E-feds run like a real fed?

Has anybody ever heard of an e-fed that's actually run like a real fed?
Meaning that wrestlers sign on to a fed, but their roles, personas, and
angles/feuds are all controlled by a booking team, with promos being
the only real control that the wrestlers have.

My guess is that you couldn't find enough guys to leave their egos
behind to do this, but hey, you never know...

Honestly, I don't think it'd be a game were it that way. I think a more
appropriate title would be "online collaboration project." To some extent,
there have been shows totally booked by fedheads. Simmed feds that don't
use flashes are done that way. Also, there's a few fedheads that've written
entire cards by themselves with all the characters made up.

It _could_ be done. But would be VERY difficult to get people to contribute
actual flashes for it. The usual mindset is, "If I'm not going to win it,
then why do it?"

Get what I'm saying? =)

Public Access Wrestling does that to an extent. Most of the players that have
passed through our "doors" don't bother with discussing angles or a direction
in which they'd like to go, leaving me more often than not doing angles,
backstage happenings as well as on-cards/in-rings for their characters.

And the few that do discuss ideas ... well, I always take what they want to do
and twist it around somewhat, just to surprise them. telling them 75% of the
time what I have in mind. I do this because I look at their ideas and try to
fit it into the "Big Picture" that involves everyone else while they might only
be looking at it from their end of things.

I think it makes for a pretty good story as do some of my players but like I
often say, we're not for everyone.

As for checking the egos, well, I totally believe in the fact that EVERYONE who
participates will at one time or another carry the top belt ... how long they
do so is really up to them and it does not seem to bother the players but then
again, I do carry a tiny roster as opposed to some feds out there.

Check us out.

There's a site that does this, well sorta. What it does is lets you
create a wrestler, to quite an advanced extent but the comisioner
decides the roleplays and matches.

Its a great EFED as well!!

Check it out;

Tell me what you think!

That's the spirit Ian! Everyone join in! UCW! UCW! UCW! UCW!

To answer the question of the post: It is hard to pull something like that
off. You might as well do everything yourself...create and run
everything...gather a following for the league...send out a ballot to your
mailing list to get the league on the year ends...place real high due to
people wanting to see a league like that beat the others...and then watch
your critics cheaply accuse you of spamming the list...oh wait a
minute...silly me...that's what happened with UCW.

Oh how my memory slips at times.

P.S.-Ian, you'll be happy to know...UCW will be back sooner than you think.
If you wish to flame me abou this message...at least wait till Sunday
because that is when I'll be back at my computer.

I didn't realize it was a secret that I handled GPW Mask.

Guess the cat's really outta the bag now. But hey, don't forget Nick's

When in the hell on god's green earth will there be a damn AVW Mask?

If you made him a fat, bald, jobber...it'd be perfect.

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome back to the world of
e-wrestling, from Birmingham, Alabama, the ME$$IAH of Pro-Wrestling...

DAVID~!

A~!

$MITH~!

[Monster pop!]

Dave, I want you to autograph as many 8x11s of yourself as possible, scan them,
and e-mail them to me from those 19 different e-mail accounts--I mean, have the
people who voted for the UCW on the Year Ends send them to me, because, well
you know, you didn't spam anything.

From now on, I've decided that "Fade to black" is so overdone that I'm no
longer going to do that in my promos. Instead, I believe in fading to an
autographed 8x11 of David A. $mith. It could become a trend!

Nick...you can believe what you want...that's your choice. But...all I ask
you to do is show me any PROOF that I spammed the awards and...when you come
up empty...maybe you'll realize that there are people out there who did in
fact vote for UCW instead of...you know...actual federations who base things
on roleplaying. Heck, if you want to look at the ballot I sent in and
compare it to the results...you'll see that they don't match up. Then, you
can verify with Jason Russell. Quick question...how long after you found
out the results did it take you to come up with the spam excuse? I mean, I
commend you Nick...if I got beaten by a group of characters who didn't do
one roleplay and were around for only about two months before the year ends
came out...I'd be looking for excuses to.

David

[Fade to D.A.$.-Hey...I like this...there is no such thing as bad
publicity.]

P.S.-UCW will be back soon so start coming up with some more
accusations...we could use the heat.

Give me a minute to mark out. Seriously. I'm glad to see you back, Dave, as I'm
sure John and Ian can attest to.

I've learned that I shouldn't DA$ hate, I should DA$ congratulate. Maybe David
didn't really spam the Year-Ends after all. Yes, I know what the popular
opinion is. But what's popular isn't always right, and what's right isn't
always left.

Instead, I'm willing to bet that each of those infamous split personalities got
a ballot. Or thirteen.

I'm sorry that I ever accused you of anything so ridiculously, un... un-Me$$iah
like.

All together now, YOO-SEE-DUBYA~!

DA$ Mark for Life,

Nick
