And I say that since Slate and Nova have a fair bit of singles experience as well. Cali is not connected to them at all... aside from the fact she worked in LDW near its end and actually is one of two people to beat Princess Nova (like under her Princess persona) in LDW. The other was a world champ.

I can even use Johnny as a picture base as looks like nobody has snatched him up yet.

I generally like to do characters that can explain away their losses because it makes it easier for me. Like with Blake, he doesn't really care he just hurts people. An underdog isn't always expected to win etc if I go that route.

One thing I always warn a bit with is sometimes, if you can help it, if you have some inspiration from an IRL wrestler, avoid them as a rep unless you have no other good options. That and avoid entirely matching their moveset

No worries there. Jeff signed up a tag team and they’re both in big singles matches this show.

I assume you’ll mostly want unified stories for them, but obviously still want some singles ones.

Go for it! That would be cool.

Would be a neat dichotomy with Blake.

This is good advice.

I sometimes use a base if it matches the personality because I’m a visual creature and it’s easy, but definitely don’t use their moves and all that.

We honestly are fine with doing a good mix. Have our storylines together and separated. Because forcing every storyline to have to involve all three would be limiting to both us and our opponents.

And also one minor nitpick, if you can, avoid using the theme song of a wrestler. It'd be one thing if it is like an indy theme which they don't use anymore, but if it is a theme designed for an actual wrestler especially or super associated with someone then it creates issues, especially if you, once again, use the theme of a character you are inspired by.

Yeah, it’s been done here already so I shouldn’t say this, but yeah, there’s so many songs out there.

It isn't as bad when the theme is from like a wrestler you are not directly inspired by, but still if you can, think of another song which gives some of the same vibes.

True. Not as bad, but I think there’s enough songs to not use a currently used theme song imo.

At the very least a retired song is somewhat better.

You're not wrong, I just like Johnny's look for an underdog. I'm going to try and switch up his moveset a lot and all that, so it basically won't be him outside of the base.
