For me. I started on Y!A in about 2011 in the small feds on there. The idea just interested me of creating a character so I got involved. I then moved to feds on webs.com sites and then onto forum style feds.
What about yourself?

I then moved to feds on webs.com sites and then onto forum style feds. What about yourself? Way back in 1999,a friend of mine introduced me to e-fed. I started as a manager/valet, writing short rp's to hype my buddy. From there, I went on to make a succession of progressively better characters, a couple of whom were a pretty big deal... in those days. Lol Took a break for several years to be an "adult", decided it wasn't for me, and came back to fedding around 08 or 09-ish. Been doing that fairly steadily ever since.

I started out in 1997ish. I was in high school and worked at a grocery store. One of the other guys that worked there approached me one night with a folded up piece of paper. It had a URL on it and he told me to go to it after 10pm that night. I was quickly disappointed when I discovered it was not a porn site. However, I gave it a chance and here we are. The fed was run by Zeus, a wrestling simulator that I don't think you can even get anymore which kinda sucks. Most of the people in the fed were local people that I went to school with. The handler of Bishop (Bishop and Priest, not Kevin Bishop) was in there. We were both using different wrestlers. The guy that was world champion was best friends with the owner. He was undefeated and never lost the belt because he literally copied and pasted his RP each week and just changed our names. That only lasted like 3 months or less before we all left. I've been in a few other feds since then that I won't really get into, but I've spent majority of my time especially from 2002-2017 in WCF. For me. I started on Y!A in about 2011 in the small feds on there. The idea just interested me of creating a character so I got involved. I then moved to feds on webs.com sites and then onto forum style feds. What about yourself? What is Y!A?

I started in the late nineties and oddly enough, probably while looking for porn, I stumbled across e-fedding. It caught my attention because I was a hardcore wrestling fan back then.
My legendary character back in the day was Steve Blanchard, a millionaire rancher and I had a hell of a run with him. My only character to be inducted into a hall of fame this far.
Marshall Gates is the only other mentionable character.

Back before all this WiFi, smart phones and tech, what about 2000 I got into America Online. Chat RPs used to be good, but ultimately was real-time, so matches were organic based from who was on. From there, learned about email feds, long CC mailing lists, first was a WWF based fed, and it was all grand. The Rock was my first character, luckily he was open at the time, but went as him for a few months, then Raven for the better part of 2 or 3 years. Undertaker when he was "Big Evil" and all that, from the jump I done my best to emulate whichever character but definitely learned a lot on the way.
From the email feds though, I met a good friend who directed me to this website, told me it was an efed.. I had no idea how it worked, since he said created wrestlers only. The deal was, you fill out your application, choose 40 moves off a list of 200 probably, and general appearance. Back then, 2001, Poser was some state of the art stuff. Every character on there was animated by the owner, and I wish I had remembered the name if nothing else, for good nostalgia, there was a roster maybe 50 deep, each wrestler their own identity. It was epic in my lil 11 year old mind, but even still, the motifs that brought us there first, are what keep us together.
I took breaks, mainly 2007-2011 was the big one, then sparsely from there, but the things we all loved and love about efedding are present as night and day here. Comradery, creativity, legacies, passion and dedication from most of us, if not all of us here. It's great to see, since it was the communities, the God mode guy who was world champ and undefeated, the plot twists, how many show results, mind blowing promos, names you'll remember and people you'll never forget. AW is an awesome place, I'm glad to be here and the second anyone even thinks of quitting, let me know, because I hope Action Wrestling stays around for a long time.

I started a coupel years ago after i googled about wrestling. found out you can do stuff like this so I tried it. Met some friends who I still talk to like the runner for The big dogs! We keep in touch and went to another company but it closed down and then we were on twitter and we kept seeing this place pop up one day so we just read results on here for a few weeks then gave decided to sign up. originally we were going to be a tag team ourselves or maybe singles guys but we noticed there was no tag division so we each made a tag team now the division is grand! i love it! I love this place its fun and everyone here is really just about the company and pushing it forward and not being selfish

Wow, it's crazy to see that some people have been doing this hobby for so long! Though that could be just because I didn't know it even existed until like a couple weeks ago.
As you can probably infer from that last sentence, this is actually my first e-fed. I've been writing since I was a kid but I guess the online circles I normally run in don't necessarily overlap with the ones where e-fedding would've come up sooner, despite my own interest in wrestling lol. In short, I fell down a Wiki rabbit hole around 3:00 AM a couple weeks back and wound up on the Wikipedia entry for Fantasy wrestling, which then of course mentioned e-fedding. So naturally, I had to check it out.
I stumbled onto this site through Twitter (though I don't have a real Twitter account set up for my characters, I've seen some of the people that do and they seem pretty nutty, no offense) and really liked the way it looked. Did some lurking and found that from the outside looking in this was a pretty great community and I wanted to join it.
TL;DR I'm new.

I'm pretty new to the game. I started last year as L Verez in UCI. I was in a wrestling KiK group, and DK popped in the group and asked us to join. It peaked my interest, and I will never regret it. Since then, I've used characters such as the Bitter Siblings(Allen and Terra Walker), and the ASU(Jason Zurra and Auron Vega... may possibly use other members later on), but L has remained my main character throughout. If you guys haven't noticed, all my characters also all share the same Universe. This is in case I wanna do big storylines where they collaborate.

Short version, started in '95 with The Hollywood Blonde and Akasha. Retired them in '97. Those were fun times hoping that your modem would find a connection before the deadline.
Broke my ankle in two different spots, had to have it rebroken and operated on, still have have 5 titanium screws in my ankle. Got bored rehabbing my ankle and reading books, and watching tv, so I found the WCF. Joined the Dub in Jan '16, I think, as Shadow and Miyamoto, been a while. Joined UCI in May '16 til it's closure and joined NBW after Matt (Big Kev) and or Spencer came up with this NBW/UCI merger storyline. So I stuck around because Matt and everyone involved were cool. And the Shadowlove vs. Kevin Bishop feud was epicness like no other feud I was ever involved in with this character (honorable mention to Alex Richards).
I knew of Grave and Tort from my time the WCF and the U, felt like my Shadowlove/Miyamoto storyline was still incomplete, so I joined AW, because the OOC atmosphere behind the scenes was drama free and chill city. And that Spencer Adams dude was a great recruiter. lol

I heard from a friend of mine in high school (graduated 08) about efedding but never really gave a go of it because I didn’t really think it was going to be for me. Around 2013 the idea randomly came back to me so I decided to google search it and see if it was popular or if it was an art that died off, but I ended up discovering WCF.
I first joined as a character named Stryder that used the Bane picbase. I was watching a lot of LotR and Nolan Batman at the time and had nooooo fucking clue what I was doing. Was cocky as fuck and got popped off in my first match and that’s when a switch flicked in my head. I could either call it quits and move on or put my nose to the grindstone and get better.
After that travesty, I used a character named Colin Marshall from 1/2 of a tag team my friend and I created on WWE 2k14 called Youth Gone Wild (perty fuckin’ Skid Row duders). Found a modicum of success as him but he never really took off like I wanted him to because he was pretty vanilla, although if I went with the Skid Row idea, who knows?
From there I created Kaz Mazy and had an awesome run as the character where I won the United States Championship twice and had a run as Tag Team Champions with the legend Bobby Cairo (one of the all time greats, for real) Eventually, this character had run its course and I was starting to burn out a little bit with him as well, and that’s when a good friend of mine came to me with an idea called #beachkrew.
From there I created Wade Moor and I’m still having a blast writing for this character. I really found my own footing and voice with him and that helped me build confidence as a writer. From there I’ve won the World Championship during one of the most competitive points in WCF history, a handful of Of The Year awards, and a few tournaments to boot.
Now I’m here in Action Wrestling to build on his legacy and just generally have fun.
