vote in the poll above!

I recommend that our big shows, with the TV deal, should be Weekend-long shows like what we did for Challenge of Champions.

Here is my opinion, the first option provides UKWF the option to spread it reach, into place like Scotland, Ireland, Wales and maybe a few of the islands around England, and gauge the fan base.
with the second option, you're locked into the same venue, but also locked into the same crowd with the same reactions ( I.E The diva's will always be booed).
That's why i voted for touring promotion.

Touring. Bit more depth, different venues, the UK is a diverse place

I voted for touring because I would like to have shows be staged elsewhere in the country other than just London, e.g. South Wales. Also, can the promotion really call itself the UKWF if it just stays in one location?

Piggybacking off of Lowri's point: maybe the UKWF title should be renamed the United Kingdom Championship if we do begin touring. :3

In fact, I'm changing my mind here and going to go with Touring because, on second thought, I like what I see here. We can always just have a streaming network online.
EDIT: I still think we should have Quarterly Weekend Supershows or something like that, though.

I like the touring aspect. I also think adding a secondary championship can help establish the Midcarders and the main eventers

I'm thinking maybe a combination of the two, tour the UK and have a TV deal

A venue finds out they are on TV, price goes up unless the wrestling company owns the building or stays regional. Touring is a cost, yes, but with internet broadcasts and DVD distribution, it's cheaper than being TV and touring. WWA, the Knight family promotion, I believe has a TV deal and they stay close to Norwich

Go on, Dustin - touch it! Turn it up to 11! I am tempted to crank up to an even 20. Why shouldn't I touch the dial?
