I think the reason I never made a thread here is because I am worried so many of you will hate my edits or worry that my creations are mincemeat compared to the likes of many of you. Being in quarantine, and tired of feeling bad for myself, I thought I would open up some and share some of my edits. Fire pro being the way it is, all of my edits are considered works in progress. One more note. Some edits, I have used template edits as starting points before going off into my own world. I feel an odd shame with that, but oh well.
ANYWAY
My current project stems from the History of TSP I wrote a couple months back. In order to flesh out the history, I made up some names to give it some heart and soul I guess. Cut forward to week three of quarantine. It has been somewhat rough working from home, and I've been homesick for Alabama. I look back over the history I wrote and decide to finally give a face to names that have been floating around in my mind.
First off is Saturn. Saturn is a special wrestler to TSP and one I never made before this week. He was also in the history of the promotion for me since I started Fire Pro in 2013/14. He is the Randy Savage to King Kitune's Hulk Hogan. Maybe the better and more interesting wrestler, but rarely the leading star. He joined the MCW dojo in 1974 along with the likes of Kid Kitsune (later King), Lord Van High and Doug Dang 'em. After debuting a couple years later, he became a fan favorite for his violent, aggressive style. He was originally a masked wrestler, eventually losing his mask to Bill Flippo in a mask vs. hair mask in 1980.
After losing his mask, his popularity exploded. Saturn filled a need for wrestling fans in 1980s Alabama. King Kitsune was the bright colorful hero for kids. Bill Flippo was a little older and had a connection to the older crowd who loved his more technical style. Saturn though was the violent, angry underdog who wasn't as smart or powerful as his allies, but had more heart, soul and guts than anyone else in MCW. If there was going to be blood at a MCW, you could bet your bottom dollar it was from a Saturn match.
He has a little bit more history, but that can come later if people are interested.
So these attires are Saturn's original outfit. I have tried to be more colorful and bright with my edits of late. I feel like my masked wrestlers don't look very good but I'm okay with this.
Saturn during this prime (1980ish-1994ish) I didn't realize until I was finishing up that Saturn looks a lot like Steve Corino. Saturn being a brawler type and know to dabble in blood and violence, I tried to add scars. I think they look okay but hopefully when the part creation comes out, I can try out some new scars for him.
Saturn around his retirement period. Much like Terry Funk and longtime MCW rival Bill Flippo, Saturn has retired many times over the years. He will sometimes do some multi-person matches, but those are rare nowadays.
I don't have him on my workshop yet, but will in the coming days along with the next edit I will write about, the first MCW Heavyweight champion, Richard "Big River" Johnson.
Any thoughts, questions, comments are more than welcome.
