Then suddenly you have someone with the same base, same moves as pic base, and a slightly modified nickname and when you read a promo by them you don't think of THAT person's character, you think of the inspiration

For my characters in FWA I borrowed stuff from their picture bases, mainly moves and taunts. For character traits I took stuff from myself and used it with them, like one lf

You have that right level. I can see some things but once I read a promo I don't think of any of the pic bases at all. They feel like YOUR characters.

As opposed to one person who shall not be named who we booted. But I've seen a handful over the years

And like it isn't fun for your opponents because what can you say for just facing "X Wrestler at home?" For you it limits your writing where it feels less like reading an organic character and more wooden. It's a game in the end, but you limit yourself A LOT by doing that.
