It’s about feuds, championships, betrayal, and righteous victory. It’s about the clash of good and evil on the grandest stage. It’s about whether you’ve got what it takes. And, in the end, it’s about what the audience thinks of your efforts. You don’t need to know much about real–world wrestling in order to play this game well! All you need is an idea for an entertaining char- acter. Wrestling is the drama of personal conflict, exaggerated until it becomes mythic. The game plunges your wrestler into these con- flicts, guiding you through the drama as it escalates in more and more crowd–pleasing ways. This gets complicated by the two concurrent stories always going on. One is the “on–screen” crafted story, told by larger–than–life wrestlers, managers, valets, and authority figures in the fictional wrestling universe you create at your table. The other is the “legit” story that happens off camera, as the professional entertain- ers wearing the spandex politick backstage in order to advance their careers, attract more eyeballs to ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Using This Text the product, and do what’s best This text is arranged concentrically. If for business. you read it straight through, it starts This game is meant to be with the basic concepts and overview of accessible to both wrestling fans how the game works in broad strokes; curious about roleplaying games next, how to make characters and play and experienced gamers who a single session; next, how to prep for a continuing series of play and play subse- want to see what this whole wres- quent sessions; next, how to customize tling thing is about.

It's not difficult. times comes at the expense of repetition Focus on the wrestling first. As for straight–through reading. you get used to how the game 8 About the Game works, you’ll start blending the legit with the kayfabe and playing with the boundaries between “wrestling character,” “my character, a wres- tler,” and yourself as an audience member to the unfolding game. The key perspective you need to remember is that you’re playing a character who’s intentionally trying to entertain an audience. This concept is shorthanded as the “Imaginary Viewing Audience” through- out this text. The Imaginary Viewing Audience embodies the idea that your wrestling characters are always on screen. The folks who pay good money to be entertained are the ones who ultimately determine the success or failure of your individual wrestlers and of the promotion as a whole. Some of the game mechanics keep track of how engaged the Imaginary Viewing Audience is with the product you present. However, there’s also a non–imaginary audience—you and your friends! The goal of the wrestlers in your game is to gain popularity and acclaim.

  • Basic Wrestling Moves
    Basic Wrestling Moves Below are some basic wrestling moves, each with a brief explanation. Clink on the link to see examples of the moves. (click on the back button to get back to this page) Takedown Naturally, you can't pin your opponent until you have him on the mat. To do this you take him down. This photo montage shows a variety of takedown techniques which should all succeed in slapping him down on the mat for you. Breakdown Okay, so you've got your opponent down to the mat but you still have to break him down further to go for that all- important pin. Here are some good ideas to get you started. Crotch Lift Fine, so he's down on the mat - FACE down. That's no good. You need to get him onto his back for a pin and that's where this baby comes in useful. Gut Wrench Another great way to get him off his face and onto his back in readiness for the all-important pin. Pin You press your opponent's shoulders against the mat and keep them there until the referee blows his whistle - a sound which is music to your ears ...and a scratched chalkboard for him. Bridge One great way to counter your opponent's efforts for a pin is to bridge your body by arching your back away from the mat. Here are some strong bridges captured in full execution. Headlock You wrap your arm around your opponent's neck and lock your hands together, ensuring his arm is also gathered into the hold to prevent accidental choking.

T-shirt should be tightly tucked in to avoid finger injuries. Shoes must be worn to avoid toe injuries. 2. Mats should be mopped with special cleansers on a daily basis. This will keep down the likelihood of ringworm. 3. Ensure wrestlers know it is a contact sport and accidents can happen. If someone gets hurt it was not something that was done on purpose so there is no need for retaliation. 4. If at any time a wrestler yells “Stop” wrestling should cease. This must Only be used when a wrestler feels he may possibly be hurt. 5. No jewellery can be worn (glasses, rings, ear rings, necklaces). If an ear ring can’t be taken out then it must be covered with tape. 6. Wrestlers must keep their fingernails trimmed.

  • Deep Friendly Goodness
    WEBISODE #1: DEEP FRIENDLY GOODNESS [1] WELCOME TO RPS FADE IN: TAGLINE: 2 HOURS UNTIL THE SHOW INT. WRESTLING ARENA. A split-screen shot shows the two main event stars arriving at the arena. DERRICK LA’BELL on the left, MARIANO FERNANDEZ on the right. The stark contrast between them is LA’BELL arrives like an MMA star with an entourage, dressed in quality sports brand, whereas FERNANDEZ arrives like a veteran wrestler. Solo, a bag over his back, dressed in civilian attire. They walk down their respective hallway poised as the central figure of their shot. People they pass turn their heads recognizing them almost immediately as celebrities. A subtle jazz background music is played while they walk down the hallways and enter their respective locker room. - In Fernandez’s room he drops off his bag and sits down. Over his shoulder, the shot reveals him to be on his phone and navigating Twitter. - In Derrick’s room, his entourage drops his bag, one individual begins answering a phone. La’Bell quick changes his standard black shirt to a shirt with the RPS logo on. DERRICK LA’BELL: How’s it look? One of Derrick’s entourage looks up from his phone. Immediately he half-smiles and nods slowly and approvingly. BEN HUANG: Makes you like the G.O.A.T, Beast. JAMES STOKES: And that’s free, Beast. Another member of the entourage adds. Charismatic, shorter than BEN. The camera follows La’Bell walking out of the room and THE BEAST walks over to the poster featuring himself and Mariano.
