I have noticed that more feds have a card every two weeks these days and not weekly to fight fatigue.

Still, Im not interested.

At all.

Still waiting on the leader's reply, but basically the Thursday night show is promos only, written by us, the wrestlers, and on Sundays the head honcho puts up the weekly matches.

Everybody's roleplaying an actual wrestler, albeit in different scenarios that may or may not have ever occurred. The next big event features Bobby Heenan managing the British Bulldogs against the tag team champions of Bret Hart and Nick Bockwinkel, for example, while the main event is a remix of Wrestlemania V with champion Hulk Hogan (now managed by Elizabeth) defending against an increasingly crazy Randy Savage. Ted DiBiase has aligned with Jerry Lawler (alongside Virgil and Jimmy Hart, respectively) to create Money & Majesty to fill the heel stable gap recently created when the super-heel squadron of Mr. Perfect, Vader (with Harley Race) and Jake Roberts (alongside Sensational Sherri) imploded.

The fact that it's based around real people was the allure for me, personally. Nobody's super weird about their characters since there's no self-insertion and some of them are downright eerie in how authentically their promos are written, thanks to having literal years of source data to watch for inspiration.

That reminds me of a fed I joined where I piloted the Necro Butcher to be a top contender for the world title. That was a funny time. Those feds are enjoyable, but do people get weird about allowing present-day folk in against the classic wrestlers? What if someone wanted to play the Young Bucks and superkick Lawler for a few hours?

Christ. I vaguely knew one of the guys from that, probably through a WebTV chatroom, and wound up with my actual name listed as one of their example wrestler names. Nice to think that I may have been rock bottoming people in strange corners of the internet for years. Plus, I know at least one goon was in GCW with me. Ran into him playing GTA Online awhile back.

Stuck around the hobby way too long, and wrote far too much doing it. By the time I got out, 2007 or so, I don't think anyone involved actually watched wrestling; I didn't, though I'd buy a game now and then; UFC dominated the conversation. Everyone was definitely slacking by then. Cards were never up on time, and we accepted the slipped schedule a little more each time it happened. poo poo, we may have gotten down to a show a month. I think the fed I was in for my last run survived for a few months after the owner abandoned it with the usual internet disappearing act. It was mostly a social forum by then, and I was long gone from the fedding before he went ghost.

Good times. I still remember crashing at a friend's place and drunkenly checking the website to find out that I hadn't won the world title. Weird to think back on nerdy poo poo like that, or exactly how long the bullshit I was writing became before I got out. Not that I was the only person in the world doing that particular garbage.

Anyways, that's my story, burn & salt the earth, thank you for listening

This was definitely the dynamic the one time I playtested WWWRPG, with different people at the table being fans, lapsed fans, casual fans, or not fans at all. It resulted in a main event where I was playing Okada (circa the start of his Rainmaker face turn) and challenging for the Intercontinental Title against a Yokozuna-like heel that was just named Shogun and who had an army of ninjas that tried to interfere in the match by killing me with poison blow darts

EDIT: To his credit, the GM did a decent job of reconciling the wild tonal differences by framing said main event as a changing of the guard from broad old-school foreign heel gimmicks to this modern cocky Japanese mega-face

The guy's gimmick for the table was that it was like space wrestling, in case he got a bunch of noobs who only knew wrestling from cultural osmosis. Of course instead he got me and a couple of pretty savvy friends plus some other people who knew what was up. We threw together characters and then did some promos and a big slobberknocker main event - it was more or less a glorified product demo, it was just one that worked!

Yeah I was in that one as BONE SLAMMER, the typical GBS Ron Paul supportin', baconator eatin', misogynistic goon who was not allowed out of his mothers basement. He had to don a mask so she would never find out. He had AAAAAHHHTHEBODYSLAM!!! as his finisher.

all i know is i never won a match b/c as a malfunctioning 1950s robot, all my moves inflicted massive damage to myself


also I think the 3rd 'season' or w/e involved 4 on 4 tag matches vs ghosts w/ AM1950sR functioning as the containment unit

So, did you write the newest Scooby Doo movie? Because wrestlers inexplicably racing monster trucks while Scooby-Doo tag teams with the Undertaker sounds exactly like what you're describing.
