Welcome everyone to...New Tokyo Empire Wrestling!!!
So basically I had roleplay in mind that revolves around Japanese professional wrestling in a semi-realistic anime style format about a group of post-high school men and women trying to establish themselves in the Japn pro-wrestling scene(think Hajime no Ippo, Kuroko no Basket, etc). Set in Japan and all that but also incorporating some western(WWE/TNA/ROH) influences, cross promotions co-operation opportunities and such. Before that however, our characters have to make a name for ourselves in the indies and develop their skills in rigorous camps.
Anyone who's ever watched japanese wrestling promotion knows that Wrestling in Japan is treated as very much a serious legitimate sport, on par with the likes of professional kickboxing and other full contact sports. New Japan is perhaps the most coveted scene in the wrestling world today and for good reason. The wrestlers of New Japan are like rockstars standing atop the wrestling world. Tanahashi, Okada, Nakamura, Devitt, Omega, Honma all the greats. If you want to be the best you gotta go to Japan.
So anyone interested in lacing up their boots and stepping into the ol' squared circle?
