I remember e-fedding in the late 90s. Most of the people doing it were teenagers, with basically Steve Austin and Undertaker clones. I remember my wrestlers: Jackson Bludd: He was a heel, didn't care about titles, only cared about hurting people. Wore a jet black mask, heavily muscled body covered with scars. Did promos similar to Bray Wyatt, in a dark room with a single lightbub hanging from a wire. Once he got the title, he never wore it, and instead dragged it behind him on his way to the ring. Green Machine and Drake Tungsten: My tag team were faces. Green Machine was an over enthusiastic high-flying luchadore who loved kids, did an over the top Hulk Hogan early 80s style of promo, with Owen Hart's enthusiasm as The Blue Blazer. Drake was a lunkhead who only spoke in single words, and did everything the Machine told him to do. I remember getting back into e-fedding in the early 2000s and came up with a character, a charismatic heel, similar to Shawn Michaels. Handsome and chiseled from constant workouts, did promos from his mansion overlooking a mountain lake, talked about how great he was in the ring and how everyone could be like him if they just put their mind to it. Those were fun times!

I used to love efedding. I used to do pretty well before running out of role play ideas. I used to be doing 3,000 word role plays that no one would read whilst I was at university. Christ. Some feds I was in are still going. Sometimes I think about going back but then I remember I just turned 29.

Nothing is worse than that late night feeling when you stumble upon an old RP saved deep in your files and you read it and nostalgia hits and you think of making a comeback run, despite your age. Then...it hits... I wish e-feds had a impact testing because a lot of fedders because very broken from losing.

I miss 101 Wrestling. What was the most widely known fed? FWO with the poser characters was great, amazing layout. Supreme Championship Wrestling where my creation ended up US Champion is still going eight years after I left there. It's a weird form of dedication. There cant be too many active and well ran efeds left can there?

I once witnessed someone who went on to have a fairly good run on the indy scene corner a promoter who wouldn't give him mic time because he didn't think he could cut a promo while holding a print out of his E-Fed posts to prove he could. The same person also tried to explain E-Feds to an utterly confused and very high Jake Roberts on a completely unrelated occasion.

There aren't many of the old efeds still open. I know for a fact the WfWA shut down, I suspect the NeWA(zomg the only efed sanctioned by the NWA) is gone. I know that High Octane Wrestling is still around, but there's some weird cult of personality around the owner, Lee Best. And there's some stuff at Fwrestling. I was always amused by how two different efedders could go years without ever hearing about the different circles people ran in. I also liked how different groups of folk always had totally different stereotypes about different groups. This group is all poo poo writers, that group is a cinch of vampire mafia writers, etc. Apparently Twitter is the new place for an infinite number of lovely efedders.

Amusingly, my best friend from school who I was also in a band with was an efedder. We had an awkward conversation one day on MSN Messenger after we discovered we both liked wrestling where he asked me if I partook in the hobby. I can only imagine it's a similar awkwardness when two paedophiles meet. We joined one or two feds together in our time, never really having a run against one another. He was an English literature studdent at University and was a half decent writer, I enjoyed his work, and I was a flowery fucker when it came to my roleplays. He once joined a fed and no showed, but managed to win his debut against his opponent who did the same because his pic base was Robert Plant and the owner was a mark for Led Zep. Good times. You're totally right about the circles - I joined SCW's development fed in around mid 2007, and that scene is still going to this day. My character's name is still in the title history page, a constant reminder of my favourite waste of time. I remember coming back to the hobby in around 2011 and everything had changed - feds were no longer based on websites anymore, probably due to scarcity of reliable, free hosting, and were now based on forums. This always annoyed me because I loved seeing a well designed website. And things like ewrestler's twitter pages had become A Thing, as had podcasts. I appeared on one fed's podcast one show, and many complained on the OOC board that my British accent was difficult to understand. Brilliant! God, I remember being 12 years old in 1999 and joining my first one. Linked from s fortune city java chat room, hosted on 321website.com with an Inside The Web roleplay board. A simpler time, a better time.

I had off and on stints with efeds since high school in the late 90's to like...early 2015. They rule. I give the latest place I was at - XHW (https://xhwarena.proboards.com) - a solid recommend. They've been running for like over 10 years now. UpfrontSalmon fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Mar 3, 2016 |

I was in FWO back in the day and that was a really cool/somewhat professional experience, plus the designs were always really top notch. I don't even know what feds even exist anymore.

There was a point where there was an Official TNA eFed. It was born on a prior incarnation of TNA's official fan forums. It allowed both "canon" wrestlers (i.e. wrestlers who really existed) as long as they weren't employed by WWE, and non-canon wrestlers, which made things a little weird as you'd have guys like Chris Daniels and Abyss and Raven alongside made-up guys. It eventually left the TNA fan forums just before the forums were nuked and re-started by TNA, limped along for a few years (and underwent a namechange) before finally dying.

It did, but it was also just to prevent people from cutting promoes on one another And then there was a Wrestlehut 2000 e-fed which went off the forums after recruitment. That soured things for people for a while because it was really dumb, and the rule got really harsh. We wouldn't be allowed to have this thread if this was the bad old days, because nobody wanted word one about e-feds since they're dumb and awful. But I think some reflection on a silly hobby back in the day is alright. I have run a D&D game where I had the players do a wrestling type gladiatorial thing once. It went okay. I also played Vince McMahon as a fleshcrafting necromancer in search of making his own Rocky Horror-type muscleman in a D&D game that puttered out after a bit. It's a lot of fun to try to play Vince accurately. Lots of power struts and shouting.

Yeh, this forum has definitely had the no efed vibe about it. Which is fine. But as the poster above says it's nice to reflect on what was a fun time killer. Now, explaining the hobby to new partners, that was fun.

I can't be the only goon who was involved with the National Wrestling Council conglomeration of e-feds, can I? I lost all my good words to that place. Lots of bad words too. So many drat words. Still, I've found I can still get most of what I enjoyed from e-feds from WWW, even if I need to dig for another game here soon.

I never participated in any E-feds, but I did run several sessions of WWWRPG for my friends. The most popular character, both for the audience and the players, was this huge gigantic man called Ilija, the Magnificent Udmurt, from Udmurtia, Russia. Ilija's player played the character as having no creative control on his character and being in a constant flux, starting out as a big Russian, then transforming into a Mongol, then a grateful immigrant and fan of America, then something resembling an actual person from Udmurtia, before finally joining the nWo.

His finishers are the Diamond Cutter(the Genocide Killer), the Tombstone(the killing kill), the Burning Hammer(kill you to death) and his big match finisher is the jumping Tombstone off the middle rope, not the top because that's too much. Also his biggest weakness is that sometimes he forgets he's not always in a Hardcore match and will get himself dqed for being too extreme.
