Titus's RP References

[JGlass]

Did you get them all? I think I know them, but for the sake of playing a game I'll just count the number of WZCW references per character, and I'll list the references themselves in spoilers.

Steven Holmes- 7

Spoiler

Sherlock- Sherlock Holmes/Steven Holmes
Common Courtesy- Feud with Kurtesy
Most elite peacock- Elite X
Owed his ex triple- Lost the belt to Triple X
Goes to Washington- Team with Constantine
Became a wealthy peacock- Holmes inherited his wealth
Listens to Beethoven- Holmes' theme

Showtime- 4

Spoiler

Center of the show all the time- Showtime
Travel Eurasia- Eurasian Champion
Teamed up with old tiger and won- Team with Stan Rogers
Number one animal in the world- World Champ

Callahan- 7

Spoiler

Josh- Drake and Josh
Era of enlightenment- Drake's original gimmick (I assume)
Mayhem across Eurasia- Mayhem Champion and Eurasian Champion (2 for 1)
Magical liquid- Drake's alcoholism
Made it to the top of the animal kingdom- World champion
Conspiracy- More recent gimmick

Titus- 9

Spoiler

Went to LA- Titus's acting career
Top of his field in LA- Titus's Oscar wins
Ended up in Keystone City- Titus's hometown
Seen as a hero- Red Mask (I think?)
30 Other Animals- Won the Lethal Lottery
Scaled highest mountain in the world- World Champion
Vengeance happened- I guess this was when he lost his world title?
Visit Eurasisa but his flight was cancelled- I don't know, but it's obviously a reference to something.
Returned to the top of the animal kingdom- Second world championship

Am I missing anything? Can you explain some of the ones that I figured were references but don't have the history of?

 

[Remix]

Huh. The closest I've come to that level of subtlety (and it's not close at all) is spending a cycle of RPs dropping lines from a song from Blood Brothers.

 

[Lee]

Most are right, you have one or two wrong.

You've also missed a few as well.

 

[Lee]

JGlass you're missing 12 references. Some are double references.

Common Courtesy- Feud with Kurtesy Double reference: Stephen Kurtesy's finisher was named Kommon Kurtesy
Most elite peacock- Elite X Holmes old gimmick was that he was an/the Elite

30 Other Animals- Won the Lethal Lottery
Scaled highest mountain in the world- World Champion Beating Everest to win it
Vengeance happened- I guess this was when he lost his world title?
Visit Eurasisa but his flight was cancelled- I don't know, but it's obviously a reference to something. Back when I was with Wunderbar, Titus lost a career match. He was going to return as a heel feuding with the then Eurasian champ. Shennanigans happened and the return was nixed.
Returned to the top of the animal kingdom- Second world championship

Am I missing anything? Can you explain some of the ones that I figured were references but don't have the history of?

I've added a few of the double references I spotted in J's lists. I think that there's a reference to Harthan returning with a new character before brining back Drake from out of nowhere at the Roulette shows. I expect there's a lot more Showtime Cougar references too, four just seems like it's too few.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Huh. The closest I've come to that level of subtlety (and it's not close at all) is spending a cycle of RPs dropping lines from a song from Blood Brothers.

A whole cycle? I've been doing that for as long as I can remember, Every roleplay I write has song lyrics in it, or a saying, quote. One or the other, I've sampled from rock, rap, metal, spoken word.

I never just outright use the lyrics, or quote, but I do change it somewhat to fit my needs.

 

[Remix]

'twas to foreshadow Reese's heel turn as the next line from that song would have been "and you know the devil's got your number".

 

[Uncle Phatso]

I had a quote from Carl Sagan lined up for the Ko invite rp, that I scrapped.

 

[Lee]

Remix has two.

 

[Lee]

There's one phrase used twice that is another reference.
