Sign Up WWE: RAW is WAR

[Shinmaru]

This is my first created RPG, so don't be too harsh with me if I'm asking for too much. In this RPG, I hope to get enough people to simulate a whole season (and maybe beyond) of WWE wrestling. I've spent a lot of time thinking this through, but I'm always open to help and suggestions; just PM me if you have a good idea.

Each person that participates in this RPG will choose two wrestlers; one from RAW and one from Smackdown, unless they want to be a GM (either Eric Bischoff, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Stephanie McMahon or Vince McMahon). If you choose a GM, then that will be the only person that you will be able to choose since GMs have the most responsibility (which will be discussed later). Since not enough people have been joining, I will accept people being a GM along with a wrestler if they think they can handle the responsibility.

After you choose your two wrestlers, you must write you sign-up sheet like so:

Name:
Height:
Weight:
Championships (optional): Championship name (number of times wrestler has won championship) (Note: Please limit championships to titles won at WWE/WWF, ECW and WCW)
Set-Up Finisher (if applicable):
Finisher:
Status: (Heel or Face)
Class: (Cruiserweight or Heavyweight)
Style: (High-flier (Ex: RVD), Technical (Ex: Kurt Angle), Power (Ex: Kevin Nash), or Balanced (Ex: The Rock))
Bio:

Wrestlers will be chosen on a first come, first serve basis. If a wrestler has been chosen, then they can't be chosen by another person. Read through [b]every[/b] sign-up sheet to make sure that you aren't choosing a wrestler that's already been chosen. Wrestlers who are not currently employed by the WWE will only be chosen under two circumstances: 1) If [b]every[/b] WWE wrestler is taken and we still have people who want to participate in this RPG or 2) If you can PM me and give a good reason as to why you should use a wrestler not currently employed by the WWE (Ex: You have a good story line for them), then I will consider it. If you want to play as a wrestler not employed by the WWE, they must have, at one point in their careers, wrestled for the WWE/WWF, ECW, or WCW.

GM Responsibility: It is the responsibility of the GMs to set up the shows (RAW and Smackdown) and to set up Pay-Per-Views. The GMs will create matches and handle much of the storylines. However, since it is unfair to shoulder the GMs with the entire load, it is also the responsibility of the participants to help create storylines for your wrestlers. Communication (via AIM, YIM, PM and/or e-mail) with your GMs and fellow wrestlers is not only highly recommended but practically a neccessity if this RPG is to be used to its full potential. GMs will be asked to inform wrestlers when their matches will be and they will also tell people who are doing promos, locker room altercations, etc. when those will occur as well. GMs will also be asked to post a show schedule in this fashion to avoid confusion:

Match (name wrestlers involved)
Match
Promo
Match (as a result of promo)
Promo
Main Event

And so on. This way, people will know when to post their part of the show. Also, even though GMs will decide the outcome of matches, it is up to the wrestlers to decide exactly how to arrive at that outcome.

(Note: If somebody can think of a better way to post the matches to let people know when to post and keep the matches a surprise, please do not hesitate to PM me and inform me of it.)

Multiple Wrestlers: If not enough people join up in this RPG, then it is possible for people to have more than two wrestlers, but those are the only circumstances for which this will be allowed unless someone quits the RPG.

Switching Brands: Switching brands is allowed and is encouraged (if it's reasonable and one brand doesn't have too many wrestlers) because I like the way it shakes things up, heh.

Trading Wrestlers: If you are unable to do anything more with your wrestler(s), it is suggested that you negotiate to trader for another wrestler, rather than abandon the RPG. If your wrestlers are abandoned, then they will be picked up by a person new to the RPG or another person(s) willing to take them on. Also, if you are going to quit the RPG, please PM me, so that I can announce that your wrestlers are available to take on.

Titles: These will be the titles for each brand:

[b][u]RAW[/b][/u]

World Championship (currently held by Triple H)
Intercontinental Championship (currently held by Booker T.)
World Tag Team Championship (currently held by La Resistance)
Women's Championship (currently held by Molly Holly)
Hardcore Championship (brought back for RPG)

[b][u]Smackdown[/b][/u]

WWE Championship (currently held by Kurt Angle)
U.S. Championship (currently held by Eddy Guerrero)
WWE Tag Team Championship (currently held by Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin)
Cruiserweight Championship (currently held by Rey Mysterio Jr.)
Television Title (brought back for RPG)

Whoever signs up as the holder of each title will also inherit that title. The GMs will create matches for the open titles and decide the #1 contenders.

Note: If anybody else has anything that they feel should be added to this, feel free to PM me. I could use all the help I can get. And now, my sign-up sheet:

[b][u]RAW[/b][/u]

Name: "Y2J" Chris Jericho
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 231 lbs.
Championships: World Champion (1), WCW Cruiserweight Champion (5), European Champion (1), Intercontinental Champion (4), WWE Tag Team Champion (2), WWE Champion (1), Television Champion (1), Hardcore Champion (1)
Set-Up Finisher: Lionsault
Finisher: The Walls of Jericho
Status: Heel
Class: Heavyweight
Style: Balanced
Bio: Y2J has done it all: he's held nearly ever major WWE title, he's one of the WWEs best wrestlers, he even has his own segment of RAW, the Highlight Reel. However, it's been a while since Chris has worn gold around his waist and he's eager to prove himself once again. Jericho is well known around wrestling circles as a charismatic wrestler and it shows whether he's with or against the fans.

[b][u]Smackdown![/b][/u]

Name: Edge
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 220 lbs.
Championships: WWE Tag Team Champion (7), Intercontinental Champion (4), WCW U.S. Champion (1)
Set-Up Finisher: Spear
Finisher: Edgecution
Status: Face
Class: Heavyweight
Style: High-Flier
Bio: Edge has been out for a while with injuries, but he's finally back! Before he was hurt, he was one of the top contenders for the WWE Title and now he's ready to finally take it. Edge is well known as one the WWEs greatest high-flier's (as shown when he was Christian's tag team partner) and he can easily back up that claim.

And that's it. Remember, suggestions to improve this RPG are always welcome; just PM me if you have any questions.

To make it easier to see who has which wrestler without having to check out every single sign-up sheet, I have added this list.

Sign-Up List:

mirai_torankusu - "Y2J" Chris Jericho, Eric Bischoff (GM of RAW), Edge and Chris Kanyon
Shippo - Triple H, Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Billy Kidman
Shinobi1827 - Rob Van Dam and Brock Lesnar
G/S/B Master - Booker T. and Ultimo Dragon
Avalon - Stephanie McMahon (GM of Smackdown!)
Schrat - The Rock and Kurt Angle
oekakiotaku - Gail Kim and Rey Mysterio Jr.
The Vampire: Ed - Kane and Matt Hardy Version 1.0
nightwingfan - Hurricane and Chris Benoit
the spiegal - Theodore Long and Funaki
Galvatron - Eddy Guerrero and Shawn Michaels
GhostofSalvtore - Stone Cold Steve Austin (GM of RAW) and John Cena

This is the official list so far, people! There are still plenty of spots available, so sign up to get the wrestlers you want! And I am still in dire need of GMs. I don't want to have to take up a GM spot in addition to my wrestlers (because I really don't want to give up Jericho and Edge), but I'll take up a GM spot if it comes to that.

EDIT: 7/9/03 - Added Sign-Up List
EDIT: 7/12/03 - First GM! Woo!
EDIT: 7/20/03 - Two new members! *Ric Flair style* Woo!
EDIT: 7/30/03 - Added some more rules and made an announcement.
EDIT: 8/3/03 - Made another announcement and updated the Championship list. Also got rid of rule that said that a champion's first match had to be against the #1 Contender for the title.

[b]RAW[/b]

Name: Triple H

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 260 lbs.

Championships: Ill have to get back to you on that...

Set-Up Finisher: Ill have to get back to you on that...

Finisher: Pedigree

Status: Heel

Class: Heavyweight

Style: Balanced

Bio: Since making his WWE debut in the spring of 1995 (as Hunter Hearst Helmsley), Triple H has done it all in the sports-entertainment industry. He's the only man in the history of the business to have been a Grand Slam Champion and to have won both a King of the Ring and a Royal Rumble.


[b]Smackdown[/b]

Name: Billy Kidman

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 195 lbs.

Championships: Ill have to get back to you on that...

Set-Up Finisher: Ill have to get back to you on that...

Finisher: Shooting Star Press

Status: Face

Class: Cruserweight

Style: High-flyer

Bio: Billy Kidman is one of the elite superstars spearheading the resurgence of the cruiserweight division in WWE. While he is an experienced and methodical grappling technician, Kidman is known for his quickness and aerial expertise. One look at his Shooting Star Press is enough to realize that Kidman has the explosiveness to make a big mark in sports entertainment.

Raw:

[b]NAME:[/b] RVD

[b]HEIGHT:[/b] 6'0".

[b]WEIGHT:[/b] 237 lbs.

[b]CHAMPIONSHIPS HELD:[/b] ECW World Television championship, ECW World Tag Team championship (with Sabu).

[b]Set-Up Finisher (if applicable):[/b] None that i know of..

[b]Finisher:[/b] The Van Daminator, 5-Star Frog Splash

[b]Status:[/b] Face

[b]Class:[/b] Lightweight...i think..

[b]Style:[/b] HighFlier

[b]Bio:[/b]Perhaps the most athletically gifted wrestler in the business today, Rob Van Dam wrestles like a mat veteran, performs aerial high-spots like a Luchadore and is well versed in Martial Arts to boot. Van Dam's time in ECW has seen him go from being the company's top heel to their top baby face.

Always full of bravado and never lacking in self-confidence Van Dam is a wrestling machine. Partnered with sometimes rival Sabu, Van Dam has run roughshod over almost everyone he's faced in ECW including memorable matches with Tommy Dreamer, his partner Sabu and his current feud with Jerry Lynn. Not content to use the same moves constantly, Van Dam is always adding new wrinkles to his repertoire his unbelievable Five Star Frog Splash is proof of that.

Although somewhat of a pretty boy in his appearance, Van Dam never shies away from going to the extreme and while Tommy Dreamer's tag may be "the innovator of violence" Van Dam is ready to steal it at a moment's notice. No one leaps into the crowd like Van Dam (save maybe Sabu) and his variations on the use of chairs and tables - not to mention guard rails - is something to be admired. RVD is also the owner of an unblemished pay-per-view record and has held the TV title for well over a year and running. As amazing as it may sound, RVD is still in his twenties and has yet to come into his own in the sport of wrestling, although with his talents, it is only a matter of time.

EDIT: found oput what show RPV is on.....

Smackdown!:

[b]Name:[/b]Brock Lesner

[b]Height:[/b] 6' 4"

[b]Weight:[/b] 295 pounds

[b]Championships Held:[/b] WWE Champion

[b]Set-up Finisher (if applicable):[/b] N/A

[b]Finisher:[/b] F-5

[b]Status:[/b] Hmm..i think face. I like 'em!

[b]Style:[/b] All around

[b]Class:[/b] heavyweight

[b]Bio:[/b]At 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, Brock Lesnar is a rock-solid mountain of chiseled muscle, a Superstar who was seemingly destined to accomplish great things in WWE. Brock lived up to the hype by defeating none other than The Rock at SummerSlam to become the youngest WWE Undisputed Champion ever!
Lesnar has already made an impact in the amateur sporting world. He become an NJCAA Champion in 1998. He transferred to the University of Minnesota and promptly won the Big 10 Championship, but was a runner-up in the NCAA Tournament. He capped off his senior season by again winning the Big 10 Championship and then securing the NCAA heavyweight title. In 2000, Lesnar signed a developmental contract with WWE and began to learn the professional game at Ohio Valley Wrestling in Louisville, Ky. In doing so, he turned down opportunities to try out with several NFL teams.

In perhaps his most amazing display of strength and athleticism, Lesnar hit his devastating finisher, the F-5, on the 7-foot-2, 500-pound Big Show. That's a feat made even more unbelievable by the fact that the former champ was suffering from a broken rib at the time! With that kind of drive and dedication, Brock Lesnar will be a perennial contender for the WWE Championship.

[G/S/B Master]

If you know wrestling, RVD set up finisher is the 5-star frog splash and Kidman's is also the Shooting Star press.

RAW

Name: Booker T
Height: 6'3
Weight: 250 lb
Championships (optional): WCW Champion(5x), WCW U.S. Champion; WCW Television Champion; WCW Tag Team Champion; Intercontinental Champion; WWE World Tag Team Champion
Set-Up Finisher: Scissors Kick
Finisher: Scissors Kick
Status: Heel
Class: Heavyweight
Style: Balence
Bio: Booker T came into WWE and quickly established himself as one of its top superstars. The Bookerman continues to pride himself on his success in WCW, where he held the WCW Championship on five occasions. In fact, Booker is the most decorated man in WCW history -- altogether, he held 22 WCW titles!

Since coming to WWE, Booker has given fans no reason to doubt that his success here will dwarf the success he was able to garner in WCW. Already, the Houston native has competed in numerous main events, including WrestleMania XIX, and has captured the World Tag Team Championship.

In addition to his nearly unparalleled in-ring ability, Booker T is also a master showman. Each week on RAW, fans hang on his every word, waiting for their opportunity to scream along with him... "SUCKA!" And regardless of the city, Booker's Spin-a-roony blows the roof off of every arena it graces.

Name: Ultimo Dragon
Height: 5'8
Weight: 185 lb
Championships: WCW Cruiserweight Champion, WCW Television Champion
Set-Up Finisher (if applicable): N/A
Finisher: N/A
Status: Face
Class: Cruiserweight
Style: High-Fler/Technical ( after seeing all his matches it's hard to decide)
Bio:
Ultimo Dragon is one of the greatest international competitors ever to hit WWE. With a background in kung fu, kempo karate and kickboxing, he?s also one of WWE?s most innovative in-ring competitors. He?s the inventor of several maneuvers, including the Asai moonsault.
Dragon spent years competing around the world and developing a reputation as one of the best in the game. WWE was the one place he had never appeared, until he made his highly anticipated debut in the summer of 2003. Dragon grew up watching the original Tiger Mask defend WWE's now-defunct Junior Heavyweight Championship all across the world, including at Madison Square Garden. Since then, he'd dreamed about performing at the "World's Most Famous Arena," a dream which has finally come true. His goal of wrestling at MSG played a big part in his decision to return to action, despite calling it quits for several years due to nerve damage in his arm that at one point seemed to be career-ending.

Born in Japan, Ultimo Dragon has lived for the last several years in Mexico City. (Today he has a wrestling school in each country.) Dragon himself began training for sports entertainment in his native country at age 18. Soon after, he moved to Mexico, where his career took off. He traveled back and forth from Mexico to Japan repeatedly throughout the early to mid-1990s, winning numerous titles in the process. By 1996, he was also wrestling in WCW. After he won gold in that organization, he held 10 championships at the same time; he?s possibly the only competitor in history who can claim such a feature.

[Nate]

Name: Stephanie Marie McMahon

Height: 5'9

Weight: 135 lbs

Championships: Woman's championship (March 30, 2000 - August 21, 2000)

Finisher: B****slap

Status: *I think she's a heel, since she's mostly seen as "the bad guy"

Class: *Wouldn't know myself...

Style: *Again, clueless...

Bio: No longer the manipulative bride of Triple H, Stephanie has begun a whole new chapter in her controversial career. She is now the General Manager of SmackDown!, waging war on a weekly basis with Raw GM Eric Bischoff in an attempt to make sure her show is the best in sports-entertainment.

She once tried to put her father out of business by purchasing ECW and making it part of the Alliance, and paid the price by being forced off WWE television for many months. But now she's back, and ready to prove once and for all that she is WWE's dominant female.

[Schrat]

Wow, I havent been to OB in such a long time, but a Wrestlign RPG is definitly worth it! Woooooooooooo

[b]RAW[/b]

[i]THE ROCK [/i]
Height: 6' 5"
Weight: 260 pounds
From: Miami, Florida
Favorite Quote: "If you smell what The Rock is cookin'!"
Finishing Move: Rock Bottom; People's Elbow
Career Highlights: WWE Champion; Intercontinental Champion; WWE World Tag Team Champion; 2000 Royal Rumble winner; WCW Champion

He's the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. The People's Champion. The Great One.
Call him whatever you want, but to millions of fans around the world, there is no substitute for The Rock.

From the moment his music hits to the time he leaves the arena, The Rock leaves fans on the edge of their seats. A multi-time WWE Champion, The Rock has what it takes to layeth the smacketh down in the ring, leaving his opponent laying. The Rock also has a penchant on the microphone, dazzling fans with his quit wit and his ability to talk smack. You don't want to get in the Brahma Bull's way.

Rock is also a media superstar, having starred in the feature film "The Mummy Returns," and its hugely successful prequel, "The Scorpion King." His autobiography, "The Rock Says ..." was a New York Times No. 1 best-seller. The Rock has several other major motion picture deals in the works.

[b]Smackdown[/b]

[i]KURT ANGLE[/i]
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 220 pounds
From: Pittsburgh
Finishing Move: Angle Slam/ankle lock
Career Highlights: WWE Champion; WWE Tag Team Champion; Intercontinental Champion; European Champion; Hardcore Champion; 2000 King of the Ring


Kurt Angle captured national attention in 1996 when he won the 220-pound freestyle wrestling competition at the Olympic Games in Atlanta. And the extraordinarily proud Angle -- some would say conceited -- surely won't let anyone forget about it!
When the crowd has the audacity not to cheer for him, Kurt wonders aloud how anyone can boo an Olympic gold medalist.

In 2000 -- Angle's first full year in World Wrestling Entertainment -- the Pittsburgh native had one of the best rookie campaigns in history. After winning the European and Intercontinental titles, Kurt took 2000 King of the Ring crown. Then, in October, he won the WWE Championship, defeating The Rock at No Mercy.

The momentum did not stop in 2001. Angle won the WWE Championship for a second time -- beating Stone Cold Steve Austin in Angle's hometown -- as well as the WCW Title. In 2002, SmackDown! General Manager Stephanie McMahon created a WWE Tag Team Championship. Angle was forced to team up with Chris Benoit, and even though the duo didn't get along, they won the tournament to become the champions.

Whether the crowd is chanting "Angle! Angle!" as they did that night in Pittsburgh, or, more likely, "You suck! You suck!" there's no denying Kurt Angle's accomplishments. When it's all said and done, Angle could go down in history as the greatest of all time. Oh, it's damn true!

[Eclectic]

Wrestling! I'm happy now. For smackdown, I'm considering being my newest hero, Zach Gowen. ^_^ I know most of this is blank. That's because I'm not at home. I'll edit this later today.

[The Vampire: Ed]

I could get to like this RPG, since I have been apart of many e-feds in my time this should be no problem for me. Count me in.

[b][u]RAW[/b][/u]

[img]http://www.wweraw.com/superstars/kane/images/kane_ss.jpg[/img]

Name: Kane
Height: 7'
Weight: 326 lbs.
Championships: WWE Champion; Intercontinental Champion; WWE World Tag Team Champion; WCW Tag Team Champion; Hardcore Champion
Set-Up Finisher: Usually, the flying clothesline from the top rope.
Finisher: Chokeslam to Hell
Status: Heel
Class: Heavyweight
Style: Powerhouse, Brawler
Bio: No Superstar in history has made more of an immediate impact than Kane. On October 5, 1997, the world met Kane, as the seven-foot monster tore off the door to "Hell in the Cell" in order to get to his brother, the Undertaker. The siblings later fought in the first-ever Inferno Match! Less than one year after he arrived, Kane became the WWE Champion by defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin at the 1998 King of the Ring. Though his reign was short-lived, the seven-foot monster proved he could live up to all expectations.Since then, Kane has been a Tag Team Champion on numerous occasions. Once a man of no emotion, Kane has somewhat broken out of his shell. However, the Big Red Monster still remains a monster in the ring.

Name: Matt Hardy
Height: 6'2"

Set-Up Finisher: Side Effect or Version 1 Leg Drop

Style: High-Flier
Bio: The Hardy Boyz forever inscribed their names in the annals of WWE history with their breath-taking performance in the Ladder Match at October 1999's No Mercy Pay-Per-View, when they defeated Edge and Christian in a ladder match. Since then, the Hardys have been a part of nearly every memorable tag team match WWE has put on, including the infamous TLC Match from SummerSlam 2000.The brothers have since gone their separate ways. Recently on RAW, Matt, jealous that Jeff got a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, turned on his brother, costing him the match. Matt completely severed ties between the two when he jumped to SmackDown! shortly after.

[Guest nightwingfan]

I'm new, but, here it goes:

Raw:

Hurricane
Height:6'o"
Weight:191 lbs
titles held: WCW cruiserweight title, WCW hardcore Championship,WWE tag titles, WWE Hardcore championship, WWe Cruiserweight championship, WWE European Championship

Set-up: Eye of the Hurricane
Finisher: Shining Wizard
Status:Face
Class: Cruiserweight, but, Hurricane has proven to be a contender in the Main event scene.

Style: High Flier


Bio:
After showing up on Smackdown as a true to life Superhero for the Alliance, Hurricane ha sbeen stuck in meaningless fueds ever since. Until this year where Hurricane showed the WWE what he was all about by defeating the Rock in a stellar match and getting close to winning the world title from HHH. Whether it be entertaining fans with his funny skits or making fans jump out of their seats with great matches, Hurricane has shown that he is a force to be reckoned with in every category, even in the World Heavyweight title scene. STAND BACK, THERE'S A HURRICANE COMING THROUH!!!

Smackdown:

Benoit
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 229 lbs.
titles held: WCW cruiserweight title, WCW Tv Title, WCW US title, WCW World heavyweight title, ECW Tag team title, WWF IC Title, WWF tag title. WWE US title is eyt to be decided.

Set-up: None really, it's a move he does out of no where. if anything, eithe rthe swandive headbutt or the multiple German Suplexes.

Finisher: Crippler Crossface
Status: Face
Class: Heavyweight
Style: Technical

Bio:
What can I say about this man? He first made a name for himself by wrestling as Wild Pegasus in Japan. He shook up ECW when he arrived by winning the ECW tag titles with a person who would later become a 4Horsemen brother, Dean Malenko. He arrived to WCW and joined the 4Horsemen. His fueds with "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan, and Dean Malenko were great. So were his fueds with Booker T and Jeff Jarrett. His intensity always brought out something special in every match he was involved in. He would come to WWE after getting sick of WCW, and would have Stellar to Superb fueds with rivals, Chris Jericho, and Kurt Angle. Especially the fueds concerning the IC title(i.e. Wrestlemania 2000, for further proof). Benoit ahs gotten close to winning the World title, but was never able to do so. The time is ripe for Chris Benoit to sit above hsi throne and conquer the WWE, Once and For All. Welcome to the age of Toothless Aggression.

[Guest Ooder]

[color=green]
[B]RAW[/B]
Name: Theodore Long
Height: 5'9
Weight: 166
Set-Up Finisher : *gets on knees and pleads for mercy*
Finisher: Low Blow
Status: Heel
Class: Manager
Style: N/A
Bio: I use to be a ref. by the name of teddy long. Now i do managerial services for Rodney Mack! Belive that!

[B]SMACKDOWN[/B]
Name: Funaki
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Championships: Hardcore Champion
Finisher: torando ddt (almost sure)
Status: Face
Class: Cruiserweight
Style: High-Flyer
Bio: In addition to his wrestling ability, Funaki has shown that he can entertain. In the summer of 2002, SmackDown! General Manager Stephanie McMahon hired Funaki to be an announcer on the Thursday night UPN broadcast. Immediately, Funaki gleefully dubbed himself SmackDown!'s "No. 1 announcer!"
Funaki will go to great lengths to get the scoop for WWE fans -- even if it means going into the women's locker room! He's also not afraid to ask the tough questions. He got the first interview with Al Wilson, Torrie Wilson's father, after Al was caught in the shower with Dawn Marie! Rumor has it, Barbara Walters was green with envy that Funaki got that exclusive scoop.

Funaki also has something that no other "No. 1 announcer" has -- wrestling ability. The high-flying Superstar is a perennial contender for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Just as he'll go "where no man has gone before" to get an interview, he'll put his body on the line if it means achieving victory in the ring.

[Galvatron]

I'll join up as The Rock i'll post the stats later along for Kurt Angle on smackdown.

[Shinmaru]

Well, all is slow on the GM front (except for Avalon signing up as Stephanie McMahon - thanks Avalon!), so I've decided to take on GM responsibilities along with my two wrestlers. Here's my sign-up sheet:

Name: Eric Bischoff
Height: n/a
Weight: n/a
Championships: None
Set-Up Finisher: Probably a karate chop
Finisher: Judo Kick
Status: Heel
Class: GM
Style: Bischoff has no style.
Bio: Eric Bischoff was flying high as the head of WCW when it was bought out by Vince McMahon of the WWE a few years ago. Many people wondering where Eric would go, when it was revealed that he would be the new GM of RAW! Bischoff has repeatedly abused his GM powers, which led Linda McMahon to hire Stone Cold Steve Austin as Bischoff's co-GM! How long can this partnership between Bischoff and Stone Cold really last?

Remember, there are still lots of wrestlers available (Goldberg is still available?! And why hasn't John Cena been taken yet?!), so you can still get a great wrestler if you sign up quickly. And to answer the question, I don't know when we'll start. We still need more people to sign up, because not all of the major wrestlers have been taken up yet. We can do without some of the minor ones, but I think we should have all the major ones taken before we start this up.

[G/S/B Master]

Can I take up GOldberg Along with my 2 wrestlers? Or should I switch.

[Shinmaru]

You know what, if more people don't sign up, then I'll probably end up lifting the two wrestler limit. As long as you take someone from Smackdown! as well, then I have no problem with you taking another wrestler as long as you can deal with having more than two. But you can also switch if you feel like it. Just edit your original sheet instead of posting a new one.

[Galvatron]

EDDIE GUERRERO

Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 220 pounds
From: El Paso, Texas
Finishing Moves: Frog Splash/Lasso from El Paso
Career Highlights: European Champion; Intercontinental Champion; WWE Tag Team Champion; WCW Cruiserweight Champion; WCW U.S. Champion



Eddie Guerrero returned to WWE and made an immediate impact by winning the Intercontinental Championship at Backlash.
Guerrero uses a wide range of offensive maneuvers. Growing up in a family of wrestlers exposed him to the craft at an early age. He's equally adept at grappling on the mat or sailing off the turnbuckle to deliver his signature Frog Splash. Although other Superstars may use a form of the Frog Splash, Eddie maintains that his finisher surpasses everyone else's.

Whether it's in singles action or teaming up with his nephew Chavo, there is always one constant with Eddie Guerrero -- cheat to win!


For Raw I'll shall be

SHAWN MICHAELS
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 225

He's one of the most charismatic showmen ever to grace a WWE ring. He was WWE's most resilient champion. Pound-for-pound, he may be the company's toughest.

If a back injury hadn't hampered Shawn Michaels' in-ring career, there's no telling what the "Heartbreak Kid" would have accomplished. As it was, he accomplished more than anyone at the time. He was the first Grand Slam Champion -- the only competitor to hold every title WWE had to offer then. At 225 pounds, he somehow managed to win the WWE Championship on three occasions, defeating men close to twice his size along the way. One of the keys to his success was that Michaels would put his body on the line. He participated in the first (and, many say, most exciting) Hell in a Cell match, against the Undertaker. There were Ladder Matches. But even in "regular matches" (if there was ever such a thing with Shawn), HBK was intent on being "the Showstoppa, the main-eventer, the icon." It took its toll on his long-term health. Still in his early 30s, when most superstars are hitting their prime, Michaels had to bow out of the spotlight after losing the title to Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania XIV in March 1998. Soon he had surgery to take away the pain, but officially end his in-ring career, or so it was thought.

But Michaels doesn't necessarily have to lace up the wrestling boots to be an instrumental part of WWE programming. One of the most natural "talkers" in history, he has the ability to rile up fans and fellow superstars simply by grabbing a microphone. Remember, Michaels was one of the founding members of D-Generation X, perhaps the most notorious faction in sports-entertainment history. They had as many memorable moments outside the ring as they did inside the ring. And Michaels remained one of the most popular superstars when he returned on a regular basis in November 1998, even though it was in a non-wrestling capacity as commissioner off WWE. But for a variety of reasons, Michaels resigned as commissioner in 2000, and has been rarely seen by WWE audiences since.

Perhaps the best indication of the impact that HBK made on the business was the reaction he received on June 3, 2002, live on RAW, when he was introduced as the newest members of another controversial faction, the nWo. Fans at the American Airlines Arena cheered because they were happy to see him, or jeered because they were shocked he was joining the nWo. But they were all on their feet, as they seemingly always are when HBK's "Sexy Boy" theme song hits. Luckily for HBK fans everywhere, the nWo folded soon after. Michaels then moved on to a successful singles run, highlighted by a victory a Survivor Series where he captured the World Heavyweight Championship.

Name:Stone Cod Steve Austin
Height:6'2
Weight:252 lbs
Championships (optional): WWE Champion; Intercontinental Champion; WWE World Tag Team Champion; King Of The Ring 1996; 1997, 1998, 2001 Royal Rumble winner; WCW U.S. Champion; WCW Tag Team Champion
Set-Up Finisher (if applicable):um.....kick to stomach?
Finisher:Stone Cold Stunner
Status: (Heel or Face) Face
Class: Heavyweight
Style:Well he is more of a brawler, but I guess balanced would be it.
Bio: Stone Cold Steve Austin is arguably the greatest Superstar in the history of WWE. A six-time WWE Champion, the Texas Rattlesnake has highlighted three WrestleMania events, won the Royal Rumble match three times, and has had memorable matches against the greatest superstars in the game.

Austin's era of greatness began at the 1996 King of the Ring. After winning the tournament, Austin coined the phrase, "Austin 3:16," which says that "I just whipped your a**!" He would go on to win his first WWE Championship at WrestleMania XIV in 1998 with some help from boxer Mike Tyson, and would then segue into the infamous "Austin vs. McMahon" feud, which propelled sports-entertainment into the stratosphere.

After returning from a career-threatening neck injury in 2000, the Rattlesnake quickly climbed back to the top of the World Wrestling, culminating in his WWE Championship win over The Rock at WrestleMania X-Seven, in front of 67,925 of his fellow Texans at the Reliant Astrodome!

He's a trash-talking, beer-swilling, finger-gesturing, butt-kicking son of a *****, and millions of WWE fans wouldn't have it any other way!

Name: John Centa
Height: 6'1
Weight: 248 lbs
Championships: N/A
Set-Up Finisher (if applicable):N/A
Finisher: FU
Status: Heel
Class: Heavyweight
Style: Balanced
Bio:
One needs only to glance quickly at John Cena to realize that he's a phenomenally conditioned athlete. The young Superstar started training at age 15. He went on to play offensive lineman at Springfield (Mass.) College, earning All-American honors as a senior, and a degree in exercise physiology. He also competed in some bodybuilding competitions.

But what you may not know about John Cena just by looking at him is that he's an outstanding freestyle rapper. He's been doing it since he was a young teen, and, more recently, he has been able to display his talents to a worldwide WWE audience.

With his impressive athletic ability and natural charisma, Cena -- still in his mid-20s -- is one of the hottest stars on SmackDown!

Also if I could I would like to see if I could be Vince McMahon, but that would make me owner, so if I could make that choice, I may use McMahon instead of Cena. But if I can use both than okay.

Okay, I'm dropping in here to make a few announcements and I hope that everyone who's signed up for this will read it.

First off, I want to address the issue of heel/face turns. Please only make turns if you have a genuine storyline attached to it and it makes sense. I don't want someone turning face/heel just for the hell of it.

Second, since I really want this RPG to get started right away before interest in it is gone, I spent yesterday thinking of a way for us to include wrestlers that haven't been taken yet in addition to the wrestlers that have been taken. Here's how it will be done: you just take a wrestler(s) that hasn't been taken yet and just use them for one match/promo/backstage altercation. For example: say Shippo (who plays the part of Triple H) wants to do an Evolution promo. Then, he would be able to just take Randy Orton and Ric Flair and use them for that promo since they haven't been picked up by anybody yet. But even if you use them, you still can't claim these wrestlers for your own, especially if someone takes them.

Next, if you want to use a wrestler that somebody has, then you must contact the person to get their permission. Do not assume that someone will automatically let you use their wrestler in a match or a promo.

Right now, I'm going to make a list of the wrestlers that are still available to be taken. Here it is:

If there is anyone that I neglected to put on this list, do not hesitate to inform me.

Lastly, RAW and Smackdown! will be the only shows that we will do initially. I need to see how easy and fast we are able to do the shows before I decide whether or not we do the shows like Velocity, Heat, and the different PPVs. Also, I need to talk with both GhostofSalvtore and Avalon to discuss how they want to do their respective shows. Also, right now would be a good time to start PMing me with your ideas for story lines.

Thank you very much and I hope that this RPG can get started very soon.

EDIT: Decided to take advantage of the situation with not enough wrestlers being taken and snap up another one for myself. So sue me. If people want more wrestlers, they can take them as long as they have good storylines set up for them (I really hate seeing good talent being put to waste).

Name: Chris Kanyon
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 245 lbs.
Championships: WCW Tag Team Championship (w/ Diamond Dallas Page), WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship, WWF Tag Team Championship (w/ Diamond Dallas Page)
Set-Up Finisher: Whichever one of his awesome moves he decides to use that night.
Finisher: The Flatliner
Status: Heel
Class: Heavyweight
Style: Balanced
Bio: It's hard to say whether any wrestler deserves a push more than Chris Kanyon. Chris is an extremely hard working individual who has paid his dues just as much, if not more, than any wrestler today. Kanyon had an extremely successful career in WCW, capturing the WCW Tag Team Championship and beating Booker T. the night of his first WCW Heavyweight Championship. After joining the WWF, it looked like Kanyon's good luck would continue. He captured the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship and the WWF Tag Team Championship and also was a part of the WCW Invasion Team.

However, Kanyon's luck soon turned around. A freak injury suffered in a dark match against Randy Orton kept Kanyon out for months. After rehab, Kanyon started wrestling at the OVW and the HWA, in order to get his skill back and to put over some rookies. However, in a match against Damaja, Kanyon hurt his shoulder. He finished his match, but continued to wrestle without going to doctors to check out his injury. Eventually, Kanyon did get his shoulder checked out, after wrestling a couple of matches, and it was revealed that his shoulder was infected and there was a buildup of fluid in his lungs. While watching a PPV Event with his friends, Chris passed out and nearly died. Kanyon had recieved a life threatining injury doing what he loved best; performing for the fans.

But now Kanyon has returned to the ring and is better than ever. He's earned the nickname "The Innovator of Offense" and with good reason; he rarely uses the same moves on any given night. Kanyon also gives an entertaining match and he's one of the few heels who truly knows how to receive some genuine heat from the fans without pull an audacious act. Kanyon is more than deserving of a great career in the WWE and he's going to make sure that he finally gets it.

Well i'll take the Undertaker to my list i'll put up his info later.

[Shippo]

:toothy:I get to be ALL of evolution ^_^

[color=darkblue]
[b]Evolution![/b]

Name: Ric Flair

Height: 6"1'

Weight: 243 lbs

Championships: NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Champion (w/Rip Hawk, Greg Valentine & Big John Studd); NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight; NWA Mid-Atlantic TV Champion; NWA World Tag Team Champion (w/Greg Valentine & Blackjack Mulligan); NWA Missouri Heavyweight Champion; NWA/WCW United States Heavyweight Championship; NWA/WCW World Heavyweight Champion; WWE Champion

Set-Up Finisher (if applicable): N/A

Finisher: Figure 4 leg lock

Status: Heel

Class: Heavyweight

Style: Im not really sure...

Bio: When you think of the true legends of sports-entertainment, you think of Ric Flair. One of the greatest World Champions of all time, and-along with Hulk Hogan-one of the two biggest Superstars of the past 20 years, Flair has carved out a legacy for himself that will never be surpassed.

Known as "The Dirtiest Player in the Game," Flair is one of the cagiest competitors to ever step in the ring. After enjoying several months as the co-owner of WWE, he has since found himself seconding fellow Evolution members Randy Orton and Triple H to the ring.

[b]Evolution![/b]


Name: Randy Orton

Height: 6"4'

Weight: 245 lbs

Championships: Dont know.

Set-Up Finisher: O-zone

Finisher: ROK

Status: Heel

Class: Ill fill this part out later.

Style: Im not really sure...

Bio: Randy Orton's arrival in WWE was seemingly inevitable. After all, he was practically raised in the business that both his father and grandfather excelled in.

But Randy Orton doesn't want his family name bring him success in WWE. He's eager to prove that his in-ring abilities alone can get him to the top. He's quick, agile, technically sound, and as female fans will tell you, he has the looks to make an impact on sports-entertainment.

Randy has recently aligned himself with Triple H and the legendary Ric Flair. Together, the group calls themselves Evolution.

If somebody could fill me in on why GhostofSalvtore (even after a PM and an e-mail) hasn't contacted me to discuss RAW, it would be much appreciated. If Ghost doesn't contact me within the next week, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop him from being the RAW co-GM.

On a better note, the first episode of Smackdown! is coming along pretty well. Avalon and I have already created an opening to the show and we've set up three matches so far. I'm going to try and set up another promo and another couple of matches and then we'll have our first episode of Smackdown!

EDIT: Well, even without help from Ghost, I got some big inspiration for the first episode of RAW. I've currently got 11 events (four promos and seven matches) planned. I just need to tie everything together and the first episode of RAW will finally be able to begin!

[GhostofSalvtore]

Not to use this as an excuse, but just something to consider why I have been absent. Tommorow is my birthday, so this week I have mainly been doing "birthday" things. I do have my promo pretty much set up, and I do have an idea of a direction we can go with for RAW, or at least a big storyline that can lead into the next PPV. But that can be discussed in private. Bout my promo though, I will need to talk with you about it, but again, that can be discussed in private. So, sorry that I havn't been around much to help with the first RAW, but I am doing what I can this week, and I will be in full-effect for next week and the weeks following.

[Shinmaru]

Just using this to make a couple quick announcements because I don't want the RPG being used for this.

1) I forgot to address the length of matches...matches can be as long as you want. Obviously if there's only one person working the match, then it's one post. But if there are multiple people working the matches, then the match can be as many posts as you want. In fact, I encourage long matches, as long as they're good.

2) As it pertains to G/S/B Master, I will give him a couple more days to post. In the meantime, if someone would like to play as Goldberg for the time being if he doesn't post, then PM me. If nobody PMs me, then either I or GoS will be taking over the role for the show. I will give G/S/B Master until Sunday morning...let's say 10:00 AM Pacific Time. I think that's reasonable. I'm not going to speculate why he hasn't posted (for all I know, there could've been a death in his family or something) and I don't want to hear anything from anyone else about it.

I'm out.
