PERSONALITY INFO
Theme Song
“Revolt” - Wild Fire
Gimmick
King of Failure
Personality:
Oh… you’ll see.
Strengths
Resiliency: To take him out you will basically have to cripple him. If you don’t, he’ll just keep coming like a zombie at you.
Pain Tolerance: He’s so used to being the daredevil, the risk taker, that he developed a high tolerance point for pain. This allows him to find ways to find ways to escape submissions and take punishment most would just fail to tolerate.
Submission Knowledge: Gareth was a BJJ blue belt before his retirement, in the time since, he took the sport more seriously becoming a real threat on the floor and developing his submission and joint manipulation skills to higher levels.
Weaknesses
Asthma: This doesn’t go away, the longer the match gets, the harder it is for him to breathe. Granted, he has developed his lungs to the point where the hard times come later on, but it didn’t disappear.
Overconfident: Gareth KNOWS he can break you; he KNOWS no one in wrestling can go hand to hand with him when it comes to submissions… at times it bites him in the ass.
Careless: He doesn’t care, literally, if he wins or loses. He has one goal and which hand the ref raises at the end doesn’t matter to him.
FIGHTING INFO
Fighting Style(s)
(delete the ones that do not apply)
- Brawler: Your character relies on striking to pummel their opponent into submission.
- Psychopath: Your character is reckless in the ring, often hurting themselves just as much as their opponents.
- Submission Expert: Your character has a varied arsenal of submission holds, and looks to end matches via submission where possible.
- Technical: Your character is well versed in various holds, takedowns and suplexes - giving them a strong, mat based style.
Finishing Move(s)
“Tudor Rose” - Triangle Choke*
“Simple Twist of Fate” - 180 Stunner**
Kneebar (basically he grapevines the leg of his opponent, not letting go even if said opponent, somehow manages to grab the ropes)***
“Starlight” - Shooting Star Press****
*Preferred finisher, ALWAYS go for this unless stated otherwise.
**Will use when all else fails or when the rules of the match demand a finish that don’t involve Submissions.
***If applied, it should be the finish of the match; no IF or BUTS… if when writing the match, he uses the Kneebar, it either ends in a Submission Victory for him or a DQ Loss for him; for holding the hold for too long.
****He’ll only use Starlight if everything else failed him and he’s desperate. DO NOT USE WITHOUT ASKING.
