I'll try to get on one too.

Busy weekend.

I'm thinking a big hoss in the tradition of Stan Hansen. Maybe a second character who fits in better with the current push of the roster, at least as I see it, probably going for like a "translator" who is also a competitor and much more athletic/capable but the Hoss guy doesn't realize that because he doesn't watch the little guys.

Jack Hansen maybe for the big guy. Big in America, but not big enough to retain employment in America Pro or whatever it'll be called. Probably standard big guy moves. Lariato, Big Boot, maybe Big Man Moonsault like Bam Bam. Sort of Stan Hansen/Steve Williams kinda thing.

Smaller guy probably something like Curry Man/El Generico, fun goofy moves but also some good striking, sort of a Mr. America/that current Mr. America gimmick they're doing in WWE. Fans know who he is, competitors know who he is, Jack Hansen doesn't. Probably Shining Wizard and Muta Lock because I'm a big fan of Great Muta. Maybe have him also doing a Moonsault and having taught it to Jack Hansen, but obviously being much better at it.

Alright, here we go for Jack Hansen.

If the name is too similar I'll used a name I tried for a different RP here ages ago, Gerald Shaw.





WRESTLER PROFILE

Ring Name: Gerald Shaw
Nickname(s): Tōgyū (闘牛) or Bull Sumo in English, he doesn't like being called Togyu but probably would if he knew what it means
Billed From: Texas
Height: 6'6 (actually 6'3)
Weight: 340 pounds (actually 260)
Age: 45
Appearance/Pic Base: A lot of Stan Hansen, a little Steve Williams
Text Color: Mid Orange f7941d

CHARACTER
Alignment:

Heel but views himself as a Face because he's showing Japan what true power looks like and representing the United States just super well. Arrogant, a little botch prone.

Gimmick:

In short, a capable but prideful American Hoss with a temper that screws him over.





ENTRANCE:
Entrance Theme: soundcloud.com/texas-condor-kick/gene… I imagine he walks out at about :06 when the guitar starts up
Entrance Description:
Gerald Shaw comes out at a brisk walk, pointing and yelling in English. Self aggrandizement. Challenges to his current competitor.
Receives mostly mild boos. His interpreter comes out shortly afterward and there are cheers. This is the crowd recognizing the masked "Mr. Watanabe" as Haruto Watanabe and cheering him. Jack Hansen takes this to be the Americans in the crowd cheering over the people booing him and gets very pumped up.

MOVESET
Wrestling Style:
A Brute. Powerhouse Grappling and Brawling with a bit of Generic Big Man. Nothing too complicated but manages to make things look impactful whether delivering or taking the moves.

Finishers
Lonestar Lariat : Stan Hansen Lariat

Amarillo Airstrike : Moonsault, usually from a Turnbuckle but does a sort of Cartwheel/Splash when exhausted and calls it the same thing


Signature Moves
Greetings from West Texas : Big Boot (used to be a Finisher)
San Antonio Slamma : Spinebuster
Frontier Justice : Backbreaker
The Long Way Around : An Oklahoma Stampede as done by Steve Williams

Other Common Moves
Sidewalk Slam
Repeated Clubbing Blows
Release German Suplexes in a Series
Hip Drop

@BangoSkank Absolutely love it, Stan Hansen is one of my all time favorites, and I love the 90s All Japan vibe of your character. Can perfectly picture the type of sloppy but awesome big man moonsault this guy would hit. The sample promo was great as well, and every Japanese promotion needs a rough and tough gaijin heel. Both possible names are solid, so really it's whatever you prefer between Jack Hansen and Gerald Shaw. Go ahead and post your CS in the CHar section whenever you get a chance.

Are you still also thinking of creating a babyface character, I know you mentioned Muta as an inspiration too. If not, I do have a Muta-type NPC that can be added to the roster. In general though, we're going to need some more player controlled babyfaces, face-painted or otherwise. So if you have any ideas, toss them in.

@Omega Man Are you still on board? Just waiting on your CS being moved to the Char tab.

And @Shu@Oso@Shoopuf will you be joining in as well?

@Bonesaw McGraw Sorry for the delay, been a crazy week or so. I'm working on a Japanese babyface wrestler using Saya Kamitani as the appearance (from before her heel turn). Don't know if I'll be able to finish it tomorrow, but sometime this weekend at the latest.

@Shu will you be joining in as well?

I will be, yes! I am actually nearly done with my character, I just need to add her moveset. (I had in fact finished but then restarted with a fresh concept… 😅💀)

@Bonesaw McGraw

I was going for Muta but if you've got an idea for his type I'm happy not to.
I was thinking of stuff for the manager, who would be the other wrestler I use, that doesn't really work for a Muta type anyway.

Sort of a Dean Malenko/Steve Blackman/Lance Storm more serious type. Proficient. Professional. A little lacking in personality. A straight man basically. Sort of a Chris Benoit kind of potential that's not been reached. Could make for a fun opponent who isn't as concerned with winning In Character and a fun juxtaposition for Shaw.

@Shu@Shoopuf
But if it doesn't encroach on Shu and Shoopuf's ideas I could make the character a woman so there's a little more roster on that side of things. Same concept, a mid carder not really concerned with glory but with putting on a show. Manager for Shaw as Mrs. Watanabe and a wrestler in her own right. Plus the sight gags in my imagination of her talking down a worked up Shaw or just "translating" his English blabbering into something coherent makes me giggle.

Either way.

@BangoSkank I was going to ask about the manager, I think that's a good idea. Sort of a Gedo type of role where it's a former wrestler turned manager who still steps in the ring occasionally. And like you said, since Gerald Shaw is the major star, Mr. Watanabe could eat pins and it's not a big deal.

And for the Muta character, I'd definitely rather they be a PC as opposed to an NPC since it's such a classic gimmick. My take on it was an enigmatic face-painted wrestler named Orochi (who sort of had a snake-themed vibe going on). He was silent of course, but had a manager/valet named Kasumi (a name that literally translates to "mist").

And as far as the men's vs women's divisions, I've given it some thought and I wonder if it's just easier to have everyone in the same division, as is the case with most e-feds you'll find online. It makes things easier when you have a smaller roster overall, and you can just focus on the characters above everything. Just treat it like a fighting videogame sort of, where it doesn't matter.

@Bonesaw McGraw



For your consideration, I can make some changes so my character would fit the RP better. Or if this character doesn't work i can make another.

Fashionably late as could be… 💀

Tell me if I need to alter or add anything!

@Eviledd1984 THE SINISTER MINISTER, haha love it. We don't have an evil cult leader type of heel yet, so your character fills a nice niche, and I like the named Anton Van Horne. Gimmick sort of reminds me of the "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan in WCW. I also like that he uses technical wrestling to dissect his opponent, and I can picture him doing some of those classic joint manipulation spots that were popularized in the British wrestling scene. It's fine as is if we want another gaijin heel, but if you wanted to flavor the character to be Japanese then you could maybe look at EVIL as an appearance base instead of James Mitchell. Either way, you're good to move the finished CS into the Char section, but could you just bold and highlight the headings with your chosen text color. Much appreciated.

Also, if you've got another character in mind we can use as many wrestlers as we can get. Right now we are in need of homegrown babyfaces, so that would be ideal for you second character. Eager to see what you come up with!

@Shu Better late than never. CS looks great, feel free to move her into the Char section officially!

@John Table What are you thinking for your babyface character?

@Bonesaw McGraw

Funny you mention Kevin Sullivan I was a bit inspired by him and Terry Funk. I don't know if your gonna have hard-core matches, but if you are then I'd love Van Horne and his goons to be in it. I was also thinking of having a Mickey Whipwreck or Tajiri like characters be in his stable if that's okay.

I will try to get another sheet up maybe by Sunday or Monday.

Yeah we will absolutely have hardcore matches and other gimmick matches when appropriate. If you want to flesh out a House of Torture style crew of goons for Van Horne that would be great as well. They don't have to be your main playabale characters, they can just be extra bodies to use. You could maybe just incoproate them into the Gimmick section of Van Horne's CS.

And sounds good about the second sheet. Next week I want to officially book the first show.

And as far as the men's vs women's divisions, I've given it some thought and I wonder if it's just easier to have everyone in the same division, as is the case with most e-feds you'll find online. It makes things easier when you have a smaller roster overall, and you can just focus on the characters above everything. Just treat it like a fighting videogame sort of, where it doesn't matter.

If we can get enough characters I'd personally prefer to keep it separated, or limited to the occasional mixed tag match, but I don't know how likely that is. I'm fine with it either way, and tried to make my character with that in mind.

Speaking of, just need to hunt down entrance music for her and she'll be done. Should be able to find time for that in a few hours!

@John Table What are you thinking for your babyface character?

Kinda torn between two options, either a bodybuilder muscleman guy or a hardcore punk rocker think... uhh Japanese Darby Allin.

I made up my mind

WRESTLER PROFILE

Ring Name: Tiger Ramone
Nickname(s): The Tokyo Dardevil, The Last Shogun
Billed From: Tokyo , Japan
Height: 5'9
Weight: 180 lbs
Age: 40
Appearance/Pic Base: Jun Kasai
Text Color: FF8C00

CHARACTER

Alignment: Babyface

Gimmick: For the last twenty years, Tiger Ramone has been the premier hardcore wrestler in the Japanese scene. With a punk rock ethos and a disregard for his own personal safety, there is no crazy feat he is unwilling to take, no high spot he won't do. He has competed in everything from ladder matches, to steel cages with weapons and barbwire. He has put his blood, sweat, and tears into the pro wrestling business the last two decades and his daring and anti-establishment attitude ahs made him one of Japan's most over babyfaces.

Sample Promo (Optional):

I am called the Last Shogun, in honor of those old samurai warlords who ruled our nation with iron fists. The reason I am the last? It's because they are no more, they are lost to time and the pages of history. In this world of ours, we focus on wins and losses. Yet, there is only one opponent who is undefeated, and his name is Father Time. And he's coming for me.

I am entering my third decade as a professional wrestler. For the last twenty years you have seen me go out night after night and put it all on the line for you. I have broken over fifty bones, had almost one thousand stitches, and put an entire generation of doctor's childrens through college with my medical bills alone. Every day it gets a little harder and harder to wake up and get out of bed. Every step there is a little more pain, a little more ache, and a little less joy. And there will come a day when I cannot go on, a day in which I will throw in the towel and be pinned for the last time. It comes for us all and I will be no different. But that day has yet to come, and that day will not come until the prize that has alluded me my entire career is mine: The FSPW World Championship!

So this is a warning to the rest of the FSPW roster: Do your worst. I like the pain.

ENTRANCE

I'm interested in this rp. As someone starting wrestling training in a month, I got ideas. Figured I can make the indie darling wrestler. Your AJ Style or Daniel Bryan or Kenny Omega kind of guy.

@John Table Terry Funk described himself as "middle aged and crazy" and I think that perfectly fits you guy's vibe haha. Love it, add him to the Char section whenever you can. Also, as a Canadian millennial pop punk fan - Fat Lip would be a cool name for one of your character's moves (maybe a codebreaker?)...

@Shoopuf Looks perfect, welcome aboard! Loved the added touch of your character being a second generation wrestler trying to step outside of her father's shadow.

@Taka Sounds great, looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Like I said in an earlier post, hoping to announce our first show early next week.

@Bonesaw McGraw Yeah man I'll try and get it moved over today to the character tab. I've had a rough week with all of this snow, almost died after my truck slid on some ice Wedbesday, and now today's my wife's birthday. I couldn't catch a break rn if I had to. I should be able to do more on my laptop once my daughter goes to her grandparents for the rest of the day in a couple hours. Can't ever copy/baste anything right on my phone...

Emiko Kozutsami [+]

Emiko Kozutsami

WRESTLER PROFILE

Ring Name: Emiko Kozutsami
Nickname(s): The Rebel Princess
Billed From: Saitama, Japan
Height: 5'6" (168 cm)
Weight: 128 lbs (58 kg)
Age: 24
Appearance/Pic Base: Saya Kamitani
Text Color: A8EDEA

CHARACTER

Alignment: Babyface.

Gimmick: Daughter of the legendary (and now retired) heel Maro Kozutsami, The Crimson King, Emiko blazes her own path and won't be defined by blood or expectations. She refuses any and all handouts or shortcuts offered to her because of her name, earning her achievements the hard way. Emiko aggressively pursues the toughest challenges, any setbacks or defeats she suffers only fueling her drive. She debuted on the independent circuit at nineteen, winning multiple championships over the next five years, and now looks to make her mark on FSPW. She'll meet and exceed her father's achievements, and she'll do it her own way.

ENTRANCE

Entrance Theme: Burn by HARU NEMURI & Frost Children

Entrance Description: Blue flames light up the screens, and Emiko appears amidst white sparks at the top of the ramp when the beat drops, wearing a long cloak of white feathers with her ring attire. She surveys the crowd, then descends with the verse, laser-focused on the ring. She takes her time, walking a lap around the ring and eyeing up the competition if they entered first. Once she's up onto the apron, she vaults over the top rope in time with the drop of the chorus, heading to the corner and only then playing to the crowd, swaying with her arms extended and a confident smile. The music fades out before the second verse begins, and by then Emiko has removed her cloak and is ready for battle.

MOVESET

Wrestling Style: High energy, making heavy use of punishing kicks and aggressive takedowns. Impressively strong for her size and highly resilient, she looks to end matches with either a suplex showcasing her power, or a fearless aerial assault from the corner, with little regard for her own safety and no hesitation to fight ringside. She honors the Spirit of Competition whenever she can, but when the rules are relaxed or she's up against a hated rival, her natural aggression can win out.

Finishers

• Phoenix Splash/450 Splash
• Bridging Dragon Suplex

Signature Moves

• Overhead Kick - either standing or springboard
• Missile Dropkick
• Poisoned Frankensteiner
• Diving Elbow Drop

Other Common Moves

• Running Facebuster
• Bicycle Kick
• Chest Kick/Roundhouse Combo
• Running Meteora - against a cornered opponent, either sitting or hanging from turnbuckles. Followed by dragging them out to set up for an aerial move.
• German Suplex
• Thesz Press
• Standing Elbow Drop

Let me know if I need to change or add anything!

Might make a second character and I'd LOVE to make a heel who is Emiko's eternal rival. That Bayley vs Sasha caliber matches. Toni vs Mariah May, etc. The mountain Emiko climbs to become a star.

@Bonesaw McGraw



Here is my other character, i also added a couple of guys into my first character's stable.
