Poll: Which one describes you? You do not have permission to vote in this poll.
I usually try to play along with anything and everything, and am able to use it to my advantage because it gives me even more material to work with!	66.67%	12	66.67%
I usually will try and shoot down gimmicks, no sell attacks, etc... I'm more of a "handler vs handler" type of guy than a storyteller	5.56%	1	5.56%
I'll usually play along as long as it's not TOO over the top sci-fi or unrealistic bullshit. If it's over the top, but the person is good at making their influence felt IN SHOWS (not just RPs) I may be more likely to play along instead of crapping on the gimmick	22.22%	4	22.22%
I have a very specific outlook I'm describing in my reply below...	5.56%	1	5.56%
Total		18 vote(s)	100%

It honestly depends. For example, former UFC/MMA fighter? Yeah, I'll sell that and talk about them as a legitimate threat. As well as someone who, in general, has a badass type of character or is just big in general.

Superhero/special powers & abilities? Nah, I'm gonna call that out and act like its special effects.

So I guess, for me, it specifically depends on the situation.

As for a backstage attack I didn't expect, I'd also sell that(as I did when Engy and company attacked me after a match, I used that as the premise of my following RP and felt it was decently done).

Makes sense. So basically you'll sell the gimmicks that are a little more real. Can I ask where that line was drawn originally? Was there a wrestling company that did it that way or is this just your own take? Like, as a fan, were you always wishing guys like Taker and Kane, etc... would just have all their opponents make fun of them and talk about special effects?
