HANDLER

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. At the end of the day, it's someone's opinion that decided who will go home with the victory. It's all in fun, so keep it that way.

CHARACTER

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 son? 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;

1. "The Thriller" Mark Davidson
2. Kyle Floyd
3. Kris Kancer
4. Jayce Russell
5. "The Jackhammer" Keith Hagen

These are just a few ideas for original names, there is always a chance that you'll come up with a name that someone is using already. Well, shit happens, unless you stole it purposely, you're fine. Let's go over a few names that I've seen used in e-feds throughout my career that I personally liked;

1. HardKore (This one is mine and since I first used it I've seen it used OVER AND OVER again!! It's so obvious when they capitalize the H and K.)
2. Ambush Bug (Cool gimmick)
3. TyranT (Cool name)
4. Komatose (Cool name)
5. "Too fine" Chris Divine
6. SyN (His catch phrase is: "Forgive me father, for I am SyN" THATS DAMN KOOL!!)

That's just a few examples of names you can create. BUT DON'T USE THEM!! Just be sure that the name is catchy or creative and it doesn't mimic a real wrestler. Also don't be a jackass, don't use Steve "The fuckin' mutha fucka" Jackson. Or don't use Jake "The shit" Russell, act a little mature even though maturity and Ewrestling is like an oxymoron. Instead use, Jake "The Shyt" Russell make it creative and don't act like a Internet bad-ass. There is ALWAYS someone better than you! One last tip: It's good to make a character that you know you'll stick to for the rest of your career. I used HardKore and retired with HardKore! It was great, but you might have just as much fun changing characters every so often.

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 the entertaining trait of a character. 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 gimmicks in pro-wrestling until he he gained 200 pounds, put on a head bandana and started 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. 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.

• Mankind, is now a funny wacky gimmick- though he used to be dark.
• Paul Wight is a giant gimmick- Cus he's f'n huge!
• Jericho is a cocky smartass.
• Too cool is a wacky stereotypical gimmick
• Chris Benoit is, eh what the fuck is he??
• Blackman is a boring gimmick.
• Shane McMahon is a slimy, yuppie gimmick
• Vince Mcmahon is the "evil boss" gimmick, the politician, the "brain" of the outfit
• HHH is the "game" he will prove that he is the best anyway he can

There are WAY many more gimmicks possible than the ones I just named, who said Ewrestling was easy? You gotta use that brain of yours!

HEAT DRAW or (alliance)
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 heated boos or do you want to be the hero with all the cheers? Positive Heat or Negative Heat? Boos or Pops people.. Let's see..

• HHH is a HEEL sometimes a SUPER HEEL
• The Rock is a SUPER babyface
• Blackman is boring no heat (Neutral)
• Boss man is a heel with no heat draw
• Rikishi is a babyface
• Kane is/was neutral

Now, heat draw simply means your wrestler is popular! Noone with good sense wants to be an unpopular wrestler. So you don't want to be Big Boss man or Blackman. Some people think that being a face is boring, they want to be bad and get tons of boos. Some people (newbies, lol) like to be the hero and save the day like Steve Austin or the Rock. Kane (before his "monster" crap) is a good example of an "over" neutral wrestler. He's not really a face or heel but the fans like him. Over simply means popular. How good you are or "role-play" will determine how over you get in Ewrestling. On a side note, I was the most over e-wrestler in Ewrestling history! Yup, HardKore lives on.. SHUT UP!

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 muscle bound man would weigh or an average height wrestler would weigh, etc.

Next part is the best part, to me atleast. the physical appearance, 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 found fun about e-feds and I hope you do too! I hope this chart was useful for you. Have fun!

ARESENAL

It's a good idea to come up with a repetois of moves and holds your wrestler uses as his signature moveset.

You'll need to create a setup move and finisher as well.

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 Piledriver. 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!
