Hey wrestling fans!
Hey wrestling fans! Bret Gillan (designer of the Jobber Gimmick), Ian Williams (editor, designer of the Hardcore Gimmick) and myself have started a podcast focused on early 90s WCW PPVs. We’re starting with the Dangerous Alliance! This first episode covers Halloween Havoc 1991.
If you have 2 hours to spare to listen to some yammering about wrassles, we’d appreciate some listens and feedback. Thanks!
Here’s a nice example for how run-ins work! This video is already edited down to the relevant parts, Ron Edwards

So, Adrian Neville (muscle-y guy) (babyface) and Tyler Breeze (carwash pants) (heel) are wrestling for the NXT title (which Neville currently holds). Tyson Kidd (another heel) shows up (in WWWRPG terms, his player just narrates that he comes out to ringside, I’d say) and Neville kicks him in the face – this is just narration, fine. Kidd and Neville have a good amount of Heat, you can hear the crowd pop when he gets kicked!
Kidd waits until Neville goes up for a big aerial move, then interferes! When he pushes Neville off, you hear the bell ringing – that’s the DQ, Breeze is disqualified, and thus loses his chance at the title, cuz Kidd interfered “on his behalf”. Kidd and Neville brawl.
Then the vid cuts to Kidd and Breeze yelling at each other, where you hear Breeze yelling “what are you doing, I had him!” It devolves into a general melee, until Kidd and Breeze team up to start putting the boots to Neville, which is when Sami Zane (babyface) runs in (at this point, not using the Move, I think), and they restore the face/heel balance.
This match led to various combos of these four guys in tag and singles matches, and then a final “Fatal Fourway” match where they all competed for the title.

Who’s watching Night of Champions tomorrow? For such a terrible build, it’s a pretty great card, actually.

Looks like the Reigns/Rollins match is off, though. Apparently Reigns got emergency hernia surgery and is going to be out for a couple months.
Do I only feel like it’s been a rough year for injuries because I’m paying more attention these days, or has been a remarkably injurious year already?

Oh man. This is so great.

In WWWRPG terms, something like NXT would probably have a different +Real move to replace “Breaking Kayfabe” as a basic move. They let the fans “backstage” a lot, especially with the indie stars moving in – it’s all putting more eyes on the product, and there’s no real negative consequences (that I can imagine).
Maybe it’s more about staying in character in the moment or something like that.

Would anyone be interested in joining me and Epidiah Ravachol for a WWWRPG hangout-on-air tonite?
Would anyone be interested in joining me and Epidiah Ravachol for a WWWRPG hangout-on-air tonite? It’ll be the second session of the Journeyman’s Cup Tournament storyline that we kicked off for the Exhibition Game last week.
8pm EST, playtime about 2 hours, it will be archived for posterity.
Somehow we managed to get into a situation where I blocked out tonite to play, but everyone else had something come up last-minute!
