Rules

1. This is a created (or "fake") wrester fed only.
2. Swearing, blasphemy, questioning other wrestler's parentage and so on are allowed in roleplays. However, the RP board automatically censors some words, so you might have to find a way round it.
3. Wrestlers are encouraged to RP frequently. If you have a match you must roleplay. However, we understand that its not always possible to do a roleplay, but please let us know if you will be unable to participate at any time.
4. There is no set minimum or maximum size for roleplays.
5. The deadline for the roleplays is the day before the event is due to be posted
6. No one may use a wrestler that they don't handle in a roleplay without recieving permission in advance from the person who handles who is being used. This also applies to the President and Commisioner.

Hints & Tips

• Please refrain from changing a match that has been booked. If you would like anything altered or a stipulation added please contact the President or Commisioner furst.
• Please try and focus on one event at a time, and concentrate on beating whoever you are fighting this week before you start making threats for next week.
• One of the most important factors in The AWW is angles, so please try and get involved in some.
• Get out more - a worryingly large number of wrestlers seem to be hanging around the arena on a daily basis, and seem to bring their own crowds with you too. May I take this opportunity to remind you that while you are welcome to drop by the arena at any time to use the training facilities or speak to senior staff, we only have one live event a week?
  On all days apart from event days there isn't a crowd here. Interviews can,
  and should, be conducted outside of the arena.
• Should you wish to do an In-ring promo, or backstage segment, these can be done and included in the results. Please email your segment to us and we'll do our best to include it.

Above all, remember that E-Feds are meant to be fun.
Should anyone have any more questions, just ask.

What is the AWWE?

The AWWE began life as the AWW, the official E-Fed of the usenet newsgroup alt.wrestling.wwf, but has grown to become one of the most unique feds on the Internet. Where else can you find a Commissioner who is an inflatable sheep? Where else will you be booked in a match against a brown paper bag? Nowhere but the AWWE. Unless people have been stealing our ideas, or you have a time machine to go back to the original AWW E-fed of course, in that case, The Kurgan would like to ask you nicely to give him the time drive back, and to not borrow it again.

What style does the AWWE use?

There are no guidelines on how to roleplay, other than what is described in the rules. All I ask is that your roleplay be understandable. Try to avoid simple spelling and grammar errors, as these makes your roleplays difficult to read & understand. Most importantly of all, read the rules!

How are matches decided?

AWWE is, as e-wrestling should be, a booked e-fed. As with most feds, there are a few factors that decide if you'll win or lose, and they all have varying degrees of importance. They are:
1. Roleplays
2. In-Rings/On-Show Segments
3. Angles/Heat

Roleplays.
This really is the key to e-wrestling, the thing that makes e-wrestling so. This is your chance to put your character across: what's he thinking? what's he doing? what's he feeling? what's he planning? is it his round? The better you put him across here, the better everyone in the fed understands him, the more heat he gets, the more successful he becomes. As a rule, the best Roleplayers are the ones who do best in e-wrestling, but two other factors also play a big role.

In-Rings/On-Show Segments
A good way to get any extra points across from your character is to do an in-ring, or a backstage segment for the show. It shows extra effort, and it goes towards making the show more enjoyable and a better read for everyone. However, it is worth noting that these aren't necessary, and a pointless segment designed just to curry favor won't work. Sorry.

Angles/Heat
Angles are the lifeblood of wrestling, both e and "real". A well worked angle can see a character shoot way up the card and into title contention. AWWE actively encourages handlers to talk to other handlers in order to create angles, which add to the whole atmosphere of the show.

What shows does AWWE run?

AWWE Revolution
The main show of AWWe, our equivalent of Raw. It should feature well-written matches, angle work, and anything else that you might expect to see on a wrestling show. In reality it is often late, but, hey, it gets there eventually

PPVs
This is what all of your work builds up to, the big extravaganzas that occur every 4/5 times a year (depending on how things go along). Here, we are looking at amazing matches, explosive blow-offs to feuds, top-line clashes, and everything else you'd expect from a PPV.

Who's who in AWWE?

President : Taffy
Commissioner : Flossie the inflatable sheep
Announce Team : Steve 'Diamond' White and Darren 'Ruby' Tuesday

What titles does AWWE recognise?

World Title
The major title in the federation. This is the biggest honor for any wrestler in the federation, usually gained by hard work and resilience. Has however been gained by screwjobs involving a former co-president and a Panda costume.

European Title
The federation's secondary title, not as prestigious as the World title, but still a major accomplishment.

Vague Title
The only title of its kind in all of Wrestling. No one is ever entirely sure what goes on in a Vague Rules match, but they are pretty unusual to say the least. This is the hardest title in the AWWE to defend, but probably the easiest to win, due to the Vague nature of the matches used to decide its Champion.

Bar Room Brawl Title
Formerly the Pub Fight Title, before that the Hardcore Title. won and lost in Hardcore matches in the AWWE bar, hence why it's called the Bar Room Brawl Title. Need I say any more?

Tag Team Titles
Self explanatory really, isn't it?

Faroe Islands Title
The AWWE equivalent of a Cruiserweight or light-Heavyweight Title, this belt can be contested by any member of the roster who weighs under 230lbs. Arguably the second most prestigious belt in the AWWE, usually argued by the holder of the Faroe Islands Belt, and usually denied by the holders of the European Title, the Vague Title, the Bar Room Brawl Title, and the Tag Team Titles.

How much do I need to participate in AWWE?

Really you should roleplay as often as possible. Failing to roleplay when you have a match guarantees defeat.
I understand that, in some weeks, you may be unable to roleplay for whatever reason. However, if this is going to be so, I'd appreciate you telling me so in advance. Wrestlers who never roleplay just take up valuable roster space. Failure to roleplay will result in your character being publicly humiliated, and very probably having acts of violence carried out on them.

What limits are there on Roleplays?

Not the normal ones:

a) Swearing is allowed. I do however recommend it isn't used profusely, as that just makes you look like a bit of an idiot. Despite what you may have heard, swearing is indeed both big & clever, just like smoking is. However, much like smoking through a hole in your throat is going a bit too far, and is no longer cool, so is swearing just for the sake of it. And if you can't understand that, then you are a fuckwit.
b) Racism, while not strictly banned, isn't a good idea. When used correctly it can be entertaining, but finding a way to use it correctly is like finding a way to ram a wasps nest up your own anus correctly.
c) Questioning the sexuality of other wrestlers is not in any way discouraged, in fact, it is encouraged more than anything. The same advice applies to this as to swearing though. Don't use it too much, or quite frankly, you'll just look a bit pathetic.
c) Don't use other people's characters without their prior permission. This includes the President, the Commissioner, and other peoples managers & entourage. Interviewers obviously can be used, if there are any in the fed you want to use, use them, or, create your own if you feel like it.

For a full explanation check out the rules, but, to get this far, you will have passed the rules, so you probably read them there

Booking policy

Everyone paying attention? Good, because this is important.

YOU WILL LOSE!!

If you want to come in with a Goldberg style character, who never loses, or you want to win a title in your debut match, I only have one thing to say...

..Fat chance.

If you can't handle the idea of losing a match, or you feel that it would be a personal insult if you did anything less than win the World Title in a squash for your first match, do not fill out an application. We DO NOT want a major headache because someone lost a match. This is the part about being a fedhead that we hate the most. Can't we all just get along?

Just think of the federation as a big soap opera. The people who have the best story-line going on get the most airtime on the show. Those who don't, don't get very much time. So, the people who have the best angles, and role-plays, will get the airtime, in other words, win. So, write like (Add favorite author here, in my case, Terry Pratchett), and you should be all right!

There are two sure fire ways to ensure that you DO lose as many of your matches as possible:
1. Complain about losing, in Email, on the OOC Board, on MSN and so on. Moan to me about losing and you'd better prepare to do a lot more of it.
2. Submit an angle to me that states "Let me win the title", even though I covered this just a few lines up. Umm, no. I don't think so, if there is an angle that asks this, then prepare to job.

How do I join?

If, after reading the Rules And FAQ page, you decide that the AWWE sounds groovy, then either fill out an application form, or send the prez an e-mail. After reviewing your application, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Applications

Your application is, unsurprisingly, the key to getting employed in AWWE. The better the application, the more likely you are to be accepted in the fed.
For most handlers, all I have to go on gauging how useful you will be to the fed is this application, so it is vital that you take time and care in filling it in.
In order to make the application as easy to fill in as possible there are explanations and hints throughout it. Do us all a a favor and read them.
If there is anything else you would like to let me know that isn't included in the application, for example your history as an e-wrestlers, what titles you have won and where, and so on, then please feel free to Email this information to me. Also, if you have any other problems with filling out the form, or have any questions to ask that aren't covered in the rules or FAQ, then don't hesitate to contact me.
