WRESTLER INFORMATION
NAME: Larry Tact
AGE/DOB: 27
Height: 6'6
Weight 260 lbs
ALIGNMENT: Heel
APPEARANCE: A clean shaven face, with golden blonde hair that extends down to his chin, olive green eyes, and an athletic, muscular body build.
PERSONALITY: Tact is always looking for a challenge, and knows he is going to have to prove himself wherever he ventures. He is a ring technician, first and foremost, but does mix in some power wrestling/brawling now and again. He doesn't care much about other people's positions, nor about status, because he's thrown out respect for the "system" in wrestling; politics and trust in wrestling are just a lot of BS to him. He looks to make his own path, and get his agenda across, whatever it may be, no matter who he has to go through. He just takes it all as another challenge.
BACKGROUND / HISTORY: Larry Tact has been to many promotions over the years, always bringing his outspoken opinions and sharp tongue along. He's never had a problem clashing with others, whether it be in the ring or on the stick, and carries himself with the confidence he can tangle with any contender-- his resume backing it up.
After running through the indy circuit for a few years, Tact joined the IWF in his professional debut. He was arrogant, wealthy, and saw wrestling as a pursuit of his passion for the sport. He trained with several instructors and partners, intermingling his technician's mindset and skill with power wrestling, making full use of his size and strength. He prides himself on his work ethic in the ring, putting a substantial amount of time into training, preparation, and adapting. This has helped him keep up with the opposition in their own comfort zones, as well as dominate in his own.
Through his time in the pro circuit, Tact's opinion of the wrestling world solidified: anyone who participated in this industry was capable of digging to their lowest and vilest depths, for the sole purpose of making themselves feel above the rest who dove into this industry and stripped themselves of self-respect. As such, they deserved nothing from him, and shouldn't be surprised if they got a taste of their own tactics.
Tact doesn't consider himself squeaky clean, either. He understands what it takes to survive, and that you have to pursue what you want with the utmost vigilence and intensity. When he joins a promotion, it is because he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Depending on a given promotion's hierarchy, this ruthless attitude has either garnered praise or caused... complications.
Over the years, Tact has battled and ascended through ranks, one after another, competing with opponents of various backgrounds and styles, claiming multiple Championships for himself. He knows the feeling of victory and reaching goals. More importantly, he has suffered the taste of defeat and experienced loss. In having done this, Tact has the invaluable knowledge of what it takes to work back up to success and has found, at times, it can be even sweeter then. Learning from mistakes, he has put that knowledge to excellent use, molding himself into an even more seasoned in-ring competitor, more vigorous worker, and more ruthless adversary.
HOMETOWN: Manhattan, New York
ENTRANCE MUSIC: "Pieces" by Hoobastank
RING ENTRANCE: (The lights begin flickering WILDLY as the opening beats of "Pieces" by Hoobastank sound throughout the arena.)
"TURN AROUND AND PICK UP THE PIECES!"
(A BURST of black and gold pyro goes off as Larry Tact steps through the entrance, observing momentarily before heading down the ramp. Seeing a couple fans mouthing off along his way, he takes a moment to spit on his own hand before attempting to SLAP a couple fans across the face. Tact smirks, then proceeds to the ring steps and ascends them. He enters the ring and climbs a turnbuckle, pointing to himself and opening his arms to receive their reaction. Coming back down to the canvas, he stretches using the ropes, focused on his opponent.)
