First off, to get us in the moodā¦
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?
Wellā¦letās 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 canāt pull off the moves, theyāre not safe enough and end up legitimately hurting their opponent, theyāre 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, canāt act, etc), this is the option for them.
4) No on the microphone skills / No on the wrestling skills: Your character wouldnāt cut it at all as a pro-wrestler. Sorry, but itās a tough job! Not everyone can do it.

How to submit:
Initially, Iād have it through my ask box. But since that got a little annoying to manage, hereās a Google Doc for submissions!
Once again, the same rules I had in place when I was ācan-they-do-a-RKOā apply. NO REAL PEOPLE (unless theyāre 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 blogās fictional universe wrestling league:
In addition to the main polls, Iām also running my own, in-universe wrestling league called ABW (All Blorbo Wrestling). Who is in the league? All your faves, thatās who!
In order to keep track of the lore/timeline, I made the following Google Doc for my own benefit. But Iām also making it available for the public to view:
THE SCHEDULE (Iāll try my best to keep to this schedule for my blog) Monday Night Fresh Tuesday Night NXTB (Next X-Treme Tumblr Blorbo) Fri
