Idk if someone ever asked for this before but I think you should add the feature of creating a custom roster and share on this website. No matter the year, era or company. It would be a cool thing for the fans.

  @Ryan Landrau Might be difficult to add every single one, especially as the program will be expansive across the entire USA and presumably abroad too with tens of hundreds of talents. I think wrestlers will be added once they graduate to the NXT system, we still have other profiles to begin, such as with the NWA Hall of Fame or some remaining minor WCW/ECW talent. It might be a good idea to feature a list somewhere on here

ok so I clicked face/heel split and the NXT women's division is a little weird (i.e. Stephanie Vaquer is the only one on Upper Card, Michin and Natalya are still on NXT midcard, and they have been inactive.)
