As an example I will use Sasha Banks's entrance, you know so much about her character with no words spoken. She is doing so much in just a walk to the ring. This is really great for animators to see how these artists weave personality into their physical actions 2/
Crucible's Earl was partly inspired by Dusty Rhodes's amazing "Hard Times" promo. That an out of shape,blue collar plumbers son can hang with the best athletes. It was all crafted by him and I had shown this promo to our narrative team. 3/
