Fantasy Booking...and a new game debuting!

What is it we love about Pro Wrestling?

For some it's the action. For some it's the "characters". For some it's the story telling.

I remember when I first discovered "Dirt Sheets" like the Observer and the Torch. Man I LOVED finding out things I couldn't possibly know from just watching the weekly TV shows.

I remember using the basics of "Dungeons and Dragons" to play a wrestling fed. I kept stats, I had champions, I had super cards, etc.

Then I found OTHER Pro Wrestling role playing games ... Some were on PC, some used dice...I'm rather sure I've played them all.

I LOVED them all.

Why?  Because I love deciding who works and who doesn't. And what stories we tell. And what kind of action there will be. Any maybe even what kind of  "behind the scenes" drama there will be.

We all do it, in our own way.
Go on Twitter, look up ANY pro wrestling feed, and read the comments when RAW or SmackDown is on. Every one has an idea of what they would do differently. Or Better.

The WWE put out a Role Playing game YEARS ago.
Oh man I LOVED that game. I played it for hours at a clip.
LOVED it.

There was a dice-and-card game called Rasslin' that was put out by Avalon Hill.
My friends and I played it when we were in our Twenties...and 20 years later I taught my SON to play.


You see...we're all smarter than Vince and Hunter. We all can spot Indy Talent when we see it.

I'm not making fun. Many of us WOULD make better decisions.

So when it comes to Fantasy Booking, right now I have 2 passions:

1) If you are into wrestling "sims" that you play on your PC, look into Grey Dog Software's TEW (Total Extreme Wrestling). They put out a new version every 3 years or so, and it gets better and better every time. VERY detailed. If it happens in pro wrestling, it can happen in your game.

2) If you want some "interactive role playing" , we are launching the Sheer Wrestling League very shortly! This works the opposite of TEW. Instead of you being the Booker and controlling everything, you are the Wrestler and it's your job to Get Over. You might do it with Backstage Politics, you might do it with great Ring Work and you might do it with a little of Both.

So I will be running 2 wrestling leagues...one via TEW for playing "solitaire" and one called SWL where I can interact with others.

Why?
Because I LOVE fantasy booking.
