Joe Zantek  How did using pre-gen characters go?

HEW Update

I haven’t posted a play through in awhile but we are currently 6 episodes in and I wanted to give a quick update on the characters:

Henry J Husman IV, creative, has been pleased with how his marketing venture is progressing having grown the audience in six short weeks.  He has two great traveling champions, The Prep and Double Barrel Daisy and a solid crew of good workers.  If only he can figure out how to keep the Outlaw in line…

Outlaw Jodie Wells (anti-hero) and Double Barrel Daisy (golden boy) joined at the same time as the audience increased.  HJH brought them in to feud with each other and that they did.  The Outlaw, stole victory from Daisy, Breaking Kayfabe to prevent Daisy from winning the Rodeo Ranch title in the inaugural Rodeo Romp.  HJH immediately stripped Outlaw of the title and went to great lengths to edit the footage to show Daisy winning the title.

Dr. Oppenheimer, the technician, is currently going through a bit of an identity crisis.  He was on a rampage working stiff and legit injuring anyone he was put in the ring with, including his own partner.  He is currently being accompanied to the ring by a group of ORDERlies.  He thinks they’re some lame entourage but really management put them  there to make sure he doesn’t gone too far over the edge.

Johnny Social, high flyer, has put on phenomonal in ring performances working with Donny Ray Boggs, but has struggled to connect with the fans on the mic.  When he couldn’t capitalize on being Over, HJH decided to move him down the card in favor of rising star, The Prep.

The Prep, athelete, abandoned his partner The Doctor as soon has he found out he was legit crazy.  He has since become the darling of management, really embracing HJH’s corporate vision and has been rewarded with his own Husman’s commercial and the American Classic championship.  

Larry Gin is the veteran.  He came back to the fed to complete his variety pack pursuit and win the eXtreme BBQ title.  HJH has been happy to use Larry in multiple facets of the program but his struggle with the bottle has led to him missing segments he’s been highlighted in.

Duke Donald of Boggs (gatekeeper), formerly Donny Ray Boggs (jobber) is the newest member of King’s Court, a heel faction led by Sir Justin Tyme.  Tyme is outraged he was left out of both the American Classic 4-way elimination title bout and the Rodeo Romp title bout and has vowed vengeance on the current champions.  Duke Donald has been tasked with softening up the champions before Tyme can finish them off.

My weekly game is adding 3 new players tonight.  I also have 3 returning players.  This will be the 5th episode having crowned our first player champion last week.  Tonight, with an equal number of new to returning players, does is it make sense to do a season reset?

I’m leaning yes, but was interested in what others thought.
