Night Raven is here.

Long-time lurker, finally registered after 2.5 years.. also I was confused on what order to do stuff in so I went with my instincts and kinda posted in the chat that isn't even used..? Sorry about that, also I put forward Emma for consideration as a character I can run since she's an OC of mine. I've reinvigorated myself when it comes to true RPing, not script-format stuff like deviantart or Skype, I mean 3+ paragraph posts that belong in forums like this. I'm a little ashamed to say I have zero experience or knowledge about wrestling whatsoever, but I can learn and know how to type up a good, lengthy post so I hope you'll have me.

Welcome to AFW, I hope you enjoy your stay here. Since you have spent a while lurking I'm sure you can come up with your own idea and style by taking bits and pieces from some of your favorite matches (as long as they make sense) to build your "wrestling style". I'm sure the higher ups and anyone you ask here will be more than glad to assist you and give pointers and ask questions, the most important thing is you have fun and entertain everyone. :p

TBH I'm not sure how to process CQC/Hand-to-hand into an accurate wrestling style since I have close to zero knowledge about wrestling in terms of the actual fighting that takes place nor the showmanship story-based stuff I've seen in western wrestling as opposed to the more actual combat-centric primarily Japanese stuff. I think I'm gonna need a lot more help than I thought I would need from watching others RP it out. Much like how I imagine Emma's first match is gonna go, it just smacked me in the face: daunting as hell.

Hi there.

Maybe it will help you that wrestling in general is heavily choreographed and some moves evolve from something that is acually useful. The fireman's carry for example is actually that, a move that firemen use to carry unconscious or injured people.

If you're not sure which style you would like to use and how to use it, take inspiration from a wrestler you like. Even a GOAT like Bret Hart had a routine he followed(Backbreaker, Dropkick, Piledriver, Russian Legsweep, Elbow from the second rope, a random suplex, Sharpshooter).

Well the thing is I'm trying to figure out how to interpret this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Army_Combatives#Training into Emma's wrestling repertoire and I'm honestly just stumped, maybe if I try this tomorrow I'll figure it out.

Maybe this can be of help? Brock Lesnar is probably the closest regarding legitimiate Submission Holds/Wrestling hybrid. Some of the submission holds are absolutely devastating but leave you also open for a counter, the straight ankle lock invites the opponent to kick you in the face from the picture shown before it's fully locked in.

Welcome! ^ ^

Hope you enjoy yourself here!

If you haven't already, please read through the rules and FAQ section, it will provide a lot of useful info, especially to new members.

I wouldn't worry too much about not knowing any wrestling moves or any thing like that. A lot of it is stuff you can pick up going through the motions and communication is the key. Find people who are willing to work with you and help you out if you can. Or feel free to ask before hand. The mods are usually available to takes questions and most of our members are knowledgeable or at least know how things go around here ^ ^

Welcome newbie!

Protip: Bad writers can only write little posts. Bad writers with egos write needlessly long posts. Good writers write as much as is needed.

I think not knowing wrestling thing is more of a handicap than we let on, but certainly not a disqualifier. It just means you'll have to be that much more diligent when talking to your partner(s).

Also, anyone who gets kicked in the face when going for any sort of leg lock is a noob. <img src=
