He did such a bang up job with his character so...

It's always a discussion that comes up when people leave but it's one of those things where if the exception is made for one person, then it opens up a can of worms. It's a shame because he did do an incredible job with the picture base and there's always the chance - a high chance - that the next person will be lackluster in comparison. But the 4 year rule exists for a reason.

Gotta say no....

 I see your point Jamie. It's just hard to see such a great Fedder with an awesome picbase go. But yeah, got to draw the line somewhere.

As great of a promo Kenny Drake was, I do not feel as if a rep retirement is necessarily in my opinion. 
In a humble opinion of mine, I only think reps should be retired if the one behind the character most noted for it had passed away IRL (For example,  although I am aware that I wasn't around when Extreme Enigma was, but I felt like retiring the rep was an actual cool thing to do out of respect.)

Though if Drake were argued for a spot in the Hall of Fame and had what EAW considers a "HOF Worthy Career" (I simply don't know EAW's definition for it). I would have no objectives to Drake's induction.

Kenny portrayed Marty Scurll amazingly, however Marty is a very active wrestler at the minute and very popular at that, he's still a hot iron for people to strike on. Cannot say the pic base should be retired but it should be remembered Kenny did amazing with him.

As sad as I am to see Kenny have to go and while he did a fantastic job with his character, there's no way someone who's been here for just 1 1/2 years would have their pic base retired. Pic bases being retired is just as much about longevity as it is about the quality of their work. It's a huge honor to get a pic base retired and only happens when someone has put in quality work for at least four years.

The pic base shouldn't and won't be retired, but if you ask me, it should be reserved for at least five months.

Chris Paradise anyone? No? Okay.

Also, it's Scurll, not Scrull.

this is a perfect idea, reserve the base until the next round of changes (aka after pfp)

lol nice joke, Im not even a huge marty fan tho, so the jokes on you

I agree with the reserved idea. Keep it reserved and make it open only in the pic base change time.

Ye agreed can't retire it. Kenny did a great job with it but gotta stick with the 4 years rule dawg.

Kenny was great as Marty, no doubt, but I'm against retiring picbases in general.

Let's reserve it.... Maybe one day, Kenny will return to us

You did not read the previous posts, did you?

FOLEY RETIREMENT!! 

Kidding. But yeah, don't retire the PB. That's a very sweet gesture, but yeah. I was only Marty for, like, a year. Doesn't make sense.

That being said, I DEMAND you retire MIA as a pic base. 

Kidding.

Is he?

Who knows.

Retire Michael Pitt instead..... or, whatever that guy's name is.
