Easy Use this handy google form. Go on, click it!

To have all your submissions in one place we'll be using a google form. This will make things easier for me to keep track of all character submissions from both brands (SA and lp.zone, though, there are no plans to present them as separate entities in the show.). I'll still ask you to leave a post in the thread just so I know it's you and I have a reminder to check form submissions. If you wanna change your current gimmick you can just drop that in the thread or contact me privately some other way if you want.

First of all, have a look at the characters we already have this go around so you can get an idea of what this is gonna be. Here's our entire current roster



Why am I doing this to myself again?
"Much like being a fan of the real thing, WWE 2K18 is often more of a chore than it is fun. Hilariously, yet tragically, I still find myself hoping it'll be better next time." -Nick Valdez, Destructoid

"Despite the series' ongoing strengths, this year is a royal stumble." -Mitchell Saltzmann, IGN

"This series has always suffered from its fair share of glitches, but they're especially egregious and plentiful this year." -Richard Wakeling, Gamespot

"Anyone will have a good time on WWE 2K18, with its fast-paced, brutal and addictive action." - Daniel Cutts, The Sun

"this is quite easily the worst of the series so far, i find absolutely no pleasure in it and can by no means recommend it to anyone." R3Y on Steam

"2K must be going for some kind of record in most games published without doing QA." -Bocc Kob on Steam

"sad game" -Alice'' on Steam

"No Custom Story mode AGAIN? Now I'll have to use someting external for the story bits for LPFWA, what the gently caress?" -IGgy IGsen, right here, right now. Oh yeah, we're doing this baybay!!!

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."


Below is a description of the titles. If you're interested in current champions and title history view this spreadsheet and select the Title History tab at the bottom.

LPFWA Championship

The major title of LPFWA's men's division. The original belt was stolen a few years ago so this plastic replica is now the major belt. In case something happens to it we have a ton more because they are basically merch but no one wants to buy it because it looks so cheap.

LPFWA Women's Championship

The major title for the women's division of LPFWA. It is was vacant due to a lack of competition until a tournament for the belt was held (Episode 21). The introduction to this title did not go as smoothly as was hoped because somehow we split into two timelines. I don't even know what's going on anymore.

LP Superstar Championship

The men's minor title. Some say it's become more prestigious than the LPFWA Championship because it gets defended more often and is not made of plastic. But don't listen to them.

Kawaii Championship

The women's division minor title, though, technically, since there is no major title this is the actual major title??? Can't wait for there to be enough women in LPFWA to get them a proper belt, like the LPFWA Women's Championship (Which eventually got introduced).

The Co-Commentary Championship

It's called co-commentary title for some reason but don't be fooled, it's actually a belt for wrestling in a tag team, not commentating over matches.

The Buscus Championship

This belt is unique in that it is not awarded for being a winner, but for losing. The match for the Buscus opens every show. The loser wins the honor of opening the next show as well.


Black's Title

This title is defended under 24/7 rules and doesn't require a sanctioned match. Hell it's probably not even a sanctioned Title. This means it's always on the line, even if your cat is sitting down on you. If a ref is around they can count the 1-2-3 and your cat is new champion. This probably happened at some point. Specifically, it's earned by defeating the person holding it without question, not by winning a match necessarily.

Bunny Championship :3

It was introduced as a punishment for crimes against bunnikind. It has no real rules associated to it but it is defended at every show. It's kind of a reverse Buscus belt in that it gets awarded to winners.



What the hell is LPFWA?
Glad you asked! LPFWA (orignally Let's Play Forum Wrestling Association, but the meaning of the acronym changes every single show) is an E-Wrestling Federation. Essentially it's like pro wrestling only even more fake! The acteurs on the stage called LPFWA are YOU! Yes you! Whether you submit a character or are simply part of the crowd. Your Custom Wrestlers I will make for you will duke it out. Of course, it wouldn't be pro wrestling without the storylines! There's storyline bits between some of the matches to help you pick your favorite and sometimes just have a laugh. It's a thing I did twice before and although there is a continuity you don't need to sit back and watch all past shows. Due some time having passed since the end of last "Season" we'll all jump into the middle of something because sometimes you stop watching wrestling and then come back years later. This incarnation will be run in WWE 2k18

Is... Is this a roleplay? What is going on in this thread, I read the OP but I do not understand.
People in the thread are encouraged to act in-character between shows. Gives them something to do and makes for some fun reads too. General rule is it's not canon until proven otherwise. Or it's canon until proven otherwise? I don't even know anymore. Just have fun!

Ah okay, I'm not interested in Wrestling, though.
Well, you don't have to be. But it probably helps. Have it be known that I did the first two LPFWAs with the attitude that wrestling is bad (except Lucha Underground). Just bad. I've recently grown an actual appreciation for it, though. So I guess I now actually like wrestling.

Wait what? I thought WWE 2k18 didn't have a story creator.
That is true, we won't be able to use a story creator this time. Instead the stories will be told in short faux visual novel segments made in RenPy. Wrestling is an anime anyway, we're merely bringing it to its logical conclusion here. While this format is a step back in some ways (lack of 3D animation) it lifts quite a few of the arbitrary restrictions the garbage Story Creator last seen in WWE 2k14 had. Aside from that it's basically the same but in 2D and even more anime.

Okay, I assume you have a rich and detailed lore. Do I need to know any of it
Nope. As already mentioned earlier, there's a time skip since the last episode that happened. Even if you're familiar with either of the previous "Seasons" most of what happens will be new to you. This way we can have a nice facade of the show having gone on since 2013! (It's canonically 2027, three years have passed since the end of the previous season, which was about two years ago. Don't question it). If you really wanna read up there's a summary of things that happened in the next post.

All right, so how fake is this fake wrestling. Are the outcomes predetermined?
No they are not. There are no plans to rig the outcomes despite the pre-recorded nature. I'll just use the first take. Mainly because there won't be a second take. Yeah, you heard that right. Matches and story segments will be pre-taped this go around with the actual commentary and interactive part being done live on stream. This is more of a necessity than a design decision. It's to make sure story segments integrate nicely and won't be me drunkenly trying to play a visual novel part while setting up the next match that is supposed to happen only to accidentally pick the RAW arena instead of the LPFWA arena (maybe I'll do it on purpose, though). This however, also allows me to improve the show in other ways that would be unthinkable if done completely live and I don't have to constantly do stuff on stream to make sure everything works.

Do I have to be a Let's Player to join?
Of course not.

Cool, let's do this!
Thrilled to have you! You can be a part of the LPFWA Universe (tm) in one or more of several fun ways!

1. Most obviously, you can submit your character for me to make (or make your own). To do that use the character submission form also found earlier in the thread.
2. There will be parts in the show where fake ads will be displayed for flavour, you can make one of these. As long as it's in good taste and not some dumb forums meme I don't understand because I'm old I'll use it. Just make sure it's 300 x 100)
3. I'll provide small icons of headshots for your characters, allowing you to act in character in the thread. That was really fun last time! While these can't always become canon I'll make an effort to collect all of them by ripping off what crow did/was gonna do for his unfortunately abandoned TEW2013 LP: I'll collect them all in a single post!
4. Occasionally your votes can affect the show. Determining the type of an upcoming match, participants and maybe other things
5. For bigger shows there will be a prediction game. Unlike last time there's no prizes due to steam games being no longer easily giftable between a lot of countries. So for the time being it's just for fun. Maybe we can work out something cool as a reward eventually.
6. Just watch the stream, have a good time and interact in the chat if you want. Your reactions will help shape LPFWA after all...
7. ... it's all about the acronyms! LPFWA orignally stood for Let's Play Forum Wrestling Association, but that was a long, long time ago. It stopped being true after the very first episode. The acronym has changed every episode since then as a result of someone in the chat coming up with a new meaning for the acronym LPFWA. These will be used as episode titles.
8. There's probalby more small ways I can't think of right now.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."

Worry not, the below is a lot. It's just to give you an idea of what this is. No one expects you to know all of LPFWA Lore. In fact, you don't need to know any of it.

Part 1: The Kliq

pictured above: Chicken Chicken Chicken CHICKEN!

18th June 2013, 08:37 PM. The thread for the original LPFWA goes live after IGgy drunkenly recorded some video for something with Junpei Hyde and Schir Junpei showed them VGCW. IGgy's thought was: "This is boring as gently caress and yet amazing, I'll buy WWE 2k13 off amazon right now and do the same thing myself". And because I'm a colossal idiot, when the game actually arrived, I did that thing myself.

As talent gathered the show took on a form much more similar to VGCW than what LPFWA turned into later. There was no commentary except for the ingame voice tracks. Which I'm sure put their educated feet to got use. Hell, in the beginning there wasn't even music. But in the small community called Let's Play Forum dot net, a clique mostly consisting of SA members, it gained traction. It lasted until 1st December 2013. The final episode is not canon because Vince McMahon buys LPFWA and fires everybody and then rocks fall and everybody dies.

Notable storylines and moments:
- IGgy claims he's too drunk to fight and has his life-long buddy BNF take over almost all of his matches
- Kadorhal allegedly refused to tag in Mecca Prime during a tag team match, starting the longest running feud in LPFWA history. This started the "gently caress you Kad" movement among the fans.. In the final episode it turned out that that was Kadorhals evil twin brother, Ladorhal and Kad and Mec reconciled to fight for the Co-Commentary championship one last time.

pictured above: Kad and a gently caress You Kad sign.

- Black holding the Nameless Belt for almost the entire duration of the season until purposefully pitting himself against three foes. And even then he didn't lose the first time, reality could not comprehend Black losing and shut down (soft locked the game). The second time he managed though. That's right, Black is so good he needed two tries to lose to Dr. Rath on purpose. The belt was known as Black's Title from this moment on and Black himself was never seen or heard from or again.
- Junpei Hyde turned into an anime by re-enacting a scene from Dragon Ball Z. Yeah. Then she lost immediately. Ouch.
- Some morons (IGgy and Punchy) claimed that they had a third man for... whatever. That third man turned out to be some famous youtube guy with a million Binding of Isaac videos. It was kind of a wet fart.
- Frosty the Dragon committed Reficide for real. Like, a referee actually died because he kept attacking him. Which prompted the United Referee's Association featuring Referee Joe, brother of the killed referee, to hunt down Frosty. Attempting his revenge Ref Joe was heavily injured when Frosty broke the ring by superplexing Joe. Ref Joe went on to tattoo himself, grow his hair out and a beard. He then managed to defeat fruity in a Hell in a Cell match at the Toxx Party PPV, cut his hair, shaved is beard but didn't remove the tattoos.
- Cyrekk was forced to compete for the Buscus, a belt that is obtained by losing to determine the worst of the worst. Refusing to do so he assumed the persona of Not Cyrekk. Everybody saw through the disguise though and soon Cyrekk and Not Cyrekk were book as a tag team to expose them. Surprisingly, Cyrekk and Not Cyrekk actually showed up together, only the mask of Not Cyrekk was donned by someone different every time they were forced to be in the same place at the same time.


Part 2: Something Awful This Way Comes

On 5th May 2014 LPFWA opened doors again to celebrate its ten year anniversary in 2023. Don't worry about this not making sense for now and just roll with it. Ten years had passed and the anniversary of the foundation of LPFWA drew close. It made everything very confusing because the beginning of LPFWA wasn't exactly ten years in the futurepast. The Anniversary aired on 23.05.2015 about a month less than ten ye- I mean... IT WAS TEN YEARS OKAY!

Anyway, this time talent from the Something Awful dot com forums entered the ring and the show now had commentary and got many of its other trademarks, though, I couldn't tell you what those are. But basically LPFWA found its identity.

Notable storylines and moments:
- A tournament for the Vacant LPFWA Championship was held. Sterv won it by ripping and tearing through his competition.
- During the above tournament somehow Loki was replaced with Punchy, who lost earlier, by the game. Yeah, not me. This was a legit shoot. Or bug, if you wanna call it that. This started the Standgate scandal. Because someone from chat said Punchy was Loki's stand or something? I dunno. It caught on and anilEhilated swore to expose Standgate. Punchy, of course, admitted to being a Stand despite that not being true which made the investigation difficult. In the end it turned out Punchy just knocked out Loki during a brief power outage before the match started to take his place.
- Dash Rendar and Galen Marek engaged in the most awkward romance ever. Neither of the two had any experience with romance and struggled even to hug each other. They required the assistance of Fruitsniffer to learn more about hugging. Eventually it worked out but now they're broken up I think??? I don't exactly follow this kind of stuff too closely.
- After Dash Rendar somehow stole all the food on the moon there was a food crisis in LPFWA. At the International Food Throwdown PPV BFC and Frosty had a Pizza match to create infinite pizza to solve said crisis. They did so, we now have a pizza vortex and we can just take a slice from an infinite selection of different types of pizza.
- Oh, by the way, LPFWA is on the moon.
- Matches against WWE Legends are introduced as bonuses after shows. The first one was John Cena, which defeated many of the strongest warriors LPFWA had to offer until Junpei Hyde gained John Cena's respect by defeating him in a Flaming Tables Match, winning the WWE Championship.
- Zore, a garish neon ninja, gets massively over as the Buscus Champion. Him constantly losing must be very relatable? Eventually Zore changed his moveset and... he beat Junpei for the WWE Title.
- Lazyfire and Immortan Joe REALLY hated anime, apparently, and so decided to hunt down the animes of LPFWA. But eventually it turns out they like anime because wrestling is anime and become friends. But at the end of the Anime PPV tragedy strikes! Emperor Palpatine runs over Lazyfire's Lomo with Lazyfire inside. Ten times. Fuckin' ded. It wasn't the first time Palpy did this but... the first time he at least didn't do it ten times. That was a bit excessive.

Pictured above: Immortan Joe after witnessing Lazyfire's limo being crushed ten times.

- At the Burn Down the Sandcastle PPV Palpatine threw IGgy in a pit in an efford to take over LPFWA and turn it into SLW, his own promotion he wishes to revive. What really happened was that IGgy went on vacation and Palpy just did what he wanted in the meantime. This culminated at the SLW Revival PPV. When Palpy put everything in motion to have him and his goons win all titles in LPFWA. Palpy even cashed in the defunct money in the bank briefcase after Fred Hope and Flamander finished their championship match. Thankfully, Flamander discovered that he can transform from a bootleg Sentai into a real Sentai Hero and killed his plan dead. After that LPFWA returned to normal because IGgy returned from vacation and as a punishment Palpy was forced to do the interviews IGgy did until that point.

Pictured above: The lovely LPFWA header image made even shittier.

- At the same show Lazyfire also returned as a force ghost. Probably worth mentioning.
- The Raranomicon :3 happens. Rara won the rights to be at the helm for one episode and there were bunnies everywhere. Rara fed special cupcakes to everyone that gave them bunny ears and made everyone adore bunnies :3 She did all this to draw out Bun Bun, living in a castle close to the LPFWA arena. It worked. It may have been coincidence because Bun Bun came over to complain about all that noise. Or maybe the cosmic bunnies did it. Who knows?
- At the Toxx Party PPV IGgy has to take one sip from his drink from every Suplex Aurora performs. It was 93, I think. Fuckin' ded.
- A sledgehammer got a pinfall victory over Triple H.
- Dr. Rath wrote his name onto the moon with a death ray.
- During Lpfwamania the moon is hurled towards the sun by an extremely powerful Auroraplex SX and everyone gets their braingearz turning to find a way to remedy the situation somehow. Eventually Fred Hope and Flamander decide it would be wise to use lesser suplexes to counter the momentum because another Auroraplex SX would probably break the moon in half. It worked. We're headed back to earth... and that brings us to...

Part 3: Coming Home




You might find us throwing around weird words sometimes. The wrestling business comes with a lot of specific terms, a lot of which have their origins in carny speak. But just to make sure you know at least most of them here's a small list.

Kayfabe: To stay in character and pretend that wrestling is real. This used to be a 24/7 deal where wrestlers would pretend to be their personas every waking minutes of their lives. This has been loosened considerably with the dawn of the internet and a general better understanding of how the business works.
The Business: We in the Business call the pro wrestling business The Business.
Killing the Business: Concerns of the business dying due to wrestling not being portrayed as realistic and/or legitimate. It's what old out-of-touch has-beens say happens when The Young Bucks do flips. Or when Kenny Omega wrestled a nine-year old. Or when Chuck Taylor threw an invisible hand grenade. Or when Kota Ibushi wrestled a blow-up doll. Or when Mae Young gave birth to a fully grown human hand. Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry was the father. That actually happened.
Gimmick: The persona a wrestler portrays. it's common for wrestlers to change their personas multiple times throughout their carreers. Often but not necessarily associated with a turn. For instance, Roman Reigns gimmick used to be that he's part of The Shield, then his gimmick was that he's a manufactured successor to John Cena now his gimmick is that he's a manufactured successor to John Cena who is part of The Shield.
Face: A "good guy" wrestler. The crowd is supposed to cheer for them. When they boo them instead we call that a Roman Cena.
Heel: A "bad guy" wrestler. The crowd is supposed to boo them. When they cheer them instead we call that either bad character work or way too loving over as a face.
Turn: When a wrestler changes their alignment from Heel to Face or vice versa. Usually specified as "face turn" or "heel turn"
Being Over: A wrestler is considered over when they are accepted by the crowd in their role as a face or heel. It's not unheard of, that someone is so over as a face that they get cheered even after turning heel, which is undesired.
Promo: A segment during which one or more wrestlers speak to the audience or address another wrestler to build interest in a match or feud.
Crowd Pop: Positive crowd reaction signified by sudden loud cheering. This is the reaction a face is supposed to illicit.
Heat: Negative crowd reaction or more accurately, being despised by the crowd. Either due to being a heel or due to being Roman Reigns. Heat is not exclusive to the crowd, though, it can also take place between two performers or between the performer and the promoter and also their mothers.
Cheap Heat/Pop: An easy crowd reaction. Most common example would be to compliment some local sports team to get cheered, or calling the audience idiots for boos. Not necessarily looked down upon but Smarks pretend to hate it to feel better about themselves.
Mark: Someone who thinks wrestling is real. Recently has become more of an insult wrestlers will throw at fans on twitter if they disagree with them on anything related to wrestling.
Smark: A "smart" Mark. Sometimes also called an Internet fan. It's somebody who is aware of and interested in the workings and happenings of the Business. Some claim they are contributing to the killing of the Business.
Shoot: Intentionally going off script. Usually breaking kayfabe. Can show itself in actually attacking another performer, intentionally injuring somebody, cutting a different Promo than intended, usually to bury another performer or in fact the promotion itself.
Botch: This is a normal word, isn't it? Describes when a move or spot goes wrong, possibly injuring somebody or misspeaking/stuttering during a promo.
Work: The opposite of a shoot. When everyting goes according to plan.
Worked Shoot/Botch: A planned event that is supposed to appear as though it's a shoot or a botch.

And there's probably a lot that I forgot. There's many weird terms in the Business.

Cool, I'll start working on these as soon as I can (I'll be back from work in about 12 hours). I'll be dropping pics of them in the thread before finalizing them so you can make changes and/or I can tell you how possible it even is to make what you wanted.

I've started work on a couple more but this is the first I'm willing to show. Meet Toad. It's not actually a mushroom cap but an afro with red circles painted on. Well, they are mostly round, I tried my best.

There's some cool character ideas so far, keep em coming.

Hopefully I'll be able to fully flesh out and crank out some more over the weekend. Once we have a large enough roster ready we'll have our first show. With some of the poo poo that I've seen happening in the game I honestly can't wait.

I submitted a tree

One of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

This is as good as it's gonna get


Also: A little note here: I'm not going though these in order and I'm not rejecting anybody (yet).
The only reason that'll straight up make me reject a submission is if I think it's in bad taste or supposed to be a bad joke. Like, say, if you wrote "a tree" in the appearance field on the form. Then again, I just did that, so...

If there's any changes that need to be made let me know.

Here's two more.

El Catire Arrecho:




Ideally, I hope to be able to run the first show next weekend. I'll be announcing more once I'm able to actually make that call. After this initial set-up I'd ideally be able to run a show every week or every two weeks.

Also can I just note that the fact that you still have the adorable bunny avatar makes me smile. :3:

Oh, right, that happened in the same episode where DCB almost won a match!

Since the thread has no real content yet (I've worked on CAWs since the game came out on 13th October, and some other stuff even before that, prep work is much more than for the previous seasons) why not take a little look back?
Let's check out how I got my current avatar, among other things.

It happened during The Raranomicon :3.
The episode was written by Rara who won the rights to book an entire show. Since she's on the writing team anyway she also pretty much wrote the entire thing on her own. She even provided nice assets for me to adorn the stream with. And drew a match card :3


It was called Raranomicon :3 by me because that was my nickname for Rara on Skype at the time. Now I don't even have Skype installed anymore.

The story revolved around Rara giving cupcakes to everybody and the people who ate them mysteriously grew bunny ears. In the end it turned out she did this to summon BunBun, a bunny lady.

At some point DCB had a match against Rara herself. Up till that point DCB had never won a match, but the crowd was rooting for the Starbuck's Underdog every time. Maybe today would be the day... Then the game broke as it looked like DCB was about to win. Oh no :(

At the end of the show we usually have LPFWA wrestlers face off against wrestlers from real promotions. Zore, another wrestler famous for losing a lot went into the ring with none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin in this match. I missed half the match because I was busy getting myself a new adorable bunny avatar :3

And now you know about something that happened at some point!

EDIT:
Mmmh, new talent!

anilEhilated lost weight since last season

Right is the entrance attire. There was a request for a bathrobe over normal clothes but unfortunately it's no longer possible to do this as a match attire (most clothes that have physics won't allow that)
For some reason glasses also make it so a lot of hats can no longer be equipped, while a lot of headgear morphs the shape of glasses in weird ways.
(That black belt thing is a fanny pack with the pack part in the back)

Also, though she's been made for a while I forgot to introduce Hell-Ena

It's jimmydalad's character made by jimmydalad.

I'll probably focus more on getting everybody ready for a first show before I crank out more CAWs. Movesets and entrances should be done soon. And once the entrances are ready there'll be a video with all of them.

If DCB CAN beat Asuka somehow we'll move on to a new opponent but since DCB is kind of known for losing a lot and Asuka is Asuka we'll probably have to throw another one of our wrestlers at Asuka next time.

Blind Sally posted:

The camera pans across a starship parking in the lot behind the LPFWA headquarter. It's sleek, black, and cool--all the descriptors a six-year-old would use to describe a starship. It's also covered in rust and garbage. It's the Outrunner, Dash Rendar's other ship. Purchased when he had a surplus of money, it's now the only thing he owns after having to sell the Outrider due to a shortage of money. Suffice it to say, his LPFWA career had not worked out. His final appearance on the show had tanked his reputation, sending all of his business ventures spiraling into ruin.

Inside the ship, we see Dash Rendar sitting at a desk, his holovid camera recording himself. Having subsisted on a steady diet of meat-lover's pizza and beer, the Dash we knew is now unrecognizable: overweight, unwashed, and out-of-shape. His stomach is visible, his clothing no longer up to the task of adequately cover him; his skin is the colour of a Kaminoan, his red treasure-trail standing out in stark contrast.

Dash picks up a large platter covered in slices of pizzas and grunts loudly for the camera. He reaches out of view and grabs a squeeze bottle of mayonnaise--a remnant of his days in the LPFWA when he had stolen the entire moon's supply of food. One wonders if the best before date has passed, but only for a moment. Dash gives the bottle a shake.

Oh yeah. You all know your boy Dash loves the taste of mayonnaise on pizza for breakfast.

He squeezes the bottle over the pizza.

Just drench this bantha poodoo in mother-crinking mayonnaise, oh yeah.

He grunts, a noise halfway between Tim Allen and a nerf. He tosses the bottle off-screen. A guest in the room would have noticed it was not the first bottle to have been so casually tossed aside--a monument in the corner sat as a testament to his sins.

Mother-crinking twenty-five slices of pizza, oh yeah. I love'em all being drenched in Sith-varped mayonnaise.

He reaches off-screen for another bottle.

Now that we got mother-skrogging mayonnaise all over the place, here comes to syrup!!! Gotta have that sweet and savoury taste!

He waves the bottle back and forth, spraying cheap corn-based syrup all over the pizza. His grunting intermingles with the grunts of the bottle until it is difficult to tell the two apart.

Aw, yeah. Stacks of sithspittin' mayonnaise and syrup-covered pizza, all for my gosh-dwanged gut! Yeah, boy, look at that sloppy-shebbed druk. Yer boy Dash is gonna eat it all!

He slaps his belly, as if for good measure.

Twenty-six syrup-drenched, mayonnaise meat-lover's pizza slices going in your boy, Dash Rendar's, karking gut, hahahahaa!

Dash readjusts the camera--the top of his head is now cut off. He lays the platter on his ample lap. On a small being, it would be balanced precariously, but on Dash is settles in as if it belonged there. He grabs a slice of pizza and raises it to his mouth. He starts to take a bite then stops. There's a smidgen of mayo now in his beard.

Don't forget to like and subscribe if you wanna see your boy, Dash, put more bomb-sheb food-stuff jammed into this kraffing gas tank.

He grabs his stomach at this, clutching it for emphasis. His desperate shill complete, he begins to eat. Slice after slice. Bite after agonizing bite. His breathing is so loud at parts that it peaks the audio. May the Star Wars gods have mercy on those viewers listening with headphones.

A door in the background opens suddenly and in steps a spindly robot, Dash's companion, Leebo. Dash scrambles, knocking over a beer-can tower as he falls out of his chair. The pizza platter is spillt all over the floor. He grabs a blanket to cover himself--it is covered in mayonnaise.

Sir, I have good news! The LPFWA has renewed your--oh, what the hell. Again? Seriously!?
It's not what it looks like!
You mean you're not eating a bunch of garbage for your horrible YouTube channel?
Uh--
And you wonder why Guri left us.
Hey, now that's not fair--
You've spent the last two years sulking and drinking and eating--and eating. It's time for you to do something with yourself!
I AM doing something with myself!
Something else.
My last video got 10,000 views! I'm moving up in the world. Did you know that my Master_Jedi_Dash channel is the 15th most popular junk-food-related review channel on the moon's YouTube network?
I didn't. And I still don't. Gonna quickly purge that bit of information from my memory banks.
Oh, come on! You've never supported me!
No! Never! And I never will! But at least you didn't embarrass me! Dash Rendar used to mean something. He used to be the greatest jobber in the LPFWA--
Wait, I was a jobber?
--now you sit around the Outrunner making weird internet videos. On the Outrunner! You used to do this poo poo on the Outrider!!!
Bandwidth isn't cheap on the moon.
Look, the LPFWA renewed your contract. I don't know what they were thinking. I'm guessing it's a clerical error. Doesn't matter. You're back.
I-IGgy wants me back?
Again, it's very likely that this was a mistake.
Leebo, ol'buddy, I have to go!

Dash jumps to his feet and sprints to the hatch. He grabs his giant shoulder-pad armour off a hook and looks at it wistfully. The mayonnaise is still in his beard.

Here's hoping the old suit still fits.
I wouldn't count on it.

He moves to leave but stops himself. He reaches up on a nearby shelf and pulls down a bottle of Corellian brandy.

For courage.

Exeunt Dash. Leebo walks over the holovid camera and switches if off.

Anyway, God says she's pretty much okay with the way things are going in the LPFWA. Okay, so the demoness winning the Kawaii Title is a little worrisome, but she's sure one of us will go and beat her up and win it back for, you know, the glory of whatever.

She also said that I'm on to something with this whole coffee thing. I'm developing this extra-caffeinated mondo recipe that involves what I think might be a black magic portal to the Elemental Plane Of Caffeine? Is that even a thing? Well, it is now.

Hello and welcome, all you superstars of today, yesterday and tomorrow on the moon with LPFWA- Face stop breathing so heavily, I can hear you through the phone - welcome to the arrival of Kadorhal, Incorporated's CEO. As you are all no doubt aware from our many varied ads that were run during the first show-

Uh, sir?

Face, please put down the phone. Anyway, as you are indubitably aware of now, my name is-

Sir.

Damnit, Face, stop breathing so heavily, I'm trying to cut a pr-

Sir, nobody else is watching.

Wha? Oh... uh, just you?

Just me.

Uh-huh... Well, we can do this in a couple hours, right? They did see all our wonderful ads, yes?

They decided not to run any for the first show. There weren't enough.

Well that's the-... eh, gently caress it, that's reasonable. This moon-market's untapped potential that's gonna be lucrative as hell - you see those new videos of that one guy eating pizza and stuff? Don't want to drown out all the competition before they become big enough to be worth buying out. Did you at least find a sweet TV?

I think this TV is older than any of the wrestlers here.

Jesus... Why did you even pick now of all times to do this? It's right around 6 AM where I'm from!

Well, y'know, we're kind of on the moon. Nighttime and daytime don't really apply the same way, so my biological clock's a little...

Yeah yeah okay I get it. Jeez, this guy. You don't see me complaining about heading to the moon at this time of night!

About that... why now?

Well, I don't want to have to chase the moon down getting to it!

... Uh, sir... you do know-

YES I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE BASICS OF SPACE TRAVEL. I don't want to waste twelve loving hours waiting for the destination to come back to me, either! I'm not wasting time or fuel on this poo poo, not when there's so much work to do! Find a bigger TV in a more populated area and get ready to start this poo poo up again in... eight hours sounds reasonable. Eight hours! End transmission.

The TV suddenly turns off, as do the lights. Then it starts smoking, because it hasn't been stored or maintained properly - who'd they expect to keep an eye on things back here, a fifteenth Goldberg? The weird sci-fi dual-screen thingy that wasn't meant to be used with it probably didn't help either. Face is left in near-complete darkness, the only light provided by the weird (but totally awesome) glowing eyepieces to his mask.

...


Why did I sign on with this jackass again...?



Oh, yeah. He pays really well.

Dragonatrix posted:

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

I betrayed the Cosmic Bunnies... too many times to count... I threw away that belt I found lying around, by giving it to Rara so I got the Bunny Championship :3 as a curse...

But then I lost the Bunny Championship :3 immediately!

And then... and then... Rara got attacked... no, Rara got murdered! For that terrible, ugly belt that really belongs in the dumpster...

I think I can fix all this though. First, I just need to figure out who attacked Rara... who would want an ugly belt that they need to defend all the time...? Hmm.

Hey, doc? That full-body workover...it really did wonders for my back. Thank you.

Next time though, I'll be giving you a full examination. With a hammer. Or a staircase. Or...or...uh...gently caress poo poo poo poo gently caress you had it you sounded so threatening

I'LL GIVE YOU A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE, DOCTOR MAN!

Kadorhal posted:



C'mon, you stupid piece of... I got this working on a TV that doesn't even have the right hookups for this poo poo, why won't you... there!

At the press of a button, the TV springs to life. And... once again, filled with static. Does Face just have a fascination for outdated poo poo? This time, though, there doesn't appear to be any sort of figure on the other end - just the static.



Huh... that's weird. I'm doing this at the right time, aren't I?

Face pulls out his phone, dialing a number. After a few seconds of ringing, it picks up.

Yes, hello?

Sir, I set up on a newer TV like you said, but nothing's coming through.

Wha...? Oh, it's Fa- The hell are you calling me about that for now, my man?

Eight hours. Exactly how long you told me to wait to do this again.

Oh... so I did. Still, the point is, I'm not on the space-plane anymore. I haven't had time to set up a more permanent thing for making statements! Do you have any idea how short a time eight hours really is?

... so, what do you want me to do now, then?

Find a different TV, most likely. Did you get a better one at all?

Well, I went into the twelfth room instead of the fifteenth... it's a little better...

Gah, you and your obsession with old technology... what the gently caress is any of that even doing on the moon?... gently caress it, I'll do the promo myself when I'm all set up and ready. Just take the day off or something, get ready for the next show, whatever.

Sure thing, sir.

Face hits a button to end the call, looking over the TV still displaying nothing but static. He gives it a knowing nod, smirking underneath his gas mask. What the hell does this mysterious boss-type character know, oldies are goodies.

The TV itself disagrees, though, as it befalls the same fate as the last one - shutting down, taking the power in the room with it for a while as it begins emitting a foul-smelling smoke. Face can only be glad he's already wearing a gas mask. no, i don't care if they don't actually do anything about smells. bite me, i'm the narrator.

... Maybe the boss is right about this old poo poo. Hey, doctor! You got a TV I can borrow?

Wow, you people are nuts. I didn't expect you threadlarp quite this much! (Don't stop, though) I just added all that to the update post. It's now very huge. Maybe I should think of some better way to handle this in the future. Maybe I'll just repurpose this post later on to feature all that, I dunno.

Next episode is in the planning stages. Currently. As I said at the end of the first episode I'm not gonna guarantee a weekly schedule for the sake of my own sanity (first episode only took me an estimated 100 combined hours with everything that went into it). But maybe it'll work out that way, who knows?

Hello, masked man. I see the powers at be have decided that we should be paired up...which explains why the help droids hauled in two beds. As my roomie apprentice, I have a few ground rules:

1. Do not touch any of Grandfather's belongings. They're encased in glass for a reason.

2.access to my iPod is a privilege, not a right. Adding or deleting songs without my permission will cause me to revoke this privilege.

2a.Don't delete any of my podcasts, I'm still getting caught up on Night Vale. Doing so will cause your privileges to be revoked as stated above.

2b.Televison privileges follow the same thought process. You record any stupid poo poo like Golden Girls, you're stuck with that fossil you keep.

3. If I you break any of my things you're paying for the repair/replacement. No exceptions.

4.If you ship Arkos, I don't know you. Bumblebee or bust.

5.If you don't think When it Falls is the best song on the OST we'll have words.

5a. If you like Taiyang, I'm gonna have to correct you. He is NOT a Good dad, and is a TERRIBLE character. Not that I know what a good dad is.

6.If you talk about Han Solo, I WILL INFLICT PAIN UPON YOU LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER DREAM-

7. Lower the toilet seat when you're done. Don't be a dick.

I think that covers it.

Well, that hurt... A lot. Not quite sure why I'd be expecting it not to, though. Still, not all bad. We won, and we're champions now! And Ren invited me to watch that "ruby" thing too, which could be a fun evening... assuming the show itself's not as edgy and grating as that song, I guess. I mean I get liking that sort of thing... when you're thirteen, maybe... but hey.

Still, wonder what was up with that feeling of dread I had before the ma-

Face's phone suddenly rings.

Hello?

Hey, Face, good to see you won your first match. I tell ya, honestly, I didn't think you had it in you. Less so than that other guy you're with, but still, close to 50-50 not-in-you. Anyway, congratulations on being a champion from the second show onward. Now get out here, I need you to hook something up on the Titantron. I'm here and I've got an announcement to make.

Aww... Can't I at least have a few moments to recuperate? Even if we won, I still kind of got beaten up. You know how wrestling is.

I suppose I do, yes. Alright... eight minutes. Keep resting for eight minutes, then go plug the thing into the Titantron. See ya then... or, not. It's not two-way, after all.

The totally mysterious guy on the other end ends the call. Face just shakes his head.

Gaah... but the Titantron is so far out there... and I'm in here, in the doctor's office that has Goldberg's name on it for some reason... kind of confusing to navigate, really, hope the boss'll be okay when he's out and about. gently caress it, I'll just borrow his TV, it's good enough...




Eight minutes later...



The TV in the doctor's office suddenly comes to life... still with static, for some reason. Much less than previous attempts, however, so there's an improvement. Clearly visible on the television is... Gordon Freeman?

Good morning, afternoon, evening, whatever it is here on the moon, superstars and lunar viewing public. I apologize that I could not make a less showy introduction for myself - say, a guest-appearance at the commentator's table - but time crunches and all that. Anyway, my name is Gordon Threemen, and I am the CEO of Kadorhal, Incorporated, the fine company you have no doubt seen many advertisements for during yesterday's performances. I'm here to say, simply, that the moon - as you are no doubt aware, considering the presence of this wrestling promotion - is untapped potential. The Wild West, moved more... uh, north-ish, I guess? There's no cardinal direction for gaining altitude, poo poo. Well regardless, there's money to be made up here! And Kadorhal, Inc. is here to get in on that money. We've already got various goods and services on sale, again as you are no doubt aware of already from our advertisements, and we hope that with a new lunar-based operation we can improve the quality and production-time. Perhaps, even, expanding further...? There's still a whole eight other planets... seven? Eh, Pluto's still a planet. It was when I was born, gently caress off! There's still a whole rest of the solar system to explore... the business opportunities of, that is. And once we've gone beyond that... there's a whole galaxy. And another whole galaxy some of our talent has been coming from. We're looking forward and ahead, is what I'm getting at.

Now that all the introductions are out of the way, allow me to make a few more statements regarding the future of the moon and our co-

Threemen's image is suddenly removed from the TV as it turns off. Face is standing nearby, holding the device he'd connected to it to allow the message to be transmitted - disconnected from the TV.

Sorry, boss. Ren just brought those Blu-rays, and we need to borrow a TV. Eh, I'm sure he had a script or something, he can read off it some other time.

I would've hoped that the events just witnessed would refute any claims I am a ghost! Could a ghost interact physicaly in the ring like that? I think not! Unless they were cursed by a gypsy woman that they won't know rest until they are famous in the ring of honour, but that would be completely ridiculous! See? Not a ghost.

That should throw them off for a while Woolsey. You are as excellent a thespian as ever. Stupid gypsy crone wasn't lying though, turns out I can touch things in the ring, though I can also still feel pain. A lot of pain. Almost as much as when I was crus-

No Woolsey, you promised yourself you wouldn't think about that. No need to dwell on the painful past. Just think about the painful present. And probable painful future. Speaking of...

ALSO WOULD WHOEVER HAS THEIR RECORD PLAYER TURNED UP SO LOUD CUT IT OUT! THAT ISN'T EVEN MUSIC. WHERE IS THE SAXOPHONE? WHERE IS THE ORCHESTRA? DON'T MAKE ME SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER ABOUT THIS!

I should also have a chat with that tree. He was highly unprofessional but I overheared an excellent, though highly inaccurate, tag team name. And Woolsey Smythe is never one to let a little tiff get in the way of a snazzy idea.

So, we won. I must admit that masked man is pretty capable. He will make a fine ally apprentice. Honestly, I didn't expect to win-the Supreme Leader never trained me to fight ghosts or angry trees. Neither did RWBY. That thing smacked me around for a while, I can still feel it. It is a good pain.Fortunately, it suddenly lost the desire to win,allowing me to hold the ghost in place with the Force for 3 seconds. That took ALL of my concentration and training to pull off. And to think I could get even stronger under Lord Sidious' tutelage!

Also, masked man-Face, I think your name is- I.. can't believe I'm saying this... but I apologize for leaving such a bad first impression. I'm not used to having a partner. Subordinates,sure. But I never had someone who I could really...talk to. It feels...nice. I don't know if that's a bad thing or not, yet. But one thing I know for sure- keep training and you might be good enough to be a Knight of Ren one day. Maybe. So, how's about it? Willing to start fresh? You can come over and I can introduce you to RWBY. I got all the Blu-Rays and I can get that loser FN-2187 to pick up snacks for the both of us! It'll be fun... I mean, if you're interested. No skin off my back if you aren't, nosiree.

Wow, Lotus, you got destroyed out there. You let Iggumz beat you? >:3

You know, there's a way you can regain your honor in the eyes of the Cosmic Bun and let Her light shine on you once more. I don't think it will get rid of the curse of the Bunny Championship :3 on the LPFWA but I don't think I would wanna do that anyway, the belt is too cute :3

It may be a difficult road to travel, but nobody ever said achieving the three B's was easy. Let me know if you wanna join me in my bunology studies and become one of my leporine laborers. For justice, or whatever :3

Already the LP Superstar champion and its his first match? I'm so proud.

Congratulations on becoming LP Superstar Champion!

You don't even know what he looks like yet, though. There's exactly zero cat costume parts aside from ears...


Hell, I'm pretty sure some of thes parts don't even belong to cats (tail is entrance only due to the game being dumb)
If there's changes you want I can try to make them happen. This is the most patchwork cat-costume I think is possible, though.

God, this is the first time this season getting drunk. Please don't report me for dunk posting. This post isn't that bad. Anyway, here's the results:

#1 Buscus Brawl
Lotus Aura (c) vs. Dash Rendar
Lotus gets most of the offense in but Dash wins by countout

#2 Conspiracy theories or something
anilEhilated vs. Woolsey Smythe
anil blows up a ghost

#3 Bunny Championship :3
The Masked Man vs. The Majestic Goat-Man (c)
Goat-Man won by pinfall, but holy crap, it took multiple MGMs outta nowhere and a superkick in mid-air to take The Masked Man out.

#4 NBD FEMALE TAG GET IN THE RING BOYS JK ITS GIRLS HAHA
DivineCoffeeBinge and Valerie Easton vs. Rara and Lady of the Lancet
Val puts the Kiss of Death on Rara and pins her. This is also DCBs first ever victory. But clearly, it doesn't count if it's not a singles match

#5 LP Superstar Title Match
Dr. Ham vs. Thundercat Chris Pine (c)
Two count-out victories in one show? Thundercat wins dishonorably

#6 Number 1 Contender Match for LPFWA Championship
Toad vs. Emperor Palpatine
Toad defeats Emperor Palpatine in a hard-fought match. They exchanged F-U-2s and Imperial Powerbombs. Palpy didn't whip out the Galactic Elbow, though.

#0 LPFWA vs. The Universe
A tree vs. Roman Reigns
Wow, that was a long match. But all that happens when a dog pisses against a tree is that the tree falls down on the dog and ouch. A tree wins.

Being LP Superstar Champion is the biggest honor in my career since I accepted the iconic role of Captain Kirk in J.J.'s Star Trek reboot. Great guy, phenomenal film, wonderful experience. The cast and I, we've become great friends.

Now let me actually talk a bit about who our very own might face.

1v1 Regular vs. Brock Lesnar is a legitimate shoot fighter and known for throwing people around a lot. As of late he became more known for doing, like, six suplexes and one F5 and then gently caress-off into the sunset. But hey, it's Brock Lesnar.

1v1 Regular vs. Bailey is one of the so-called Four Horsewomen and partially responsible for the Women's Revolution in WWE. Her gimmick is she likes to smile, be wholesome and hug people.

3v3 Tornado Tag vs. Bullet Club All-Stars: The Bullet Club is one of the better known Factions in Wrestling right now. Its Founder and first leader was Prince Devitt, who became known as Finn Balor in WWE later on. He was succeeded in Leadership by AJ Styles who in turn abdicated to Kenny Omega when he left for WWE. Having these three in one team at one time is not likely to happen.

4v4 Elimination Tornado Tag vs. NJPW Great Four: In New Japan Pro Wrestling there are four major factions. First up the unaffiliated faces, for which Hiroshi Tanahashi functions as a representative. To oversimplify it, Tanahashi is NJPW's John Cena only he's universally beloved. Then there's Chaos, led by Kazuchika Okada who has multiple six star matches under his belt. Two of which he had with Kenny Omega, leader of the Bullet Club, another one of NJPW's factions. The Bullet Club, for the very most part, is composed of Gaijin i.e. foreigners to Japan. Finally, there's Los Ingobernables de Japon led by Tetsuya Naito. NJPW is very particular in its booking and the factions don't typically team up with one another.

You can still get in predictions for the entire show here if you want.
Right now there's no prizes or anything. In the past I used to gift the person a steam game of some value (usually 10 or 15 bucks) but steam gifts between different regions have gotten worse somehow and it might not work between certain price regions now so that's dead. So for the time being they are strictly for fun, I suppose.

Go,Team... er, KF? FK? Really need more people so we can make a proper acronym that doubles as our team name. Anyhoo, it's our first successful title defense! You know what that means! Time for me... to burst into song! How do I get this karaoke thing to work... *tinkering noises*...there we go. Now, *clears throat* let's do this! *begins to sing I May Fall but horribly off key and at earsplitting volume due to his mask malfunctioning*
