So this is the part where I try to get another pro wrestling RP off the ground. It will be a traditional RP where each player takes on the role of a wrestler and roleplays their life both in front of the camera and behind the curtain. Professional wrestling is a cutthroat business so players will naturally form alliances, backstab one another, and attempt to politic their way towards the coveted top spot in the company. I will roleplay as the promoter (hopefully an interesting character in his own right), responsbile for deciding who will win and lose, who will receive pushes and who will not. Remember though, it's not just about "being the best," it's about having a well-developed character. Even if you're playing one of the lower tier wrestlers, you can still have a compelling character and a compelling story to tell behind the scenes.

If you're a wrestling fan, let me know if you're interested.

Who is champ?

Who is champ?

JOHN CENA.

In all seriousness, we're going to worry about getting some players together before we decide a champion. It'll probably end up being an NPC with the belt at first.

How crazy are we talking for this rp?
Cause I'm very interested. Sadly wrestling rps have a low chance of survival. I'm still interested.

I'm not sure what you mean by crazy, but the RP will aim to be highly realistic.
It will take place in 1996, a period of upheaval, change, and opportunity in the wrestling business. The player characters will have the chance to take advantage of this upheaval and step up to become the leading stars of a new era in wrestling.

So grounded in realty. Thank God. I am still in. I was scared that it would be " MUMMY WRESTLING THE DEVIL ON THE SUN!"

That sounds oddly familiar.

Anyways, um, maybe I guess? If I can figure something out and come up with a decent gimmick maybe. We'll see.

@Rin
Oh it should be familiar to you Rin. Once upon a time you and I were in a roleplayer where that happened. Some guy wrestling the devil on the sun. GSWF was its name.

I'll try anything once. Sounds fun! I'd definitely be interested.

Think of this as like an HBO drama about the wrestling business, with all the highs and the lows of life on the road and life backstage.

So in front of the camera we're all "I'm gonna smash Timbo Jenkins on Saturday, take his Junior Heavyweight Championship and break his face with it!" but behind the scenes we're all struggling with backstage politics and alcoholism?

That is probably the best possible way to describe this RP.

Maybe

Sounds like a good time. I've done a few e-federation characters before, and I'd love to get back into it.

I am more than interested in this.

Glad to see the interest, I'll try to get the official RP thread up tonight so people can start working on character sheets.
