Hi guys and gals, so this is my second match since ‘99 and with a new character and so I’m just wondering how I’m doing? I would love some feedback if you guys don't mind. |

What are you aiming for, exactly? That would help me tell you whether or not you're accomplishing it. |

Um… Well, right now I’m just looking to build him as a character in general. The goal is to be one of the bigger faces and hopefully garner some success with him down the road as well. He’s only in his third match, so I’m not real sure how he’ll turn out but I’m hoping he’s turning out pretty well so far. |

He's got a great underdog gimmick, I'll say that. He's a super nice, super friendly, eats-his-vitamins, says-his-prayers kind of a person. He comes off a little fake because of it, but that's probably because most of us are at least kind of assholes. He's not a bad character. I'd suggest doing more collaborations with other face characters in order to help further establish his place in the ecosystem of the locker room. Johnny Amazing, Marilyn Lee Cross, The Dream, and Crystal Blake are probably your best bets for providing a good and realistic contrast. It's not perfect, but it's good. Keep working on it and sanding off the edges and I think you'll be in good shape. |

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. ![]() Yeah, I’m still getting the character down and the way I had him raised was in a very good, wholesome, Christian household but hopefully he gets more realistic as time goes by. |

Getting the same kind of "too nice" vibes out of him so far. Early Johnny Amazing is a good look for that kind of character. Basically a nice guy but with enough of an edge to be relatable. But it's a good start. Hanging round with the rest of the FIW Sekigun would be a good way to merge him in though. The other thing is the father, which is a key aspect to the second/third gen character. So far, he's not very well developed. I don't feel like I have a sense of his gimmick while he was wrestling, the time period he wrestled, and the kind of level he was wrestling at; and the whole thing just seems a little too nice to be real. Compare to the first appearance of Anastasia Grimm and her World Champion Grandfather; although I completely recommend checking out Ana's run. Has a bit about the good side and the cost; and there's some other stuff in there about why Ana would want to go into wrestling, even seeing the mess it made of her grandfather. I guess what I'm saying is "more dark side, please." Everything so far has been pure positive and it rings a little false. All this is something you can start to work in as you go forward. Wight's already said it: "Keep working on it and sanding off the edges and I think you'll be in good shape." |

I think Sting is a good real world place to look for stories from the road/behind the scenes. I wouldn't say he's a cinnamon roll or anything but he's a nice enough guy who rarely caused/participated in backstage drama. He did his best and treats most people with respect. He could give you a lot of inspiration for Levi's pops. |

Or maybe we're just seeing the world through Levi Russel's eyes. It's rose tinted and wonderful... because the illusion is way better than the reality. Honestly, I think this "too good to be true" gimmick is really something you can run with. Maybe Levi's dad's career is romanticized because that's what Levi tells his dad to do while the FIW cameras are rolling. Maybe Levi wasn't really brought up in a wholesome Christian home. Maybe he actually had a shitty childhood, because dad was barely home, and when he was the old man was either too tired to play with his son or too busy preparing for his next show to pay the kid any mind. Maybe Levi hates wrestling but doesn't know anything better. And maybe Levi is trying really hard to keep us from learning all of that. So maybe he pours it on a little too thick. I dunno, I can only speak for myself, but that's something I could really get into. Turn the negatives into a positive. I dare you!
