You now understand all about creating a star. You need to demonstrate this by coming up with your own WWF Wrestler, who will appeal to fans and generate plenty of media coverage. WWF is very controlled Ð everything is a brand name, patented, and the Wrestlers, although stars in their own right, are in the employ of the Federation and must do as they are told. The Commissioner is able to control their public image, or completely shape the star persona. You must imagine you are part of the Federation's creative team, and that it is time to introduce some new talent - time to create a star!

Remember that, to be a star, your wrestler must have a recognisable personality both inside and outside the ring, and that this personality must be represented visually, so WWF fans can quickly appreciate it.

1. First of all, think of an appropriate character name. Make it memorable - like a headline writer you can use puns, alliteration etc.

2. Then, list their personal attributes, including their special moves. Does your wrestler have a unique selling point?

3. Describe how you would costume them. Can you include items of costume which have symbolic meaning eg a cape, a crown?

4. Suggest a slogan and a logo.

5. Identify their target audience. Say who your character would appeal to and why - remember the basic fanbase of WWF.

6. Devise ways in which they could take part in the ongoing WWF narrative Ð as winners or losers? Comic relief or serious contender?

7. How are you going to communicate this star persona to the audience? How will you make them understand what your character represents? It will please the Commissioner most if you can devise a character who will become very popular very quickly.

Create a labelled sketch of your character, perhaps in a typical pose (one that they will be photographed in). Be prepared to explain your vision!
