The North American Foundation of Wrestling started as a "real wrestler" e-fed in the summer of 2000. Known then as simply Fantasy Wrestling, or FW, it quickly grew to be one of EZBoard’s most popular and successful e-feds. After September 23, 2000, Fantasy Wrestling was renamed New Age Fantasy Wrestling, and the e-fed continued to serve as a roleplay battleground for handlers of real and original characters. In order to establish itself as a more realistic sounding e-fed, the acronym NAFW was changed to mean the North Atlantic Foundation of Wrestling. Claiming roots in New York City, the NAFW continued to go unmatched in excellence as the premiere EZBoard e-fed. Over time, the quality of roleplays exponentially increased. With this better quality of writing, real life wrestlers were also taken out of the mix in favor of developing original creations. By the end of 2003, the remaining real wrestlers were gone, as sign-ups to roleplay as a real wrestler had been ended quite some time earlier. A fiercely competitive roleplay environment was in place, demanding excellence week after week after week. The NAFW became the bar of quality for all other e-feds on the internet.
The trash talking was some of the best on the web, but as time progressed, handlers became more interested in developing their characters and the stories surrounding them. While this increased the writing quality of the roleplays, it also led the NAFW down a new avenue: angling. The NAFW never became a full angle fed, but quite often, handlers collaborated to angle their feuds and match results. The administration encouraged handlers to work with each other and facilitate their own character development and feud plans. Towards the end of the NAFW’s first run, it had taken on the aura of a hybrid roleplay/angle fed, even if in the end the results were still determined by who out-roleplayed who.
In August 2006, the NAFW was relaunched and renamed the North American Foundation of Wrestling. This rebirth meant that the NAFW is officially a Hybrid Roleplay / Angle e-fed. We are looking for the most well rounded handlers to produce some of the world’s most unique characters to participate in this e-fed. Our television shows take the Angle-Fed style approach emphasizing writing Segments and Match Strategies for the shows, while our Pay Per View events emphasize traditional competitive Roleplay-Fed rules. We believe this balance will allow for time constrained people to still participate in an exciting e-fed environment without the extra burden of having to pump out at least two fiercely competitive roleplays every week, as is the custom of many other e-feds.
The high level of competition is still in place, but to be successful, you have to know how to do more than write a lot of trash talk. To completely understand what we are talking about, take a look at the Rules page, where our Hybrid Roleplay / Angle style of e-fedding is explained in full. If you think you have what it takes to show the world you have one of the most exciting wrestlers in all of e-wrestling, then the NAFW is the place to prove it.
