XWF Real Life Equivalents. - Nico LaVey - 08-13-2016

Nico in terms of wrestling is equivalent to Chris Hero and Abyss, but has no real gimmick equivalent.

Ophelia is equivalent in gimmick to a face Lana.

Ferngotti is equivalent in both gimmick and wrestling to The Young Bucks.

Peter is equivalent in gimmick to Eugene and in wrestling to drunk Jake the Snake.

Any more you can think of?

Bourbon: Wrestling equivalent to Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow, gimmick equivalent to early Kurt Angle and Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

You didn't deny being Eugene in terms of gimmick.

XWF Real Life Equivalents. - Dillinger - 08-14-2016

I'm not sure what my character's wrestling equivalent would be, I kinda try and shy away from the idea of that. I like to develop a character over time, starting with a rough template, I'll then have him evolve; little by little, as the story progresses.. I think in terms of a character in a book/movie/tv show, where things aren't so two dimensional. I prefer grey areas where you have room to adapt. A hero can become a villain or vice versa. Of course the same basic, bare principles still apply to said character, they don't become a different person per se but there are definite complexities that I like to try to get into that make identifying with a source that doesn't do that a little difficult. Lucha Underground is pretty dope, I think it's probably one of the best wrestling programs out there, next to NJPW (I don't watch the WWE, lol) but there's no one wrestling there that I'd compare Dillinger to. I feel left out, lol.

I can think of a gimmick equivalent to Dillinger.

Green is supposed to be a throwback to a bygone era of wrestling. Old school brawler.


XWF Real Life Equivalents. - Equinox - 08-14-2016

Nox is an entertainer like HBK, but wrestles more closer to Petey Williams and Tajiri.


re:XWF Real Life Equivalents. - Mr. Oz - 08-14-2016

I don't know GT's equivalent. I wanted to make someone unique. I have always wanted to see a wrestler that's tall as fuck, but can do not just the power moves associated with his size, but able to do the same shit that someone like Rey Mysterio, John Morrison/Nitro/Mundo, Psychosis, Evan Bourne, y'know, those high flying sumbitches that make you go "HOLY SHIT!"

As for persona? I'm not sure. I guess maybe he'd be like Mil Muertes? What with the Death gimmick.

I'd like to know if any of you have any thoughts about GT's wrestling/in-ring equivalents are.

Maybe Brian Cage? He's a huge bloke that still pulls out high flying moves, though not as big as GT.

My entire character is a merger of Marty Scurll and Joey Ryan, but I originally went with a modern rave lounge lizard character unlike the 70's Ryan gimmick. My wrestling style is a updated version of Ted DiBiase, as well as some BJJ and martial art influences, especially in my finisher.


XWF Real Life Equivalents. - Lord of Darkness Reaver - 08-18-2016

In-Ring equivalent: Sting if he was in ECW

Gimmick Equivalent: I dunno....maybe Kane during his May 19th storyline....
