An OOC of the NecroCore Brand
I’ve broken down a few thoughts in regards to what I’m hoping to create with the NecroCore Auditorium. This is my attempt to cover how I came about creating NecroCore and why.
What does NecroCore mean?
It's the seed that's been planted for which a person builds their fundamental skills of their particular profession.
In this case the profession of professional wrestling.
NecroCore Wrestler's posse an unmatched resolve for the violence, blood, and gore of macabre wrestling. It's more brutal than hardcore. It's more bloody than extreme. It's NecroCore.
nec·ro·man·cer
/ˈnekrəˌmansər/
a person who practices necromancy; a wizard or magician.
core

1. How did NecroCore come into existence?
a.) It began on November 13th 2020 in Action Wrestling and an annual event called XIII. The handler of Corey Black is the brainchild behind this vision and I just happened to be lucky enough to get booked. That event and world creation by him and expanded upon by Action Wrestling took root into my own imagination.
I began my Action Wrestling stay as the masked man called ‘The American Luchador’ Reo Raijin. Around the time of the XIII event I latched onto the story of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. I started think of him as two different individuals as the duality of character was an idea that I really liked.
It was later in Revolution 1 Wrestling, Revo1 for short, that I won my first in character title. It was their own form of hardcore/extreme wrestling that they call HorrorCore. It was around this time that I began playing with the idea of using pop culture villains as part of my characters identity.
During the HorrorCore title reign I was given the option to choose the stipulations of my defense. This is where I came back to the XIII event and the Friday the 13th theme. I settled on a Camp Crystal Lake setting and thus the theme of XIII continued for my character.
It was with my decision to connect with the XHF community that I joined NPW. My debut for Northern Pro just happened to be August 13th. Yet, again, the XIII theme came back into my character’s realm and it just started feeling like this is now a huge part of his identity.
2. What is NecroCore? I’ve never heard of this concept or word previously.
a.) The NecroCore name was a happy accident. I’ve been thinking for about a year about creating a ‘fantasy’ professional wrestler school, academy, or whatever for my own characters. My vision was something like that of The Lion’s Den or the Hart Family Dungeon.
It was with a discussion with a newly acquired friend, Druscilla White. twitter.com/newyorkprophet The two of us tend to have some similar thoughts so I sought out her advice. She instantly came back with NecroNoir which I mistakenly replied within seconds I like ‘NecroCore’ I mean Noir and she kind of put a stamp on it for me. “Oh, that works too!” and the happy accident happened. Thank you Dru for taking the time to shoot ideas back and forth.
3. Defining NecroCore Auditorium.
a.) I knew from the beginning that I wanted to incorporate some ECW Legend Raven into my character. I’ve always been a huge fan of his and wanted to use him as the building blocks for the mold of Lochlyn Cade.
Like Raven I felt like he needed his own ‘special’ type of match. Which then became, he needs his ‘own’ unique style of wrestling, and thus NecroCore was born.
NecroCore is basically hardcore or extreme wrestling with my own personnel twist. It’s risk versus reward with the theatrics of 80’s slasher horror.
If I was going to give it a shoot definition I’d just call it ‘Macabre Wrestling’.
4. So NecroCore is an in character brand?
a.) Yes and No. I do graphics randomly for other handlers/characters and some eFeds through twitter. I’ll be branding this as NecroCore Media as I move forward. I’ve begun playing with the idea that Lochlyn Cade is the in character CEO of the multimedia company. So the out of character stuff crosses over and meshes into the in character world creation.
5. The header/banner states that NecroCore Auditorium is the UK’s best underground Indy Wrestling Shows and Training Academy.
a.) I’ve been wanting to do some kind of tournament or smaller show with a few matches here and there. I’ve seen others do it, such as Corey Black and the Roth Invitational, and I love the idea of those things. I do plan on hosting some occasional shows branded under the NecroCore Auditorium name.
b.) The NecroCore Academy is simply just an in character gimmick. In my characters biography’s I will have them billed as coming from the NecroCore Auditorium. I’ll also be using some unnamed students for in character angles/stories in of the promotions where I currently handle.
c.) I’ll be adding a page for NecroCore Auditorium Alumnus and would be happy to list any handler’s characters for story telling reasons as an alumni. I’m playing with the idea of creating a signature for anyone that decides to represent the NecroCore brand. They will also be given access to an Alumni Only board. In this sub group I will offer roleplay templates, headers, footers, or etc for handlers to use in their home promotions. I see this as just a fun little thing that adds to my own character world building. I will post more about this later in it’s own thread.
