First off, to get us in the mood…
So, you think your faves have what it takes to make it in the WWE? Or TNA, NXT, AEW, ECW, ROH, GCW, NJPW, and all the other wrestling company acronyms out there?
Well…let’s see! Through the power of Tumblr democracy, we will determine if your fave has what it takes to be a professional wrestler.

How will this work?
The polls will have the following options:
1) Yes on the microphone skills / Yes on the wrestling skills: Pro-wrestling material! Not only can they wow an audience with their in-ring skills, they also got the acting chops needed to cut a promo.
2) Yes on the microphone skills / No on the wrestling skills: They got the acting chops, but they suck in the ring. Either they can’t pull off the moves, they’re not safe enough and end up legitimately hurting their opponent, they’re boring to watch fight, or some other reason you can think of.
3) No on the microphone skills / Yes on the wrestling skills: So your character can definitely pull off an entertaining match. But can they cut a promo? If you feel the character ends up embarrassing themselves if they have to sell a storyline (too boring, bad at public speaking, goes off-script too much, can’t act, etc), this is the option for them.
4) No on the microphone skills / No on the wrestling skills: Your character wouldn’t cut it at all as a pro-wrestler. Sorry, but it’s a tough job! Not everyone can do it.

How to submit:
Initially, I’d have it through my ask box. But since that got a little annoying to manage, here’s a Google Doc for submissions!
Once again, the same rules I had in place when I was “can-they-do-a-RKO” apply. NO REAL PEOPLE (unless they’re playing a fictionalized version of themselves).
Acceptable: Jay Baruchel as himself in This is the End
Unacceptable: Jay Baruchel

The lore/timeline stuff for my blog’s fictional universe wrestling league:
In addition to the main polls, I’m also running my own, in-universe wrestling league called ABW (All Blorbo Wrestling). Who is in the league? All your faves, that’s who!
In order to keep track of the lore/timeline, I made the following Google Doc for my own benefit. But I’m also making it available for the public to view:
THE SCHEDULE (I’ll try my best to keep to this schedule for my blog) Monday Night Fresh Tuesday Night NXTB (Next X-Treme Tumblr Blorbo) Fri
