![]() He asked to buy some and of course I didn’t know how to respond to that as I never sold anything before let alone decals. At the time he was active, he was social, asking me questions and really loved my work. He runs a Facebook group called Wrestling Customs 101, you may have heard of it. I asked myself how can I accomplish this? So, I did a lot of research and came across decals.Īs mentioned earlier, it was strictly only for myself until I met a gentleman by the name of Carlos Mendez. I know I couldn’t paint details just base colors. Srik: I’ve been in business since 2014, I wanted to be able to make my own custom figures. How long have you been in business and how did it come about? Of course, Rollins came out and cashed in and hit Roman with the Curb Stomp to win his first heavyweight title, this was an icing on the cake for me. I felt it was kind of unique, but still effective. It wasn’t until Wrestlemania 31 during Brock and Roman Match that you can hear Brock saying “welcome to suplex city b****” at that moment I thought to myself, why not come up with something similar, but with Rollin’s finisher? That’s when “Curb Stomp City” was born. He was also one of the guys that got me hooked back to WWE again. Everyone knows he had the finishing move “Curb Stomp”. Srik: At the time Seth Rollins was picking up steam, he turned on the shield then shortly after became MITB. Alex Gonzalez’s work inspired me to take on customizing on my own, which led me to finding out about decals. It started off as my own project, something I wanted to keep to myself and satisfied myself. I couldn’t believe my eyes that this was something that can help fill that missing void of detailed designs and still be able to achieve what I wanted to do. One day as I was browsing the net, I came across decals. So, I gave up and didn’t want to try it again after many failed attempts. I was good at painting bases, but not those detail designs. After a while I decided to try my own at figure customizing. I believe he was the first person to use a Zack Ryder head scan for Owen Hart. The paint job and the details were amazing. ![]() I bought about 4-5 custom figures from him and it was so worth it at the time. Srik: There was a young customizer by the name of Alex Gonzales that was my go to guy to buy custom figures at the time. ![]() We sat down with Srik to learn more about his company and process.
