Thank you for choosing Pure Class Wrestling. Since we no longer have an HTML site, the rules will be posted here. Please make sure you read, understand, and intend to follow the rules to continue your run in Pure Class Wrestling. Continuing on from this point, it will be assumed you have read and agreed to the rules.
Thank You,
PCW Management
General Rules
1.) The decisions made by Management are final. If you have a serious disagreement with a certain decision, please, feel free to contact Management and we’ll discuss the issue with you as best as we can.
If you do decide that a discussion is in need, please remember to handle yourself civilly. Coming to Management with a bad attitude will do you no favors, and we have no problems cutting people with poor attitudes, especially those who complain about losses.
2a.) The use of theme songs and/or character base pictures are on a first come-first served basis. Also, PCW has the right to hold and reserve songs and pictures for future uses. If you’d like to know whether a particular picture or song is reserved or already in use, please contact Management.
2b.) No one will be allowed to use a character base picture and/or a theme song that is already in use without permission from Management. For more information concerning this rule, please contact Management.
2c.) Although use of the same base picture is generally prohibited, you may use a picture of the same person, in a different look. For example, if you want to use the old, purple [and/or gray] gloved Undertaker as your character base picture, someone else can use the American Bad Ass [aka Biker Taker] look as their character base picture.
3.) This could have been added to the Roleplay Rules section, but I feel it is a big enough issue to be mentioned in the General Rules section. In PCW we employed a strict, “No In-Ring/Arena” Roleplaying Policy.
PCW strongly encourages Character Development roleplays over traditional “promo” roleplays. However, if you have the urge to interact with your fellow handlers, or want to write an Arena RP, we do allow it in our "Around the Arena" roleplay section.
Any RPs posted on the aforementioned board will not be graded or used when determining winners in matches. That said, any roleplays written that contain, “In-Ring/Arena” roleplays that are not posted in the correct area will be ignored, possibly deleted, and not acknowledged as part of PCW canon. For more information on this rule, please contact Management.
4.) PCW has the right to change and modify its rules at their discretion and without notice. However, if the rules are to be modified, Management will usually send out notification of doing so. Still, with that said, please check up on the rules often to see if anything has changed.
5.) Pure Class Wrestling was created with the intention of having fun. Please refrain from applying to PCW if you have a habit of being a troublemaker. If you wish to argue In-Character, please, feel free to. But if you have issues with someone Out-of-Character, please keep them off the Community Forums. If push comes to shove, and the handlers involved cannot handle their issues maturely, Management will try to mediate as best as possible.
If we cannot come to a conclusion, Management will do their best at keeping the parties at a distance, and we recommend that the parties involve refrain from communicating with one another. Remember, efedding is suppose to be something done for fun. Let’s keep that in mind and enjoy our time together.
Roleplaying Rules
1a.) For both Trauma and Pay-Per-View events, only one RP will be used when determining a winner. You still may RP as many times as you like, for there is no specific roleplay limit, but only your best roleplay, as determined by the Roleplaying Grading System, will be used for determining the winner of a match.
1b.) In the case of tag team action, of all sorts, each member of the team will only need to post one roleplay. Winners will be determined by the team with the best overall team score.
*Exceptions to the tag team posting rules consist when a team writes as a unit- if that happens, the TEAM will have to write two roleplays, or take the consequence of what posting one rp in a tag match can constitute.
2.) As previously mentioned, there are no specific roleplay limits. However, if you fail to roleplay, prepare to face the likelihood of being squashed. It may not happen, but the possibility is there.
Also, if you fail to roleplay for three (3) consecutive events, without giving Management the proper notice, then your account may be deleted when it comes to issuing roster cuts. PCW delivers roster cuts quite frequently, so please make sure you roleplay or at least give Management proper notice.
3a.) If you chose to include another PCW Character into your roleplays, make sure you have permission from the handler(s)’s of the character(s). As for Non-Played Characters (NPC), such as PCW Staff, make sure you have permission of Management before you attack them in your roleplays. Failure to comply with this request may cause removal from PCW.
3b.) Authority Figures, such as “The Icemann” Luis Malave, Skylar Marshall, Mr. President, and/or Isabella Alexis, are NOT to be used unless you’ve been given the proper permission of Management. Failure to comply with this request may cause immediate removal from PCW.
4.) Cursing/cussing/swearing is allowed to be used in roleplays and segments, but make sure you do not go overboard with its usage. In cases of extreme anger and frustration, the amount of swearing may be a bit more, but please try and be as realistic as possible.
For segments, if you can’t say it on TV, it may be bleeped or edited out.
For roleplays, if your character wouldn’t talk in expletives, don’t write it as such.
5.) PCW frowns upon picture inclusion inside of roleplays. Management requests, at the maximum, not including banners and only if you have to, that you only use three pictures or less. Failure to comply may result in points being deducted from your RP (rare) or images being deleted from your post.
6.) Sandbagging and deadlining is also heavily frowned upon in PCW. Sandbagging and deadlining refers to posting roleplays towards the end of the roleplaying deadline, more often than not, for the sole purpose of helping a handler defeat another. Due to Sandbagging, PCW has instituted an anti-sandbagging rule, affectionately known as the, “LoKi Rule.” Any tim
7. PCW has had handlers who have run characters that were elves, immortal beings, superheroes, vampires, zombies, creatures that live in alternate dimensions, and the demonically possessed. That said, when it comes to results, please understand that PCW will try to use a sense of realism and “powers” aren’t usually used. For further clarification, please seek out Management.
