TCP1 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 After the end of the Second World War in 1950, wrestling experienced a sharp rise in popularity in the various regions of Europe and the United Kingdom. People were desperate for an entertaining outlet for that allowed to cheer for heroes, whilst booing the dastardly bad guys. It was at this time that various regional promotions grew and began making serious money, which combined with the advent of the era of television made professional wrestling the number one sport in Europe and the UK. Across the Atlantic, the United States had blossomed financially having avoided war and the side show carnival performers were being replaced with glittery showman who used their charisma to win over audiences. Whilst lacking the popularity of some of it’s neighbours promotion, the USA is a growing market. In Japan, after a successful invasion of China, pro wrestling became a serious sport, with hybrids of street fighters and judo experts frequenting a more realistic product. Annual tournaments are held to discover the best young fighter in the whole of Japan, and there is a sense of camaraderie amongst promotions, who understand that by working together they may someday be able to rival the European and UK industry. Mexico has long been the spiritual home of wrestling, preferring to take the traditional aspects of wrestling and combine it with the flamboyant Mexican culture. Masked wrestlers are in the forefront and the biggest drawing matches are always for the right to claim an opponents mask as his own. More than anything the four varying wrestling communities are all fighting for control of the fastest growing sport in the world. Although the UK is the clear leader, France is a close second, especially now that they have moved into their freshly annexed colony of Canada. Unfortunately for everyone else, the United States of America have the biggest television networks in the world and it is surely only a matter of time until they challenge Europe’s finest.

Adopting the gimmick of a fascist general shortly after the end of the Second World War, he rocketed into the main event and has stayed there for the last two decades. Although his best days are behind him physically, his outstanding character portrayal and raw unadulterated heat make him the perfect foil for a heroic babyface. He destroys opponents with his deadly [I]Iron Cross[/I] finisher (A crucifix suplex) and is currently performing for the biggest promotions in the UK and Europe and is arguably the most over man in the short history of professional wrestling.

He has gained notoriety in many states of America due to his broad across-the-board appeal. He is the son of an Irish immigrant and a Boulder native, who proudly believes in a strong work ethic, coupled with a strong party spirit. Finishing his opponents with his patented Bearhug, he is a hero of the typical style with an amazing physique, who is very well liked by his colleagues and respected by his opponents. He appears to be the dead cert. star performer of American wrestling.

JWideman Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Rather than posting a big list, I'll just point you to the generator. [url]http://nine.frenchboys.net/jaboy.php[/url] Generate random names to your hearts content.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamelessposer Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 10000-names.com is great for whenever you need names authentic to a particular culture. There's even some pretty esoteric names lists in there, like Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdo_man Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I think I'll wait for a few releases in so that I'll have more than 600 workers to throw around :p Also, are you planning on having no TV stations and PPV carriers and just telling people on what years to add them in? Because if you think back, I don't think TVs were all that popular back then, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
