Yes, I know I originally posted this in my Creations thread, but I've deleted that post in order to post it here, because I really think this is good enough to qualify. And Dave said Wrestling counts as Sports, which was good for me because I know nothing about sports.

I semi-followed a tutorial for this one, all the while adding my own effects to it to make it look better. The tutorial I followed was actually posted by TPP in his thread, so check it out if you want it. I have been way impressed with Rhodes lately, so I wanted to pay tribute to him accordingly. I did things a bit different from how the tutorial said when it came to duplicating my render for the last time, and doing the Gaussian Blur steps. Mostly I changed blending modes from what the tutorial said. I also wanted it to be blue, so I added in a hue/saturation layer and a black-and-white layer and adjusted them to make it work.
