If you take out the trivia aspect of it then you're on to something HTK. If you wanted to say, have the roleplaying be a side thing where the players interact in a backstage setting or whatever, that will help build matches and feuds for the next week and month. Players basically have completely control of the creative direction of their wrestlers. Then, each week, writers for the e-fed write results for the show similar to a Be The Booker, except in a far more organized, community type of setting where multiple people are working on the same show each week. Results are simply determined by storyline events on what makes the best amount of sense, judged by the staff themselves, and what will help continue the feuds and storylines therein.
Basically, TL;DR: Optional roleplaying that involves small incentives of minor creative control, shows written by the staff to advance those storylines, and thus everyone will WANT to roleplay in order to get their characters involved. It no longer becomes such a competitive chore, because everyone wants to be involved for the sake of building an enjoyable program for themselves and others.
