I have friends who thought I was crazy when they heard I like wrestling ("u no wrestling is fake rite, lel") but when I explained to them that wrestling is a style of performance art that mimics an athletic competition and has elements of lost theatrical styles that are otherwise entierly niche in modern times, they tend to come around to my thinking. I wonder if they'd indulge me by trying out a wrestling RPG.
Tomorrow night! Ring of Honor Final Battle tomorrow night! I hope Dalton Castle gets his boys back.
I remember there was some wrestling RP sites that used WWE games as their source for wins and losses.
Back when I played those games, specifically WWE '13, we would choose a wrestler to RP (I had JBL) and we would engage in feuds based on the GM who was basically the admin of the site that paired us up in feuds.
We would start threads and RP our promos out, then face each other in-game. But when we faced each other it wasn't like normal people playing the game, we actually tried to make it look like an actual wrestling match with a slow build and all. No running grapples or anything like that, literally acting like we're pacing the ring at each other and throwing punches occasionally, y'know, rp'ing it out.
Eventually there would be a winner and we'd post the results, do promos again, etc.
It was seriously fun, but not very popular. I maybe took part for about two months.
