How did you choose your character rep

[Richard Blonoff]

A simple question I have always been curious about. What lead you to choose your character's rep? If you have created any NPCs what lead to that as well?

For me, I chose Husky Harris as Stormrage's rep for a couple reasons.
1) Obviously Stormrage is a bigger guy who isn't in the greatest shape so I wanted someone who fit that. I didn't want to go with a guy as big as a Rikishi or Yokozuna and I didn't want someone who was tall like Kane or the Undertaker. My initial thought was Brodus Clay but I didn't feel like he was a good visual representation of what I picture Stormrage as. Harris is a guy who irl is 300+ and is flabby.
2) I like Harris as a wrestler. I felt like he was underused while in Nexus. I follow his FCW career and honestly he had had some crap gimmicks down there.
3) Harris has a similar hair and facial hair style to myself and as I stated previously a lot of myself comes out in Stormrage

As far as picking Taylor Swift for Rose,
1) I have a huge crush on Swift, the irl Rose often teases me over it
2) I was listening to Swift on the radio earlier in the day when I wrote her debut rp. I found myself singing along, which I put into the rp. Pancake was less than impressed with this and honestly the more I think about it the more I want to change it just because I feel I rushed that aspect
3) AJ was already taken

 

[Harthan]

Originally, Drake was Randy Orton which was kind of a seat of the pants decision I never thought out. Later I retooled him completely and wanted a cruiserweight. I was really into ROH at the time, thought Austin was the shit (he still is), and there you have it. This is also why Drake's moveset is a carbon copy of Aries's from that period.

NPCs, it was either Brutal Bob or Fonzie for Joe, and I thought Bob fit the bill a bit better, and for Kate, Summer Glau is hot as hell but not in a traditional way which is kind of what I'm aiming for with Kate.

For Ricky, I wanted to use Jeff Hardy, because I am a huge fan of being decked out in face paint. But Hardy was taken with Phoenix. I still wanted someone with long hair, and was lightweight. So I picked Ryder back when he was an Edgehead. But the image really wasn't working for me. So I decided to replace it with John Morrison. His look just fits so much better for what I had in mind with Ricky Runn. He looks like a fucking rock star.

For my NPC's, I chose the Dentist from The Hangover because he was exactly what I had in mind for Rob. And for Rachael, I needed to pick a Diva that still looked like she was in her late teens, early 20's. So A.J made a perfect fit.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I was listening to Serentiy by Godsmack (which became my theme) which got me thinking of Brian Kendricks last run in TNA which made me think of the character I have now.\ so i had to use Kendrick. I didn't really keep up with WZCW before I cam back so I was worried someone was using him. I'm glad they weren't.


I have an NPC in mind that I will be using from time to time and his Pic Base will be the Dalai Lama. With him being Buddhist and all it makes sense

 

[Kermit]

I wanted cm punk, but couldn't get him because of Michael Winters. I needed someone grungy, so I chose Brad Pitt from fight club.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

For me I wanted to use someone fast so I choose my favorite Soccer player Christiano.

As far NPCs go. I chose my next fav Soccer player Javier Hernandez. Then, for his dad I chose well Christiano's real dad.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Regal is British and a bit of a dastardly villain. Holmes is in essence the next step up from that, so the fit was quite natural.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I've gotten some pretty good answers so for guys. I appreciate it

 

[Da Prophet]

Cena was already taken so I picked Miz. I wish I would have picked Chael Sonnen though.

 

[Daniel]

Ace Stevens

• The character of Ace Stevens and the rep of Domino/Cliff Compton came together in a package deal. I couldn't imagine a better rep if I wanted to.
• The idea for the character itself came about because I was listening to Colt Cabana's podcast, and Compton spoke about how he was going to do a gimmick like Stevens after Deunce 'n' Domino ended.
• Cliff Compton is awesome. Hilarious and talented (and he follows me on Twitter).

 

[Theo Mays]

Lets see here. The character's name is The Beard, which is loosely based on myself. By loosely I mean the fact that I have a sweet beard. Mike Knox was the first guy that came to mind as he looked like a complete badass when he had that grizzly like beard. A match made in heaven really.

 

[Dave]

Karnage:

I chose Goldberg for Karnage because I needed a guy who came across as a legitimate monster heel. When I thought about it, Goldberg really fit the bill. No pun intended.He was big, he seemed uncaring about people's emotions and most of all, he looked like a fucking monster.

I remember wanting to change to Batista but a blue haired Murfish had stolen the rep.

Constantine:

I chose Triple H for Constantine because Triple H is, and always will be, my favourite wrestler to ever wrestle a match. Obviously, we all know about Anthony Michaels but I was lucky enough that my friends on Creative overlooked that fact and allowed me to use him. I think he fits the character very well. Put him in a suit and you can forget about it.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

I picked Kurt Angle as:

A) He has been my favourite male wrestler of all time so I decided to go with him.
B) Angle's real name is Kurt Steven Angle. Remove "Angle", put Steven as his first name and use Kurt as a play on words of Courtesy and you've got Steven Kurtesy.

I took Mickie James for Sandy as she was my favourite female wrestler.

Brad Bomb

Originally I wanted a clean cut look for my character and I chose David Hart Smith. However, after I came back from my absence, I wanted a different look to Bomb, one that was more aggressive and rough and the edges. So I chose Seth Rollins/Tyler Black and he looks badass.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

In all honesty?

Off the top of my head.

 

[Shotaro]

Chose mine because it fits my character description. Simple as that, the whole MMA backstory sorta came about because of the picture actually...

 

[Showtime]

Originally Showtime's rep was DDP, mostly because I liked the ring attire he used, the gloves, vest, e.t.c. However, not long after starting in WZCW I thought he just looked too old to be Showtime. Then Dolph Ziggler started appearing on WWE and I thought he was a spitting image of how I envisioned Showtime. The rest is history.

 

[ABMorales787]

When I wanted to to retool Baez into Matt Tastic, my first pick was Mr. Anderson. He had the right facials and there were many render of him in shorts and a cap. But he didn't have the longer hair I was aiming for so I picked Chris Sabin who had a similar look to what I was aiming for. Sadly there isn't as much footage for images and videos like for Anderson and he keeps cutting his hair more.

 

[The Best]

I actually pictured Marquel to look basically identical to Biggie Smalls. I didn't want to use him as a rep, because I knew I would mention Biggie in at least one RP, and use his lyrics in at least one RP, and also I wanted an actual wrestler/ former wrestler as my rep. I actually searched very hard to find a wrestler who looked like Biggie, and I just chose Lashley. I put Lashley in a shirt on my app with mainly only one side facing the camera plus parts of Lashley's arms not in the picture due to the numerous tattoos I pictured Marquel having.

 

[Gelgarin]

I came up with the character first, after which there weren't a whole lot of options. Darkness Dragon and LA Park were about the only characters who looked appropriate.

 

[Baller]

I liked Carlito's afro so I went with him

 

[Ty Burna]

Originally I was going to use Bizzy Bone with his hair unbraided and untied but I couldn't find a decent picture to use and Phoenix just grabbed a picture of Criss Angel (he legit didn't know who it was) and colored the eyes red and I went with it. I'm glad I did because he fit the crazy look that I wanted for Ty perfectly, however the image of Criss with his hair shorter isn't quite correct as Ty is supposed to have long hair.

 

[NSL]

I wanted someone who wasn't a wrestler, and someone outside the box. Blake (formerly of ITM) is a friend of mine, and he has a sense of humor that fits the personality of what I had in mind. From there, I built the look and backstory.

 

[Blade]

Pretty simple, Bret Hart is both closest to how Blade looks in my mind and he is the wrestler whose style I based Blade on. It was a no brainer.

 

[Bernkastel]

My original rep for Celeste was an indy wrestler named Christie Ricci whose height, hair, and body style was very similar to what I pictured her to be. I later changed the rep to Beth when I found that Christie did not have many workable photos that could be made into signs and promos and whatnot. I've recently changed the rep again to Kaitlyn [who's real name is Celeste] because she's much prettier than Beth.

I haven't profiled all of my NPC's because not all of my regulars have debuted yet. There are 4 of them, and I've used 3; once I debut the last one I will profile them. Celeste has one brother, seven cousins, two BFF's, a husband, a son, an uncle, a father, two aunt's, and a deceased mother; all of whom could be used in my promo's.
