The camera is fixed on an attractive young woman with blonde hair. She glances sideways, clearly uncomfortable, her expression showing a combination of confusion and disgust. As the producer behind the camera begins to count down, she readies herself, attempting to wipe the bizarre look off her face. She raises a microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time...Sexton Love."

The camera pulls back, revealing a man standing to her right. He is dressed in leopard skin pants with a matching vest, a shark tooth necklace around his neck. His hair is horribly bleached, with the roots beginning to show, and styled in a manner that would make Dog the Bounty Hunter jealous. The hair on his chest is equally repulsive, a tangled mess dripping with sweat. His eyes remain fixated on the woman as he chews a toothpick and slowly strokes his chest with a fine-toothed comb. This is Sexton Love.

"...Mr. Love, you are one of the eight competitors in--"

"Shhhhhhhhh..."

He presses a finger to her lips and proceeds to remove the microphone from her hands.

"Let's be honest Becky...you're not hear to ask me about the World Title Torunament."

"It's Rebecca. And yes it's my job as an interviewer to--"

"Shhhhhhhhh..."

Rebecca looks at the camera, clearly at a loss for words.

"You're hear because I am the SEXCELLENCE OF SEXECUTION, and there is undeniably, undoubtedly, unequivocally, UNQUESTIONABLY a sssssssssexual connection between us."

"Actually I'm hear to get your thoughts on the Masked Magician, your first round--"

"The Masked Magician?"

"Yes. Are you aware of his recent remarks? And how do you respond to--"

"Oh I'm aware of his recent remarks Becky. Make no mistake about it, I've seen EVERY interview that you have ever conducted."

Sexton turns and looks directly into the camera.

"The Masked Magician says that he and I are alike. That he and I are are both pursuing our dreams. His dream to become the World Heavyweight Champion, and my dream to become a sex symbol. But Becky the fact of the matter is that I am ALREADY a sex symbol. I am the Sexiest There Is, Sexiest There Was, and Sexiest There Ever Will Be! You know it, I know it, and fans all around the world KNOW IT! The Masked Magician says that he works harder than me. That he trains harder than me. That he deserves to be called the World Heavyweight Champion. But that could not be farther from the truth because I have worked hard my entire life to get to where I am today. The man that holds the GPW World Heavyweight Title is the face of this organization, and a man that hides behind a mask cannot be the face of anything."

He looks at Rebecca once again, and resumes combing his chest.

"What do you make of the other competitors that you might go up against? This tournament truly has a global feel. The Masked Magician is of course representing his home country of Australia. But then you have the likes of Kintaro, Mitchell Wolf and "The Flying Scotsman" Sammy MacDougal, among others. What are your thoughts on the field overall?"

"Becky, I've been all around the world. I've been to Japan and Iran...Kazakhstan and Pakistan...Albania, Lithuania and Transylvania! You're absolutely right, this tournament does have a global feel. But so does Sexton Love. I am an international superstar. I have fought men and loved women on every continent in the world, including Antarctica. Was it cold? You're damn right it was cold! But I persevered because that's the kind of man I am!"

He stops for a moment, calming himself down before continuing...

"I'm a man on a mission Becky. My mission is to become the GPW World Heavyweight Champion and bring sexy back to Global Pro Wrestling. This company wants me to be Champion...this company NEEDS me to be Champion. They need me because SEX SELLS, it's a fact of life, and NOBODY does it better than SEXTON LOVE!
So, do we have to wait in order to post? I mean, since this is a live show, would I have to wait until just before the third match before posting.


It's not a live show. THe promos take place before the event and are used to hype the matches and build stories, then once all of the promos have been written I will post the results of the event in the form of a wrestling television broadcast.

Question! Can we create nameless jobber matches? Something for heels to mess with/interrupt/destroy without hurting or altering the main story thread?


You can reference matches from house shows, but every televised match that happens in GPW will be booked on a show that I post the lineup for. We are starting off with a big PPV event with this tournament, but after that there will be a weekly show similar to Monday Night RAW.
Question, but how are the matches going to be decided?


The matches are decided by three main criteria:
1. The quality of your promos.
2. The direction the story needs to head.
3. The players. If they have an idea for a finish they both agree on.

At the end of the day, it's up to me as the booker to make the call on who goes over. But it's also my job to keep every wrestler looking as strong as possible. Stone Cold Steve Austin lost to Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13 and his career benefited from it greatly. It's wrestling, so naturally somebody has to win and somebody has to lose (usually), but try not to get too caught up on wins and losses. It's about telling a story, everyone will take a loss at some point.
Oh lord, poor Kintaro's being fed to Bork.

Minor question regarding the promos, but should we assume they occur in the weeks preceding the tournament show? And, more importantly, is there any restriction as to what kind of promo we use? IE: Vignette, press conference, etc? I ask purely because I've got a few ideas in mind.


Your promos would be aired in the weeks building up to the event, on GPW.com and such. And there are no restrictions on what kinds of promos to use, be as creative as possible! I think it would be cool to see Kintaro's promo incorporate footage of some of his matches from Japan.

Btw @Jordan you can post Mark Clifton in the Char section.
Alright guys the wait is over, it's time for history to be made. This is the match lineup for our first show, which will feature a tournament for the GPW World Heavyweight Championship. It will be an eight-man single elimination tournament, and you will have up to five days to complete you promos for this event. If you would like your wrestler to employ a particular strategy in their match or you have a storyline suggestion, feel free to PM me within that time frame. Since this is our first look at your character, make this an introductory RP that helps us really get to know you. Don't just talk about beating your first round opponent, talk about going the distance and winning the tournament. Show us why your wrestler deserves to be called the World Heavyweight Champion when it's all said and done.

I will be posting a "pre-show" in the IC section at some point in the next few days that will introduce our GPW commentary team. They will be breaking down the tournament, providing insight to the matches and offering their predictions.
GM,

Do you have any authority (lol) figures in charge of GPW? Cause you have like the "indy"-est roster. No offence. But it seems like that's what you are going for. And it's not like you get the big WWE style promos at local wrestling shows because the "plot" is just matches with a winner so beyond "I will beat this guy in the ring because I am great/he sucks/he interfered in..." there isn't that much I can see to write about, compared to like an anti-authority storyline, or a "guy in charge picked me to..." and so on.


Unless you mean it's an indy roster because the roster is small, than I have no idea what you're talking about. Like at all. We have a roster of guys with various sizes and styles, not a bunch of spot monkeys like most indy shows. Also, there will not be an authority figure because that angle has been done to death. It was cool in 1998, it's shit in 2015. No offence, but it seems like you have a pretty limited perspective on wrestling angles. There are lots of stories that can be told outside of rehashing Austin vs. McMahon.

Jordan's almost done his guy (he PMed me about it) so look for the inaugural GPW match card top be posted shortly. I'll probably be creating our tag-team champions tomorrow, and at least to start we won;t have a midcard title. We'll focus on the World Title and Tag Titles for now and it's my ultimately goal to insure that everyone on the roster is involved in some sort of angle or rivalry so they can further develop their character. Also, if anyone is interested in joining even after we start running shows please do not hesitate, we will always be looking for new talent to keep the shows fresh.
I love heist movies so if you guys need another player I'd be interested, curious to see where this goes. It's really the perfect idea for a small group RP.
Honestly I'd probably be more into it if we were able to play as people other than Jedi as well. But either way I'll be keeping my eye on this.
We need more people so we can get a Bullet Club. Just sayin'.

I'm working on the tag-team guy, but I don't have a name or a picture...


If you want some feedback/suggestions, feel free to PM me what you have.

Once your wrestler is complete and once Kintaro's CS is done, we will have enough wrestlers to begin our first show. I pretty much have the tournament match-ups set.

@mattmanganon @Ciphra @Sloth Could you please post your wrestlers in the Char section so we have things a bit more organized. It's nice to see the entire roster in one place.
@ZeusTheMoose
