Chance Wrestling LIVE! is an experimental federation that will have a locker room full of random talent as well as generated stories ON THE FLY. All things are left up to luck, from the talent pool, to whether or not they'll play the face or the heel, win a title, and even certain storylines, themes, etc will be decided by dice, the flip of a coin, drawing from a hat, and anything else under the sun. And since this is LIVE every moment will happen as I type them out. There is no such thing as brewing on storyline here. This is the place where wrestling meets flash fiction. For those at home who have no clue what the fuck flash fiction is-
Google said:
Flash Fiction: Fiction that is extremely brief, typically only a few hundred words or fewer in its entirety.
Tired of reading through a convoluted mess? Want to see something truly randomized? This is the wrestling federation for you. And since half of this is randomized, that's less work on my part so expect updates on a semi-regular basis.
I'm going to sweeten the pot even more. In a few hours after this post, I will roll a 6-sided die to determine who will be the first person to walk into Chance Wrestling LIVE!. This individual will get the title of General Manager. I have a list already made of six people I feel would add color to the show. After the GM is determined, I'll share the list of the prospects who did not get the chance to be on the roster. I will then flip a coin, and that will reveal whether or not our GM is a face or a heel. I truly hope a few of you get a kick out of that.
Who is it gonna be? Time is tickin'.
To add some suspense, the GM will then produce a list of wrestlers who will get a chance to become part of CWL!. Many will not be selected, and may fade into obscurity. Others will get that shot and become full-fledged members of the roster.
And since we're going LIVE, anybody is welcome to reply to this thread. Tell me how bad this idea is. Worship the ground I walk on for trying something new. I don't care. We're all here to have some fun.
GM Simmons comes out to applause. He is handed a microphone, puts it to his lips, and hesitates. Farooq lowers it and shakes his head. The crowd wants to hear "the thing".
Will he do the thing?
Ron Simmon's Alignment (Judged By The Flip Of A Coin)
Heads = Face
Tails = Heel
He does the thing!
Simmons belts out "Damn!" The venue erupts as if Christmas came early. On the Titantron, three lists appear for the viewers.
Ron Simmons thanks CWL for putting him in a position of power before looking at the Legends List. He tells those watching that the Legends Contract is special. There are various things the victor will be able to have that no other category is allowed. They are:
Iron-Clad Contract (Can't Be Fired)
Chooses Whether Or Not To Compete
If Champion, Gets Final Say In PPV Opponent
If Champion, Can Rename The Title
Gets GM Role If GM Is Unable To Do Their Job
One Title Shot If Able To Compete (Must Be Announced Beforehand)
$$$ is the Cash Money Category. Everyone on this list should be in peak physical condition and able to wrestle immediately in a Main Event fight. Their contract differs from Legends with having none of the above perks, but they will be making double the amount of money.
Cash Money II are expected to be in the Main Event as well, under the condition that they are able to perform and have a consistent win streak. No major difference between the Cash Money Categories.
More Categories are to follow. There are 10 in total, and depending on luck, there is the Second Chance Option. I will flip a coin to decide whether or not those on the lists that weren't picked in the primaries will get a shot at making the draft again. If not, then a new talent pool will be created until the Chance Wrestling LIVE!'s roster looks heavy enough for a show.
Steve Austin is seen in the gorilla position. He is finishing his beer, hears his music start up, and gets off of his ass. Stone Cold gets to the curtain...
Steve Austin's Alignment
Heads = Face
Tails = Heel
...and proceeds to walk the opposite direction! The fans are confused, and they grow angry. GM Simmons shakes his head and shrugs, unsure of why anyone would blatantly ignore getting their Legends Contract. To try and calm the crowd, Ron announces the winner of the Cash Money Category!
The dice lands on #5 twice in a row! The Heartbreak Kid swaggers out to a crowd that has come alive to his upbeat music. The General Manager offers him a handshake. Shawn Michaels reaches out...
Shawn Michaels's Alignment
Heads = Face
Tails = Heel
...and jerks back, not respecting Simmons's gesture. The entire arena is completely baffled as The Show Stopper laughs at the look on Farooq's face. Thinking maybe Shawn was being a jokester as Shawn is wont to do, Simmons offers him another handshake. Michaels points at himself, and mouths how he has to earn that handshake. He then climbs back out and smiles at the audience.
Hoping for some reprieve, Simmons announces the third and final entrant into this round's cast of CWL! Superstars.
The Prizefighter himself doesn't come out. Instead, he is shown on the Titantron in place of the 3 Categories. He nods at the audience, who appear happy to see him. He thanks Chance Wrestling for the opportunity to compete on their show, and thanks GM Simmons for doing his job fairly well for somebody who only just started that day. He couldn't make it there in person, though, because...
Kevin Owens's Alignment
Heads = Face
Tails = Heel
My quarter winds up giving me a Tails for the third time in a row, so the first batch of superstars must play as heels! Owens tells those watching that he couldn't make it due to not getting paid enough. He's a Prizefighter after all. The purse should be $$$$, not $$$ he says. But it's okay. He'll expect compensation when he gets in the ring. GM Simmons stared with dead eyes, completely shocked at what Owens said and his misfortune at announcing three people who don't seem all that interested in the show. As the feed for Owens cuts, Simmons announces the next batch of Categories for Chance Wrestling LIVE!
Remember that Category 5 was to fill in the GM Role, so there won't be a second dip in that this batch of superstars. There may however be another chance for one of the 5 people remaining to fill in a regular Manager role, depending on the Second Chance Option.
And there you have it for Part 1 of the Draft. With Simmons getting nothing but assholes to work with so far, it may be a tough road ahead for CWL!. But it can't rain all the time as there will surely be a moment where the quarter lands on Heads.
...Right?
Expect more twists and turns as we are LIVE!

GM Ron Simmons is no longer present. Instead, the camera cuts to a locker room full of potential wrestlers and one of them is Chris Jericho. He spots the camera and...
Y2J's Alignment
Heads = Face
Tails = Heel
He breaks the chain of villains! CWL introduces its first active face wrestler. Jericho gives the camera a knowing nod and a wink. There is now somebody out there with the fans' best interests at heart. He looks away and claps, knowing the next batch of superstars are a special Category all their own.
We continue L̛Í̵̧VE͘͠!͜҉
The entire arena goes pitch black! The titantron flickers, and we get the image of a dragon. Slowly, a spotlight illuminates the runway. Drago...
Drago's Alignment
Heads = Face
Tails = Heel
doesn't show. Instead, the tron changes from the dragons to Drago himself. He lets his black, vile tongue droop disgustingly before the arena goes dark again. As quickly as it happened, the CWL! crowd bickered amongst themselves, wondering what was up with this enigmatic entity.
They are seen with the same group of talent Chris Jericho is a part of. Simon Gotch exclaims loudly and Aiden English twirls his mustache. Y2J goes up to them and slaps their backs, telling them all three of them made it to the big leagues and he hopes they can work together to make CWL! special. The Vaudevillains hesitate...
The Vaudevillains' Alignment
Heads = Face
Tails = Heel
Vaudevillains won't be villains! They shake hands with Jericho and wish him good fortune for the wars to come.
The Chance Wrestling LIVE! Roster is coming together fairly nicely I think, but there is still a ways to go before a show can be made. There is still the Second Chance to be determined, and three more categories to go. I'm going to do something a little different with this new batch, so stay tuned for that.
For the second time in a row, the quarter lands on heads as a short video of Becky Lynch's charisma and athletic prowess plays for the loving audience.
Last Chance.
Now that the draft is almost officially over, it's crunch time. I will flip a coin right now to determine whether or not to continue using the listed superstars. If it lands on Heads, I must create new categories along with a fresh selection. If it lands on Tails, I will continue using those previously made.
ei. Category 1 (Legends), I'd roll a 6-sided dice to see who remaining gets a second chance to be part of CWL. Steve Austin is already a member, so if the die rolled his number again, I'd have to re-roll. Cena, Lesnar, etc. will have the chance to join Austin as a Legend.
Heads = I'm Going To Create An Entire Different Batch Of Wrestlers
Tails = I'm Keeping What I Have And Drawing From The Same Well
Aw shit, son. Everybody gets another chance. People like Bayley, The Undertaker, Antonio Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, and Sami Zayn will have the opportunity to be a part of something special. Be on the lookout for that again. Here is a recap of those left over:
You didn't think this post would be nothing but the draft, did you? Oh no. There is the venue still left to imagine here. Here is where things get LIVE! I WILL NEED YOU, READER, TO HELP ME WITH THIS. Either post here or PM me your vote. We gotta have a place to have these combatants fight, right? So where will it be?
...a gymnasium?
...an actual arena?
...a county fair?
...a small stage?
It all depends on you. Take a chance and get back to me. We're creating a promotion together through sheer luck and creative minds. I'll give this vote a few days and sometime this weekend run with whatever garners the most talk..
This also tells me how interested you guys are in this and if I should keep it going.
CWL! will also be premiering soon!

And there we have it. The roster is set, and everybody else has to seek employment elsewhere. We're getting the ball running with the first show -- a reminder that it will be written in flash fiction style. So when I have time to write, it will go directly here. Every error, insane bit I can think of, etc will be right here for the world to see. It won't be immediate due to classwork and it being midterms and all, but expect it sometime in the coming weeks.
This will be the last time you guys see the roster look this way, too. Next update shall be a graphic, so it may take a while.

Things are shaping up. The first installment of CWL! will take place momentarily, and hopefully it'll be an acceptable read. If you have not, it may help to subscribe to this thread to keep up with any goings on or other fun little nicknacks I like to do with this type of thing. I may get bored and make posters, sigs, whatever for this game. Thanks to everybody that already has. Hope you're enjoying the road so far.
* Chance Wrestling LIVE! features matchups that were written on paper, split up in two different piles (heels & faces), and drawn from a baseball cap with a Targaryen sigil on it. Everything has already been selected, but those mentioned are the headliners for this event. Not everyone will get the opportunity to get screentime with this being the first PPV event. Stipulations are still a possibility. Card is always subject to change.
** Please keep in mind that this work will be flash fiction. Most of the goings on in the pay per view will be to progress a story. There will be little to no detail on the fights themselves unless narrative dictates it is needed. But wins and losses will indeed matter, for if someone like Shawn Michaels loses consistently, their position on the totem pole will drop significantly. Someone like Heath Slater, a jobber in reality, can climb the ranks through luck and participate in the Main Event.
The headline for the first show will be written in Drabble and filtered through Word Counter Tool.
LIVE! at the FairGrounds of Anywhere, USA.
Shawn Michaels, true to his new persona, "The TrollFace Kid", stunned the wrestling world last night. He executed a record 20 Superkicks to the face of Brock Lesnar before vacating the premises. He was counted out, resulting in a win for Lesnar. Due to the graphic and humiliating way he combated The Beast Incarnate, a bloodied Lesnar demanded a rematch with Michaels. GM Ron Simmons confirmed that next episode Shawn won't be able to walk out, because the match is Falls Count Anywhere. To sweeten the pot, Simmons brought up the victor possibly earning a shot at the Chance Championship.

The Vaudevillains vs. Rhyno & Mil Muertes
______________________________
Due to his contract, Stone Cold cannot be fired. He can't wrestle either. He seems well aware of this as he starts to plant seeds in what appears to be a hostile takeover. He was seen talking to Kevin Owens about forming an alliance to overthrow the structure of the new show and to restore the company to normalcy. Owens agreed that he isn't interested in working with Simmons, especially after HBK "pretty much wiped his ass on live television" by kicking Lesnar so many times the audience grew to hate it. Owens told Austin he will definitely consider it.

Becky Lynch vs. Local Talent
______________________________
Scott Steiner was seen outside posting flyers. "Now Hiring Client" the posters said, with a visibly perfect Freakzilla smiling down at the three words. Kill Shot passed by the seasoned veteran, and was stopped immediately. He was promptly asked (loudly) if he wanted to be a winner. Kill Shot replied that he was already a winner. Steiner grunted and shrugged the new star off, mumbling about how "he looked like a fucking Indy guy anyways". Of all people, Heath Slater showed up, and asked if he can be managed by Poppa Pump. Steiner only stared at him as cameramen watched.

Drago vs. Chris Jericho
______________________________
Simmons would have more than an irate Lesnar to deal with on his first night. Several superstars who were selected from the Second Chance Lottery had a few choice words for him. Finn Balor, who has seemed to align himself with King Cuerno and Paige, demanded the GM give them top billing next week. "It is not our fault we weren't picked first. People like Chris Jericho and Kill Shot did nothing to deserve their place on the card. They should earn that spot!" Simmons did agree, stating that the 3 will fight next week in a Six-Man Tag Match.

Kevin Owens vs. Batista
______________________________
The first night of Ron Simmon's job was truly filled with setbacks. From an uncaring wrestling icon to a slew of angry employees, he has his work cut out for him. There is also the very real threat of Stone Cold Steve Austin to worry about, and the world is watching.
Everything about this evening, especially the main event, was by luck. For the headline attraction, I flipped for who would win, but I couldn't stop there. I flipped for whether or not Michaels would pull a dick move, and it turned positive. Taking the liberty of giving him multiple spamming kicks, I rolled a 20-sided dice and it was indeed a Nat20. Now there's a furious Lesnar and a Falls Count Anywhere Match to set up a possible contender for the unseen Chance Championship.
All other things (besides who would win) was done spur-of-the moment on wordcounttools.com. I made sure no matter what was written, it did not exceed 100 words.
All episodes from here on out will be done short and sweet, excluding the occasional Sudden Flash Fiction. This is not a fantasy wrestling program where you'll see everything that happens in the ring. Focus will be on the stories themselves.
(Next Episode: The Second Chance Draft gets a moment in the sun...Steve Austin waits for an answer from Kevin Owens...A Falls Count Anywhere Match with a huge payoff...all this and more.)
