Name: Aaron Jones
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 160 lbs.
Hometown: Indianapolis, IN
Appearance: Skinny and wiry – not entirely devoid of muscle, but looking like wrestling probably isn’t the best career path for him. Buzzed short blond hair contributes to his very young appearance; the kid’s only in his early 20s. Singlet with blue for the torso and black for the legs, with “REDEMPTION” in white letters down the right leg.
Entrance music: “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” by Cage the Elephant
Entrance: As standard as entrances get. Music starts, Jones walks out through the curtain and down to the ring. For now, he’s too nervous to interact with fans, figuring (probably rightly) that they might still hate him for his association with Copycat, but he’ll acknowledge the crowd’s reactions. Enters ring, does the typical in-ring warm-up stuff, waits for opponent.
In-ring style: Because his in-ring experience is limited and he weighs less than my chair, Jones’ main purviews are high-flying and risk-taking. He will draw on his training to throw in some limited technical wrestling and martial arts, though. He’s kind of jittery and, except when getting his ass kicked, he’s constantly in motion. Because of his size, he can’t be doing a lot of moves that require lifting or physical strength, but against smaller opponents, he can manage basic things like bodyslams and hiptosses. He will never cheat overtly, though he is willing to poke eyes in order to save himself (say, from a press slam or powerbomb) and may, in the heat of battle, repurpose a weapon brought into the ring by an opponent.
Moves: Kicks to the legs and knees, armdrag (and associated variants), DDT, cross-body block, flying cross-body block, crucifix, small package, sunset flip, flying forearm
Signature moves:-Savate kick
-Spinning heel kick
Finishing moves:-None. Fluke roll-ups and pinning combinations are about all he has at this point.
Matchwriting pointers: I would encourage anyone assigned an Aaron Jones match to check this bio every time, because it is going to be constantly changing. Jones is doing a lot of on-the-job training and is still learning most of the things he needs to know about wrestling. Though he starts out with very little in terms of ability or in-ring acumen, he will come out of every match with new moves and techniques, which will be added here as they are learned.
At this early stage, Jones has practically no unique moves and can only pull off the basics, and those without much aptitude, which means he is easily countered or overpowered. Even his signature moves aren’t really his; the savate kick is the only move of Copycat’s that Jones is able to perform, and the spinning heel kick is one of the trademarks of Sean “Shadow” Carroll, who trained Jones. The upshot of this is that he will spend very little time in control of a given match. Dumb risks and surprise pin attempts are his only hopes.
Bio: You’ve seen it as it happened, but here are the basics.
Aaron Jones is the son of EPW senior referee Pat Jones. As he often points out, he never wanted to wrestle; he just wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. Generally a smart kid who could think quickly and took school and his future very seriously, he surprised everyone when he took up with Copycat, who was on a crusade to save EPW – and, by extension, the wrestling business – from what he claimed was a new generation of wrestlers who would destroy the business with their selfishness.
Jones was a loyal soldier for Copycat for about a year and a half, more than willing to assist in Copycat’s villainous actions. Jones also spoke for Copycat, who stopped talking after turning down his dark path. Though he was not a wrestler – he had only one match, where he subbed for Copycat and pretty much spent the whole time getting stomped – he was more than willing to take beatings for his mentor. Jones believed wholeheartedly in Copycat’s vision, even after Copycat stopped communicating with him. It was, therefore, all the more jarring to Jones when Copycat admitted his entire crusade was a sham whose only goal was to end his involvement in wrestling once and for all so he could return to acting.
Still wanting to be able to follow in his father’s footsteps one day, Jones decided the only way to redeem himself in the eyes of the wrestlers and the fans was to start competing himself. He managed to convince EPW owner Dan Ryan to hire him, pointing out that he had finished school and had received some training as a wrestler under Copycat’s orders. Armed with minimal training and an iron will, Jones now joins the ranks of those he once viewed as enemies.
