A couple of fun contest ideas involving the SWA wrestlers:
1. Create an interesting bio and backstory for a SWA wrestler to make him or her more interesting.
2. Extension of first idea, modify the wrestler’s costume, appearance or move set in order to enhance your character.
3. Write a SWA wrestler an entrance song.
4. If SWA was an invasion promotion, what would the lyrics of their theme song be?

I dig games like this! It might take a bit of time to accomplish numbers 3 and 4, however. I like #1 a lot though; perhaps we as a community can come up with funny little bios for every SWA wrestler, things that explain away their odd names and occasionally wonky in-ring behavior. Could be fun to use them in Fire Promoter or the occasional random sim if they had some personality projected on 'em.
Clearly, Karts Rowdy turned to professional wrestling after being banned from the competitive go-kart circuit, because he was a little too reckless on the racetrack.

Mr Cobra was raised in a religious home but always wanted to be a wrestler. As his family didn't approve and essentially disowned him for his decision he took that frustration and used it to fuel his current gimmick, a bad minister laying down some Old Testament judgement. His name is Cobra to reference the snake in the Garden of Eden story of Genesis.

The lecture is probably better for a no-nonsense minister gimmick.

This is probably cheating, but Alex Thompson became involved in SCFL early on and we ran with it. www.scflfirepro.com/encyclopedia/alex-thompson/A former slaughterhouse employee that killed his wife and daughters, then was on a work release program where he was allowed to wrestle on weekends. He died in a sod deathmatch when he was CRITICAL'd face down in the sod, the ref didn't check on him and the match continued on for another forty minutes. During that time he choked on the sod and passed away. There was a tournament in his honor to crown the US Championship (Uncle Sledding, it's a mug from Walgreens with Sledding Bianchi's face on it).  He also makes guest appearances in some of the SCFL artwork inside of his burial suit. Here is the SCFL Alex Thompson ghost on the Workshop. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1217306551 |

I've seen some people in the workshop redo the SWA wrestlers to their liking, improving their logic and other stuff, the most well liked seems to be Steel Johnson, I'd redo all of them to my tastes as well if the saved wrestlers organization system wasn't so annoying when your roster is big.

The originals haven't been touched since the game launched and, well, they're super lacking. Alex Thompson, for example, has his finisher as the Go Flasher. The Go Flasher doesn't pin. He has pins set on the old three priorities to three lariats. Standing, running and I believe a grapple one that isn't his finisher. It was maddening to watch him never pin after his finisher and other big moves. |

Blood Angel is, in fact, a celestial being, who failed to acquire angelic status due to retaining too much attachment to his former human existence, and not enough spirit,
To rectify this, Blood Angel (His actual name is Henry Waddle) returned to earth in human form, to literary beat his humanity out in the squared circle, where he vows to remain until a broken heap on the precipice of death, to hopefully build his spirit enough to transcend (and leave his blood behind, in a pool surrounding whatever monster finally destroys him).

Watching the nLegacy stream, they seemed about the same as their current versions.

I still want to understand the intricate story of how a masked luchador ends up with the dynamic ringname "Allen Hawkins". Like...what is his DEAL?!

I'm guessing he's like Mr America or The Midnight Rider, and the commentators/announcers keep fucking up his masked name. And then he has to deny it like Super Strong Machine; now we just need a "I'm Not Allen Hawkins" voice clip and we're set. |

If I ever clone him, I'm naming him Hawk Alien.
