Now I know not everyone on LDWA is new to Match Write Feds but some people are and this is a good way to get an idea of how things should be done.
This Guideline is courtesy of Desperado and thanks to him as well... I have edited a few things to fit into LDWA and my style better but the basis is all his.
Thanks Desp!
(1):: First you post your entrance, possibly sticking with the one you posted for you contract. You should describe your entrance focusing on the following.
(i)- How you come out through the entrance.
e.g. fireworks erupt, pyro's, Rey Misterio's entrance etc.
(ii)- Describe your clip that shows on the titantron as well mentioning your entrance music.
e.g. Moves your wrestler is known for, maybe some kind of music video to go with the song you picked for your entrance.
(iii)- Talk about what you are wearing, your attire.
e.g. boots, pants, shirt, no shirt, long hair, short hair etc. etc.
(iv)- Call the match as the Announcer. Mention the superstar, the match type, superstar weight and height.
e.g. Bebe: This match is scheduled for One Fall, now making his way to the ring "Name" weighing in at "weight" and standing "height".
(v)- How you walk down the ramp and the way the crowd judges, cheers or boo's. You could mention some of the signs they are holding up.
(vi)- Use the commentators to describe what you are doing and why they think this. Also it sets a sense of reality.
(vii)- Write about how you enter the ring and what you do once you are in there.
(2):: Second, you write a short Roleplay if you like. This is optional in which you can build the feud or just trash talk.
(3):: Once the other superstar has posted their entrance you may begin the matchup.
The match typically starts with the referee calling for the bell. Start off with more technical moves like holds and strikes. Describe each superstars reaction and actions trying to add detail so the other person can picture what is happening.
Whilst doing this add posts of commentary in between from the commentators talking about exciting bits on the match or what they think is going to happen.
Write up between 3-6 paragraphs of wrestling in each post after the entrance with each paragraph holding 4-8 lines. The limit to the post is optional.
Once the match has started to get going, you can get onto other moves like high-power or aerialist moves. You can mention pins breaking up and superstar reactions. Put in a few trademark moves.
((Remember to use your opponents and your own move set-list. Don't move too far away from the contract. I don't mind you using a few different moves now and again as long as they match you wrestler type. You can expand on this a bit more once you get more familiarized with match-write RPing.))
Once the match has gone a couple of posts each, you can look upon putting in a finisher or two and mention escaping significant submissions or escaping finishers. Perhaps knocking both superstars out and begin counting them out.
Stick to the superstar personality. Heel stars will try illegal moves whilst the Referee is looking away whilst Faces will grow stronger upon the chanting of the fans.
In cases of speciality matches, improvise to suit the match and use the weapons and stuff to make the match more exciting. Originality is good as long as it stays Realistic to an extent. I don't want to see shotgun's being pulled out or bombs being blown. Mention blood and fatigue in your matches if they have gone through long as this is another sign of reality.
Also when doing an RP make sure not to use your name and your opponents name every other word. Try and use a nickname or use the size difference to describe what move was done by who rather then using names every 2 words.
e.g. "The Big man" "the smaller opponent"
These guidelines may be improved further but use them as they are for now.
