CWF - Trash #1 (Merging Issue)

[Killz]

WWE Press Release (28 minutes after the news broke across spoiler sites on the world wide web on February 17th 2011):

It is with great sadness and regret that I can reveal the rumours are true, WWE as a business and media company has been bought and rebranded. The collapse is due to a number of factors that will be discussed in later press releases. Suffice to say, a drop in ratings and sponsor backing led to a significant drop in capital and we had to seek a solution. We apologise to, and thank with all our hearts, the years of support afforded us by WWE fans worldwide. From our humble beginnings to global domination, you’ve been there to support your favourite stars and we can’t thank you enough.

Yours in good faith,
Current Head of Public Relations,
Shane McMahon

P.S. Never say never...

----------------------------------------------------

Soon, sites and forums are rife with gossip.

“Never say never? This is a work.â€

“There were a drop in ratings, sponsors pulled away from the product, they’re losing so much money it hurts, this is legit.â€

“Check the broadcast listings, all the shows are gone except a slot that remains open for the rest of the quarter where Monday Night Raw used to be…â€

“TNA just folded too?! A dark day for professional wrestling “

----------------------------------------------------

On February 18th WWE.com finally shuts down. Links exist to the vast array of ‘classics’ on demand that companies are trying to spin money from. At the bottom of a list of links is one that simply reads www.cwfwrestling.com and nothing more. On this page is a graphic:

..and some text that reads ‘tune in to the usual place.’ That is all.

Sign Up to the CWF Roster!

In this thread post which superstar you'd like to play. If you have a particular alignment in mind that you'd particularly like to play then mention it here too. I'll be proactive in discussing with you individually the direction you'll be going but to get things kicked off an alignment would be helpful (face/heel/tweener). Thanks guys! Btw, Shane McMahon, JR, Jerry Lawler, The Rock and Kurt Angle are off limits as of this post in terms of superstars/managers but all other WWE and TNA personalities are fair game!​

Prodigy - Punk
Drez - John Cena
Andrew - Del Rio
Jay - Swagger
Purple PuNk - Edge (MIA for 2 weeks due to midterms)

CWF - The lowdown and vital info

Welcome Gentlemen to the newest venture into e-fedding landscape. My vision has finally found a home on the wrestlingsmarks forums so thank you Troy and Dod for allowing me to set this up, you guys rule.

Now, this e-fed is going to operate in the following fashions:

1) We are going to be primarily a 'trashtalking' style of fed. A lot of you will know what I mean by that but for those that dont, it is as follows. In order to win a match, you take your superstar that you play to the appropriate match thread and you partake in a free-for-all, middle of the ring style verbal exchange between the two (or more) superstars involved. For any newbies to this style, I'm sure there will be examples up quickly for you to work off of.

2) There will be a word limit to your TT's. I will outline this word limit in the rules thread but rest assured, it shan't stifle creativity and it is not in place to punish those who write freely and create large promos. It is simply to make it easier to 'mark' each match so to speak.

The show will be weekly, taking place on a Monday night (giving me the bulk of the weekend to finalise and write things) with PPVs taking place on Friday nights (in what is an odd change of scenery for PPV events).

That is all for now, that is the basics, be sure to check out how CWF 'rose from the ashes' of a professional wrestling world collapse and then sign-up with your favourite superstar!

Good luck and I hope you guys have fun!

CWF Rules

The following are the rules for the CWF

1) Word Limit​

This is quite a big deal. The TT limit is 1000 words of speech for weekly shows. I am NOT including any crowd or character interaction, poses or actions as I'd like to promote creativity. For PPV's this doubles to 2000 for speech unless it is a particularly late match announcement in which case I will alter the limits to allow for complete fairness.

2) Characters​

a) When you sign-up, consider it signing a contract and that contract lasts for 6 shows, PPV's included, from first contributory appearance (i.e. where YOU have TT'd or written a promo). These saves me calculating days. To say the least, this allows msyelf to write your character OUT of storylines and find a way to write a NEW character, should you pick one up, INTO a storyline once that <6 shows time has passed.

b) Those who no-show for TWO consecutive events (PPV's inc.) without PM'ing me or posting in the LOA thread will be cut by myself, their characters made open, and will have to sit out a period of time at y discretion depending on what reasoning you can provide.

3) WrestlingSmarks​

It is IMPERATIVE that you respect the staff we have here like you would in the other sections of the forum and abide by ALL rules outlined for those other sections because being in an e-fed section does not excuse you from the posting rules.

 

[Dod Draper]

I'll take heel Jericho.

Looking forward to this Killa, should be a lot of fun.

 

[Prodigy]

I'll go for Heel CM punk. Should be fun.

 

[Chris Dresdon]

I'll take face John Cena.

 

[Andrew]

Can I take Alberto Del Rio? Heel ofc.

 

[Brock Lesnar]

I'll take Heel Jack Swagger please

 

[Killz]

Everyone above can consider their sign-up successful! I just got in so you'll be added to the official roster later on tonight. Tell your friends etc!

Thanks guys (Y)

EDIT: Btw a personal setback means you can expect a preview in under a week and then you'll have a week to TT so the first show will be in 2 weeks time (or just shy of two weeks time depending what route I take it. Thanks for understanding homies.

 

[Killz]

I'm making Kurt Angle available to new guys now so ignore that first post, Kurt is free to pick up!

In his place I will be playing Batista.

 

[Purple PuNk]

I have always wanted to play Edge in an e-fed. I am surprised he is not taken, and since he is free I would like to play him. However I am in the middle of a midterm marathon and will be not so active for like two more weeks.

 

[Killz]

Consider yourself a member of CWF PuNk sir! Edge is yours and I'll put you on the LOA list for 2 weeks. Thanks for signing up! Any particular alignment you'd be interested in, man?

 

[Rumorz]

Chris Masters, heel.

 

[Killz]

Got ya covered broski, you're in, Masters it is. No preferential treatment though as I don't like you much <3
