NWA Mid South

If you are looking for how to run a weekly wrestling show it maybe that you need to take notes from NWA Mid South Wrestling.  They do it, week in and week out.  And yes, you can still have mega shows in a weekly format as Mid South proved the other week with their Empire Strikes Back show.  It had a 6 man tag that furthered a feud with Jason Peter Rose, the second biggest face in the company with a new comer heel.  Then they had The Golden Boy Greg Anthony (who ought to be the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion) beat Jason Kincaid, who is a top contender to the Junior Title, and has SouthEastern NWA Title, which was not on the line.  That match was good as you would expect between two top NWA stars.  Matt Rivera with JJ Dillion retained the Western States Title.  New Junior Heavyweight champ, Steve Anthony retained the World Junior title.  And then Tim Storm rebounded from losing the North American title with a victory to win the Mid South title over Jason Peter Rose (who was filling in for a strangely absent Gaylon).  Other than that glitch of Gaylon (the top face of the company) not showing up, it was a huge night of good wrestling thanks to the talent of the Empire. 
What is great about Mid South is that don't wear out the story lines.  Next week the headline is Jason Peter Rose concluding his feud that has gone on since he lost the Mid South title.  This will draw because Rose is a good face, and it allows the title and the big heels to sit out.  You have a Storm v. Gaylan feud ready to go.  You have Greg Anthony who can make anything look good.  They don't feature every feud every week, and it works. 

This maybe the best NWA promotion.  It has talent in the ring, on the mic, and the booking is solid.
