1. What is SWL?
---------------------------------------------
a. In Character
Super Wrestling League is an ambitious project that may have been more suited for 1989 than it is for 2013. Despite the name and the long term goals SWL is a small start up company based in Hill Valley, North Carolina. Initially the plan is to run in venues such as High School gyms, local recreational centres and small theatres with budgeted attendances set to be between 500 and 1500.
There is though some money in this project and that will mostly be spent on television syndication and talent. Production, venues and marketing will be pretty far down the list.
b. Out of Character
SWL is a small fed with big ambitions, over the years there have been many that have popped up, especially after the closure of WCW and ECW, think of the likes of MLW, WWA and who can remember MECW. They start off as the indy darling company with a big wedge of cash at day one and six months later its been blown on all the wrong things.
The aim is to run small shows in a fast paced, modern episodic format. I want it to be laid back, people have less time than ever. I used to love reading long detailed show with main event that were 7,000 words and went on for pages, but unfortunately time have changed. Results will be wrote in a shorter format, I will though promise to put as much effort into the shows as the handlers do into their combined role-plays, I think that is only fair.
How will SWL be different? We're small but we're going to push the envelope. I don't mean by having exploding barbed wire matches or strip shows, I mean that I want everyone involved in a programme with a ladder to the top. I want to give everyone the chance to be creative and have fun.
---------------------------------------------
2. Who Runs SWL?
---------------------------------------------
a. In Character
The Doc is the Executive Producer, he's not the money man although he likes to think he is. The Doc won't be on the shows, he won't be the GM, Commissioner or on screen President.
b. Out of Character
I'm Chris, I played between 1997 and 2004. I got back into things in 2011 on and off, I've struggled to find a fed that has captured my imagination. I was on the roster in X80D, KAWF, TCW, IWO and many others. You can contact me by mailing SWLe...@aol.com
---------------------------------------------
3. Schedule and Shows
---------------------------------------------
SWL has a syndicated TV deal with a few stations in North Carolina, the aim is to expand into new markets in the future.
'Super Sunday Wrestling' - This show will be bi-weekly with between three to five matches on it. Pretty much everything of any importance will happen on this show.
Supercards - These will have awesome names, be held in slightly larger venues and will be booked sporadically. When they do occur it will happen three weeks after the last show, giving everyone amble opportunity to get in the swing of things .
House Shows - If I'm bored or sat on the toilet I might bash out a House Show in summary format. These shows will feature jobbers, non title matches and just be for fun. Nothing that happens on these shows will be mentioned on TV. They're just for FUN!
'Speak Your Mind - This is our role-play/flash packet. This will be sent out the Friday before Super Sunday Wrestling. It will be top and tailed with an intro and outro making it appear like a studio magian show like WWE Afterburn etc.
---------------------------------------------
4. Role-plays, Flashes, Backstage and In Rings
---------------------------------------------
Role-plays (flashes) are the heart and should of SWL. They are what decides what your character does, how they gets on in his/her matches and how they develop feuds with other characters. Role-plays need to be sent to SWLe...@aol.com
Role-plays will be sent out the Friday before a show. Please remember only one role-play per Role-play/Flash packet. It's about quality and not quality and being accessible to as many people as possible.
As far as what happens in your role-plays you can be as creative as you like, open your mind and have a chicken burger. As long as it's fairly realistic and within what would happen, be said and done to a character in a small regional promotion.
You may from time to time be booked for a Backstage or In Ring interview on a show, this means your role-play will not be included in the 'Speak Your Mind' packet but will feature on the show, it will be judged the same as the others, but realistically needs to take place either in the ring or backstage at the show.
---------------------------------------------
5. Championships
---------------------------------------------
National Champion - This is for the big dawgs amongst you. If you fancy being the number one pony in these stables then this is what you get. As National Champion you will represent SWL, you will be the posterboy of the promotion, are you up to the challenge?
National Tag Team Champions - I bloody love a good old tag match. I want to position the Tag Titles as important as the singles championship. If your not doing much, wondering around the bottom of the card I might just slap you in a team to try something new, who knows - you could be a champ!
Television Champion - This is the secondary championship, it's on order at the moment, as soon as it arrives in the offices we'll be getting the TV Title division underway.
---------------------------------------------
6. Rules
---------------------------------------------
1. SWL is a traditional fake character e-mail fantasy wrestling league. This means we don't have a spiffing website (we might get a blog), you don't need to sign up to our boards, there will be no posers, all you do is check your email…simple huh?
2. Apart from Supercards, it's only ever one role-play per show, can you manage that?
3. Play nice, we're all fiends here to have a good time.
4. You can hold one singles title at a time, if you move up to a different title then you must vacate the previous one because sharing is caring.
5. If you can't rp for a show drop me a v short line, I don't care what the reason is, it's just nice to know.
6. You can handle up to three people, anymore then you have to ask, I'll probably say yes, I'm that kinda guy.
---------------------------------------------
7. Non-Playable Characters
---------------------------------------------
Dougie Wright - He is our lead play by play announcer, he's been around for years and is a real student of the game. He loves for clean, smart professional wrestling and wishes everyone would just be nice to each other.
Marty The Cabbie - Marty The Cabbie is known as Marty The Cabbie because he is of course a taxi driver. You will often see his yellow cab parked outside the venue, often charging people for trips home after the matches. In his younger days he tried his hand at wrestling but was, well - awful; you would never think it though from how he goes on about it.
Zack Cobb - The Ring Announcer
Jessica Pussycat - The gorgeous Jessica is the official SWL reporter, she conducts backstage interviews and any other assignments she's sent on. And DAMN she is hot!
Wayne West - Referee
Barry Bellino - Referee
