"READ ME FIRST"- a basic tutorial on the "whacked Out wrestling concept" for the newbies (although it could also help current wOwfedders know exactly what goes on)...
Okay, so the whacked Out wrestling federation has skyrocketed in the past week or two. In just the past five days, we have recieved many big things:
1) A permanent plug on www.wrestlecrap.com, possibly the most renowned wrestling humor site on the Internet
2) A sequel that has just started in another board entirely (trust me, Jared, it's going to start to get to the wOw stuff imminently...)
3) A deal with fellow wOw alum/wOwfed regular Prodroprez's planned website for more stuff to get the word out (Very cool).
These things together arguably have made wOwfed arguably the biggest synergy-based e-fed on the Internet today. As the head booker/writer of wOwfed for most of our existence, I can only say: It's amazing! We put out our first card in October of 2001, and I took control in February of 2002 with almost no advertisements! So you have to agree that in Internet terms, it's been a long time coming!
However, due to the amount of traffic from these that it's now safe to expect, I think it's a good idea to put the wOwfed basic ground rules up for our possible new readers to see.
But enough about that! So, you've decided to play with the big boys in e-wrestling, the whacked Out wrestling federation (wOwfed for short.)Well, our time out there has led us to fine-tune ourselves a bit more, so let's get the rules out there:
Rule 1) THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS...
I cannot stress this enough to the people coming in. Most of you who are interested in e-feds will likely know the main way e-feds run: namely, write a promo, possibly script out a match, best promo wins. Well, time for the culture shock here...
As I said, the main secret of wOwfed is: There is no Santa Claus- er, wrong secret.
Ours is that wOwfed basically always has been and always will be a 100% booked fed. Predestination is the name of the game here: If the people of wOw believe you're worthy of being pushed, you'll be pushed whether you have the promo skills of The Rock or the promo skills of, well, this guy...
Walks in nervously<br><br>Phox: *looks around*
Ca-can... Can somebody help me? I.. I went into the
restroom, and my bladder started tensing up in anticipation
for the sweet sweet urination I had planned, but..
but.. I couldn't.. I still can't.. I.. I.. *voice
cracks* *sobs* I CAN'T GET MY FLY UNDONE! Somebody's
gotta help me, it hurts! I gotta pee so bad and my
zipper it just wont... Oh god! *sobs* The zipper, and it
wont get undone and wahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhh!!!!! I just
cant do it. I can't.!! I tried, and I tried so hard I
just.. I dunno what's wrong I just can't get my fly
undone! *collapses, sobbing*<br><br>*crowd gets silent*
The reason for this is the fact that wOw doesn't consider ourselves the typical e-fed. In fact, we rarely like to call ourselves that, preferring the term "ongoing wrestling fiction series." The story that we the bookers put out is the most important force here, and every show, every angle, every promo, every news tidbit in dubohdub.com is all dedicated to putting on a great story as a whole. You will not find a "Kane was burned in a fire but wasn't really burned and was kept in an insane asylum but one day he wasn't and went to college where he became a big man on campus and partied and killed a classmate who then had Triple H drop everything as a privileged blueblood in Connecticut to go to the funeral and have sex with their corpse. Oh, and he also learned dentistry."
Due to the intense nature of this story, there is bound to be some problems with how it will work. If you put out a promo on someone in wOw that would get you a sure-fire win in any other e-fed, there's a good chance you'd still end up doing the J-O-B in wOwfed. Or not even be on the next card at all. In extreme cases, your character may even be taken over by the booking team and retooled, revamped, or just plain changed for the purpose of pushing it into the story as a whole. This is not meant as a diss against you personally, it's just meant to make sure that you're getting the best pure read in e-wrestling today.
Do these things mean that you won't get pushed? NOT AT ALL. Your good promos, good attitude about these things, and other things like that can and will lead to being pushed in wOw. Having a bad attitude about minor gimmick changes *cough3/4oftheTrekkiescough* or refusing angles that are necessary for the story will only lead to problems later on (and if you don't think so- we have one character whose sole purpose is to fight and lose in Anal Explosion matches.)
If I haven't scared you off by telling it like it is here, welcome aboard! Just put a profile in a separate thread in this folder (or Armageddon Championship Wrestling, our official developmental federation), and let's go with it!
