In case you’re ever worried that your wrestler’s entrance is too over the top…don’t.

I’m definitely going to need to watch this as research for non-American WWWRPG material.

Took me a second to dig, the actual video is available here (scroll to the bottom of the page) and you need to make an account with this site to access it: http://wrestletalk.tv/bwc/on_demand.php

This game is on my to play list.  If any of you are running or are simply interested in meeting other gamers, please post on my original post.

I have an idea.  

The intent of this post is to get people interested in tabletop gaming in touch with people who are gaming.  In the spot below write down if you are looking to learn how to play, if so what systems if you have some in mind, and what systems you do have knowledge of.

Example:

My name is Matthew Bannock.  I run Fate, and FAE games as well as several rules light games of my own design.  

I am interested in learning World Wide Wrestling, Monster of The Week, and Primetime Adventures.

I’ll be watching Wrestlemania next weekend as per my contractual wrestling-fan-with-the-WWE Network obligation. I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Anyway, anyone in the Chicago area is welcome to come over and make an event of it, if you want!

So, status update (I’ll move these updastes to actual play once Gimmicks are picked):

I have four signees and now I’m awaiting to see which Gimmicks they will pick.

The Setting I’m using:

Due to popular demand and a growing roster of capable women wrestlers, The WWW (World Wide Wrestling) recently made a bold move: A gender roster split.

While it’s still technically the WWW Women’s division, the Women now has the autonomy to run their own shows, starting with a taped 1 hour show on Saturday Nights (the mainstream WWW show is on live on Mondays and the Women show is taped infront of a live audience prior to that. Think of what the WWF used to do with Smackdown, where they taped it prior to a live RAW).

Tina Tahini, former co-head booker of WWW now is the head booker of this project, with full authority to push and de-push talent as the need arises. On screen, she is the host/commentator/interviewer, putting her self in easy reach and viewing angle to direct things while the show is in commercial.

—–

So, basically, it’s a combination of both A and B (see my previous update).

The show will have it’s own ideas and freshness… but since it’s still WWW, it’ll use some of the traditional gimmicks as well. For example, I’m considering the first few episodes consisting of World Wide Wrestling’s first ever All-Women Journeyman Tournament. I also plan, in the future, to have a Regal Wrangle as well (I’m subtitling it: The world’s largest catfight!).

For the moment, not worried about Championships. They’ll come when they come and when needed, I’ll make something up on the fly. For now, I aim to establish a setting that the other players can shape, while also establishing them.

Thoughts?

So far I have only one signee, but it’s to be expected. Sometimes pbp recruiting can be snail slow.

Anywho, I’m in the midst of fed building and want some input on something. As you know, the game I’m starting is woman wrestling. However, which aspect of women wrestling should I portray?

A. An all woman fed (Shimmer, GLOW, etc)

B. A woman’s division in a male dominated fed (Diva’s, TNA Knockouts)

I was leaning towards A, but thinking and sleeping on it, B is rife with potential backstage politics, both with Gender equality AND a more intense fight for the spotlight (A WWE style of booking would be lucky to have TWO women matches :p)

Thoughts?
