Well, allow me to expand a little bit. The character I have in mind is slightly based on Sylar (from Heroes). A calculating, intelligent, yet enigmatic individual, he uses very wordy promos & would be presented as a master of other wrestler's signature moves/finishers. He would be able to adapt to the style of any opponent & go on an absolute tear through the best W*I*G has to offer, finishing them off with their own moves (or moves he has "acquired" from other opponents). The only problem is that he would need to go on an undefeated streak so that he's presented as as much of a threat as possible.

Online thread posted.
Use it like EWT's and WHOA's, and also if you want any pre-debut segments.

The only problem is that he would need to go on an undefeated streak so that he's presented as as much of a threat as possible. I think this would be fine, just as long as you allow him to be human in promos and in the ring. The problem faced by those writers in the real world and in the e-fed world, I think anyway, is that they forget to make their monsters with flaws. Yes, he can master and outwit others. But make sure that he isn't always winning, or he ends up like John Cena's character and basically becomes a loathed character for some. My opinion anyway, so take that for what's it worth. Also, I guess it's official... This is the current Mother fed of WHOA, if there are no objections. So, I guess, when characters from WHOA are ready to move up, here is where they will most likely go. That has already been said by those that have characters in WHOA and it now applies for me too.

Thanks for the input. Yes, like I said, he's not exactly a Goldberg type character smashing through competition in minutes. The matches would be closely fought sort of contests. Maybe he manages to eke out a victory in the end (as heels do), but it wouldn't be after dominating an opponent for 20 minutes, y'know?

I always wanted to have a character who's gimmick was that he just stole his opponents finishers. Came to me while I was playing SvR...

Hello there...
This is exactly who you think it might be. I was conflicted about whether I should join WIG or not, but since so many people seem to be interested, I don't see why I shouldn't give it a try.
And the latest character idea I have in mind, well it may be my darkest creation yet.
Edit: And speaking of which, the first of them is introduced in the WIG Online thread.

Does anyone else think we should have our own crew of interviewers, announcers, referees, etc.? Just so we can put a definite name to those that are calling the action in the ring.

Just so you guys know, I will not be volunteering announcing duties for WIG, since I'm too lazybusy with WHOA's as it is.

No offence, Ragsl, but I don't think too many will have a problem with that. It's a tad frustrating to have a match typed up then wait while some guy has to add commentary to it. Easier to just do things ourselves. What we should do is list names for people and assign them jobs. For example: Interviewer-Matthew King Bonus points for pictures. RAGNAL EDIT: Dear god, Maxx, I am SO sorry! I keep forgetting as an admin that the quote button's moved to the side and all and...well...I accidentally deleted the original entry and tried to copy it. So...yes...Ragnal does not deserve mod powers. He is a fool.

How about a female commentator? ><; Yeah, no problems. Just come up with a name, a duty & the type of character they are. Hey, we could have a female version of Jerry Lawler slobbering over all the guys or something...

I would like to volunteer a character for the staff:
John Cena. No, not THAT John Cena. This is an African-American male who just happens to have the same name as John Cena. And, he does not like the other John Cena. He's kind of like the Bizarro John Cena, except for the Bizarro speak. He could be either a commentator or a backstage interviewer.

So we've gotta Bizzaro World John Cena, and a female version of Attitude-Era Lawler...
Good God.
