Fantasy wrestling (also referre to as "e-wrestling") is an umbrella term representing the genre of role-playing and statistics-based games which are set in professional wrestling companies. Several variants of Fantasy Wrestling exist: segregated both by the way they are transmitted (through websites, message boards, e-mail, postal mail, or face-to-face), the method in which the storyline is determined (via roleplay, "angles", strategy- or statistics-based systems, etc.) and how the roster was composed ("real" wrestlers or original characters created by the players.)
