What’s your favorite stupid thing about wrestling? A terrible gimmick, a silly match stipulation, a ridiculous storyline?

Wrestling is dumb, which is why it’s great. This thread is about dumb stuff that makes you smile.

I’ll start! One of my favorite dumb things is “entrance music distracts a guy so he gets rolled up for the pin.” It’s so dumb! Aren’t these trained professionals able to ignore loud noises while they’re trying to wrestle? But it works every time!

What about you?

WWE Network is free this month, and it’s more than worth giving them your email just to watch this 2-hour show. (http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork)

I’m linking to a good writeup of the card, and honestly, there’s the potential for at LEAST 3 match-of-the-year candidates on this card.

Third Party Material & Licensing

Third Party Material & Licensing

Third Party Material & Licensing

I’ve gotten a couple requests about this, so here’s the official WWWRPG policy (until and unless I change it).

WWWRPG is a standard copyrighted work (under the laws of the US, etc). My policy for granting licenses and permissions is “ask me, I’ll probably say yes”.

If you want to share a Gimmick, custom Move or Promotion (or anything else, really): if you’re sharing it for free, go for it. I’d appreciate a link to the website somewhere in the material you share.

If you want to sell it, that’s fine too. I’ll ask you to put the WWWRPG logo and my website on it – ask me, I’ll provide the logo.

If you want to create a larger supplementary work (like a Lucha Libre supplement with some new Moves and Gimmicks and writeups about how to do a great Luchadore game), that’s awesome. I ask that you not reprint the basic Moves and Gimmicks, and that you put the logo & website on it, whether it’s for free or a sale thing.

If you want to pitch me on a supplementary work to be published as a part of my World Wide Wrestling RPG line (in the same visual style, etc), we can talk about it. I’m open to publishing third-party work through ndp design but we’d need to work out terms based on the project in question.

Any questions? Make sense?

So this happened in the middle of the main event at the show I went to last night.

So this happened in the middle of the main event at the show I went to last night. It was neat cuz the match itself was pretty serious, but did have some humor to it, and this put a break in the middle of it without killing the crowd. Also, the guy in the beanie is ACH, who I’ve been wanting to see for a long time and is very, very good.

(The MC is Sugar Dunkerton aka Suge D, who I first saw at the first Chikara show I ever went to and is just fun as hell to watch)

It’s worth going out of your way to listen to Stone Cold’s interview with Triple H (or watching it if you have the WWE Network).

Very specific stuff about the difficulties of booking when Kayfabe is dead, how improv and changing things on the fly is one of the beautiful things about wrestling, and what NXT is all about (and you can hear the obvious love Hunter has for NXT).

I mean, you never know what’s a work or whatever, but to my ear it’s pretty straight-up and really, really interesting.
