wDw Rules & Code of Conduct
Effective as of December 23, 2025
World Domination Wrestling (wDw) is a real-wrestler-only e-federation where handlers roleplay as authentic professional wrestlers from any era (dead or alive). The focus is on creative storytelling, competition, and community, with a PG-rated environment incorporating an Attitude Era twist. No adult content is permitted, but all participants must be at least 16 years old to ensure maturity in handling themes like intense rivalries and dramatic angles.
This document outlines the rules for participation, including character creation, submissions, rankings, championships, and conduct. Violations may result in penalties, up to removal from the roster.
