I always planned on retiring Mike Daniels when he hit 35-40 fights but I like the whole aging thing. It gives me a legit reason to retire guys, other then "he lost 5 in a row, fuck him".

I say retire them when or if you want otherwise let them fight.
Somers has been here since 29, which he was 32 so if you do the timeline thing he's in his forties, but no wait he's still wrestling and only 32 lol
it just messes with things that some of us are trying to do that's all.

Nah he wouldn't be retiring yet, he'd be a few years off still.

Honestly, I like it. They retire, enter the Hall of Fame, maybe become commentators, refs, management, open new gyms... Whatever. But, then you have the freedom to make a whole new fighter and try and give them a long and lustrious career. we could even lower it to 40 but I think 45 is more "realistic". And, Terry, a guy could retire here and still wrestle in your league. Hogan, Nash, Hall... they still wrestle, lol.

Another way to determine a timeline would just to say that every IMMAF card to the next is 3 months, period. So 78 would be 234 months or 19 yrs and 6 months.
OR, it could be every 2 months. So 78 would be 156 months or 13 years.
A fighter just can't go on and on and on and on and on. There should come a time when you gotta say Enough. Otherwise Mitch could be the 50-time WW Champ, the 40-time MW Champ, the 30 time LHW Champ....yada, yada, yada. Same for Somers. I think it is better to say Somers was a 3 time LHW champ from Period A to Period B, or the 5 time champ in his career. Maybe next time you make a guy younger and surpass Somers' accomplishments with that guy. It's just more realistic if a guy ages.

I believe most members can manage their own timelines.
Like Fallin did retire Foswell, now he's back. I know Fallin won't go too far with the age thing.
I think Mitch even talked about this possibly being Armour's last reign before he retires.
Random just retired John Black, etc.

Black's retirement was due to complications from his ankle surgery.

This league isn't supposed to be realistic. otherwise how can you explain Fallin? ;D
If YOU want to retire a guy and create new ones more power to you. Don't make it so others HAVE to as well.
hell if we were being realistic guys would only fight 3 or 4 times a year.

we should have aging, when armour started at IMMAF 7 i believe he was 22, at this timeline, how old would he be realistically and be serious dont say 45 or 50 im think between 30 and 35.....tystick or someone serious and not trying to rib me (joke at my expense,lol) please do the math/guesstimate to see how old armour would be right now to see how old he is to see if retirement is near IF he loses the MW title which i hope he holds onto forever! Obviously.
