I made Chevy in 2001. He was heavily influenced by Kurt Angle and Stone cold, but a lot of myself and story from growing up are in his backstory. Simple farm boy, wrestled in school, went on to the NCAA and the Olympics (nah not me but this was once my life goal lol). Originally his pic base was Rhyno, then it bounced between angle and Goldberg until Brock came along who was pretty much it.

Coincidentally, I used Rhyno for Raze's brother

So, Travis has gone through a lot of interpretations. When I first started using him, he was Ryan Reynolds because I loved Ryan and he wasn't being used enough. Then I switched him to Jensen Ackles around 2010/11 and he's stuck there mostly.
For a while, Travis was kind of my backup character. Like, he's the more serious and focused purely on wrestling guy. But the one I had more fun with was Ace Andrews. So when I finally decided to semi-retire Ace and focus on Travis, I gave him an in-depth history and explanation for the times he'd been absent, and changed his FC to Malakai Black.
When I came back this time, I was still using Black but someone on the efed I returned with him was a massive Jensen fan, and I switched back to Jensen almost solely because I found that gorgeous banner in my sig. I'm easy like that XD
Character wise? Travis has ties to Benoit, Christian Cage a little. I took his drug-addict-on-redemption path arc almost entirely off Sherlock on Elementary. Wrestling wise he used to be a Benoit (It was early 2000s. Leave it alone lmao) but he's adapted into more of a power guy like McIntyre or Black.
Character wise, this time, I'm seeing him more like Tanahashi or Sting. That veteran that will always do the right thing, and just wants the best challenges.

Like.....AE podcast went over this. They loved him at first, but by the end they were like 'Oh. This is why people hated X-Pac. We see it now!'

Waltman was just doing what he was told by the writers but the whole Tori storyline with Kane was stupid when they tried to have Kane show feelings and emotions towards other people. X-Pac actually made the storyline comedic and watchable. I remember him getting bad with the drugs while he was teaming with Justin Credible. So happy guys like Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels, and Sean Waltman were able to turn their lives around.

I might incorporate (if it fits) a little bit of Smiling Jack from Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines.
