anyone interested in developing a WWE RPG?

before you laugh consider that it has a huge fanbase already installed, most of whom spend way too much time on the internet doing weird shit like role-play wrestling leagues and would jump at the chance to play a game like this so the game would actually get noticed outside the pile of crap homemade fantasy RPGs.

additionally, there are plenty of colorful, well established characters and source material to work with. the nature of WWE wrestling itself lends itself to the crazy, ridiculous drama shit that happens in RPGs anyway so it seems like a perfect fit.

anyway i've been kicking around some ideas so shoot me a PM or respond here if you're interested in doing something like this.

Is there oil involved?

pretty ingenious idea imho.

Probably shouldn't be WWE related, but just wrestling in general with a character creation engine similar to CoH. This could actually be a neat game and attract a huge and different crowd.

Yeah... I'm pretty sold on the idea, let us know if anything ever comes of it.

oh, wait, I was thinking MMO. This needs to be an MMO in a bad way, with the same level of entry as freerealms. Could be huge.

This is a crazy idea. You do have a good point... the people that follow WWE would go ape for crap like this. You would be wise to not bother with WWE figures because of obvious copyright issues.

you should make some of the FoH posters into WWE personalities. Get some 2-D profiles like in Phoenix Wright, could be awesome.

How about UFC? Not sure which has a bigger fan base but this might actually be a good idea, I sure wouldn't buy it though.
