I've been tossing this idea around in my head for awhile ever since my last idea was sidetracked.
This is not anything like Ryan's attempt at BYW in the WFW. This would be a seperate, "realistic" BYW fed. My vague ideas for what this would mean:
1. NO CURRENT FW CHARACTERS ALLOWED. Your wrestler MUST be just some guy, Aged 16-22~.
2. No FW cliches. Unless your character is a spoiled prep school student, your wrestler cannot live in a mansion, have a sexy hot valet, drive 90,000 dollar cars, etc. Role Plays cannot be done on Television shows as "promos" because its BYW, there is no TV! You can't show up at the arena for house shows, because there are none!
2A. So you'd have to use some imagination. If he's in high school, you'd have to use the lunch room, intercom, or classroom setting to psyche out your opponent. You could make a tape for your opponent, or go to another back yard show, but just try to keep it in the world of Back Yard wrestling. Something that would be possible for a bunch of stupid kids to do as an interview is fine.
3. Finishers and movesets should stay true to FW. Canadian Destroyers and over the top stuff like that, Flaming table spots, garage jumps, Stunners, Rock Bottoms and iconic moves like that. Or make up your own crazy (but somehow physically possible) move a bunch of idiot kids would do. Or keep it simple, there's always gotta be one rebel.
4. Limited RPs. Maybe a 2-3 RP limit per match for Cable Access shows, and short form literally "house" shows
Anyway, those are just my general ideas, is there any interest? It'd basically a less serious, less time consuming approach to FW where we could all get away from the characters everyone has done for years.
None of these rules are firm, and I'm open to any ideas people might have, so if you have any, post em!
