Ring Name: Rich Mahogany
Real Name: Richard P. Gardulo
Alias(es): n/a
Nickname(s): Mr. Morning After, The Ladies Man, The Vaginal Vegan, The Love Machine, Your Girlfriend’s Favorite Wrestler, etc.
Date of Birth: April 15, 1985
Hometown: Beverly Hills, CA
Theme Music: "Love Man" by Otis Redding

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 210lbs
Handedness: ambidextrous

Physical Description: Long, beautiful brown hair, smooth, chiseled features, the manliest fu-manchu you've ever seen, and that's just what his face looks like. Rich is a hairy-chested, bronze-skinned God Among Men, and The Ladies can't keep their hands off of him!

Ring Attire: Oddly colored neckerchief with matching bananna-hammock, knee-pads, and boots. Often times he'll also wear a matching vest and bow tie to the ring.

Alignment: The Ladies

Gimmick: Rich is the sleaziest of the sleazy, the ladies love him and he Loves The Ladies!

​Pertinent History: Rich's mother, born Lexee Stanton, was a stripper in some of the seedier bars in Las Vegas in the seventies. During one of the first pornography conventions in Las Vegas she met Big Dick Gardulo, one of the forefathers of modern pornography on film. He took her back to the San Fernando Valley where not only did she become one of the first widely known porn "stars" under the name Lexxxie Swallows, but she married the smut mogul. Her career lasted from the late seventies to the early eighties. In 1985 she became pregnant by Gardulo. The porn mogul denied the child as his, which led to a nasty divorce in which Lexee was awarded a very large sum of money, one that she and her child still live on to this day.

That child? His name was Richard Peter Gardulo, named for his absentee father, and he would grow up to become the man that we know as Rich Mahogany.

It was a long road for Rich, as he bounced from underwear modeling, to being a local television anchor, to becoming a male stripper, and then finally into wrestling.

Fighting Style: Chickenshit Heel. Meaning, he takes every shortcut known to man and taunts and poses and celebrates at any small victory, no matter if it's just a hiptoss.

Strengths: *coming soon*

Weaknesses: *coming soon*

Common Holds/Maneuvers:

- Eye Gouge
- Back Rake
- Kick to the Junk
- Headbutt to the Junk, from the standing Wishbone
- Finger Stomp
- Toe Stomp
- All manners of Pulling Tights and Legs on Ropes for pins

3-5 Signature Holds:

- The Crotch Rocket: Cross-Legged Cradle Piledriver
- Sex Panther: Stump Puller, with extra grinding on the back of the victim's head just for good (gross) measure. Ask Impulse, he’ll tell you.
- Springboard Birtchslap: Used mostly as a counter when whipped into the ropes, Rich will springboard from the middle rope, twist, and come back with a ridiculous five across the jaw.

Primary Finisher: The Sex-Plex
Description: Bridging Fisherman's Suplex (Perfect-Plex)

MDK Finisher: The Love Thrust
Description: Busaiku Knee Kick

Previous Titles/Awards: EPW Television Champion (1x)

Theme Music: Goldie by A$AP Rocky

Height: 5’10
Weight: 225
Handedness: Under

Physical Description: Greasy Blonde Hair. Chest Hair. The Greatest Mustache Ever. Gold Grill with pink dolphins.

Ring Attire: Pink Wrestling Tights(Full length or trunks) With Gold Dolphins there in. Pink Wrestling Boots. Waist length sleeveless denim Jacket. painted pink, big gold spray painted dolphin on the back. WLTT wrist bands.

Alignment: Sleazey

Gimmick: He’d be fucking your mom if you bothered to stop asking these fucking questions

​Pertinent History: Teamed with Rich Mahogany(YES!). Beat Chris Hopper senseless and left his career in ruins, and forced him to move out of his home and live in poverty on the streets holding a sign saying “Will use 100,000 wrestling moves for captains chair” in talibanistan, Indiana(It may not have happened exactly like that). Turned on Curtis Penn(Who?). 2012 Ultratitle Champion. Also did some other stuff.... Like LAURA WINTERS(Boo-yah!)

Fighting Style: Cheating. Head Drops.

Strengths:
Stalls like a beast- Working the crowd, slowing down the tempo. He's a Ford Pinto amongst Mustangs, and he's making the mustangs run a pinto race

Unorthodoxy- remember when Pete Whealdon would just throw strike after strike? Yeah. He doesn't do that anymore. in fact. you may have to dust off a beta-max for his strategy

Stamina- He's not gassing early. His entire style is based around outlasting the other wrestler.


Weaknesses:
Actual Wrestling Skill - Look, you can out wrestle him, even though he thinks you can't. You can outhardcore him, even though he will probably deny it.

Focus - Sure Sure Sure, he can stall and yes it amounts to a strength, but it can as does get the better of him. He spends as much time looking at his opponent as he does at most books, which is to say, not often.

Shenanigans- SHENANIGANS!


Common Holds/Maneuvers:

Cheating, Swindling, gouging people with forks. And he kicks and punches.

Is stalling a move?

3-5 Signature Holds:

The Headlock- Like Ric Flair’s chop, Kobashi’s Lariat, Hansen’s Lariat all rolled into the greatest headlock ever applied. Notably forced Jesus to tap out to said headlock in roughly 32 CE.

Shoot Kicks- They’re back. And they hurt.

Faux Corner Shoot Kick in to an eye poke- He’ll even quiet the crowd down. Includes Cocksure strutting.

Springboard Collar and Elbow tie up- this is the move that got ************’s in Wrestling Observer. Reportedly so great it requires a wavier to apply

Fresh White Reeboks Kicking your ass- Running Punt to the Ass.

Primary Finisher: Nigel Peppercock Special
Description: Hangman’s Neckbreaker with Mustache cleaning.

MDK Finisher: Bukkake Tsunami
Description: Half and Half Wheelbarrow Facebuster

Previous Titles/Awards:
Consecutively has won every major award in every circle that has ever mattered, every year since Prodigy was invented.

Has won most of the awards in the old mail feds. They just don’t count because those things sucked.

Has called many people the word Faggot.

Once made Eric Dane turn all manner of unnatural color after stealing his limoweight Champion of the World.

Re: EPW PRESENTS: KING OF THE CAGE: TAG TEAM EDITION

Handler Name: Evan
Character Names: Fishman Deluxe and Máscara De Muerte IV
Tag Team: Los Luchas Frescas


Ring Name: Fishman Deluxe
Real Name: Hector Navarro
Nick Name: The Rainbow Fish
Alignment: Comedy Face
Weight: 245 pounds
Height: 6 foot 0 inches
Gender: Male
Age: 40
Hometown: Mexico City, Mexico
Entrance music: "Any Way You Want It" by Journey
Wrestling Style: Luchador
Past Feds: CCW, AFW, BULLET, DEFIANCE
Years wrestling: 26 (yes, since he was fourteen)

Appearence: Your run of the mill somewhat out of shape looking masked
luchador. In fact most people would call him quite chubby, but what he
lacks in muscle tone he makes up for in experience. The few times in
his career he's wrestled without his mask we've seen he has dark brown
hair and a pencil thin goatee around his mouth.

Gimmick/Personality: Hector Navarro is one of the few openly gay
wrestlers in the world, wrestling in Mexico for years both under the
mask and mantle of the flamboyant Fishman Deluxe and under his real
name as "The Rainbow Fish" Hector Navarro. Some might ask "a full on
gay gimmick getting a face pop?" In Mexican lucha libre this is way
more common than one might think. Effeminate or even full on cross
dressing male luchadors called "exoticos" get major face reactions
when they cause discomfort for the unwilling rudo, or heel.

Wrestling Attire: Long tights that usually follows some sort of
flamboyant color scheme in various fish and underwater patterns. Being
the fashion plate that he is the design and makeup of the gear changes
from week to week. Always with matching boots and over the top
entrance robe. His mask varies in color from week to week just like
his gear, but retains the same exact fish themed pattern.

Background: Worked as a trainer for years in his native Mexico at
legendary local promoter Jose Munoz's gym Guerreros que Luchan la
Gimnasia. Known in the ring as Fishman Deluxe, he made his paycheck as
a midcard comedy act, poking fun at his actual homosexual lifestyle,
your traditional over the top flamboyant wrestling gimmick of yore. He
even got to take his schtik stateside working alongside Guerreros que
Luchan la Gimnasia graduate Evan Hurley in pretty successful tag team
in both the NeWA and WfWA. After that partnership deteriorated Hector
teamed up with a pupil of Hurley's, Walter Levy.

Fishman Deluxe and Walter The Duck quickly became one of the most
talked about teams in the alliance due to their raunchy over the top
antics in and out of the ring. Eventually the duo went through a
complete gimmick overhaul, dropping the over the top comedy act for a
slightly less over the top comedy act, focusing more on garnering wins
and championship gold than laughs and headlines. Recently went against
lucha tradition and remasked himself as Fishman Deluxe claiming he'd
never actually lost the mask to another grappler but simply "stopped
wearing de' damn t'ing, Jesus, stop beetching... "

Ring Name: Máscara De Muerte IV
Real Name: Daniel James Munoz (rumored)
Nickname(s): MDM4, Four
Date of Birth: 8/4/1983
Hometown: Mexico City, Mexico
Theme Music: "Holy Diver" by Ronnie James Dio

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 178 lbs.


Physical Description: Very well built young man of a Hispanic background, his entire face is completely hidden by his mask. But from past matches where his cowl is ripped and torn it was seen that he has jet black hair and keeps it shaved very short. When out of the ring, backstage, out on the town, he always wears his mask, but dresses very modern, the sort of attire you’d see any semi-trendy young twenty something wear.


Ring Attire: The mask of the Máscara De Muerte is a full face mask, covering his nose and mouth (I patterned it after the Marvel comics character Crossbones, Google him to see an example) with a simple skull design on the face. Shirtless, he sports full leg tights with a deaths head skull on each leg with various macabre designs jutting from behind. His boots are black with white trim, small deaths head skulls adorn each ankle. Black elbow pads, thick knee guards and black and white athletic gloves finish up his usual ring attire. During his entrance he's been known to sport a ratty black leather jacket with a huge Mexican flag on the back and deaths head skulls on the upper arms.


Alignment: Técnico


Gimmick: As Máscara De Muerte IV's career blossomed and his fame spread across Mexico, the masked archangel of lucha wanted more, he wanted to break free of the confined world of lucha libre and spread the legend of the Máscara De Muerte to all corners of the world. Proud of his country, proud to carry on the legacy of the Máscara De Muerte and lucha libre itself, Muerte is ready to dominate the world of pro wrestling... the true question is, is it ready for him?


Fighting Style: Luchador/Technical


Strengths:
Experience - Around the business since he was a child, started training at a very young age.
Conditioning - Can wrestle for an hour or more and still have gas left in the tank.


Weaknesses:
Right Knee - Had a massive knee injury a number years ago in Mexico, wears a pretty sizable knee brace.
Size - More often than not the smallest dog in the fight. Very accustomed to playing the underdog role.


Regular Moves:
1. Springboard Missile Kick
2. Hurricanrana (top rope or otherwise)
3. Running Enzuigiri
4. Flying Back Elbow (opponent in corner)
5. Dragon Sleeper
6. Kick Combo to chest / back (opponent on knees)
7. Split-Legged Moonsault
8. Tornado DDT
9. Plancha Suicida
10. Dropkick to the face (opponent on knees or in corner)
11. Pump Handle Face Plant
12. Baseball Slide Headscissors Takeover (opponent standing on outside)
13. Springboard Guillotine Leg Drop


Trademark Moves:-
1. "Demons Wings" - Spinning Sit out Pedigree
3. "Death From Above" - Twisting Asai Moonsault
4. "Crossbone Clutch" - Cobra Clutch Crossface


Finishing Move: La Muerte
Description: Spinning headscissors into an armbar takedown into a Fujiwara armbar. The same finishing hold used by IV's predecessors.


MDK Finisher: Xenocide
Description: Springboard foot stomp to the back of a prone opponents head.


The History of the Máscara De Muerte


Máscara De Muerte – 1939 / 1966, 27 year career w/ the mask.


Even with all the troubles in the world at the time people still wanted to be entertained, they still wanted something to take away their worries of war and death even if for but a scant few hours. In the country of Mexico the answer to that call was Lucha Libre. In Mexico wrestling is more than some silly side show, lucha was a way of life, as ingrained in the Hispanic culture as the Spanish language itself.


In 1939 a group of promoters came together to create the ultimate rudo (or heel, in American professional wrestling terms) there was an abundance of amazing technicos (faces), men like the living legend and cultural hero El Guerrero Del Dios, but no counterpoint to the men like Dios... true evil. Enter a tall, lean, almost lanky fellow and a black and white mask adorned with the classic deaths head skull. The first Máscara De Muerte. He was the classic villain, cool, collected, mat based wrestling of an almost European background (hence the rumors he might have been from Spain) never letting the technicos see him sweat, which riled the fans almost as much as his opponents.


His wars against hero technico El Guerrero Del Dios were the stuff of legend, the wars they would fight over the decades following sold out arenas all over Mexico. Never once did Máscara De Muerte turn technico. For the entirety of his almost thirty year career he was the most hated rudo in all of lucha libre. In the early sixties he slowly started to fade into the background, making way for new stars to make their mark. But that was far from the end of the legend of Máscara De Muerte.


Máscara De Muerte II – 1968 / 1981, 13 year career w/ the mask.


Almost two years to the day after the original Máscara De Muerte retired from the ring, a promoter named Jose Ricardo Munoz (who was rumored to have bought the rights to the mask and trademarks from the original Muerte) decided the character still had legs. In short order the man known as arguably, the most violent and bloodthirsty rudo to ever dawn a mask entered the lucha libre world. Máscara De Muerte II was a stocky barrel chested little man and the only Máscara De Muerte to alter the mask tailoring a huge hole in the top to allow his long curly brown locks to flow free.


He’s described by most as the least successful of the four, even the much younger fourth incarnation, but he still carved for himself a nitch all his own in the lucha history books. Not one single match went by that this cruel barefoot brawler didn’t rip and tear at the flesh of his opponents. Billed as a true monster Máscara De Muerte II definitely set himself apart from his predecessors slick cool almost super villain like style.


Number two’s end came during a match in Mexico City, a simple plancha was all it took to end the career of this wild man. One foot caught on the ropes, he dove head first into the hard cement floor, his head cracked open like a melon, his back twisted like a pretzel. As hated, despised, and criticized as he was his controversial style and wild antics helped usher lucha libre into a new era, the days of slow paced mat based battles was for the most part done and gone, high flying and blood and guts was the order of the day. Máscara De Muerte II was a trend setter and his amazing career ended before his legend truly flourished.


Máscara De Muerte III – 1982 / 2002, 20 year career w/ the mask.


Within months the mask was passed down yet again. Jose Ricardo Munoz, the same promoter who revived the legendary mask several decades ago, did it yet again with Máscara De Muerte III.. but this time with a twist. The Máscara De Muerte, the symbol of everything evil and dark, the deaths head, the ultimate rudo was about to become a full fledged technico. Never officially announced, and not complete common knowledge, but Máscara De Muerte III’s real name is Hugo Diego Garcia, the son of a German missionary woman and a local body builder Juan Diego Garcia. When he was of age Hugo began training at a local gym.. a gym frequented by local promoter Jose Ricardo Munoz.


As soon as he saw Hugo and his huge six foot two inch frame looking like he was cut from granite he saw a star in the making. It wasn’t long before Hugo made his debut under the rudo moniker of The German Brute. A high stepping Nazi gimmick that was simple cheap heat but due to Hugo’s dirty blonde hair and light features it worked. The goofy heel gimmick was only a formality though to see if Hugo could hang in the ring with the rest of the talent. He was a tad slow on his feet, and nobody would mistake him for a technician or a high flyer.. but he could go. Enter Máscara De Muerte III.


He made his debut assisting Guerrero Del Dios Jr. of all people, the son of the very man who the original Máscara De Muerte feuded with for almost three decades. This action immediately won the hearts of the fans; the simple nostalgia factor didn’t hurt either. The duo tagged on and off for years all the while Máscara De Muerte III acted like a sponge slowly but surely becoming a more than competent ring general. His career spanned two decades, filled with good memories and even more classic matches. His impassioned speech the night he retired in early 2002, and the classic one on one encounter with long time tag team partner Guerrero Del Dios Jr. that followed is one of the all time top ten classic moments in lucha history.


Máscara De Muerte IV – 2002 / Present


So that brings us to today. Jose Ricardo Munoz’s son Daniel James Munoz (or DJ to his friends) now in charge of his fathers business had a brand new Máscara De Muerte waiting in the wings when number three announced his retirement. Several months after that Máscara De Muerte IV made his debut in front of a packed crowd in Mexico City. He was young he was much smaller than the previous three and he was breathtaking. The first true blue high flyer of the bunch, Máscara De Muerte IV immediately became a fan favorite and an honest to God overnight sensation. There are continued rumors that DJ is in fact the man behind the current mask, but the Munoz family has denied any and all as falsities and fabrications. Now five years into his young career, he’s decided to make a go of a career stateside. The legend of The Death Mask lives on.

Other Fed Awards NeWA Hall of Famer, WfWA Hall of Famer, WfWA Summer Games VII winner, NWF Hall of Famer, NWF Grand Slam Champion
Gimmick Pure hand-slappin' free-autograph-signin' babyface.


Strengths
1. All-around athleticism - Just because Christian has been out of the spotlight doesn't mean he's let himself go. While Light is still a massive powerhouse, he's shed a few pounds in order to add some speed and lateral quickness to his game. Combine that with an unparalleled enduraance that has been well documented over the years and we have as close to a perfect athletic specimen as one can get in a lifetime.


2. Experience - Light wrestled for many major wrestling organizations from age 18 to age 31. He's seen it all and done it all, and there's little left that would surprise him.


3. "Enter Sandman" - With a deadly combination of power and technique, Christian Light has been an effective match closer all his career. Even after 15 years, you can still count the number of kickouts out of Realizing The Dream on one hand. And no one has ever gotten up from The Sledgehammer. Above and beyond those two, Light's trademark moves are all devastating enough to end matches for unprepared and/or unaware opponents. Some have even succumbed to Light's brutal spear on occasion.


Weaknesses
1. Ring rust - Yes, Christian has continued working out since his last appearance nearly 3 years ago and yes he's worked the occasional indy show to keep his skills from atrophy. But breaking in a rookie in his 5th match is nothing like fighting in the big time.


2. Speed/quickness - While Christian is no longer a statue in the ring, he's still a massive man at 6'7" and 271 lbs. He will never gain the kind of speed or quickness that smaller wrestlers possess, and some of them can take advantage by staying out of his clutches.


3. Family - Christians history with his first fiancee Sara is well-documented in the lore of the NWA. In response to that he is extremely protective of his current family. But he's also proud to be a father, to the point that he named two of his trademark moves after his children. While Christian can usually maintain a calm demeanor in an interview/promo setting, in the ring Christian can be sent into a rage if the opponent says something particularly heinous about his family.

Wrestling Info


Entrance Music: "Indestructible" by Disturbed.


Physical Description Christian is a tall, well built Caucasian male with a closely-cut blonde flattop, blue eyes, and a neatly-kept blonde goatee. His body is well-cut from years of working out, with only one major scar (a burn wound across his chest) adoning his skin. He typically wears jeans and Timberland boots with a shirt or jersey promoting one of his sports teams (Penguins, Pirates, Steelers, Cavaliers, Crew).


Ring Attire: Christian wrestles shirtless, wearing plain white wrestling boots and blue wrestling trunks with white trim. Adorning the outside of each leg are the letters "RTD" with the R just below the hip trim and the rest of the letters vertically down the outside of the leg. Walking to the ring he'll typically wear his own T-shirt which he will take off and throw to the crowd prior to match time. The only exception to this is Hardcore matches, where Christian will leave the shirt on to protect his upper body from small lacerations.

Ring Entrance


[Darkness.]


< Commentator Prompt >


[Fans roar in anticipation. Lighters come on. Cell phones come out for the nonsmokers. Those by the entrance turn their attention to the ramp way, hoping for an early peak at the entrance. But aside from slight movement, there's nothing.]


[Nothing that is, but air raid sirens.]


[Sirens and the flash of blue spotlights panning around the audience in a quick, nervous motion.]


[Sirens, spotlights, and the sounds of machine guns firing off rounds.]


[And its at this point that a tall man steps onto the top of the ramp way.]


[A tall man with a blonde flat top haircut.]


[And at that moment, simultaneously with the guitar riff of Disturbed's "Indestructible" blaring from the speakers, all four or five of the small blue spotlights make one sudden motion to the man standing on the ramp way, hands on his hips and a smile adorning his face.]


< Fan Reaction/Commentator Prompt >


[Christian starts to make his way down the aisle extending his hands as far out as he could on either side. Dressed in a short-sleeve black Herirtage League T-shirt and blue wrestling trunks, Christian doesn't have to worry about shirt pull as most of the fans on the aisle reach out and slap hands with him.]


[As he reaches the ring from the aisle, Christian hops up to the apron of the squared circle and climbs in. Immediately Christian hits the nearest middle turnbuckle and raises both fists in the air.]


< Fan Reaction/Commentator Prompt >


[The music dies down. Christian takes off his T-shirt and throws it into the crowd. Hopping down from the second rope, Christian stretches out in the corner awaiting the match to begin.]

charges down to ringside.

Following closely behind is Farthington, sunglasses dipped down low,
taking in those around him while attempting to show off his body to
some of the ladies at ringside who generally have second thoughts
about such things. Closely following behind Cecilworth are four well
built gentlemen in orange t-shirts that exclaim each of them to be a
"TRAINER". Dirk guides Hank and Cecilworth into the cage, briefly
discussing some last minute strategy as Cecilworth's army of trainers
take their place in the DDP corner.

Extra Info:

Dirk and Cecilworth's army of four whole trainers will general stay at
ringside during the match.

(Note to Writer: Pedro has virtually no clue what he is doing, when writing him in ring make him as frantic and squirmy as possible.)

Bio (short)- Born and raised in Mexico City Pedro is a long time freelance camera operator. After having worked briefly with El Gordo Grande in the Ultratitle, Grande has reinstated Pedro to work with him again, this time for King of the Cage. Little does Pedro know that El Gordo actually has entered him as his tag team partner.

Wrestling Style: Suicidal – El Gordo likes to randomly jump into the ring and use Pedro as a human weapon. When this is not occurring Pedro is normally running around the ring frantic and doing whatever moves El Gordo has taught him.

Tag Moves:

Toss Plancha (El Gordo picks up Pedro and throws him in cross body fashion at an opponent)
Battering Ram (Pedro is used as a battering ram in the gut)
Helicopter (Pedro is put on the shoulders of El Gordo, Grande spins in a circle hitting opponents with Pedro’s arms and legs)

Finisher:
Adiós Pelotas – Opponent is set up sitting down in the corner, El Gordo Grande Grabs Pedro by the waist band and slide him full speed into the opponents groin.
Adios Amigo- Two man Impale DDT

Entrance Music: “La Bamba” by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan

Entrance: [Cue Up: “La Bamba” by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan as El Gordo Grande comes bolting out the curtains dawning a lucha mask that is painted and designed like a cat, leopard print. He wears signature leopard print spandex and white boots. As he stands there with his legs spread wide Pedro the Camera Guy slides in under El Gordo’s legs with a small hand held camera. His face painted in black, nose has black and whiskers across his face (sort of like Petere Criss from Kiss). They make their way down the ramp way slapping hands with the audience as they get in the ring taking corners hyping the crowd up. Pedro closes the camera and hands it to the referee while Gordo tells him their strategy.]

Brief Biography:

Big Dave Barista is the world's most caffeinated wrestler. He's always drinking coffee, except when he's wrestling, because he doesn't like getting DQed for spilling hot coffee on his opponents.


Team History:

Big Dave and Umpiro came together because they're both south of the border and both have an appreciation of each other's specialties. There's probably no rhyme or reason for the teaming.


Tag Team Maneuvers:

7th Inning Stretch - Barista holds the opponent in a Mexican surfboard stretch while Umpiro sings "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in Spanish. Once he's done, he dropkicks the victim while still in the stretch.


Cappuccino Crunch - Delayed powerbomb by Barista capped off by a top rope spear by Umpiro


Moon Shot Latte - Doomsday hurricanrana - primary team finisher

Re: EPW PRESENTS: KING OF THE CAGE: TAG TEAM EDITION

Handler: Ben
Character name: Malcolm Joseph-Jones

HANDLER INFORMATION

Real name: Ben Rusch

Email: rusch.benjamin@gmail.com

AIM username: The Benage

WRESTLER INFORMATION

Name: Malcolm Joseph-Jones (MJ2)

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 269 lbs.

DOB: 7/17/84

Billed From: Jackson, Mississippi

Face/Heel: Heel

Appearance: MJ2 is a very handsome black man with stylishly shaggy hair and a Van Dyke; picture Denzel Washington in Training Day meets Denzel Washington in Malcolm X, in a 6'6" wrestling frame. Outside the ring, he typically wears no-frills-whatsoever business suits with browline glasses. For ring attire, he wears protective plastic goggles with a black frame, electric purple tudo trunks with white trim, and solid black boots/kneepads.

History: MJ2 has always been an incredibly gifted athlete; he was the starting quarterback of his high school, as well as an elite track and field star. His physical tools alone would have opened hundreds of doors for him...however, his biggest problem for as long as he could remember has been his mouth. His substantial ego and inability to stop belittling others around him constantly prevented him from obtaining real opportunities in his life. He was always an exceptionally intelligent young man; unfortunately, he never had a problem shoving it in people's faces. College athletic departments quickly labeled him as a "Locker Room Cancer", preventing him from pursuing many of the colleges he was hoping to pursue. He soon became a four-sport star...at Division III Millsaps College. A dearth of career opportunities built a massive chip on MJ2's shoulder, and he soon turned to mixed martial arts and wrestling, as these sports not only wouldn't turn you away for being physically and mentally gifted and having an attitude; they embrace it.

Style: MMA-influenced brawler, typically prefers high-power maneuvers

Moveset:
Spinebuster
Short-arm Clothesline
Lou Thesz Press
Gutwrench Suplex
European Uppercuts
Rear Naked Choke
Abdominal Stretch
Atomic Drop (regular, not inverted)
Texas Piledriver
Running Forearm
Alabama Slam
Sidewalk Slam
Double Axehandle

Special moves:
Chokebreaker
Kneeling Powerbomb
Hip Toss Neckbreaker

Finishers (with setup moves):
Standard: "Dignifier" - Delayed Fisherman Buster (setup: Spear)
Submission: "Literati" - Guillotine Choke (setup: Snap DDT)
Special: "AMN (Any Means Necessary)" - Diving Double Footstomp (setup: nothing specific, he rarely breaks this one out)

Entrance theme: KU - Best of the Best (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4_nJF6a8oI)

Entrance: MJ2 enters feeling "in the zone", tending to ignore the largely-booing crowd. He walks in stride with the beat of his entrance theme. At the first refrain, he raises both his arms in the center of the ring, looking for a reaction from the crowd. When they meet him with more boos, he begins to trash talk everyone and anyone within earshot. After a few moments of this, he flexes his muscles, pointing specifically to his gloriously chiseled abs.

Bio coming tonight.

 

[DBrunkGXW]

You'll find all of the information I have on the participants in this thread.

I'll begin by copying the posts of each team/handler's sign up, then later, edit in their bios as they send them to me. Give me a day or so to get this updated properly. If you don't see your bio here by then, and you've sent one to me, send me a private message and we'll get it straightened out.

 

[DBrunkGXW]

Also, I'll be moving over the singles wrestler profiles I have once the pairings have been announced. I will copy them over as a team in one post for easier referencing.

Name: Paladin



Height: 6’4”



Weight: 240 lbs.



Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia



Face/Heel: Face



Appearance: Paladin is the wrestler formerly known as Kendall Codine Jr., son of retired great “The Blade” Kendall Codine. Paladinl is tall and slender, with an athletic physique. He is an avid visitor to the gym based upon his muscular build and virtually no body fat. He has long blonde hair, which he regularly pulls back in a pony-tail when competing. He does not have facial hair, as he sports a baby-faced like appearance. In the ring, Paladin wears full length red tights that display white trim running the length of both legs and has his name (PALADIN) written across the rear in white lettering. His in-ring attire is completed with white boots that are complete with red laces that match his tights.



History: Paladin is the first born son of retired professional wrestler, “The Blade” Kendall Codine. Born in 1987, both of his parents were very young. His mother chose to relocate with her parents, thus severing all ties with his father. Paladin spends his childhood in the school systems of the state of Pennsylvania. At the age of 14, Paladin lost his mother to a car accident. To no avail, his father spent his entire fortune obtained through wrestling in an attempt to regain custody of his son. Nonetheless, Paladin remained with his maternal grandparents and eventually graduated from high school in 2005. Being well aware of whom his father was at this point, Paladin chose to forgo college and enter the world of sports entertainment.



Paladin has competed mostly overseas under various monikers in an attempt to establish a name for himself, rather than riding on the legacy of his namesake. In 2010, Paladin chose to return to the United States where he went in search of his father. For the past two years, there are absolutely no records of Kendall Codine Jr. competing in the ring. Although he has yet to break the surface of his potential, the world eagerly anticipates the continuation of the Codine legacy in sports entertainment.
