So I haven't been to myspace in forever. Turns out it's a music site now and they deleted anything and everything that was on it on 2013 to relaunch as such. I should have that picture somewhere in an external hard drive, but at the moment, it is not easily accessible.

Terry Bradshaw: I was originally gonna make him look like Bill Cosby, but that didn't seem to fit so I just made him look like actual Terry Bradshaw. MGK: For old XHF'rs who may remember, he originally had the pic base of Fred Durst. When I became a CM Punk fan circa 2005, I figured his attitude/appearance was more suitable with the long hair and tattoos, so I stuck with that. At this point if/when I bring him back, I have no idea what I'll have him look like. Punk would be option #1 given the history, but there are plenty of other options as well. CK Owens: Originally looked like Edge, although that choice was totally random. At this point, given the evolution of the character, I'm thinking someone with a similar hair-style to Scott Hall, ala the original Rat Bastard. Having him look exactly like the real Rat Bastard character wouldn't make much sense, so in the future I'm planning on a pic base that is close to Scott Hall, but not too close.

If it's worth anything, I still internally picture MGK as Durst. And I Durst hasn't lowered my opinion of MGK in the slightest, rather it's made me think better of Durst.

It's not possible to think any LOWER of Durst so ... there's that.

Well I value both those opiniona big time so Im leaning towards that now lol. At the time in 04 it seemed too random and cultural to me but now it feels like a super counter culture thing and I dig that the most! lol

Not to mention that Durst looks like a bad-ass version of Locke from Lost now:

Yeah somehow though (even though I was around at the time) I honestly don't remember MGK ever being Durst though, lol, that just blows my mind in fact, but a very neat little factoid there nonetheless. Personally, I'll always instantly think of him as our own brilliant interpretation/version of Punk though, especially since MGK in XHF was the sole reason I started paying MUCH closer attention to the real Punk who was emerging as a legit WWE star right around the same timeframe, and eventually he went on to become my #2 fave wrestler all-time, only behind Austin, and heck, if Punk hadn't left WWE prematurely age-wise, he'd very possibly even be my #1 by now, I just worshiped all things Punk once he became truly big time, lol. But anyway, back then MGK (especially with the various Punk-based graphics/banners for the character which only added to his aura for me) just brought that entire Punk appearance to life in such an incredibly ruthless, badass way for me, so I'll always primarily thank/credit the MGK character for really turning me onto Punk even before he reached true super stardom in the main event scene and thus making me a diehard fan of his throughout his WWE career.

Thanks NMM! I could never have predicted that Punk would become the star he eventually became in WWE but needless to say I was super stoked when it happened because I always felt he had that A-list star appeal that made him special. Him, HBK, Stone Cold, and AJ Styles probably top my list. Also found it ironic that shortly after the MGK run in XHF, Punk ended up doing somethings that totally reminded me of MGK stuff Id done. From starting the Straight Edge Society, which I felt was veru cult like and similiar to MGKs Darkside faction, to Punk creepily singing "happy birthday" to Rey Mysterios daughter on Smackdown a couple years after I wrote an RP with AJ where MGK did the same to AJs daughter but in a much more "Xtreme" way, lol.Really made me feel like MGK and Punk where in sync, and when I noticed WWE had a show called Night of Champions I got really paranoid that they were stealing our ideas lol.
Mongo, as far as that pic goes, thats pretty close to where I can picture MGK in modern days and I think that look would help bring new dimensions to the character. Also Locke was my fav character on Lost I just hated qhat they ended up doing with him towards the end. The whole strangulation thing was a shitty way to transfer to the kinda neat Man in Black possession. Still a great show though.

Price - Before XHF he was Raven, when I joined the XHF Raven was taken (damn you Spike!) so I changed it up to Carlito, but that wasnt really feeling right after a while so I changed to Homicide who he has been since till I killed him off.
JFK - Wanted someone who looked like MGK's pic base of CM Punk and could be belived as his brother, Josh Holloway has the same scruffy look and has been his pic base ever since.
Kole Kaos - Was Ken Kennedy, I think I picked that because his trunks had KK on em lol, then in nCw Kennedy was taken so I did a storyline where Kole was sent to the coocoo house and was beaten breaking his nose and making it bigger and now he's Triple H.
The Renegades - Originally the Redneck Renegades, they had a transformation in IWF when one of the Briscos was already taken for a pic base so I tried to find two wrestlers who could pass for brothers (half actually) and came up with Johnny Gargano for Chris (this might change soon) and Austin Aries for Will (who is actually having a pretty good solo run right now)
