E-wrestler

From the eWrestling Encyclopedia.

An e-wrestler is the character which is played by most handlers in e-wrestling and is the virtual wrestler which handlers control in whichever e-federation they are in. E-wrestlers have varying degrees of skill, often directly related to the role-playing skill of their handler, and have varying degrees of personality and character.

Although some federations use real wrestlers, most are full of original e-wrestlers with bases and gimmicks ranging from the serious and dark to the comical and light-hearted. In e-wrestling communities, many handlers are known better by their characters name than by their own. Normally, a person would have just the one e wrestler but sometimes to either bring up a federation in e-wrestling they may choose two or three e wrestlers in order to have more e-wrestlers fighting.

Sometimes a handler will run a tag team by themselves either through choice or because a writing partner has left the federation.

It should be noted that recently there have been reports that the major wrestling companies have been cracking down on the use of their copyrighted content. E-feds based on the WWE and TNA have either been foreced to close or remove anything connected to these companies.
