Hey so I figured it was time to try and start up a pro wrestling RP. The problem that these kinds of RPs encounter is that it's typically difficult for the story to build any momentum since wrestling revolves around weekly TV episodes leading to a PPV. That's a lot of shows that have to happen before a major storyline event.

My idea would basically be to center the RP around a Japanese wrestling promotion. Meaning that we would focus only on the major monthly events, because that's where the main action happens. It would allow every match to be significant, and would better enable long term storytelling.

Each player would also get to control two characters instead of one, so not every match would be between characters controlled by different players. Some would, some wouldn't. We would treat full-time tag teams as a single character, to pad out the roster more and allow for a larger tag team division. We'd also throw in a few lowcard guys to further increase the roster size, characters that everyone could freely use and wouldn't belong to one particular player. They'd be bodies to fill out multi-man matches or work as enhancement guys.

If you're interested and a serious wrestling fan, post here. We will need a solid level of interest to make creating the RP thread worthwhile.

Also, if you're a NJPW fan, hope you've been enjoying the G1 tournament. And if you're a WWE fan, hope you're excited for SummerSlam and NXT Brooklyn.

Yeah the original plan was to base it off of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, which means there would be no joshi division. At least for now.

Cool, what's your character idea?
