WRESTLER INFO
Wrestler Name: Joey Melton
Height: 6'0
Weight: 210
Hailing From: New York, New York
Handedness: Right
Disposition: Heel
Gimmick: He's Joey Melton. The man doesn't need a gimmick.
Ring Attire: Black boots, black kneepads, and black tights.
Looks: As I made him in 1988 he was a cross between Ric Flair and Terry Taylor.
Ring Entrance: Generally I think the smart thing to do would be to walk towards the ring. But, if you're looking for a more profound answer...he eases down the aisle without a care in the world. Calm, cool, collected. It's his show and he knows it.
Theme Music: Something by fifty-cent. No just kidding. Let's try "All The Things She says" by Tatu. Seems like fun.
Tactics/Style: Again think Flair/Taylor. Hey, it was 1988 gimme a break.
Specialty Moves:
Brainbuster
DDT
Bulldog
Step-over-toe-hold
Superplex
Knife Edge Chops
Ad. Stretch
Backbreaker
Boston Crab
Finisher & Set-Up Moves:
Finisher is the Figure Four.
Set up is the slingshot suplex.
Strengths:
Confidence, Experience, Intelligence
Weaknesses:
Arrogance, Single-mindedness, His size
Biography/Promotional Information: In 1988 Joey Melton was a promising independent wrestler. A can't miss prospect headed for the WCW or WWF. Along the way to a WCW tryout in Atlanta his car broke down and by fate he ended up in Greensboro, NC. To get the money to get out of town he booked himself at the CSWA's first wrestling show. That night was their 4-man World Tournament. Melton won the title in front of a handful of people. In the fine print of each man's contract for the night it was stated whoever won owed the CSWA a six-month stay.

JOEY MELTON: First things first, son...I've beat my girlfriends with a belt bigger than this, understand that right now. (to fan in front row) Yeah, Mush Mouth...keep your freakin mouth shut while Joey......while the CSWA World Heavyweight Champion has the floor. Believe you me, I didn't want to be here tonight....hell, to be honest I wouldn't even piss in this place...but here I am....a champion...standing in front of you. My life can't get any worse than it is now, so yes, Merritt...Thomas...I'll be back next weekend to kick the livin' fire out of whoever you can coax to get into the ring....let's be honest it might even be one of you out in the audience... they're looking for part- time help, you know. There's nothing part-time about Joey Melton...being me is a day's work, 24/7......I'm the CSWA World Champion...so that means I'm stuck here longer than I would have liked.. Next week I'll be here... in reality, I'll be here until someone can knock the title off my waist, or I just get damn well bored of the place. (Melton throws mic down and leaves to a chorus of boos.)
Regrettably Melton had to stick around. Six months later however the CSWA was a budding success, and when the chance came to leave, Joey signed on for life.
He's won every belt there is to win the CSWA. And often is regarded as it's top Tag Team Wrestler. A combination of Melton and Steven Flair/Peyton Wright formed one of the CSWA's greatest teams ever, Arrogance. Joey's feuded with nearly every other important wrestler of the last 15 years. While he's lost his share, a definite case can be made that he's been the best all-around talent of his generation.
Approaching forty, Melton feels squeezed out by Merritt and under appreciated for essentially doing whatever was asked for 15 years. While others accept the credit, Joey feels he made the CSWA primarily.
