What is E-Wrestling?

E-Wrestling is simulated professional wrestling usually run by email. In E-Wrestling, you create a wrestler complete with personality and attributes used to determine matches. You will then fight opponents across the world with your keyboard and your computer screen. Usually, you arrange matches with other players, (or, as in the BMWF, you suggest matches), which then are resolved by the Federation Head. Players develop feuds and alliances, arrange special matches, write interviews and/or "promos" called "role-plays" which are then posted by the Fed Head. Many feds simply battle it out on a message board. However, the BMWF writes complete shows and all action must be sent via e-mail to the fed head.

In many e-wrestling federations, you never determine what your wrestler does inside the ring  since that is the job of the Federation Head or staff or it may be determined by a wrestling simulator. Your duty as an e-wrestler is to develop a wrestler, give him a gimmick, and bring him to life with your role-plays. Of course, in the BMWF, we do allow and even encourage players to write up "spots" for their matches. This way they do control what happens in the ring to a certain extent, but, ultimately, the final results of a match are determined by a simulator.

E-Fed's generally fall into one of two categories--booked and simulated.

A booked e-fed is one where the Fed Head chooses the winners directly without the use of a simulator. Winners of matches are decided based on the quality of their role-plays, angles and maybe even Fed Head bias.

A simulated (simmed) e-fed is one where the results of matches are determined  by one of several wrestling simulators on the market.

The BMWF is a combination booked and simmed e-fed. Quality role-playing determines your push toward superstardom, but the simulator decides most match results.
