I know, I'll add it. My characters 31. I'd say mid twenties are a good age for a character though.

I actually randomly age my characters. Take Shads for example. He's 30 for some reason now.

Debut Match

Well...Put the guy over. The debut match is a show case of the wrestlers talent. Not a showcase of the other guys awesomeness, the person making the debut is a new addition to the roster, not a jobber. Put as much personality into the character as possible. Also, try not to do double debuts, someones going to lose someones going to win. Losing the first match is showing a future of an instant jobber, and nobody wants to look like a jobber...And yes, this is coming from a guy who lost his first ever RP match, its very demoralizing, and somewhat annoying if the guy won't put you over.


I disagree. It depends on many factors, like you wouldn't have a debuting wrestler instantly defeat your World Champion would you?

Granted, you never book a newbie in such a important posistion from the off, I'm just saying that you DO NOT have to win a Debut Match to get anywhere in a Fed and not look like a jobber! Obviously that would be down to how a character is booked, another one of the factors!

Yeah like, I don't remember a debut match I actually won.

RWA: lost to Jacob Figgins
NWF: lost to an Undertaker wannabe
EEW: (w/Mavlik) lost to Joshua Danielson and Scott Shock
AOWW: lost to Snypa
WWFG: lost to Undertaker and Kane (handicap against Bucky...screw you Kalos)
GWWF: lost to Nathan
GWF: lost to The Great Khali
GzW: lost to Meph
WSX: lost to Vincent
PAW: (w/Mavlik) lost to Jinx and Krymzon
GCW: lost to Saint Joey
SWA: (w/Steve Kent) lost against a tag team from Eve Ill
CSWF: lost to Mike Landry

So that's the pathetic story of my debut matches.

Oh yeah, there was a few I won:

FIP: won against Shane Wreckless
NGWE: won against Jacob Meyer
OECW: won against Vamp

All this to say, I don't see a reason why the guy MUST win his debut match. I mean, if he just don't deserve to win it, I don't see why he should. A guy who debuts should be judged on the same level as anyone else, just so he knows what is required to have a good match in that guild, and see if he can RP as the moderators would like him to.

I think it's considerate to put someone over in their first match, but yeah there are times when it doesn't make sense. As a booker, I avoid those situations.

Poor Marts! xd But your doing well even if you didn't win your first matches in said promotions!

2.0, you book debut matches against lower-card guys so it's a even fight?

Yes, usually I make sure a person debuts against someone mid to lower tier. However, if I feel paticularly good, I'll let them debut against one of my higher characters and let them win due to storyline interference and such.

Heh, you're not going to get angry about losing when you booked yourself to! xd

Freakshow=True, but if a newbie or lower-midcard guy was going to face 2.0 for example, the wrestler should know he's being jobbed-out unless told he gets a shock victory! It's like when someone like Batista faces.....Charlie Haas!

It's allllll about the factors! blaugh

OECW: won against Vamp


I wouldn't call that a debut. I think the phrase "Warm Up" is better. You debut was your next one. xd
