| For me it's prolly when Methuselah was on his "I will fornicate with your sister for sport, please believe it" shit. Comically bodying them dudes. Cage's persona during his angle with DDD around late 2013 was chill. Drastik at the peak of his e-fed clout in 2013 was entertaining to observe if you weren't one of his haters. |

| For me....probably "Damaged Zack Crash". I get it was just copy/paste of the Broken Matt Hardy gimmick but that's what made it hilarious.
Also...was a big fan of Brody (RIP) and enjoyed Lannister a great deal regardless of how often I lampooned it or cracked jokes at Showdown. |

| First, Thanks for that Impact. And I'll say The Legendary Sekaiichi, the story of Sekaiichi was awesome and how he came to be this dark shadow, having his vocal cords slash and being fueled my hatred, it was awesome to see the evolution of how The Legendary Sekaiichi came to be. |

| Well I’ve said it before but I was a huge mark for Savannah Sunshine’s gimick when she debuted. Also really enjoyed Jon McAdams after I got to write a few matches for him, and who could forget Jerk the Viking (we’ve got to follow up on that one day PB) |

| Without going through the mental paragraph dissection of what a 'gimmick' is, I'll say Nico Borg and Ryan Marx. I like cerebral crap that delves into theology or ideology and they've both been good at that kind of thing. Being on Empire has given me an appreciation for Chelsea Crowe as well. As someone who lived through the nineties and remembers oxymoron phrases like 'pop punk' or 'corporate rock' or things labeled 'grunge' that sounded nothing alike but had the same shade of flannel, I gets it and I likes it. Very cool heel character. |

| I was the biggest Kenny Drake mark when he was here. Bhris Elites gimmick has a life of its own. ImI starting to appreciate what Keelan is doing with Megan Raine, and its good to see Haruna embracing her Japanese ifol gimmick again. |

Although you can't see it, I feel it going through my head down to my feet, and I know it exists within me. It lets me stand on my feet, it lets me walk forward without trembling. If I stop here, I feel like it would break... My soul will break.

| Love me some Drake Jaeger. Methusulah was interesting. I also enjoy El Ironico, or I guess the very outlandish characters. Savannah Sunshine is pretty intriguing too. Not as outlandish, but someone I can get behind as a "fan" ..... because she so precious. Tiberius gets some pretty great reactions out of me too. |

| While I haven't been able to keep up lately due to a very stressful RL stuff, I have managed to finally catch myself up with EVERYONE. When I first arrived, I enjoyed the gimmick Tarah had going on. Still one I very much enjoy. I also like Cloud and Pizza Boy's gimmicks as well. |

| Mongoose and Wilson are always fucking hilarious, and honestly they bring the party. Nico's gimmick had me shook from the day I first read his promos, and I guess to top it off Revy's a fun drunk (yeah I stole her name, fite me). |

| Most people here won't remember it, but Hova was a fresh idea, too. A promo rapper. |

| I enjoyed Pizza Boy's season 10 storyline, ultimately culminating in his title win. When Imp became The Machine for Reckless Wiring '16 I was all for it! If Nas incorporates his personality from the chat with his character he'll be an instant goat. I love Carlos' classic heel gimmick. It's like Scott Steiner meets Stan Hanson meets Mr. Perfect meets Masahiro Chono w/ a bit of real-life Jon Jones.
Aria fits the modern babyface to a T, Brody was on the verge of becoming the best damn heel that ever walked the earth. Tarah the quintessential edge queen and I love her for it. Astraea is the future of Empire bar none. She gives off legitimate athlete vibes and it was fun working with her character. Megan Raine is currently my favorite Empire member to write and Sydney is Becky Lynch fused with Johnny Gargano.
Honorable mention goes to that Alonso cat with the Kid Cudi picbase. He was oozing with charisma. |

| Pretty much anything that Robbie does. Ares is such a well thought out character with immense depth; Drake is amazing to read. Always been around The Pizza Boy; ever since day one. Loved the underdog character and how it's been built; not surprising two of his matches I've written are up there as my favourite.
Reluctantly enjoyed Lannister.
Absolutely loved the concept of Hexa-gun.
Every character Cam creates is a joy to read; scripts and promos. Here, WMW etc. |
