Honestly, on a personal level, Jack Perry. I had the luck of doing a design for fun for him and he saw it and liked it enough to buy it off of me for his Scapegoat shop. Which already changed my career quite a bit. But months later he encouraged me trying to do a design for The Elite, >>
<< which The Bucks (Again, almost as a repeat situation) instantly saw and loved it so much that I'm sure it had a lot to do with me working for the AEW merch design team right now.
He in general is also one of the sweetest most generous people I've worked with, but that genuinely changed my life.
Yeah I was already doing decent enough and for sure the best I ever did with anything art-related after 10 years eating shit trying to get a tattooing career off the ground, but I can very clearly pinpoint working with Jack as THE moment that my career turned the craziest corner and my life with it
Seth Rollins. He shares my misery as a diehard Chicago Bears fan.
Actual wrestling? It's hard to pick one singular wrestler amid entire rosters of people I love and love to root against, but the one guy who never seems uninteresting is Hangman Page. If he's doing something, I want to watch.
On a personal note? Swerve and Caster. The Acclaimed were the first tag team I liked when I got back into wrestling. Watching them got me to improve my art and Caster usually shared my stuff. Same with Swerve. He'd do it every once in a while, but 2 or so days before Dynamite..
I shared a drawing of him holding a chain and he shared it. Then when he ran up on Samoa Joe, he had a chain. Then later on that night, he shared that drawing as a quote tweet. That was on time because I was having a crisis of faith on my skills. They're both sweethearts.

Then. Now. Forever.
