Maybe actual gladiator shit. Like with swords and shields. Inside an actual romanesque arena?
That'd be interesting...

I think my other post was too quick to dismiss so i'm going to actually explain my problem with it basically.
I'm not entirely sure what you have in mind but the way I see it there's two ways you could do this, either they have actual weapons or they have fake weapons. If they have actual weapons it is pretty unreasonable to say that a bunch of professional wrestlers could swordfight without anyone being maimed, and if you're using fake weapons there's no way a crowd would take it seriously.
I know this is coming from someone who's old RPs were often just strings of non-sequitors but the whole idea is a step too unrealistic for me. ICW is over the top even by efed standards but it at least usually stays within the realm of things i'd expect to actually see on a wrestling show if I still watched it, even if injuries, etc. are unrealistically uncommon with the kind of stuff we do. I can't imagine WWE having a gladiator match and if they did I can only imagine it being hilariously corny, so thats pretty much how I feel about this idea.
So, yeah. Thats way more thought than neccessary put into this.

I can see it now!
Not necessarily a weapons match with swords and shit, per se.
But some kind of Gladiator cage, made out of...pillars...or something. Weapons strewn throughout.
Or some kind of maze...
Hmmm...gimmick matches RULE!

a little off topic, but once we get things going a little stronger, i'd be more than willing to bring back "the tonight show with dan hampton" angle as a piper's pit-style bit, if anyone would be interested.
