Sitting around watching the latest episode of Dark side Of The Ring, which is about Sandman, and it got me thinking about TNM.
When it comes to your circuit, do you prefer to stick to the script or write your own?, Let me explain:
Sandman - Sticking to the script would be having his character act like exactly he did in ECW. No doubt the reason why you know who Sandman is.
Computer Generated - Writing your own, where you get to take a completely made up guy and write your own story for how you want him to be.
They both have benefits and downfalls, you can't really change Sandman that much because that's how his character is.
But writing your own, you can change that script yourself monthly if you want to because he's your own personal Frankenstein.
I'm honestly mixed on the idea, I like sticking to the script because in your head when you're booking or got ideas you know what the character is known for. Like if you were to book that Sandman / Raven angle in which Sandman gets crucified, you're going to be very particular about who you do that angle with if it wasn't those two. Even though I know, technically, WWE did crucify two people on national TV (Stephanie and Steve Austin). However, if you were to write the Sandman / Raven angle with computer generated people you could take it further than that in any way your mind can come up with because the characters are fictional, and you wouldn't be juggling the thought in your head of "would this character actually do this"

I enjoy fictitious wrestlers because I don't have to worry about getting the character "wrong".
If you're someone who has watched a lot of wrestling it's easier to feel comfortable with what a character is "supposed to be." It's easier now with YouTube.
That said, I think it's fine to take a real wrestler's character in a new direction as long as it's adequately explained and feels right.

I agree with the YouTube comment to a certain extent. I know it's a good reference point but can be difficult to find much stuff on certain wrestlers. But maybe it's just me.
