This is an extension of the influences post on Twitter ,that went into your character's look, personality, wrestling style, and anything else. Unlike that post, you are not limited to 2 wrestlers and 2 non wrestlers.

I originally created this character back in 2005! I just recall he was originally using AJ Styles/Randy Orton pic base back then. His personality and styles adapted and changed frequently over the years though. I thought about switching over to modern day Randy Orton again at some point for the final run of his career.

That's cool. I could see him looking that way, but Jensen Called fits him quite well.
I used to use X-pac for mine. After a while, decided he wasn't quite the right fit. Took a while to find one that did.
Influences for him were the likes of Austin, Cactus Jack, Raven, and whoever I put on Twitter. I also used Mephistopheles for one of his hallucinations and an inverted monochrome of his pic base for another. His brain broke a little bit. I did not write it well 🤣

That would've worked, but (and I'm not 100% sure) I think it was taken. So was Raven, now I think of it.

True, X-pac was underrated. Guy could go and rarely had a bad match. Used to be said if you couldn't have a good match with him, you couldn't have a good match.

I remember he had one hell of a match vs Bret Hart back in the day as the 1-2-3 Kidd.

And if I remember right, played a key part in getting the light heavyweight division over. Guy could perform at any level. Never did understand that X-pac heat crap.

There's a handful of fellows who go into the influence for BRADDOCK.
Shlak - the man I use for my Pic base. I've watched his deathmatches for a few years and he, himself,was the inspiration for this version of BRADDOCK. (I made BRADDOCK originally in 2007 and used Steen as the pb but he went nowhere due to no inspiration.)
Tazz - I always loved tazz's attitude in ECW, him v the World. For the most part he is solo nut has a few Allies.
Paul Booth - tattoo God. BRADDOCK is tattooed as well as a tattoo artist.
Charles Bronson - the most violent prisoner in the history of england. Bare knuckle fighter before getting locked up that helped add some to BRADDOCK’s history. Also, just like Charles Salvador took on the "Charles Bronson" moniker, Nestor Wallace took on the Chuck Norris characters name, BRADDOCK.
Bruiser Brody/the Original Shiek - the brutality and violence in their matches coupled with the aura they created was something I wanted BRADDOCK to bring to the table as well

Ah, guilt by association. Makes sense. Being in the Kliq as the 123 Kidd he was basically untouchable but when we came back in 1998 things were a lot different. HBK didn't the pull he once had while he was a main eventer and WWF Champion. Hall and Nash were still in WCW & Triple H was becoming a top company guy while dating Stephanie. Once Seann Waltman started getting into the drugs in the early 2000's that was basically the end of him in WWE. I'm glad he was able to get clean because he looks freaking phenomenal now. X-Pac to me was the most popular members of DX during their face run. That whole storyline between Pac, Kane, and Tori cracked me up. Lol.
