Topic: Professional Wrestling Fandom Roleplaying Requests

[Le Immortelle]

Note: Currently interested in playing Chyna or Chris Jericho only.

Hello!

As some of you know I am [or was] a huge professional wrestling and that of WWF/WWE in particular as most of mainstream wrestling viewers like me tend to be. My appreciation for the sports entertainment/professional wrestling extends beyond the happenings on the screen and also on the actual workings of the industry beyond the kayfabe. Needless to say, this particular brand of celebrity or even fictional character roleplaying [Since, when kayfabe is not broken, can it even be considered a celebrity roleplay? And merely becomes another fandom!] has been an absolute favorite of mine over several years.

In fact, I started out with roleplaying/writing on wrestling e-federations containing original characters several years ago and that was my introduction to online world of roleplaying. This thread is meant to contain a list of professional wrestlers that I enjoy to roleplay along with other relevant details while second post contains actual plots. Every character posted in here is obviously open for being played by openly breaking the kayfabe, as well as while remaining 'in character' throughout the story or even branching into other genres such as fantasy, science fiction etc. Also, please note though characters are mentioned in can be paired list, that doesn't mean the pairing has to be one of a sexual kind as I am very much open for writing non-adult stories or even stories with a different slant to them.

So without much ado, here's list of characters first. I shall update with plots in second post as they come to me. If you wish to craft anything with any of these characters meanwhile, feel free to hit me up via PM or IM. I am always up for a good brainstorm! Kindly refrain from posting here as I would like to keep this thread clean.

Plot Seeds

Master & Slave
Seeking to Play: Chyna
Against: Miss Kitty
Genre: Romance, Drama

This is a femslash roleplay focusing on Attitude Era circa 1999 with potential for timeline exploration in post-attitude era. I think those two were fantastic characters back in the day and I loved them together. What if, during the time they were booked in the angle together the two actually ended up falling in love with each other? How it would have affected their prior relationships? The Kat/Stacy Carter could perceive Chyna/Joanie Laurer as a strong hero both on and off the screen as well and their onscreen Master & Slave relationship transitions into something off it as well? The story would be about the romance and how it blooms amongst the duo, adjusting to being in the public eye all the time, to the backstage politics and antics, the life on the road and maintaining a relationship over there amongst other things in WWF/E during late 90's and early 2000's primarily.


The Real Degenerate
Seeking to Play: Chyna
Against: Triple H
Genre: Kayfabe, Action, Comedy

I ran this game in past before it died, if you wish to read it, you can find old version here.

D-Generation X were pretty fun during their first ever run in the late 90's in my opinion and these two made a fantastic couple in my eyes due to just how unconventional the characters were written to be by the creative team. This is a story that does not break kayfabe and takes place in a universe where it's 'real'.

It's story is about how Hunter Hearst Helmsley, the prim and proper Connecticut Blue Blood decides to find himself in need of some extra muscle after a particularly important loss in the ring due to one or other reason. So he starts the hunt and who does he find? This foul mouthed, deviant woman in form of Chyna. She represents everything he hates, that is opposite of him and is wrong in his opinion on more levels than one, yet she's undeniably fantastic at what she does and is an asset worthy of having on your side.

It's a story about the two polar opposites and how Chyna goes on to make a Degenerate out of Triple H and sets him on path to becoming the dominant superstar that he goes on to become. This is intended to reflect the whole prankster, deviant ethos of early DX and of course substantial character development while focusing more on action outside the ring interspersed with happenings in the ring.


My Heart Has a Wish that You Would Not Go
Seeking to Play: Chyna
Against: Triple H
Genre: Romance, Drama

This story would focus on the lives of Joanie and Paul both in and out of the ring. The growing fame. The strain it puts on their relationship. Especially, the so many 'what if' routes we can go with it. How would he feel if she was becoming a bigger star than him? Maybe she does get into main event picture and is competing along with him. One of the potential routes is if she makes history being the first woman to win WWF Championship and perhaps embarking on a Hollywood career of her own?

Them being the golden couple would bring lot of attention to them, promoting the company, being ultra-popular etc. The roleplay shall be spread over several years and can even continue post-2001 AU wherein Chyna would have never left the WWF/E. Primary focus shall be on unusual working environment that a pro wrestling company is, examination of life as a celebrity and meditation on the same, the highs and lows of it and a theme of unrequited love, relationship tensions, bromance [yes, with a female xD] among other good stuff.


The Ivory Trade
Seeking to Play: Chyna
Against: Ivory [Right to Censor era]
Genre: Medieval Fantasy
Note: Can also be played as modern day version.

This is a more smut based idea than anything else. It takes place in a universe where Chyna is a ruthless warlord who has been plundering several lands. Burning, pillaging and raping anything that stands in the way with her ruthless army. Her name is feared across the lands and when she does destroy a particular nation, essentially obliterating their defenses and razing some key places in ground, they make a truce by agreeing to become part of her empire. The nation itself is a small one, rich in resources and extremely conservative. Seeing the Warrior Queen and her troops as nothing more than dumb barbarians.

But the capital has a Priestess the most revered of them all whose prophecies are followed religiously, Ivory who has been crying afoul of the ruthless warlord. Even to the point of canvassing against her, staging protests, calling her out in public and when during her victory procession is taking place she even tries to foil it all by using a small band of mercenaries that are promptly assassinated by Chyna and her company. Now Chyna puts one crucial condition on the table for the deal with the King [Ha, what if it's a cowardly Stevie Richards?!] that if he does want something to be left of his people and himself, he better hand the priestess to her.

The king, desperate to get out of the fix, consents and much to her horror, shock and dismay Ivory is handed over to Chyna and becomes her slave, becoming a part of her harem where she will be raped, abused and fucked well and proper to finally break her absolutely as Chyna shall cause her to submit to her. This shall contain some twisted mindgames along with public humiliation, extreme torture and BDSM.


The Dream Date
Seeking to Play: Chyna
Against: OC
Genre: Modern Day, Romance

This story is a pretty cliched one, revolving around a fan who wins a dream date with his favorite WWF/E Diva when he wins a contest where top prize is an entire day with none other than The Ninth Wonder of the World. He finally has had his dream come true as he gets an opportunity to glance at the person behind what they see on TV. Typical elements of celebrity romance, character development etc. Quite an open ended plot here that is malleable in many ways.

Note: This can even be moved forth to take place during NJPW era wherein the lucky fan wins an all expense paid trip to Japan. That, in turn opens up even more possibilities for us to play around with.


Voices in My Head
Seeking to Play: Randy Orton
Against: Anyone you wish
Genre: Psychological Thriller

Randy Orton has had a rather 'colorful' life outside the ring to put it mildly, as a lot of his antics have been notorious to the point that some of the more attention seeking ex employees of the WWE like Rochelle labeling him as a positive psychopath. Now I don't know whether that holds any credence or not, but this game aims to explore that. It's essentially about the point wherein the line between the kayfabe and reality begins to blur.

This shall have Randy Orton as a young man. The cocky third generation star with severe psychological issues which he's unaware of. When he's given the 'voices'/Apex Predator gimmick, reality around him begins to crumble as he begins to believe himself to be the character he's portraying on the screen and so it culminates into one act of depravity after another. This is constructed as a thriller and can go countless ways, all of which is for me and my potential partner to plot out.


Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies!
Seeking to Play: Chyna
Against: The Rock
Genre: Action, Black Comedy

I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw on IMDB few months back that there's an actual film of that name with that theme. Right after, I ended up watching an old MAD TV skit with Chyna which made me think of this.

This story has Chyna & The Rock both working traveling through a town while moving towards a fan convention when their car breaks down somewhere deep in the countryside. Stranded in a desolate town with sparse population, they look up a garage only to discover the horror that the entire town is right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse that's been consuming the surrounding regions in the wake of a government facility being taken over as a result of experiments to create superhumans gone wrong. With things going haywire and no other way of getting out, there's only one option.

To fight it out or simply perish.

Another alternative spin that could be put on this would consist of both of them shooting a zombie apocalypse film together for WWE Productions, only to find out that the small town where they are making this movie, zombies do exist and are actually more intelligent than just mindless drones, systematically increasing their population and able to think, plan, adapt. Slowly, they are converting the film crew, starting with extras portraying zombies on screen, prompting Rock and Chyna to team up and kick some serious ass together in craziest possible fashion.
