One of the toughest parts of e-wrestling is creating an e-wrestler. many people don't take time they should to create an e-wrestler. Too many come up with a tough guy name, slap on a few stats (like he's 7' 6" and weighs 450 lbs.), add a well known "devastating finisher and a few more finishers for their move list and the go at it. Their role-plays (or "RPs" for short) consist of things like

"I'm the toughest guy and I can beat anybody in SMACKDOWN! Busta B-Diddy, I'm coming after you! I gonna kick you @$$!!!"

Uh, huh. Sorry, Suzie, you won't last very long in most e-feds! You must add depth to your character. Take your time creating the character.

Of course, the basics of an e-wrestler are his name, height, weight, hometown etc. Don't overdo it with size and weight. There aren't very many real wrestler who are actually over 7 feet.

After choosing the basics, decide what your e-wrestler actually looks like. Decide on his skin, hair and eye colors. Decide on facial features. Does he have a beard, moustache or other distinctive features? How about tattoos or scars? Choose his build. Is he muscular, lean or obese?

Next comes his attire. Does he wear long tights or trunks? Does he wear wristbands, elbow pads, etc. Is he a masked wrestler? What color are his boots or does he even wear boots?

Now, choose a finisher and other moves. Many finishers are over used such as powerbombs, DDTs and frogspashes. Choose something a little more unique, perhaps something not used by famous real wrestlers. The finisher should have a name to it that fits in with your character. This finisher should reflect the style of wrestling you want your wrestler to use, i.e. high flyer, powerhouse, brawler, etc. brawler.

Choosing a background for your character is extremely important. Write up a good biography for him. What inspired him to become a pro wrestler, etc?
