Something that I have been wondering, is why is ok for people to say for instance, Tuxedo Mask is a Sailor Moon (this or that) but while doing so are parading around with Adam Cole pic base and entering the ring to his song. (just an example)

You mean he’s not using a cosplay pic or stage show version of Tuxedo mask as a pic base? I didn’t see that one coming, lol

its as blurred line
you cant call me my pic base wanna be cause i have a dif name to him
you can use a person from pop culture in your rp, its fun and good, but you cant BE him as your main character
its a weird game like that

I actually have no problem with irl wrestlers showing up, for that the idea is that we stole them from [insert real company]. Tuxedo mask is interesting specifically you because like you said, he’s from an anime. Do we accept that anime as canon to our world, assume it’s a gimmick based on that anime in our world, or pretend that the anime doesn’t exist in our world- or if it does, doesn’t have Tuxedo mask. Tuxedo mask, you are the ultimate enigma

For the Network on a global level it’s anything goes as long as the pic base works (so a real picture). The XHF had a lot of irl wrestlers pop in and out at various times and even win titles. But fed-to-fed some places aren’t down with it
When we launched the Network the big debate was if we’d do a global 1-character-per-picbase rule. But I want to give feds more independence/allow for infinite growth so we leave that to the feds too. If two guys with the same pic base face off on a global card we’ll just have to use different pictures of said guy for the graphic, lol.

its all personal preference. writing Pesci was up there with booking EC to rise to the top for me, 2 of my fav times, One booking a great character, another a npc getting over to the moon
main stand out to me, if its fun, go for it

I think in terms of real life wrestlers, we all kind of acknowledge that the e-fed built universe came from wrestling at some nebulous point in the past(Justin can chime in) but I think the NeWA/WfWA/NWC/CAL/EMCW circle generally considers everything after about 1995 to be in-universe when things like the WWF, Blah blah stopped existing. So for my continuity, If Gotch was still alive, if you have the cheek to write him into a promo, it might be a bit trash, but it works. What about Bryan Danielson? Well he is clearly after the "cut-off" So I wouldn't have him in a Scott Steel rp.
I think if a community agrees on a continuity, that's the key thing. If XHF says that this exists side by side with what is actually going on in the real world, relating to wrestling? That's cool. If they are like after x point, we are our own continuity and those other things stopped being existant, that's cool too.
I think writing a real person/wrestler/historical tree, in general, is dicey. But I certainly don't see any issue with someone giving it a shot.

I mean, if you’re looking for the Network’s official stance it’s in this post: xhf09.proboards.com/thread/12925/xhf-network-history-worldWe’re pretty open to a lot of it because it makes things easier for rpers. Often less experienced rpers are still wading into the pool and will make outside wrestling references (or try to straight up be their favorite wrestler) so this way they can come in and work with more experienced guys and get more into the fed world proper Heck, we tried to change the president for four years (after he got killed during TGK’s major storyline) and got so many complaints even from experienced fedders. So folks like that irl net to catch references, lol

And also had Donny Brasco and Jimmy Conway though, who are clearly fictional. But then again who's to say that, seeing as the whole fed was fictional.
