Pro-Wrestling Takedown Federation (W.T.F.) - Seeking Diva's

[BlackestKnight]

Approved Wrestler Roster

OOC Thread

WTF indeed, I've been thinking a lot about wrestling as of late,  ever since hearing about the results from last sunday's main event show and watching the monday night raw following Summer Slam. I thought a professional wrestling game might be something worth looking into. Well, even before then I was following the general storyline but I didn't really become invested until sunday night's SWERVE. I really like what WWE is doing right now with this McMahon/Bryan angle.

CM punk is good in anything he's in, the tag team division is interesting again thanks to the prime time players, who I always felt were underrated and in need of facetime with the proper push and finally Superman is away which means the product will improve with Bryan as the headliner.

There's so much talent right now in wrestling it's insane.  Shout-outs to husky harris for bringing the ring psychology back into wrestling, I love his new gimmick.

My faith in professional wrestling hath returned. Call it a second coming miracle resurrection.

I have this idea of a pro-wrestling mega-conglomerate largely based on the WWE, but it's more of a parody, with its own sort of divergent origin story founded by an eccentric texas billionaire. In this universe, everything would remain similar in terms of developments except that there would be no shawn michaels, the rock, john cena or undertaker, etc.

Instead there would be close approximate expies of the superstars, all submitted characters would have to be originals, however I wouldn't mind if someone were to use a face claim of a lesser known star like a dean ambrose or an NXT talent, Randy Orton would be too much.

I'll probably get around to structuring the design for the game either tomorrow or sometime later this week, but I'm interested in hearing feedback from people about what kind of ideas/superstars  they have in mind.  Heels are encouraged as well as Divas!

Yesterday's show was the first time I can actually say that I enjoyed watching wrestling in a LONG time. I rarely watch wrestling nowadays, since I find the new characters, storylines, and drama to be kinda lame. But after watching RAW yesterday, I'm actually really excited to see what happens next!

I do enjoy the WWE games though. I only buy one every few years (SvR 2006, SvR 2010, and WWE13 are the ones I own right now), but I'm super hyped for 2k14! When I heard Goldberg was going to be in it, I flipped out. Goldberg! Goldberg!!! Goldberg!!!!! *Squeals*

Anyways... if this RP is going to be strictly based off of WWE, then I might bring one of my reoccurring CaW from the video games into play. I never used her in a RP before, but it might be interesting to bring her into a written form.

Goldberg?



You mean him? He's been back for awhile.  Though he isn't as good as he use to be.

[Carlissa]

And less entertaining too.

[BlackestKnight]

And more boring too.

He's not bad when he sticks to his backstage bully persona, anything else he should stay away from, he's not interesting enough to carry a main event special. His lackluster feud with Cena proved that, midcard hell maybe?  I can see him being a placeholder challenger for the U.S. champion belt or something but they shouldn't give him anything above a world heavyweight belt at best. Speaking of belts, I haven't decided on the look or proper  title of belts I'll be using  for this game. I'm thinking about going for an animal motif here..... Eagle motif for the cruiserweight division championship, Bull for the Intercontinental Championship , gemini for the tag division belts,  A fox for the Vixen's division, Lion for the world heavyweight division,  and Dragon for the WTF Main Belt.

[Carlissa]

Personally, I think he has potential if the writers really want him to be big star. Look at Daniel Bryan for example. When he was first introduced he was far from being main event worthy, even less so than Ryback. And look at him now, winning the WWE championship only to have it taken away from him, leading to a story arc that has the potential to be on of the best we've seen in a while. Anything is possible.

For the belts... Well, in my opinion, it would be a good idea to keep them more generic like the ones in use today. Not necessarily because they are better than a motif theme, but because it leaves more room for personal customization. Some of the most memorable belts in the history of the WWE were customized by the superstars that had them (Stone-Cold's Smoking Skull, John Cena's spinning belt, ect.). Now I'm not saying that the belt should change appearance every time it changes hands (unless you like that idea), but changing the belts' appearances every once in a while to match the champion's personality would make the title belts a little more interesting themselves.

At least I think so.

I think you have a point there...I'll leave the main event and probably the Vixen's belt open to customization, all the other belts will keep the animal themes.

When you say you picture the company being based on WWE, but more of a parody, what do you mean?

Also, would we be only role playing the kayfabe part and treating it as though it were real and our characters really were larger than life, or is this a true to life wresting rp, where we also play the character off camera and out of character interactions?

[Hogan]

Colour my championship-belt interested.

With a name like WTF, it's hard to be 100% completely serious. The fans are aware of this, hence why "WTF" is a favorite chant whenever something inexplicable happens in the ring.

It's an in-joke obviously. If anything I was thinking something along the lines of a satire off the WWE, kinda taken up a notch or two in certain areas(like the WWE's corny anti-bullying public relations campaign, we could parody that a bit, and some of the  antics and politics going on in the WWE on camera and off. Jack swagger's marijuana arrest, darren young's recent coming out of the closet etc) but still present a mostly serious wrestling product, I was thinking just a few jabs or two at the WWE and other wrestling communities.

Whether you want to stick to kayfabe part time or all the time is entirely up to you, you're your own wrestler. I can't tell you how  to conduct yourself away from the cameras.

[RubySlippers]

I had an idea for a Diva more old school though won't dress like a bimbo and would be the grand daughter of some seriously big name, I'm thinking Crusher Lisowski aka The Crusher out of Wisconsin. Her name: Lady Crusher Lisowski.

An older school sort of wrestler focusing on technique and basic moves not flashy, likely will see Diva's as bimbos and tramps unless they "dress appropriately". I picture her coming from Japan where she had a good career so far and brought in due to her grandfather and she looks good even covered up more than modern Diva's.

[xPeachyPuff]

I would love to play a DIVA! Absolutely love WWE and wrestling and shizz, so I'm pretty much on board. I know what happened at Summer Slam, but I do need to catch up and actually watch it, haha.

So yeah, sign me up and I'll go look around for some inspiration. I'm thinking of something AJ Lee like, as in small, under-dog typish who's not afraid to use what's needed to get where she wants to be. But at the same time, less crazy :P We'll see.

[InnocentSynn]

well I've been doing wrestling related RP for ten years and I've always enjoyed it, so count me in....already got a character in mind with a hell of a history on the e-fed circuit

[Carlissa]

eFed? Isn't hat some kind of fantasy wrestling or something?

[InnocentSynn]

depending on where you go, it's actually alot like a large group RP here that's completely focused on wrestling.  The ones I spent the most time on, you would write a post and anyone could follow it up if they wanted.  Only problem I ever had with it was that you had to allow them to take control of your character a bit and it sometimes led to a no-selling situation if they didn't pay attention.

so yes, in a nutshell it was fantasy wrestling lol

[Carlissa]

So it isn't a single structured society of RPers, but rather a term or play style that describes a way of roleplaying?

[InnocentSynn]

yes, though from there there are actually sub-categories that define the different styles used by the various e-feds......there's a lot of them and I'm not the best at explaining them, but if you want I can give it a go.

[Carlissa]

Umm... I mean, I guess you can. It might be a little off topic though...

But then again, BlakestKnight has been casterated, so I'm not sure when he'll be un-casterated and we can start the RP, so maybe it would help... keep... the interest thread alive?... I guess?

Speaking of which, is this RP still happening?

[InnocentSynn]

well if he doesn't do it, I'll be happy to head up something like it so one way or another, it can happen.

[BlackestKnight]

Everyone still on board?

[RubySlippers]

Yes.

[Carlissa]

Of course.

[BlackestKnight]

I got around to posting a create-a-wrestler sheet for those who are interested in fleshing out their characters a bit more. I'll probably get around to detailing the possible stables/cliques sometime tonight or tomorrow as well as specifics about the organization and the televised shows.

[xPeachyPuff]

I'm totally still in! (: Gonna look into creating a wrestler now.

I can help you if you're still undecided about the direction of your character. Abigail, I like her so far. Well she's from England, I'm sure there's some things you can relate that to your character background. Looking over your superstar , she kinda reminds me of a brit pop version of Aj Lee. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

Played by: Rex Pacis
Stage Name: Felix "Deathproof" Coronel
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Height: 6'0
Weight: 220
Hometown: New York, New York
Alignment: Tweener
Gimmick: Felix can be a man of few words in a world run by them, he prefers to talk in the ring...fists to face. Felix's nickname has much to do with his in-ring style. Ruthless, smash-mouthed, technical, fury Felix is a wrestler's wrestler with a special talent for inflicting pain on both himself and more importantly his opponents. Coronel is best known for being pound for pound one of the toughest men on the roster, able to brush off a beating and see through the blood and tears long enough to hit that critical move. It is this tenacity, wreckless abandon, and testicular fortitude that has lead to many calling Felix a "Deadman walking". While most men seek championships and glory Felix is only after one thing...the next challenge.   

Style: Hybrid Tank
Signature Move(s): To The Three Boroughs (Chimera-Plex), Fujiwara Armbar, Buenas Noches! (Vertabreaker), Now You See Us...(Burning Hammer)
Trademark Taunt: "I can wrestle too!" (Usually after the TTTB, a nice chain wrestling display or a tricky counter.) "A dormir!" (When setting up for a big move.) "What was that? Your sister's suplex?" (When recovering from an opponent's move)

Hope it's ok. Was gonna go for a technician but since that seems to be filling up I tried to swerve him into more of a brawler. Do I get brownie points for the "testicular fortitude" name drop? xP

Am willing to change up the armbar and Chimera-plex since B-man did beat me to the armbar and triple move combo....but I really love that Chimera-plex.

Update
-OOC discussion topic added
-Character Roster topic added

You might want to check the top of the first page for the links to both of which or browse under NC: Human- Freeform Small Groups



Abigail Scarlett and Felix "Deathproof" Coronel are approved.  If you want to establish character relationships and discuss feuds, story angles or potential stables, you're free to do so. I think a central plot is in order. I'm still a little cloudy about the details of that, but I'm always open to ideas and I'm willing to work with everyone.

[BlackestKnight]

Since I notice we got a few british characters and they're both heels , I'm thinking about doing a british invasion story arc with The King holding the championship strap and Abigail holding down the womens division championship. Looking over his character sheet, I quite like the idea of a british empire staple.  I still need an all american face for this angle to contrast with the King.  My character could do it but I'd rather put someone else on. My guy is pretty much the Rock in-universe, I need a Cena or Daniel Bryan. A rising superstar the likes of Cody Rhodes would also be good for this angle. I like the idea a rookie champion. A somewhat smaller underdog type of guy.

I have a conceptual idea for this stable...

The Royal Flush House

"The House Always Wins"

King -  King, WTF Champion
Queen - Abigail, Diva's divison champion
Jack - can be NPC, holds the intercontinental gold
Ace - can be NPC, tag team champions
Joker - can be NPC tag team champions

[xPeachyPuff]

Mwahahaha, The British will prevail and wipe out all you other contestants who like to play 'Wrestler'! No one can compair to us so get used to being losers! >D

Age: 23
Sex: female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 108 lbs
Hometown: Beijing, China
Alignment: Face
Gimmick: Angel is a Chinese beauty, good-hearted, cute and lovable - but with an edge. She tends to get in over her head. With her background of acrobatics, flexibility and even stunts for Chinese cinema, she is probably one of the best (if not the best) female sellers in the business. She can take a lot of punishment, and she makes it look very real. She does not shy back from ladder or cage matches, she even might fight a male wrestler. She talks with a Chinese accent, but the camera loves her.

Signature Move(s): Eat Defeat, Happy Ending Octopus, 5-Star Frog Splash, Figure-four leglock (around the ringpost or ladder), roundhouse kick, missile dropkick

Gimmick: Victor's gimmick is an aggressive dominator, established with high impact moves and short matches. Labeled as 'The fastest big guy in the game,' Victor won over early crowds with his impressive displays of athleticism and occasional dry wit. His in-ring ferocity, after match attacks and general unsportsman like behaviour quickly saw a heel turn.

His other taunt is a reference to the Classic Roman origins to his nickname 'Imperator.' Victor extends a fist with his thumb pointing out sideways before tilting his thumb down.

I should specify, I'm not looking for a face champion right at this moment , rather I'm looking for someone who can become champion down the road but for whatever reason hasn't reached that level yet. So your character would not be a champion at all , but a contender most likely. Other than that, welcome to the game. Right now in the story, the championship belt is vacant again, there is no current owner, but there are a lot of people vying for that.

All three characters are approved.

Played by: Countdown0

Stage Name: David Morrow

Age: 26

Sex: Male

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 232 lbs

Hometown: Edmonton, Albetra, Canada

Alignment: Face

Gimmick: David Morrow is possibly the ultimate hardcore wrestler to ever make it onto tv. Starting his career in the independent circuit, his fame began to grow when youtube videos of his matches became viral, especially in the wrestling community, where he was often known as 'that crazy bastard'. His combination of charisma, toughness, and ridiculously insane crap he does in his matches, earned him a spot in the big leagues. His debut saw himself and his opponents beating each other with chairs, kendo sticks, bags of tacks, a tire, a roll of barbed wire, and a steel toed boot, among other miscellaneous objects. Since then, the 'this is awesome' chant has followed him everywhere he goes, since the management generally makes his matches no-DQ, knowing that it will sell tickets and PPV buys.

Style: Mostly a Combination of Hardcore and Brawling

Signature Move(s): Spinebuster, Heel Hook Submission, Superplex to outside of Ring, Chair Dropkick, Missile Drop Kick, Body Splash (often from turnbuckle to announce table)

Finisher: Whiplash ===> Running or jumping start into a flip over the opponents head, grasping the head, and dragging it down to the ground with the momentum of the flip. David obviously protects his own head. Can be used to put an opponent through tables, or to take them off of a ledge (such as the stage). Can be done jumping as well as running. Usually performed as an opponent is rising to their feet.

Trademark Taunt: "Do you want it?" to the fans, usually when handling a weapon, or about to set something on fire, or superplexing someone from a high height... the answer is always a loud cheer. "Stop pretending to hit me and hit me!" => When his opponents have him hurt, trying to antagonize him, since he doesn't get intimidated.

Think of him as a mix between Mick Foley and the Rock. Very Charismatic and with lots of talent, but completely off his rocker when he's actually in the ring.

Kaya, your character looks awesome but you mentioned in your Taunt section about Jerry Lawler. I thought Knight said somewhere that the WWE and it's superstars didn't exist in this world or whatever.

And Countdown, your pictures not working xD

Everyone's characters look awesome ^_^

Stage Name: David Morrow

Age: 26

Sex: Male

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 232 lbs

Hometown: Edmonton, Albetra, Canada

Alignment: Face

Gimmick: David Morrow is possibly the ultimate hardcore wrestler to ever make it onto tv. Starting his career in the independent circuit, his fame began to grow when youtube videos of his matches became viral, especially in the wrestling community, where he was often known as 'that crazy bastard'. His combination of charisma, toughness, and ridiculously insane crap he does in his matches, earned him a spot in the big leagues. His debut saw himself and his opponents beating each other with chairs, kendo sticks, bags of tacks, a tire, a roll of barbed wire, and a steel toed boot, among other miscellaneous objects. Since then, the 'this is awesome' chant has followed him everywhere he goes, since the management generally makes his matches no-DQ, knowing that it will sell tickets and PPV buys.

Style: Mostly a Combination of Hardcore and Brawling

Signature Move(s): Spinebuster, Heel Hook Submission, Superplex to outside of Ring, Chair Dropkick, Missile Drop Kick, Body Splash (often from turnbuckle to announce table)

Trademark Taunt: "Do you want it?" to the fans, usually when handling a weapon, or about to set something on fire, or superplexing someone from a high height... the answer is always a loud cheer.

Any ideas then? I'm open to changing him, as long as its not something that ruins the base idea of the character.

Everything looks good but I agree. Something seems to be missing...

Still very much intersted, I was just out of circulation for a bit.
What do you  guys still need?

[Batman4560]

We can always use another British guy for our faction.

[Rex Pacis]

Countdown, my opinion is your character is missing a legitimate finisher.

I think spine busters are usually set up but you could go with it and while you could go with the heel hook I think it would be weird to have a submission be a hardcore brawler's finisher. A monstrous missile dropkick could work too like Daniel Bryan's and your body splash has no stars...if you catch my drift. xD The chair and super-plex seem too gimmicky to me to be counted as finishers. Other than that I think David is good to go.

I was thinking also, Knight, is it okay if we separate our moves into a finisher and signature section, like Zenpai? I was thinking maybe two finishers and four signatures? Something along the lines of the Smackdown games. Two and two could work too.

[Countdown0]

Hmm... that's true. I don't have a real finisher... >.<

There, now that problem is solved :D

[BlackestKnight]

Any ideas then? I'm open to changing him, as long as its not something that ruins the base idea of the character.

I think I know what it is, your guy is just kinda dry, you know what I mean? Even if you can wrestle your ass off, you need a trademark look to establish your character.

I'm fine with the hardcore gimmick, it's just that I'm not sold on the presentation. You're missing the superstar flair.


Note: I probably won't accept another generic badass type character unless they're quirky in some way.

Yes.

I think most of our characters can be compared to particular wrestlers either as direct inspiration or fitting the archtype/trope. This character is obviously Mick Foley, he's described to match the part but he doesn't look the part.

[Laughing Hyena]

I should specify, I'm not looking for a face champion right at this moment , rather I'm looking for someone who can become champion down the road but for whatever reason hasn't reached that level yet. So your character would not be a champion at all , but a contender most likely. Other than that, welcome to the game. Right now in the story, the championship belt is vacant again, there is no current owner, but there are a lot of people vying for that.

All three characters are approved.

Whoops. I'll adjust accordingly.

[Primarch]

Not to make the game too complex or anything but should there be a cap on the stats? or some means of deciding how many points each character has to distribute? Because right now there's nothing and its mostly leading to slowly rising increments and its already gotten to the point where "The World's Most Dangerous Man" whom is a passing the torch former Champion has the second highest total stats.

Stats have no actual bearing in game aside from mere psychological bragging points, it's just there to establish the aptitudes of a given character, but even then if someone were the most overpowered wrestler in history it wouldn't amount to much if the fans don't receive your character. You would just end up being another shelton benjamin, an uber athlete talent who couldn't get over with the crowd because he's doesn't have the "It" factor of a superstar. If anything, how interesting your gimmick is and how well you can do promos will affect your placement. I don't care too much if people overcompensate with their characters abilities , but at the end of the day you have back it up with substance.

Fair enough.

[Batman4560]

Its funny you mention Shelton. I was just saying how I really liked him in the ring and I liked his promos.

[Laughing Hyena]

Any real life examples we wanna name here? I can name a few. ^_^

[Rex Pacis]

He was the gold standard. Nobody took a super kick like Shelton. :'(

I'm gonna throw Lance Storm out there....if I could be serious for a moment. Good stuff.

[Laughing Hyena]

Anyway I adjusted Pulse's numbers since they were a valid point and I have clarified the gimmick.
