YOU are the handler, it is your job to manage and direct the career of your character. You must create, role-play and make the life of this wrestler interesting. It is a good idea to give your real name or your "net alias" instead of your E-fed wrestler's name or people will begin to refer to you as your wrestler. This has happened to me, as people call me "HK" which is short for HardKore. You should also give your permanent email address and Instant message names to your "prez" so he can contact you. The other fed members would probably like to know YOU and not your wrestler as well. The way you present your self and your character will decide how popular you become in your e-fed career. It's good to learn from other E-wrestling sites such as RoughKut.com and to learn from the experienced people in your fed. You'll never know all there is to know, so never go in any fed acting like an ass. And NEVER go in a fed thinking you can't be defeated. It's all in fun, so keep it that way.
This is where you will decide what wrestler you will use in the e-fed of your choice. I will only cover "original wrestlers" because I know nothing about real wrestler feds. Think of a name, make it jazzy or "cool" but make sure it's interesting and creative or you'll find yourself the butt of fed jokes. Don't dabble in "real" wrestler's monikers. Don't use "The Stunner" Steve Houston, that sounds like "Stone Cold" Steve austin don't it? You'd be whored in a serious e-fed using names like that. And it kind of shows how new you are to Ewrestling by using such a name. Let's come up with a name right now;
GIMMICK
Now you have your
character all mapped out in your head, eh? Guess what? You have to give him a
gimmick! What's a gimmick you say? It's like a character's act. It's like an
angle but dedicated to a certain star. Let's take the Undertaker, he had one of
the best if not THE best gimmicks in pro-wrestling until he he gained 200
pounds and put on a head bandana riding a motorcycle. He was dead, his persona
was evil, he could fly! He had supernatural powers, he could "walk the top
rope" he could not be hurt! Now that is a gimmick and a kick ass gimmick ta
boot!
If you choose not to use a particular gimmick your character will be boring, it's a given. Stone cold has a gimmick, The Rock has a gimmick (even though it's hard to tell) Austin's gimmick is a red-neck cursin' ragin' texan who doesn't take crap from anyone- including his boss. He doesn't trust "nobody" and drinks beer as a past-time. The Rock's gimmick is a cocky flashy sort of hard-ass who won't admit his flaws and tries to prove he has none. His gimmick is: He's a true champion and everything a champion should be. The people's champ. Blah Blah Blah...
Let's go over a few more gimmicks so you can have an idea of what a gimmick is. There's the "Giant" gimmick, the "Dark" gimmick, the "cocky" gimmick, the "smartass" gimmick, the "wacky" gimmick and the "funny" gimmick.
HEAT DRAW or (Attitude)
Simple, are you more of
a "good guy" fan or "bad guy" fan? Or are you sorta neutral? Do you want to be
a wrestler that gets lots of boos or do you want to be the hero with all the
cheers? Let's see..
DESCRIPTION
Did you think it was over, you
thought it would be a snap? Nope, takes time to form a wrestler that you will
be happy with!
I will attempt to make a detailed chart so your wrestler can
be realistic as possible. That for the love of (insert your god) is the point
of this all, no?
Basics: Muscle weighs more than fat, the taller you
are the more heavy you are. If you're short and skinny, you'll weigh very
little. If you're huge like Paul Wight, he's not necessarily "fat" like people
say but he's almost 500 pounds! He's also 7 foot 4 inches. I believe Steve
Austin is 6'1" and like 243 pounds. A list of popular wrestlers will be below
this so you can see how weight and height AND muscle effect each other. You're
bound to know a few people off this list. Use this chart to decide what a short
mucle bound man would weigh or an average height wrestler would weigh, etc.

Next part is the best part, to me atleast. the physical
appearence, this is where your imagination can flourish! You can describe your
wrestler's hair color, length, style and the skin color, face shape, etc. You
can describe any distinct scars or tattoos ear piercings and everything! This
is where you make your wrestler YOURS! You want to remember to keep this
information handy so you wont look stupid describing a different person each
time. You also want to describe wrestling gear, this is what makes a wrestler
unique I guess. Being that all the wrestlers I know of always wear the same
style of wrestling gear. Some fed-heads (prez/s) will ask for this information
and some will expect it in your Role-plays (flashes). It's up to you how
detailed you want your wrestler to be. This is a part that I always founf fun
about e-feds and I hope you do too! I hope this chart was useful for you. Have
fun!
It's a good idea to come up with a reptois of moves and holds your wrestler uses as his signature:
You'll need to create a setup move and finisher as well.
| WRESTLER | SET UP MOVE (or Signature) | FINISHER |
| Mick Foley | Double Underhook DDT | Mandible Claw |
| Triple H | Knee lift / face buster | Pedigree |
| The Rock | Rock Bottom | People's Elbow |
| Stone Cold Steve Austin | abdomen Kick | Stunner |
| Wrestler | Signature Moves |
| The Rock | Float over DDT, Samoan drop, Rock Bottom, back drop |
| Kane | Chokeslam, Throat Chop (top rope), Tombstone piledriver |
| Chris Jericho | Mid-rope moonsault, Walls of Jericho, Missle Drop kick |
There is a list of wrestling moves and also a list of moves with pictures on the RoughKut.com homepage. You should use moves that your wrestler's height weight and strength can handle. Xpac can't chokeslam people. Paul Wight can't moonsault off the top rope. I'd like to see yokozuna try and put someone in a figure four. It would be funny to see The undertaker do a hurricanrana on someone. So make sure your moves match your wrestler's size!
Also: Naming your finisher should make
sense. it's tradition! The Rock has his Rock Bottom, The Undertaker has his
Tombstone Pildriver. Stone Cold has his Stunner. If your name is Rick "the
killer" Rollad his move could be : "187"
Try to stay away from graphic
names like that though. Let's say your wrestler's name is HardKore, lol. His
finisher is the "HardKnock" a floating impact DDT. Use your brain and have fun
with it!
