Fantasy Wrestling - E-wrestling

E-wrestling

E-wrestling has evolved as a term for an Internet variation on creative roleplay, based on the world of professional wrestling. The basic premise is that the player (also called a handler) creates a character, and manages his or her career in a fictional professional wrestling promotion, called an "E-Federation" (or E-Fed).

Much like the term "e-mail" became the abbreviation for electronic mail, the term "e-wrestling" became common in the mid-to-late 1990s once fantasy wrestling moved from a primarily play-by-mail format and instead began to use online bulletin boards, then internet service providers (ISPs) and ad hoc webpages.
