Wrestling Fantasy Sports League: Could it work?

Almost every professional top sport can be played as a fantasy sport. You have fantasy football, soccer, basketball, hockey, baseball, and so on, but there has yet to be a true version of the game for professional wrestling fans.

There are more than enough promotions that can be used for people to play a fantasy-themed game on, while there are several instances within each corporation that can allow a company-specific fantasy game be based on.

Fantasy sports have been a huge hit with people worldwide, having become a type of sports betting that many like to engage in. Imagine if you could use the Underdog Promo Code from the fantasy sports specialists and have a game with others based on your favorite WWE, AEW, TNA and other stars?! It would certainly further enhance the appeal and passion that some have for wrestling, and perhaps even add more to the stories that are continually told in the ring.

How would a fantasy wrestling sports league work?

It could be argued that a fantasy wrestling sports league is a little more challenging to create and make work, as there are so many different facets that would need to be considered. However, with that said, it could be based on a points system based on certain scenarios or moves that may have been made on a particular show.

Let’s take the WWE as an example and apply it to how a potential fantasy sports league might work based on the company. A player may be able to select from a handful of different Superstars in a draft format, picking the individuals that they want to make up their team. They will then earn points based on what they achieve on the night.

Points could come in the form of the following:

• Making an appearance on the show
• Winning their match
• Method of victory
• Winning a championship title belt

Points could be positive or negative, depending on the situation. For example, the most points could be won if a Superstar is crowned a champion, while they could receive negative points if they are to be disqualified, counted out, etc.

There is clearly a lot of potential for a fantasy sports wrestling-themed game, and it’s something that can apply to all promotions. Fans of two or more wrestling promotions could look to try and incorporate their favorite athletes from each of them into one team to try and make it more exciting and enjoyable.

Could it be something we see in the future?

While there might be a few available online in smaller capacities, there is every chance that we could see a fantasy sports-themed game based on professional wrestling in the future. The industry in America is continually expanding and improving as it continues to evolve, and with the sport being extremely popular with fans in the US, it wouldn’t be too difficult to see that there is a market for it.

Of course, time will tell, but it’s certainly something we’d be down for and very interested in!
