Writer who likes wrestling. I actually had my first piece published this year.

I'm a cumquat.
Probably the same as Howie nowadays. Used to be a wrestling fan who likes to write in my early E-fedding days but now I only watch Raw and PPVs. I enjoy nothing more than getting stoned out my tiny mind, throwing on some obscure indie music and writing a giant monolith of nonsense.
The rest of my time is spent working, writing or attempting to be a socially adjusted adult.
If Cara knew how much time I was spending on Google Docs she'd have me committed, bitch don't understand meh.
Right now she thinks I've got a dangerous porn addiction... and I'm okay with that.

Definitely a writer first, wrestling fan second.
I originally started roleplaying on a Mortal Kombat forum back in the late 90s. Good times. I've also roleplayed as both a wolfhound and a fox on this crazy canine-centric forum where "speech" was frowned upon - though still acceptable - while higher praise was given to people more adept at detailing the subtle nuances of body language. I also have a fair bit of rhyming stuff all over the place, but it doesn't all necessary fall under the heading of "Poetry". I don't think I've ever had anything published, because I seem to have difficulty finishing my projects. I've probably lost about a half million half-finished short stories over the years, and I have a shitload of notes compiled for a book I'm increasingly sure I'm never going to write.
And now I write dumb shit for the five people outside the Guardians who actually read my work.

Writer who likes wrestling. The reason I rejoined e-fedding like five years ago was to mainly practices what I had learned with my time gone and to improve. So many of my RPs were mainly stories with some promos secondary, it was only with in the last year that I changed to such a promo focus in WCF. I love mechanics, structure, and character rationale more than anything. Showing me why a character thinks is just as enjoyable as what he thinks.
John Gable to me was all about the psychology of a self-important actor if all he did was fail. He loses friends, hates the audience, stops trusting people, and becomes a disgusting and deplorable person who simultaneously tortures others with his antics as well as himself while still trying to seem emotionally proper as he tries to figure out what is it he is supposed to do or take away from it all. Constantly giving and taking chances, raising hope only to smash it to bits just to seem how much I could put him through.
K. L. Henson was my attempt to portray a mind 100% lacking of any sympathetic nerve but always curious what moved everything and everyone and how to stretch it to its limit. I would create levels of the human in him, the personality he had constructed and I would drop the opacity up and down at random intervals and try to create a character that was an unreliable narrator but also still completely honest by destroying his ability to retain perspective...Also doing fucked up shit in RPs was fun as hell, to create a sort of frayed wiring. But again both these characters were all supposed to be character studies which is what I love about doing RPs and can't quite find the motivation to do in any other format.
Preecha though, it was less a study of character and more of straight forward use of mechanics and structure, creating events and reveals more than it was getting inside his mind. Though honestly some of my most enjoyable writing in terms of exercise.
But yeah, I am more a writer than anything but still a fan of wrestling (just not as much of one within the last year or so.

I chose a wrestling fan who likes to write, but I honestly couldn't think of a good answer for this question and still don't completely like the one that I chose. I started out as a wrestling fan who likes to write but I've soured on wrestling. I watch Royal Rumble and some years I will catch Wrestlemania. Outside of that I don't watch. I do read Pro Wrestling Illustrated every single month and have done so for at least 2-3 years consistently now.

I think this is a great question because it gives people an insight into how others approach the game and what they themselves see as important when playing it.
I voted the first option because I don't really see myself as a writer. The only other serious writing I ever did was for a "shared superhero universe" board because I love the genre and I had fun playing with its conventions and tropes. Efedding is basically the same sort of outlet for me, except I'm putting my own spin on the cliches of pro wrestling instead of four color comics. Also, there's the competitive element to it as well.

Yea. I'm a wrestling fan who likes to write for sure. I always get back into efedding while in on a wrestling kick. But when I'm not watching I'm not interested in efedding. Which is funny because I hate shoot writing which is essentially the only wrestling part in my rps.

Writer who writes about wrestling, gets sidetracked, becomes a zombie.
It's a tale as old as time.

apparently Smackdown's still a thing, and there's like 18 million indies.
I used to be a massive wrestling fiend, back when the UK had "the wrestling channel"
