I worked hard as Kevin Bishop and i know i have tons of characters roaming around in my head and my universe. TFK has been super fun writing as, but I'm just wondering what my friends think of my efforts so far.

I can definitely tell you’re enjoying writing for the character and he brings a certain flavor to the roster. The Frost feud was awesome and the Pauly Shore stuff added a fun layer to it. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re only raising the stock of TFK and the US Championship.

Fuck that Kevin Bishop dude! That A-hole was completely overrated and completely overshadowed by a very shadowy character that he came across back in the day. lol
I agree with Wade, like I told you before, you found the right voice and pic base for Thaddeus. In my opinion, that is one of the hardest things to do when writing a character. But if you match up the two and imagine the two blending together when reading your character then it's pure gold.
That's something that I've hopefully accomplished when writing Shadowlove and Miyamoto?
T.F.K. vs. Frost has been an awesome feud that seemed to come naturally for both of your characters. As you are well aware of, the Shadowlove vs. Kevin Bishop feud was one of those natural opposites attract feuds that could've gone on forever and is one of my all-time favorites that would be hard to top. Everyone has one of those types when characters and writers just click.
Pauly Shore was classic and came out of left field. And dragging Shadowlove into the Hollywood fued with John Stamos was classic funny as hell when I finally picked myself up off the floor after reading it.
The hardest thing to do when writing that stereotypical bigger-than-life "Hollywood" character is making it your own and not sounding like just another Flair characterization and bringing something new to the "Hollywood" gimmick that hasn't been seen before.
Something you have done well, my friend. Keep up the good work.

I love the character, Matt. I want to say first of all that the Kevin Bishop character was amazing and I loved working with you as a writer during Trios over in WCF. I bring that up because I just want to say that it's rare for someone to have one great character then put that one on the back burner and create a whole brand new one and have it be even more successful. There's only been a few handlers I've seen accomplish this during my years of e-wrestling. Guys like Evan (Wade/Kaz) and Michael (Howie/Jared) are just two other examples of people who have done this, too. There's a few others as well, but not that many more.
I love the Hollywood theme and it's executed so well. Also, the fact that this character is just so different in terms of CD and shoot from Kevin Bishop is a big thing as well. I feel that long term, I've struggled with this with secondary characters.
I also want to echo the comments about the pic base. I don't have examples but I can count on one hand the number of people I've seen with such a perfect picbase for their character and Jericho as TFK is one of them.
The one thing I've been curious about the most is who will be able to fill your shoes as US champion when you finally lose the belt. It's not just simply beating you for the belt and holding it for a while. It's going to be a huge effort to fill your shoes as US champ one day because you've done so great with the belt.
Like others who have responded to this, I too love the storyline with Pauly Shore. That feud alone has set AW apart from other feds in my opinion.

Browski I meant to comment in this thread a long time ago.
I think you have TFK nailed down to a T all the way from the Internet to the ring and I can honestly say during the Frost and TFK feud there where times I was mad on a personal level lol.
You Play out the arrogance with true showmanship and when TFK starts rollin, no pun intended, he's hard to stop.
I give you 4.9 out of 5
