Just giving ya'll a heads up. Me and Devin are discussing opening a new wrestling league entitled TROY WINDHAM WRESTLING. In fact, I think we're leaning towards definitely doing this.
I'll give more details when we figure them out. But we plan on making this a completely ridiculous wrestling league.
One of my favorite things about wrestling is how sleazy it is. We've all had some hero worship or wrestlers but, for the most part, in real life they're frightening and kind of ignorant. I want this league to embrace the philosophy of wrestlers, in real life, being incredibly trashy.
Think of it as a small, regional promotion in the beginning of the 90's when regional wrestling was on its last legs. The wrestlers in these promotions, for the most part, were pretty bad and definitely trashy. (Think of The Colorado Kid, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich, Chazz, Marty Jannetty when not in the WWF, Tugboat, etc.) Mullets were the norm, theme music was still based around hair metal which was rapidly becoming irrelevant, airbrushed belly shirts were acceptable, etc.
That's kind of the atmosphere we want. We want the type of wrestlers who would gladly wrestle outside of an Indian casino in a fading industrial town in Maine for about $75 a match, or for free child support payments.
So, if you have a character in mind, we want him or her! Or, if you want to join and have a serious character, that's cool too, just prepare to have him wear fanny packs and things like that. Stuff that actual wrestlers wear when they're on the road.
Also, we're not going to bother with a website or posers or anything like that. In fact, we're not even going to bother with writing out matches! Cards will be written in summary forrm. And not just that, they're going to be written in MINIMALIST summary form.
And we also reserve the right to write cards without actually planning them or telling you that they're scheduled. Like a promoter at a CYO booked a middle school gym and then all the wrestlers were text messaged something like "If you want $55 tonight, show up to the Reid Middle School gymnasium in Pittsfield, Mass. Free soda. We can't reimburse for travel" and whoever shows up can show up shows up.
