After much pondering I figured one way to make it popular was for it to be a side game for an existing game. That way you could 'port' characters into the Wrestling ring from somewhere else, say Quest, Mordheim, warhammer etc. After a couple of trials in making rules to include all of the normal Warhammeresque stats, it became obvious the game would be too complicated.
So I suddenly 'clicked' and decided to turn to the Obvious choice. Blood Bowl. The game makes a wacky sort of sense in the Blood Bowl universe, what with Cabal vision etc, and with the simpler stats and choice of skills, creating a Wrestling game seemed a silly, but logical progression.
Anyway, after struggling with a few aborted attempts, I now finally have a BASIC concept for the game mechanic that I feel might work, based upon a silly but quick and fun little board game called 'Sumo'. Anyway, if there's any interest i'll outline the basic idea of the mechanics and see if we can't evolve a stupid idea into a functioning game.
