Ker-chow!

IC and the first card is live, folks!

Are the names in blue the ones that are supposed to win or go over?

Nah, I just wrote it out that Faces are in blue and Heels are in red.

Ooo I get the Russian! *pumps fist*

Wait? You gave Justin, the man who can talk all day long if given the chance, the big scary guys that don’t talk? And seeing how Owen doesn’t talk much, Justin will have to do most of the talking for this “feud”? It seems Christmas has come early and I’ve been a good boy.

Question: what belts are there, and who currently holds them? A tag team title, women's title, and Grand Title, I assume, any others?

I hadn't actually made any titles yet, but I can add them in really quick. Since I'd made it a big deal in IC that 'Handsome' Jack Ransome was the top draw, I can easily edit it so that he was the World Champion and had to vacate the belt because of his injury.

As for the other belts, I'll whip up some NPC title-holders and add them to the Locker Room CS.

Cool.

@AndyC

Sounds good, I can change my post to where the brothers start going after the tag titles instead of trying to build Owen up after you do.

Added the current Champions onto the roster, as well as adding a few more NPC wrestlers to interact with.

@AndyC

Hey, I don’t wanna be “that guy” who tries to correct you, but i think you misspelled the name of the Tag Champs. I’m pretty sure it’s spelt as “The Pride”. Just saying *wink wink nudge nudge*

Think of it as playing Career Mode-- you don't start off with the titles, you've gotta win a boss-fight first.

@AndyC

Yeah, that’s what I figured lol. Also I just edited my post to change what their plans are.

@BangoSkank You still with us, buddy?

If you guys are still accepting I'll start making a character :)

We're still accepting (and still waiting on a couple of people to finish their frggin' CS's already)

Ring Name: Big Ben

Gimmick: In transition between British Gent and British Football Hooligan.

Since his arrival in the US 4 years ago Big Ben has been a typical British Gent pacing the ring with icy disdain. He has attempted to be suave and debonair however he is just a little too tall to pull it off. Nevertheless he acts with haughty disdain entering in a full suit before ripping it off to reveal union jack shorts and knee pads.

With the recent rise in football hooliganism, with riots so bad news has made its way across an ocean, Big Ben was requested to adapt his gimmick to keep up with the times and to also appear a little more believable. With news report of mass mobs, stabbings this is a gimmick that more fits Big Ben's physical profile.

This new gimmick is yet to be debuted but a few planned gimmicks include an explanation to silly Americans that it's football not soccer, an explanation of why baseball is a girls game and a deconstruction of the similarities between American Beer and Rat Piss. None of these are intended to be well received.

Alignment: Heel

Age/Height/Weight/Hometown: 28/ 6ft 8 inches/ 280 lbs/ London (actually from Manchester)



Entrance Theme: Anarchy in the UK (starting at Righttt Nowwww)

Finisher and Signature Moves:

Signature: Tea Time
Standing holding his opponent against the ropes Ben appeals to the crowd shouting- What time is it?
The sound of Big Ben chiming sounds through the building and you hear 5 chimes. On each of the first 4 chimes Ben unleashes a devastating strike to his opponent against the rope with a short arm clothesline on the 5th chime.

Signature: London's burning
Essentially an armbreaker

Finisher: Top Corner
With his opponent on the ground Ben retreats two paces as if lining up a penalty kicks. As his opponent pushes himself up Ben runs up to boot him full in the face before celebrating in true football (soccer) fashion.

In-Ring Style: Big Ben has always been a slow grappling powerhouse that grinds his opponent down however the intention is for him to up the tempo a little in future matches with more striking. His new gimmick means there will be more use of weapons and dishonourable tactics going forward

Tale of the Tape: Though there has been nothing notable about Ben's wrestling career beyond a high winning record and a generally good reception he did during his first years in America star in 4-5 incredibly low budget films.

Real Name: Ben Addison

Backstage Bio: Ben was brought up on old fashioned British Wrestling which was devoted to clean catch wrestling. He remembers it romantically, watching it in front of the rich kid at the end of the street's TV, remembering his awe and delight at the grace and power with which these behemoths moved. It struck a chord with him and he knew it was what he wanted to do.

Nevertheless as he grew up the move of British Wrestling toward enormous weight and big personalities with the presence of huge wrestlers like Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks meant that Big Ben's pro career in the UK was short lived. A talented amateur that started wrestling in his late teens he burst through the amateur scene and was quickly offered a pro contract with an upcoming promoter in North Manchester. Winning his first 3 pro fights against guys of similar size and weight he was offered a high profile televised fight against almost a man almost 100 pounds heavier which stunted his repertoire. Unable to life and constrained to a ground assault only the fight was considered a dull flop until Ben was choke slammed and pinned. After that fight his career dwindled and he moved between promoters over the next few years.

Even at the tender age of 24, with no money coming in and promoters offering him low to unpaid work Ben had a call to make. Torn between loosing his dream of professional wrestling and finding a trade Ben pushed all his savings (and a significant chunk of his parents) to travel to America to begin again.

Beginning again was a struggle and Ben worked hours in jobs he hopes he will never have to do again just to keep himself in food and supplements. Nevertheless inch by inch he worked himself from the gutter. Under the new guise of Big Ben under a British Gimmick he has begun again and over the last 4 years has worked tirelessly to rebuild his image finally earning himself a place on the WWA roster.

In-Ring Skills/Reputation: Ben has been wrestling for 10 years (3 years amateur, 3 years pro UK, 4 years pro US) and is a technically solid Wrestler. Ben's best trait is that he is focused on giving the crowd a show be that through posturing or damn good wrestling. This makes him a consummate professional and a giving performer more than happy to take a plunge for a good story.

His weakness comes in a lack of functional strength and though large he struggles to lift above his body weight. He struggles to come to terms with this weakness and will occasionally take on moves that are just too much for him with dire consequences. He requires a firm hand to partner that will gently curtail his occasional flirtations with the impossible.

Mic Skills/Reputation: Ben is a crowdpleaser and happily plays to his audience. He is as happy being hated as he is being loved however the child in him still harbours a dream of raising a belt in front of a cheering crowd. He rigorously prepares his material in advance to make his speech as malicious or stirring as possible and is not the best at adapting to change tending to respond to surprises with quick and ruthless violence.

Backstage Reputation: Everyone is well aware Ben is all about the show and the fans however that can lead him into moves that though good entertainment may not be the best for his career. On the other hand some acts may enjoy his professional and unselfish attitude or dislike the risk that comes if he goes for the spectacular.

Motivation: Though Ben is in this for his love of wrestling and the fame and glory he associates with it Ben is in the WWA because of Sonny. Sonny gave him his first big break after coming to America. Even though the job was lower paid than another offer he received Ben took this job in an attempt to give a little back

Hindrance: Inability to take criticism. Ben really struggles to take advice even from older hands. He takes criticism of his performance very personally and this means he does not learn from his mistakes/ creates enemies when there was no need.
