Welcome to the official WWEForums Xbox One League!
Hereby known as:
While this may be a competitive league, we also thrive on stories and characters, so if you and an opponent would like to script out matches/promos, you may do so. However, that should not be the case all the time, this is still a league after-all.
CAW'sHereby known as:
While this may be a competitive league, we also thrive on stories and characters, so if you and an opponent would like to script out matches/promos, you may do so. However, that should not be the case all the time, this is still a league after-all.
- The Xbox League/Ignition is centered around CAW's. So there are no real life people allowed here. If you wish to participate you must be representing a CAW
- Mentioning real world companies is allowed, within reason
- Your CAW cannot have ever worked for any major real world wrestling promotion (WWE, WCW, TNA, ROH, NJPW, etc.) as your CAW does not exist in real life, so do not promo as if that CAW has.
- CAW overall limit: 90 or below (subject to change)
- All stats/move-sets must be realistic to your CAW, as if they existed in the real world. No 500-pounders doing 630 Sentons and no small wrestlers hitting an End of Days
- The Mic Skill stat is the only stat that can be dropped all the way down
- No other stat can be under 60
- Pin Escape max at 80
- Reversal stock limit is 4 and below (must be realistic to your CAW, not everyone is a technical wizard)
- Only Pin Combo/Diving Pin Combo Lvl 1 is allowed, other levels are banned
- Dirty Pin lvl 1 is allowed only if you're a heel, other levels are banned
- Ring Escape lvl 3 is allowed only if you're a heel, other levels are banned
- Resiliency lvl 3 is allowed only if you're a face, Resiliency lvl 1 is only allowed if you're a heel. Resiliency lvl 2 is banned.
- Fan Favorite lvl 2 is allowed only if you're a face, other levels are banned
- Leverage Pin is allowed only for heels (cannot be manually done, only allowed as a reversal)
- Abilities tied to Universe Mode/My Career Mode (ex: Brawl, Stare Down and Mic Skill) are all banned
- Samoa Joe's OMG Moment (Powerbomb/Boston Crab Combo) is banned
- All skills must be realistic to your CAW (ex: no 500-pounders doing a Suicide Dive and no small wrestlers doing a double F-5)
- Move-set must be realistic to your CAW
- Abuse of the new Taunt Buff System is not allowed (ex: taunting immediately after your buff runs out, to gain a new buff right after. Basically no infinite buffs)
- Each character is allowed a unique finisher. This means that no two people should have the same finisher.
- Your finisher cannot change week after week, you pick it and stick with it.
- Your in-ring and ringside finisher(s) should be the same.
- Hit Point Ratio must be left on its default settings
- The Super Heavyweight class is banned.
- A match must end off of a finisher followed by a pin (the pin must come immediately after the finisher, no other moves can be performed before the pin)
- Matches are allowed to end off of OMG Moments, however only if they end up in an appropriate pinning position. If they are hit with an OMG that leaves them outside of the ring, picking them up to bring them inside the ring makes them ineligible to be pinned
- A submission finisher may only be used to end a match if your opponent has successfully kicked out of 3 finishers beforehand
- Normal submissions may only be used to ware down your opponent, not end a match
- If competing in a Tables Match, the Announce Table is not allowed to be used
- If your opponent gets out of a submission finisher, you are not allowed to pin them straight away
- If in a Ladder/TLC Match and your opponent is outside of the ring, you are not allowed to block entry into the ring by placing weapons in the way of your opponent in order to cheaply win
- If in a Steel Cage Match, you may only attempt to escape/pin after hitting a finisher. OMG Moments that result in an automatic win are not allowed in Steel Cage Matches
- Abusing of the crowd area to gain a count-out win on your opponent is not allowed
- Count-out/DQ victories are allowed, as long as they are legitimate. However, purposefully losing via Count-Out/DQ will still negatively effect you as it would if done normally.
- No spamming/stalling is allowed ("If you grab an opponent then wait longer than 2 seconds before hitting a move, that is considered stalling. If you use a wake-up taunt and after the opponent is on their feet you wait longer than 2 seconds before hitting your finisher, that is stalling. Anything under 2 seconds is fine.")
- Your opponent must have at least an orange body part before going for a pin
- Each team is allowed one save per member
- If attempting to break up/ensure a pin, you must wait until AFTER a finisher is hit before entering the ring
- The illegal man must stay on the apron at ALL times and cannot enter the ring/interfere in the match unless it is to save a pin
- If the action spills outside, the illegal man is not allowed to step off the apron or block re-entry into the ring
- Tag-Team moves are allowed and can be broken up, however after the break-up or successfully hitting the move, both illegal men must return to the apron
- The illegal man in the match cannot hold their legal opponent outside of the ring to ensure a count-out
- Breaking any rule listed above, depending on the situation, will result in a warning or a strike
- Do not start, provoke or engage in an argument. Doing so will result in a strike (this will be heavily enforced)
- No-showing a match will result in a strike, unless I am notified beforehand with valid reasoning
- Do not respond in someones promo thread unless that person has given you permission.
- Do not post OOC comments in someones promo thread, this is what the Out of Character Thread is for (even if you are involved in the promo, do it in a PM)
- Keep obscene language to a minimum when posting in-character/kayfabe threads. The league is based off of a televised global wrestling promotion and overly obscene language is not allowed on television. Minor cursing is allowed during televised segments but any use of hard cursing will result in a warning. A strike is given out for repeated offenses/not correcting the initial problem (obscene language is allowed in the Backstage Thread, as that isn't on-camera and is used for character/storyline development)
- Do not give criticism (positive or negative) in someones promo thread. That is what the Promo Advice/Feedback Thread is for
- Conduct yourself with decency in the league, on the forum as a whole and with forum/league members on any social outlet. Should you be found to be violating this rule, it will result in consequences in the league (Kayfabe and OOC) and potentially the forum as a whole
- Failing to do a promo for a week will result in a strike
- First Strike - You are suspended from the league for a week (kayfabe)
- Second Strike - You are suspended from the league until after the next PPV (kayfabe)
- Third Strike - You will be removed from the league (kayfabe and OOC)
- If 30 days has passed by since you received your last strike, then it will die off. Only one strike will be removed at a time, so if you have 2, then it will take 60 days for both to go away. (this does not account for those who have gained 3 strikes)
- Every Sunday night, the "I Want a Match!" Thread will be opened for you to sign up for a match for the upcoming week's match card.
- This thread will be open from the time the previous week's results thread goes up until the upcoming week's match card is posted on Monday night.
- You will have from the time the match card is posted on Monday night until the results thread goes up on Sunday night to do your match.
- If you are not able to complete your match in the given time, then you and your opponent must either pick a winner or make a well thought-out story as to why the match ended in a NO CONTEST. If you do not do either of these things or we feel that the story you went with wasn't well worked, then you will receive a strike.
- Recording your entire match is not mandatory, but is encouraged
- Anything in the match that is considered against the rules should be recorded using the Xbox One's built in capture functionality (Double tapping the guide button and pressing the "X" button) and sent to me via a Xbox One message
- The ending of ALL matches should be recorded using the above mentioned functionality in case there are any discrepancies or arguments, so I can review the footage
- All champions must defend their championships at least once a month
- Championships can be defended on any show
- If you lose a championship, you are not guaranteed an automatic rematch. You will still have to earn it back
- Championships cannot be dropped or "cashed-in"
- Only one singles championship can be held at a time
- Joining the league as a manager is allowed, however you must already have somebody to manage before joining. You will also be required to do a much more impressive sign-up, as you are not a competitor
- If you have a manager, you are still required to be involved in the promo. Your manager can't do all of the work for you
- Should you find yourself without somebody to manage, you are allowed to find someone else to manage
- You are not allowed to manage more than one character at once unless they are in a tag-team or a stable
- If you wish to sign-up for the Women's Division as well as the normal league, there may be weeks where you are double booked, so be sure that you can handle this
- You cannot just be a female version of your male character
- Interaction between men and women is allowed, but explicit man on woman violence is not allowed. This goes both ways
- All the same rules above apply to the women as well
- This division is experimental, so it hinges on how well people do in it.
- The Women's Division will be booked equally to the men's division
A thread is only to be created when you make a promo. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Your character addressing the audience by themselves
- Your character being interviewed
- More than one character interacting in an on-camera segment
The co-general managers are also in-character figures, portrayed by both myself and @Emo. Mine shares my forum name of "Jet Starr" and Emo's has the name "Alex Pierse". We will be available to compete, but the characters are by no means 100% active competitors in the league. If you wish to have an interaction with a Co-GM in-character, we must be notified beforehand. We reserve the right to reject interaction between your character and either of the Co-GM characters.
The Promo Advice/Feedback Thread
This thread will be used to see how you are doing in the league, promo-wise. You can either link a promo of yours to the thread asking for feedback, or you can provide feedback for someone else's promo should you feel that you have some. Remember though, this is for constructive feedback only, so do not use it just to bash someone's promos.

SIGN-UP
Your sign-up is meant to be a brief introduction to your character. Since it is just a sign-up, this promo has no effect on your standings in the league and no-one in character has any clue this happened. If your sign-up promo takes more than a minute to read, it's too long.
If you wish to sign-up for the Women's or Tag-Team Division, it must be noted in your sign-up.
You can only sign-up for the tag division right off the bat if you have a partner upon signing up (Tag each other in your sign-ups), otherwise you'll have to wait until you have a partner later on
If you sign-up to be in the Women's division, you must do a second sign-up as that female character (keep both in one post if you sign-up for both male and female)
Also, if you fail to show up for a match within a 30 day period since your last match (or since sign-up if you're yet to have a match), then your character will be set to inactive and your finishers will be up for anyone to take.
In your promos, three different colors should be used:
One used for describing actions
The name of your character
What your character is saying
Any colors can be used, just be sure that they are easy to read. Same applies to the font used.
