I fucking love Soupy man.

I got many honestly. Actors like Adam Driver and Chris Pratt. Musicians like Dan Campbell, Dave Grohl, Kanye West, Nas etc. Fictional characters (More specifically villains). I even looked up to drug lords like Pablo Escobar. Hold up, let me explain myself. I admire Escobar but not for the negative things he did. He actually did a lot of positive shit for his country. He was also feared and respected by all, he had so much power.. Who wouldn't want to be extremely powerful, feared and respected?

Bull Dempsey. He's helping me get in shape for my future WWE career.

Hell yeah, man. He's a huge inspiration to me, he really got me to start writing on a real level, if that makes sense. I write poetry and substantial stuff now, and that's a lot thanks to The Wonder Years. Aaron West is a great album and project, as well. So psyched for the new 7".

No, and I never have. The only person I ever came close to looking up to like that was my mother, but even for that I wouldn't come close to saying I want to copy her every character trait and decisions made despite IMO her being the best person in my life from childhood till now. In fact I consider all this role model, idol worship, and hero worship in the world misguided, most of the time I watch people get broken hearted when they come to realize the people they looked up to turn out to be things they never imagined, or worse they're so enthralled they refuse to see the bad truths about their heroes. I personally tend to observe people and try to pick up some of what I consider to be their good qualities, and I also try to see the bad things so I can learn to avoid those mistakes or have those qualities not be in my own character, just never forget what they are in the complete picture to the point you fawn over them.

I'd hate to drop the line "everyone is human", or "its grey not black and white", since these days those words are used to excuse scumbags or a way for people to excuse their twisted ways, acting like there aren't people who are worse or better than another, but to me despite how the usage is ruined by some the world is grey and everyone is human. Simply some are on the darker and lighter tones of grey is all, to the point that some can even appear almost black or white. Basically, even the most horrible people have good things you can learn from them, and vice versa.

RT!!!! HIS NAME IS ALEXANDER HAMILTON

Mick Foley.  He's a fat, mangy, flannel wearing dude who somehow started the swing of the Monday Night War against body builder top draws.  He also wrote great books, gives to charity, and married a model and has a fairly happy marriage and children who love him.  These aren't things a guy like Mick Foley should be able to have, and yet he does, and he's still frugal, humble, and giving.

It's an odd mix of Lily Allen, Taylor Swift, 360, Kanye and Benedict Cumberbatch.

The world heavyweight champ looks up to me, induct me in the hall of fame and give me the eaw title now people

Arnold Schwarzenegger simply for his abilty to achieve whatever he sets his mind to.  From becoming a world champion body builder, to the top box office draw in hollywood, to becoming governor of one of the largest states in the U.S.  the guy is just incredible for all that he's accomplished.

John Cena. No, he's not my favorite wrestler of all time (he is up there though, somewhere in top 10 or even top 5). You guys already know him, so no need to explain this. From what I have heard/seen, John Cena in the ring IS 90% the real John Cena, so there you go.

Of course my Parents as well, lol.
