Okay, I'm just going to write my thoughts out as they come to me.
From a dialogue/shoot point of view, this is excellently written. You have a good voice with Estrella, you've clearly honed it and have become one with the character, in a sense.
I like the overall sentiment of your roleplay, you make solid points that make sense coming from your position in this match. Estrella is being given a huge opportunity, and I do get the vibe from your work here that she's going in 100% looking the most of the opportunity, and that there's no real pressure on her. If she wins, she's the best. If she loses, well... she was the underdog anyway, right? You placing an emphasis on those ideas is excellent and is exactly what you should've done.
There's a few things about the shoot that I'm not a huge fan of. Something I noticed a lot of people do which I think is a pitfall, is they try to characterize their opponents character, if you get what I mean? For example, if I were to just say something like:
"Hey, Wade Moor. You're a coward. You're afraid of me."
It's like... uhh, what? Wade won most matches clean and never showed fear in the ring. Where are you getting that from?
Where am I seeing this in your RP? Mostly towards the end. I haven't read a lot of Frank's RPs lately, so I could be wrong here, but FPV from my memory is a really determined, grit and grind, stand-up type of guy. He's confident, yes. But I'm not really sure if he's the type of guy who would be entirely dismissive of his opponent, especially one who is a champion, considering FPV is ultimately very invested in who has gold at any given time.
So when you're saying that FPV is looking past Estrella, that he's overlooking her, that he's already in the mindset that he's won the match and he'll be defending at the PPV? It's a little hollow, in my opinion. Now, if there's something I've missed here where it's shown that Frank has exhibited this type of behavior, then my mistake. But yeah, just off of reading that I thought it's something good to bring up, and to keep in mind.
Also, reading through your shoot, don't you kind of get the sense that Estrella is... underselling FPV a bit herself? Like she's almost looking by him, which sort of goes against the point you were trying to make against him? It's not egregious or over the top or anything. You didn't make him out like he was a complete scrub, so I wouldn't stress about it too much, but just another thing to keep in mind.
Your whole argument about FPV struggling in the spotlight in general is pretty solid, though. You also sell Estrella quite well. You give a nice build up, talking about some of her opponents, her struggles, the big ovearching stories she's been involved in. It's all executed great and I do feel that, overall, this is a shoot worthy of challenging for the World Title. It really does feel like a culmination of all the big and small events that have made Estrella who she is, and why it'll help bring her to the top of the game come Monday.
Unfortunately, I do have quite a large critique to make here, and it's about your RP structure as a whole.
I'm not seeing a lot of story, which is worrying.
Here's the thing, shoot is big here. 8 times out of 10, I think the handler with the better shoot will win the match. However, a RP with all shoot? That's a big gamble to take. To be fair, I did see some character development between all the shoot. Or at least, I saw the development of the character who has been on a long journey to get to this point, which is what I was talking about just a little earlier.
But, in a match like this? You really have to pull out some gripping story content. No scene with The Cool Kidz? No interactions with anyone important to Estrella? Nothing to really push her as a character and give her that extra motivation? Even a scene in between the shoot would've been nice just to break up the solid shoot that you had laid out. A change of pace would've done wonders for this piece.
Think of all AW's World Champions, and you'll see a common theme between most of them. They can all write a damn good story, while coupling it with some superb shoot. A big standout here is Walter. His US Title winning RP at Glory? Probably the best RP I've read here. Why? His shoot was killer, yeah. But the story? Fuuuuck. It added a dimension to that character and that RP as a whole that just put him above the competition.
Wade is another example. He takes you into another world with his story. The quality of the writing, the dynamics he brings into the piece that almost no-one else can bring into his character development. It's top-tier and puts him head and shoulders above the pack.
Lissie too. Emotional, compelling, gives us something outside of the hard-hitting shooter who tears down her opponents. I would've loved to see something like that in this RP, especially when it's for such a big occasion.
Now, to anyone reading this, I'm not saying that when the World Title is on the line, you need to have abortions, car crashes, murders, breakups, or massive heart to hearts in order to get the sympathy of the judges or readers. If that's where your character arc is naturally progressing? Hell yeah, put it in there. But even in this case, for instance, I would've just liked to see some of the supportive figures in Estrella's life talk to her a bit about what's about to transpire. It would've been a nice added touch.
I'm going to dick on a certain someone here, but only because he's my boy and I know he can take it.
You know who is a fucking GREAT dialogue and story-teller here at Action Wrestling?
Dandy DiVito.
You know what Dandy DiVito tried to do against Lissie Hope in... round 2 of the Wrestler of the Year Tournament, I believe?
He went for an all dialogue RP, with mostly shoot. DD by that point had greatly improved his shoot game, so the shoot in that RP was goooood. But it was missing that extra something... the extra something that Lissie had in her RP. A solid story/CD piece, followed by killer shoot.
I don't want to discourage creativity here, because that's a beautiful part of this game that we all play in. But, there are times where, if you want to be ultra competitive and win at the top? You have to do a certain few things. Having lots of match related content is one of them, and along with that... a compelling story.
At the end of the day, it's up to you how you write here. I actually think it's good to have phases of being ultra competitive, and then being creative. One of the reasons I burned out and ended up dropping Lockhart was because I was ultra competitive for what... 1 and a half years? Sure, I ended up with a great record and some accolades, but I definitely suffered for it creatively.
I'm kinda going on a tangent now, and this isn't all relevant to your RP, Estrella. But I think some of it could be useful for you. I think you need to assess your goals here and what you want to accomplish. I see potential for you to reach a consistent main-event status here, especially if you keep up with that great character voice and with your compelling, dynamic shoot/ability to build yourself up. However, there is a certain amount of story/world-building you'll have to do with Estrella as well, if you want to maintain that super high level!
Sorry for going on for so long, I hope some of this was useful for you. Good luck with the match! Will be exciting to see what Frank does in response to this. Overall, a high-tier piece of work that I think people who are struggling for voice/shoot could look to as guidance! This is how you build yourself up with a shoot.
Good stuff!
