RULE #1
Be respectful of other players, and don't be a dick. It's fake fake fighting, so don't take things to seriously. If there are any issues, just send me a message. We want this to be a fun, positive experience for everybody.
THE SPIRIT OF COMPETITION
Within the kayfabe world of Fighting Spirit, wrestlers are expected to adhere to a code of honor known as the Spirit of Competition. This code states that they must shake hands with their opponent as a sign of mutual respect and fully abide by the rules of the ring. Babyfaces will adhere to the Spirit of Competition, while heels, naturally, will not. In this case of an extremely personal grudge match between bitter rivals, the code will be "suspended"... which means it's anything goes!
THE SCHEDULE
Our aim is to have a more casual schedule of events as compared to other e-feds. I know that I'm busy with my career, relationship, and everyday life stuff, so I think this fed is a great option for those in a similar situation. It would also be perfect for someone that's in another fed already, but wants to branch out a bit creatively. This could be a secondary promotion for you, similar to how many wrestlers in the United States will make occasional appearances for promotions in Japan.

- Players may control 1-2 wrestlers. They may be completely separate, occasional allies/partners, or a dedicated tag team.
- FSPW does not feature intergender wrestling matches.
- Shows will be bi-weekly during tournaments, and monthly outside of that.
- For singles matches, each wrestler may post 1 RP with a 1000 word limit.
- For tag team matches, each team member may post 1 RP with a 750 word limit, or the team may post 1 joint RP with a 1500 word limit.
- Please get your RPs posted on time. It's a more casual schedule, but we still want to put out the shows in a consistent manner. When the match card for a show is posted, the RP deadline will be as well. If there is a major issue and you cannot make the deadline, send me a message as soon as possible.
- It is my commitment as the booker and match writer to get shows posted a week after RPs have closed. As the promotion expands, I will definitely bring extra match writers on board.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD PROMO?
- A good RP is engaging, entertaining, and showcases your character. It also, importantly, helps to showcase your opponent's character.
- Put over your opponent, don't bury them. If your bury your opponent and lose, you lost to a guy who sucks. If you bury your opponent and win, who cares? You beat a guy that sucks. A good promo builds up both wrestlers.
- Promos are about promoting the match. Talk the readers into the building. Get people excited to see the match.
- Keep your RP within the word limit. Quality over quantity.
- Proofread for spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. You can have a bunch of great ideas, but you need to communicate those ideas effectively. Make sure your promo has a solid structure and flow.
- Keep things appropriate. Your RP can have some swearing and innuendoes sprinkled in, but in general it should resemble the type of content you would see on a modern, mainstream wrestling show.
