[size=150:18oelwhe]Wrestling Information

Style: Boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and some Pro-Style
Type: Offensive
Strategy:
His strategy, should he actually manage to follow it throughout the entire match, is to strike first, strike fast and overwhelm his opponent. Generally softening up his opponent with strikes first, leading into rather vicious ground-and-pound techniques to further weaken them physically, but also to weaken their resolve as they fend off such a vicious attack. Once he senses his opponent has been sufficiently weakened and discouraged he will usually go for a submission. He has also recently added an array of throws, slams, and take-downs to his arsenal in preparation for his debut on Tension.

Preferred Attacks:
Strikes, Ground and Pound techniques, basically anything that can be used to overwhelm his opponent both physically and mentally. Though, he has been recently encorporating pro-style moves into his arsenal as well, for obvious reasons, and has grown fond of the style's various throws and bodyslams.

Preferred Matches:
Given the choice, he tends to lean toward matches with less restrictions like no-holds barred matches or backstage brawls, as his hot-headedness can tend to lead to unecessary DQs. Otherwise, he prefers a straight up battle. Even in a match that allows weapons, he's very unlikely to use them.

He finds himself at a big disadvantage in Handicap matches as his training was intended for single opponents. He also finds difficulty in submission only matches, as a big part of his plan of attack is to use strikes to wear his opponent down first.


Endurance: ★★★★★
-His time as a professional MMA fighter has taught him how to take a lot of punishment.

Strength: ★★★
-He's quite strong for his size but his wiry build leaves him without the body mass to fully take advantage of it

Speed: ★★★★
-He's always been natually quick, but has trained extensively to improve it further.

Defense: ★★
-His style, if it can really be considered a style at times, leaves little room for any but the most basic of defensive maneuvers.

Technique: ★★★★
-He's a skilled fighter but, despite his normally aloof demeanor, he does have a bit of a temper making him frequently forget his training in favor of an overwhelming assault.


Finishing moves:
Crash 'n Burn:
He charges, ferociously, at his opponent and Spear's them to the ground to stun them, then he moves in to mount his opponent and applies an Arm-Triangle Choke.

Superman Punch:
He suddenly leaps forward at his oppenent and lashes out with a powerful left cross. If this doesn't knock the opponent out, he will generally move in for a submission. Or, in the case of tougher opponents who fail to even fall down, he may follow up with a Crash 'n Burn.

The Rack:
(Generally used when his opponent is lying face down) He applies a sleeper hold on his oppenent before hooking his ankles around those of his opponent and maneuvering his knees behind the oppenents back. Once he's in position, he rolls over to his back taking his opponent with him and pulls their body against his knees, putting extra pressure on the choke while also putting a painful stretch on the opponent's abdomen. If he's feeling confident enough, he may hold onto the choke with only one arm and add in a few strikes to the abdomen... or whatever else comes to mind.


[size=150:18oelwhe]Characteristics

Physical Appearance:
Slightly above average height with a somewhat wiry build, though the definition in his musculature is quite apparent. He is quite handsome, save for the fact that some sort of accident left him scarred over a very noticeable portion of his upper body and face.

Wrestling Attire:
As shown in the pic. Though, he loses the hoodie before entering the ring. He generally enters the ring wearing mma gloves as well.

Personality:
He is generally soft spoken, aloof, and just a bit sarcastic; seeming not to care about much outside the ring. But, it's mostly a facade to mask his lack of interpersonal skills and the self consciousness brought on by his scars. This particular trait is especially prominent in the presence of attractive women, which could very well cause problems for him in the ring. Once in the ring, however, he's typically very focused and not prone to flashy displays of arrogance and overconfidence. He is also very competetive and hates to lose, which is made evident when a fight starts going against him and his fuse begins to burn much quicker. It's a bit of a double-edged blade as he tends to throw caution and defense to the wind, in exchange for raw power and ferocity.

Past/History:
He grew up a young man from the wrong side of the tracks. The neighborhood was tough, the people he was surrounded by were tough, hell, life was tough. So he learned, at an early age, that he wasn't going to get anywhere unless he was tougher than all of those things. When life got tough, her persevered. When people pushed him, he pushed back harder. So hard, in fact, that he caught the interest of an MMA fight promoter in a chance encounter. He walked away from that in hand-cuffs, but with a new job waiting for him once he was released.
He made a lot of progress as a fighter and managed to go pro at the young age of 19. He was a great fighter, but he was also hot-headed and impulsive. Regardless, he was quite the rising star in his weightclass until tragedy struck. A car accident took him out of commission. He had to endure months of physical therapy and rehab before finally making a full recovery. But, considering the nature of some of his injuries, he wasn't able to return to professional MMA. Fortunately, he'd caught the interest of other organizations during his time in the octagon. It wasn't long after it was announced that he wouldn't be able to return, an offer came along from the AFW to join the Tension roster...


Fun Facts:
-During his time in the MMA, he never lost a fight by knockout or TKO. (Though the same cannot be said about tap-outs and losses by points.)
-He has a criminal record. Nothing major or recent. But he had plenty of brawls before finally deciding to do it professionally.
