Question of the Day - 9/15/23

[REQUIEM Puroresu]

Who was your first e-fed character? Why did you pick them?

[Aria Knight]

Doink the Clown, baby.

I picked him because you were Repo Man and I was hoping it would trick you into wanting to team with me.

It did not work! A handful of shows later, I switched to Edge and Christian

Oh man.. it was Pirate Paul Burchill in 2016 I think. I thought the pirate gimmick would be fun to write and it lasted about a month lol.

[Jack Sullivan]

“The Redeemer” Jack Sullivan, the current Jack’s dad. I wish I had a good explanation, but I just thought “The Redeemer” would be a cool wrestling moniker and ended up making a monster heel character to go with it. Being that I was 17 at the time and not raised in a religious household I didn’t know enough to really run with that so he quickly switched to “The Evolution” to push being an athletic freak. I wrote him for about 2 years before I burnt out on him and moved onto my much more long running Shane Donovan character.

Jimmy Rave. I went with the first name I could think of. I made 2 (TERRIBLE) promos as him then changed to a "Dark" Tyson Kidd Gimmick where he was almost a redeemer style character. Both were terrible and make me cringe every time I think about it.

[REQUIEM Puroresu]

Stevie Richards and the Blue Meanie.

Because, back then, real wrestler e-feds had tiered lists of who you could join as based on how many words you were capable of writing. Plus, they had available lists of talent that was taken. The PWA Tri-Fed, the first fed I ever joined, was BOOMING so names on the available list were lacking... and considering I wasn't nearly the writer then that I am now, my confidence wasn't up to committing to 1,000 words to write a Billy Gunn type. So I chose the bottom tier Stevie and Meanie.

I was horrendous. Just the dirt worst. Eventually, I got my confidence and my word count up and switched to the Dudley Boyz and those were my mains for the next few years until I really got a grasp on Double J.

[DS(Jessa Wells)]

Darkstar. He was my only male character and I had him in my mind long before fedding. He was a scarred creature who thrived on pain and rage. He had a set of beliefs revolving around battles and took in lost souls and turned them into monsters like himself. He eventually became known as the unquestioned god of all things hardcore in mvw. At some point he transcended humanity and became something more disturbing. I retired him and later handled his daughter, Eclipse.

At the time I liked what I was doing, but I look back at it now and am not thrilled with the writing itself. The concept worked, but was executed better with his daughter. She was a better character with more under the hood. I think a lot of us cringe at our early work though.

[Chloe Storm]

The first one I REMEMBER being is Harlem Heat in SGW. Eventually I did a little solo work as Booker T and then broke off into nWo B-Team for a little bit (Stevie Ray, Horace 'H-Bomb' Hogan, Scott Norton, and Vincent). Thus started my comedic character trend.

I can't remember if I was anyone before Harlem Heat in SGW.. I definitely don't remember who I handled in other feds prior though.

[Cap]

Christian. 04/05 Christian hits different.

I wrote him with Trish of course initially. Then later, I was Christian w/Tomko in 80 different feds. He was also the first character I won a World Title as.
