It's not hard to jump from RPing to TTing and from TTing to RPing. Trust me, I did it before. I was at UWF and ACW but I was told that I do better with RPing so I went LOA in UWF and went on to become the first ever ACW World Heavyweight Champion. Later I wanted go to go back to TTing. Fuck me, I could be holding that title to this day if I didn't drop Christopher Flair. :STEEN: Just kidding. I started TTing and here I am, a TTer. Join the family, Chris!

RP'ing i find time consuming, where as trash talking is more direct and it's just what your thinking about at that moment. I defo think BGA should join us in UWF! sounds like you'll be a good addition straight away to one of the rosters.

The transfer from RPing to TTing... it isn't that hard. Its pretty much going from creating your own world to having an already prepared world and you just fill in the blanks. Like a blank canvas to a template.

UCW was my first ever experience with TTing and all I did before that was RPs. The initial transition wasn't that easy because it was still new territory but the RPers generally have more creativity and understand character development a lot better since that's what they are made to do with their own characters. And so once the initial transition is made then its pretty much easy to keep it going. Whether you shine more in one area than another... sometimes that happens but I would say that it is easier to transition from an RPer to a TTer than to go from a TTer to an RPer.

Oh yeah I made it into the Hall of Fame for both types of fedding ;)

I personally like both Rping and TTing.

I've now become a champion at both so I must be getting the hang of it, lol. But nah, TTing is more direct and, even though you don't create your own stuff, you still have to understand how the character will react to every sitch. I love Jarrett and Mick Foley...both are too much fun to pass up. Rping is my first love. I'm a writer at heart and it comes naturally. I love creating something from scratch and interacting with the others.

Beyonce, Can You Handle This? (XFW Forums)

Here's one, I only remember doing it vaguely (it was over 7 years ago!) I think this had been after I'd been away for a few months and the Fed had changed owners and I think name too. Trying to find some more but they're not labelled by character so it's not that easy.

Yeah that's why there will always be characters I will never touch because I just wouldn't be able to fully grasp them. Like a Zach Ryder or something, you won't ever see me play that sorta character because I'd just butcher it. His template is already made out and if you can't really fully understand it then it isn't going to work out well for ya. Some characters have more open ended templates like Rock, Edge, and other major talkers.

I'll always be an RPer at heart... always. But shoot I'm pretty dang good at this TTin stuff... IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLALALALALALALALALA OWWWW! Gotta stop that... but the tongue again. :p

lol! Yeah, I hate it when I but my tongue too...lol...what?

Yeah, I liked ACW, but I missed what we used to call CHAINS. The back and forth banter. It was important for character development to see them interact with the others. TTing fills that void. Wow, almost sounds spiritual! lol! nah, it's easier for me when I control the character, but, either way, you have to know the character inside and out nomatter if you made them up or ripped them off the WWE or TNA.

Yeah you know when you bite it... you can't talk proper cause it hurts so bit sounds like but :p heh yeahhhhh didn't think of that did ya :p

I'm familiar with chains, I've been in feds that have done chains and there are pros and cons to that. There are pros and cons to every type. My only thing really... is I can't trust people to use my character properly and that is because 9 times out of 10 they don't. Neither of my characters have ever drank in an RP ever. I let someone use them... there they are drinking. I have complex characters and there they are acting like simpletons. Not everyone is qualified to use everyone else's and so chains can... but then they can't work. Keeping to the individual makes development a little slower and interaction becomes very minimal which isn't too much fun. But I always hated the "off camera" RPs... cause its like what can you as an opponent do with that? You can't comment cause you weren't there, you can't say anything about it. Its like it doesn't exist.

But I always liked creating my own more cause then I can take different aspects from all over that I like and incorporate it all into one working functioning member of society :p All except Phoenix, but the depths of her inner turmoil shall never be released... that is until I finally finish writing her story :p

That's why they should never really USE your character. WE're talking about like USING EDGE in a TT. They're just there and you're hammering them. Anything beyond passive listening should be consulted...absolutely. I know what you mean though. Been on both ends of that one, eh? lol! :p

Yeah I've always been one that even if I'm just going to have someone just show up on stage, or be present I'd ask the person. Or I'd ask if they had any ideas. Typically if I have someone show up... they will either be there as a listening party or they will be the one to gain an advantage. No good to really invite someone in only to have yourself look better unless they request it. Always been my philosophy on it to keep things fair. Always looking to extend a feud and make it look good even at my expense.

Oh yeah... and just so you know... your Zack Bronko couldn't handle my Phoenix :p

BGA, if you can man, try and get some of those guys over here to UWF. Some of them seem to have some talent, if they still keep on doing this sort of thing.

Old PWM lackey [MENTION=1872]Vita[/MENTION] brought me from a totally fed-only site of about 7 members to PWM's ETW and the rest is history.

If only man, the night I stumbled upon these promos I was googling their names, character and real life, trying to track them down. Turned up a blank aside from these old relics. Shame :(
