Played my first 2 episodes this weekend as creative. Had some great spots that made us all laugh. Including a hardcore match starting in a locker room during an segment where I had a Clown Gimmick lacing up his boots and the Hardcore come in to give him a piece of his mind before they wrestled. But instead of a piece of his mind, he hit him in the face with a wrench and started the match as a hardcore match!
Had another spot where I had my corrupt NPW champion and his goons power bomb a NPW through a table off the entrance ramp before his match started and his opponent (a jobber player) ran in to attack the NPW as well but botched his run in, so the Champ and his goons put him through a table too and the match started with them both laid out.
It was a big hit and we will be playing again for sure.
got this at Dreamation and can’t wait to play!
We played with 5 of us and 2 of them have never really watched wrestling and they still loved it.
Just a quick recap of the first 2 episodes. First off, this was my first time leading an rpg game so it was trial and error for me.
We had a Jobber player named Serpiente De Liga “Garter Snake” who wore a luchador mask and made a snake hissing thing with his hand in promos.
A Hardcore player named Derrick Rigger, who was an oil rigger guy from Alberta Canada who always carried a wrench and started matches by juicing himself before he even got to the ring.
A Gloden Boy player named Philipi Rodrigues who came down to the ring with 2 hot girls and a midget holding a fan that blew his characters long golden hair all over the place like he was on a beach or in a music video.
And we had a Clown player named Rob “The Plumber” who looked like a red headed Mario, wore short jean shorts, work boots, gloves and carried a toilet seat to the ring.
So I started the first episode with all 4 players in a lower developmental league called Superdope Wrestling Association. This was going to be their characters last night in the company as they all 4 were now signed to the big promotion called WTF (Wrestling Tapout Federation – yes I stole the name form Southpark) So they were booked into matches vs. each other. Derrick Rigger vs. Rob the plumber and Philipi vs. The Garter Snake. During Philipi vs The gartner snake a NPW jobber called The Jabrony (a guy who dresses up like a my little pony brony) ran in and attacked the garter snake and made him lose the match. The Jabrony was mad that his former best friend and tag team partner, the garter snake was getting called to the big leagues and he wasn’t. He went on to say he carried the snake through out his Superdope Wrestling career and that he was the one who should be called up to the WTF. it left some bad taste in the Snake’s mouth.
the second match is where the hardcore Derrick Rigger entered the dressing room of Rob the plumber and hit him in the face with a wrench to start the match as a hardcore match. Not going to get into details but these guys pumbled each other from start to finish where Derrick was booked to win.
After some promos and commercials the owner of the WTF, Mr. McMillions, came out to a shocked crowd as he has never showed up to his developmental league. he was there to announce a new WTF belt being introduced tonight on Superdope Wrestling called the World Sacko Title. A belt with a picture of a bulls nut sack on it, for the biggest loser in the company. A belt where the loser of the title match keeps the belt and the only way to get rid of it, is to win a match where it is on the line! Mr. McMillions announces that the four wrestlers will be in a tag team match and the one who gets pinned will be the first ever Sack champion. The Jabrony comes out with another disgruntled employee named Brix and they demand to be in the match. Mr. McMillions agrees and makes it a triple tag team match. But the only way teh Jabrony or Brix get a contract is if they are pinned and get the title or the are the ones doing the pinning. It’s The snake, Brix and Derrick Rigger vs. The Jabrony, Philipi and Rob the Plumber.
Philipi comes out and is ashamed to be booked in this match for a crappy title and teamed with a guy wearing a my little pony costume and a guy in short shorts carrying a toilet seat who claims to be a plumber. Early on in the match when the Plumber goes to tag Philipi, Philipi refuses to tag and says he’s leaving the ring cause if he’s not in the match, then he can’t be pinned. The match continues with The Jabrony eventually getting pinned by his buddy The Garter Snake and claiming the new Sacko Title.
The second episode starts in WTF with the newly crowned world champion Evan “freakin” Heaven, Mr. McMillions, GM Jack Tummy and a couple goons coming out to celebrate Evan’s win over Fan Favorite Tony Surrey. Before the ceremony gets underway, My buddy Trent who is playing Derrick Rigger hits his music through his smart phone to inform us all that he is interfering this segment and interrupting the new champion. He rolls an 11 on his promo and demands a title match. Evan is furious, wondering who this schmuck is and grants him the match. Mr. McMillions announces that before that match they are having a Sacko tournament for the number one contender to face the Jabrony at the upcoming PPV called WICKEDFEST with the loser of each bracket moving on. Derrick Rigger comes out for his first match in the sacko tourney and is attacked by Evan “freakin” Heaven and his goons and is power bombed through a table at the start of the ramp. When The Garter Snake comes to attack Derrick Rigger as well to take advantage, he botches and Evan and his goons put him through a table as well. The bell rings with both players laid out. Long story short, as I have to get going here, The garter Snake loses both matches and is the number one contender for the Sacko. Philipi leaves in the middle of a match again to complete his heal turn. Rob the Plumber is in limbo and Derrick Rigger gets his ass handed to him in a no contest vs. Evan “freakin” Heaven as his goons came in and stomped his ass.
A championship you win when you lose? Someone call Dixie Carter!
Sounds great! It’s awesome that this was your first time running a game.
Yeah I’ve played D&D and M.E.R.P. back in the day but never ran a campaign. I usually stick to strategy board games. …Until I saw your game. Now I’m hooked. 🙂
