We all take inspiration from TV shows, movies, wrestling to form our gimmick and how we act. What do you take inspiration from?
I take a lot of inspiration from loud, annoying wrestlers who never shut up. Guys like The Miz and Chris Jericho in his heel runs. Guys who just always have to be right and want everyone to know who they are.

I love movies and I dove on the chance to have Jericho as a pic base. I wanted someone who had the personal ring announcer thing like Bettany from a Knight's Tale and i wanted the spoiled rich kid type thing who had daddy issues.
Oh and the fact the dad is a big time porn maker makes me laugh because, yeah i like porn lol figured it'd be a nice twist for the dad to have pull in Hollywood and to be larger than life (Don Johnson works perfectly as a pic base).
Hope everyone enjoys TFK

I have a few characters I'd like to highlight in this thread.
Gravedigger - in the early days, he was inspired by The Undertaker during his Ministry of Darkness days. More like a ripoff in the very beginning due to the name (undertaker/gravedigger).
During his MS-13 days he was inspired by The Shield TV show. Some of GD's main characters in MS-13 that he interacted with are directly inspired by characters from the show.
John Barber - this character was inspired by a real life ancestor of the same name. I'm HUGELY into genealogy so that's where that came from.
Billy - the famous announcer of ADub was originally John Barber's best friend who eventually became a wrestler. He's based almost completely off of Billy Bob from Varsity Blues
I have other characters but they are not really inspired that much off of specific people.

I grew up and worked a 1500 acre ranch. That was all I knew besides construction until I graduated high school hence Steve Blanchard the millionaire rancher, cause we were poor growing up lol.
Then came Marshall Gates. Marshall came from my early 2000’s love for Eminem and Gates just came off of the back end of his finisher The Gates of Hell.
Next up is John Frost. I’m into the prison system, watch some shows like lockdown and I kinda had a mob gimmick at first but then I decided I wanted him to be an outlaw and a lot of his experiences are fact for fact things that happened to me or loosely based off of it.
Then Jay Frost, my nigga. Jay and John two brothers. One big and white the other black and tiny an oddball mix. I created Jay for 201 as a fun character to play with. I’m looking forward to seeing where he goes in the main roster.

When I first started The Hollywood Blonde and Akasha back in '95, I wasn't planning on using the Hollywood gimmick but people that did at this time had a "Flair" for the dramatic so I wanted to do something that stood out. Hence, I based him on Billy Idol and The Vampire Lestat, attitude wise without being a vampire, and I based her on Michelle Pfeiffer, The Witches of Eastwick and Catwoman and the Queen of the Damned.
Shadowlove and Miyamoto were harder to cast since I turned out making him a second-generation megalomaniac wrestler. So I had to loosely base him and her on his parents attitude, but tweak him and her lookwise and attitude wise since pic base was more prominent in today's e-fedding.
I needed to picture their characters in my head, so Shemar Moore was my first choice in the part of Shadowlove and he was going to be the bodyguard/manager and Victoria Secret's models Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, or Charlize Theron were going to be the wrestling daughter Anastasia, Cassandra or Isabella in a role reversal take.
Antonio Sabato Jr. as Shadowlove and Meisa Kuroki as Miss Miyamoto just seems to fit perfectly in my opinion.
Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, and Roddy Piper are my main influences for Shadow and his dad. And Woman, Nancy Sullivan-Benoit and Lana are my main influences for Miss Miyamoto and his mom. I wanted that foreign woman with attitude.
Everything down to the clothing and wrestling move-set and finisher had to fit 100% perfect character wise before I decided to do this adventure.
Hopefully, I've succeeded?
