Pure Wrestling
The Pure Wrestling 24/7 Championship was born in late November of 2009, as a response to the slowdown in activity in the hardcore division and a number of pure wrestling focused performers who were working in Federation X. The idea was born in a Powerbase conversation in which it was proposed as an angle that might be run for a duration of time, during which the Bloodsport Division would be suspended. We see Pure Wrestling as an interesting twist on the idea of a 24/7 championship, and we hope that it will open competition up on a daily basis to new characters. We have a strong formula for the effective use of a 24/7 championship, and under the guise of it being the strictest of wrestling rules that players will fight under, this can be either a dominated title, or one that changes hands frequently. As you play through it from an RP standpoint, remember that in PURE WRESTLING matches the following (normally permitted) are not allowed:
- Throwing your opponent over the top rope.
- Leaving the ring on purpose.
- Closed fist striking.
- Climbing the ropes.
Pure Wrestling Rules
- You may only challenge for the Pure Wrestling Championship if you hold no other singles title.
- You may only challenge for the Pure Wrestling Championship once per day.
- For RP purposes it is a 24/7 championship with matches held during the daily Polarity house shows.
-
You must follow the steps below:
- Post on the RP Board, playing out your challenge. Title must include 'Pure Wrestling Challenge' in it.
-
After you make the challenge on the RP Board you may sim up to four matches against the current Pure Wrestling Champion. The matches must be simmed within 30 minutes of the challenge. If you score 5 points total, you win. Otherwise the champion retains. But note these stipulations:
- If you receive a loss by disqualification you automatically lose the challenge (because it means you cheated!)
- If you receive a win by disqualification you automatically win the challenge (because it means the champion cheated!)
- You must roleplay the WIN/LOSS within 1 hr of the matches being simmed. You must have 'WIN' or 'LOSS' in the title of the result RP.
- You may only use standard matches in your challenge.
- If you win in the first two or three matches (achieve 5 points) you are not required to sim the final match(es.)
- You may not challenge for the title once it has been booked to be defended on an upcoming card. You must wait until after the results for that card are posted before you challenge for it.
- There is no rematch clause built into this title.
- Holding this belt does not remove you from contention for other belts, nor must you vacate it if you win another belt.
NOTE: All posts must be a minimum of 350 words, or they will be overturned.
Pure Wrestling Rules Subsection 4.02: The Nate Daniels Addendum
Dissatisfied with the level of challenges he was receiving, former champion Nate Daniels petitioned The Power base for the addition of a rule that would allow the champion to reverse challenge wrestlers. Approved by Krusher, these rules allow the champion to choose an opponent and defend the title against them. The process works as follows:
- For RP purposes it is a 24/7 championship with matches held during the daily Polarity house shows.
-
You must follow the steps below:
- Post on the RP Board, playing out your challenge. Title must include 'Pure Wrestling Challenge' in it.
-
After you make the challenge on the RP Board you may sim up to four matches against the current Pure Wrestling Champion. The matches must be simmed within 30 minutes of the challenge. If you score 5 points total, you win. Otherwise the champion retains. But note these stipulations:
- If you receive a loss by disqualification you automatically lose the challenge (because it means you cheated!)
- If you receive a win by disqualification you automatically win the challenge (because it means the champion cheated!)
- You must roleplay the WIN/LOSS within 1 hr of the matches being simmed. You must have 'WIN' or 'LOSS' in the title of the result RP.
- You may only use standard matches in your challenge.
- If you win in the first two or three matches (achieve 5 points) you are not required to sim the final match(es.)
NOTE: All posts must be a minimum of 350 words, or they will be overturned.
Pure Wrestling Rules Subsection 1.12: The #^%$ You Nancy Decision
A Pure Wrestling Champion who is not currently engaged in a Pure Wrestling title defense may request that The Powerbase decommission the Pure Wrestling title belt and instead install them as the Bloodsport Champion. If this occurs, the Pure Wrestling Championship is suspended, and will not be available for challenge until such time as The Powerbase reinstitutes it.
