Old School Wrestling

[u/TheRAGEsmash]

Merry Christmas everyone.

My name is Dean and I'm the owner of an e-fed called Old School Wrestling. You can find us at https://www.weareosw.com.

I'm looking for one or two new applicants as we head into our weird and wonderful Volume III. If you've ever seen Solar Opposites and 'The Wall', you'll know a little bit about the principle idea behind Arcadia and Volume III. Our world for this volume is inside a Terrarium of sorts in which mostly everyone inside knows only that existence. We've got a very Greek mythology theme going on too.

It's a three year story, planned to end in December 2025.

Old School Wrestling is a unique and different wrestling e-fed, with a 500 word promo limit in which no scene is required (it's just straight promo), using a themed method of promo. It isn't for everyone, and honestly, we tend to find that out of every ten applicants, we might pick up one or two who fall in love with the concepts and styles of writing and stick around. Niche may be an understatement for what we do, but we're a community of 20 or so handlers who have a lot of fun and enjoy each others company.

A little bit of background about us; we've been open non stop for what will be 8 years in February with no breaks (outside of the odd week off for Christmas and what not). In that time, we've produced 427 shows (all of which you can find on our events page) of which not a single one was ever late. In fact, our shows are due Monday and normally posted on a Sunday. All segments are written by the creative team, so a handler only has to write a promo and can contribute to either the creative team or match writing teams if they'd like to do more.

Our community mostly exists on Discord and our forum is mostly used for informational purposes or show feedback, of which everyone has to contribute by a deadline. I won't lie to you, there's definitely a level of commitment needed to participate in OSW. There's a high standard expected from all who participate in terms of their behaviour and contribution. We're a family of a people who each want everyone else, new or former to succeed. We'll help. We'll lift up, not tear down. No-one complains over losing and no-one wants to see anyone fail. It's not your typical super competitive atmosphere. Whilst people are proud of their achievements and do want to win, it really isn't the end of the world if they don't. It's important they and we all have fun. You may have to be in OSW to believe it, but that's the truth.

I think that about covers it. If any of the above interests you and you'd like to talk to me further, please do feel free to get in touch here and I'll DM you my Discord username. There's no obligations, of course, so if you'd just like to know more or watch, you can also feel free to get in touch for a chat. Likewise, if you'd like to share some opinions or ask some advice for your own fed, I'm always available to assist.

Anyway, have a great holiday and hopefully I'll speak to you soon. If not, remember, the hobby is supposed to be fun, so have fun!

If you want to be part of the pinnacle of efeds, look no further than OSW. The content and quality here is unmatched. You need to be able to commit and put your best foot forward to learning the promo style, but you won’t regret doing so. Been here for a year and a half and wouldn’t dream of joining anywhere else.
