What's Your Favorite Part of eWrestling?
That's the post... I want to know why you do this and not something else. What keeps you logging in, writing a character, waiting for results, and wanting to collaborate with people?

I started a story with this character twenty years ago and it isn't finished yet. I don't know how it ends, and I don't want to let it go until I do. Every time my character interacts with somebody else's, the story changes. I only write half of the chapters myself. The ones I don't write come as a total surprise, but I have to pick up their threads and carry on. That's what makes it interesting to me.
There it is. There's the most pretentious damn answer to a simple question you'll read today!

For me, its the storyline aspect of it. The slow burn. The psychology behind why we do what we do. I'm also interested in the way Japanese Wrestling always seemed so prestigious in the 1990's, while North American Wrestling was at its lowest. The competition aspect of it, and providing a space for people to compete and tell their stories. What would we be without titles and history? But yeah, wrestling psychology is key for me. As soon as wrestling shoot interviews were a thing in the late 90's - I needed to see them all to learn as much as I could about the 70's and 80's when it was perceived as 'real'. I was a believer as a kid!

I love creating storylines that nobody else would and play with climax... both pay-off and anti.
I get to tell fun stories and I'm a happy man.

Storylines for sure even though I'm not great at coming up with my own but with some direction I tend to do a lot better. I've had the same feud for nearly a year with the same guy even though we haven't been in the same fed since January. We've built it up via twitter and making appearances in other shows. I'm hoping maybe to add that a bit here as well. We've already got the ending planned and it's quickly approaching the first of November.
Outside of that I enjoying pushing myself past my comfort zones in my writing and finding new ways to come up with new ideas.
As much as I enjoy the writing I might enjoy doing graphics even more. I've cut out a lot of that to focus more on my writing.
I want to do a few small shows for my characters NecroCore Auditorium that I have him running in character. I'm really looking forward to that. I have a few ideas but I'm still working on it.

the distraction
when i returned over 5 years ago and restarted SWAT, i was at a bad time in my life, day by day, instead of stewing over my problems gradually, my mind wandered of its own accord to ideas for the game and fed and characters, and less on my rl bs. so rewarding
also seeing how the game was heading and wanting to show how it should be (still holds true today)
(game BS < Real Life BS) always

The fact I get to make up the most absurd stuff I can think of.

At this point, it's friends. If Rob and Martin hadn't asked (begged) me to come back I could have happily stayed off in the sunset. Making stories and having a laugh with two people I consider close friends despite never physically meeting them is what makes this fun.
