His style revolves around getting pops through impressive spots, so he will dabble in a little technical or strong style too. Everything he takes to the ring, however, he can execute perfectly.

His entrances are always elaborate and firework heavy. In terms of his character, he’s always larger than life and has amazing mic skills, though his character’s personality has evolved over the years as he’s been a face on two separate occasions and a heel on two separate occasions. He’s a former World Champion, as his first heel turn saw him have a high profile feud with Drayden that really put the young up-and-comer on the map. As a face, Oscar is all about giving the crowd a show, spouting catchphrases and jokes in all of his promos and emitting pure entertainment like an aura. As a heel, he becomes an arrogant show-off, and his promos become wonderfully hateable and smug. He’s versatility with his gimmicks has what’s led to him staying fresh this long. [b]|[u]Face or Heel [/u]|[/b] » Heel(currently) [b]|[u]Backstage Rep [/u]|[/b] » Oscar’s been in this business a long time, and though isn’t one for creative control or backstage politics, trusting in the management and writing staff to do their jobs and he’ll do his, Oscar is a large presence backstage. Though he doesn’t haze new blood for the sake of it, he makes it very clear that the new faces should show respect to the business, the veterans, and to each other, and if they get out of line, the punishments will range from a match with Oscar that’s far stiffer than it should have been, to having to pay for a locker room expense like car fuel, food or booze (this is usually a punishment for stinginess), to simply getting yelled at in the locker room. That said, Oscar can be a patient and understanding mentor and friend to those who do show respect. When it comes to planning matches, Oscar will almost always take charge, though is open to suggestions, and will practice until the match is perfect.

In his gimmick’s newest incarnation, will sometimes hurt himself just to unnerve his opponent, as well as relish in the pain of his opponent instead of fighting to win quickly. A Hector match can be an uncomfortable watch, and sometimes won’t even feel PG even though it breaks no rules.

He was never a world champion though he did briefly hold the IC belt, and had an upper-card feud with Drayden during one of the rare instances when he wasn’t champion or challenging for the championship. This all came to an end over a year ago when Andrew had to go through a messy divorce, and took time off to return to Scotland and deal with that. He was written off TV by being set of fire from one of the chemicals of Dr. Sinister off the back of a feud with The creation, and then he was gone. Several months ago, he came back for training, and to people’s surprise, it’s as if he was never gone. She’s the same old chatty, friendly big scot who enjoys a drink, and he had very little ring rust. He fell back into place in the AWE machine and is now ready to return to the ring, though his debut is still being held off until after the tournament. Personally, Andrew isn’t sure his character still fits in with an industry that’s gearing towards a more realistic, MMA style populated by small, fast guys with realistic names and characters, or maybe that just means he’s needed more than ever. [b]|[u]Gimmick [/u]|[/b] » Hector’s new gimmick is far more genuinely scary and intense than his old one. He is now a deranged psychopath, and even though there are still blackout attacks and lighting effects, Hector is framed less of a supernatural monster than he was in his previous run and far more of an ordinary albeit twisted and deranged human, and therefore all the more unsettling for it, as he seems real now. He will wear creepy masks, give nonsensical promos that make the interviewer uncomfortable, stalk his feuding opponents backstage in skits and during their promos, ect. His mindgames are a thing of beauty now. Rather than before, where every opponent would get the same thing (dolls, abandoned asylums, little girls), now each feud’s mindgames are tailored towards the fears and insecurities of his opponents and a big deal will be made of him getting inside their heads.

The bodacious blonde has been using her sharp words to cut up divas since long before she made it big in AWE. Barbie knows that once a mind is broken, the body follows soon after. A strong background in gymnastics and technical wrestling from a young age ensure that Barbie has the strength and skill needed to back up all the shit she talks - both in, and out of the ring - and she certainly talks a lot of it. Unlike the weight that her skinny namesake suggests, Barbie is thick with toned muscle and, despite the extra pounds that she carries, most of her ring time is spent in the air - whether that be jumping off the ropes, doing flips, and hip attacking opponents with one of her most powerful [i]assets[/i]. When not exercising her more aerial talents, Barbie is keen on wearing down her foes' limbs through a couple of signature submissions.

A careful, modelesque stride, paired with a scantily clad wardrobe and a hypersexualized theme song, make Barbie’s entire entrance seem like one long strip tease. She keeps her clothes on, of course, this [i]is[/i] a televised sport… but that doesn’t make it any less obscene. The blonde acts like a superstar on a stage, and the only thing bigger than Barbie Summers’ ass, is her ego. A lot of people claim that she slept her way up the ladder and, to a certain extent, she did; the managers, and Barbie herself, dial up the drama on these claims, and make a spectacle of it. Prone to witty retort and petty cat fights in the ring, with a strong skillset to back it up, Barbie truly is a [i]belle of the brawl[/i], and the reigning queen of the divas. Much like her beloved boyfriend, Barbie walks as if the ground she walks upon should be kissed - because it should, she’s the best around! [b][color=e0218a]|[/color][u]Face or Heel [/u][color=e0218a]|[/color][/b] [color=e0218a]»[/color] She may be a heel, but she is the highest of heels - a dangerous beauty that people love to hate. The crowd often chants insults along the lines of “You-suck-Drayden!”, to which Barbie always has a new, sarcastically flirtatious response. She blows kisses at her haters, and feeds off of their negative energy… there is a fine line between between such polarized emotions, after all. [b][color=e0218a]|[/color][u]Backstage Rep [/u][color=e0218a]|[/color][/b] [color=e0218a]»[/color] While Barbie Summers, the wrestling diva, is a super bitch, through and through; Barbara Somerville, the woman, has a much softer heart. Not all of her gimmick is an act, it is more like an intense exaggeration of her true personality than a complete falsehood. Raised the only girl of a litter of children, Barbie was doted on and spoiled as a child. She grew up looking to her older brothers for approval; They were huge fans of AWE, and this fandom naturally spread onto her. Despite the low funds available in her trailer park-dwelling, fatherless, bayou upbringing, Barbie was able to join gymnastics as a talent and participated in many beauty pageants - all-the-while keeping her tomboyish love of wrestling. The combination of her blonde-haired, blue eyed beauty, charismatic stage presence, athletic physique, and long time love of the sport made Barbie a perfect fit to become a wrestler when the company passed through New Orleans, scouting talent. Barbie was 18 when the opportunity to join AWE arose, and she risked it all in order seize it. Barbie started off as a jobber - athletic, but a novice that was often booked to lose matches and build up other stars in the show. Barbie had bigger dreams than that... celebrity-status dreams. It wasn’t until last year - around the time that she started hooking up with Drayden - that Barbie Summers’ name became a household one. She ripped through the ranks until she could hold a crown all her own, beside her king. Talent isn’t [i]totally[/i] sexually transmitted, of course. Barbie has actually been good enough to defend her championship title through quite a few major match ups. That being said, she values hard work and ambition above everything, and supports the underdogs in their own fight to the top - she was once in their place, and she crawled from even lower places than many of them. While her inherent pride makes her unwilling to easily give up the title, if it were to go to someone worthy, like Trinity - her biggest ring rival, but good friend backstage - Barbie could manage to accept that defeat.

[color=e0218a]»[/color] Barbara is a bookworm - she loves reading and is often seen with a book in hand or close by her side backstage. When she is working out, which she does [i]a lot[/i], audio books are much preferred over music. Steamy romance novels are a particularly guilty pleasure of hers, but stories of all varieties fascinate and enthrall!

Sydney is a punk who will brutalise her opponents. She either wears black or camo ring gear, and her titantron video has heavy war themes as well as grungy text and filters. Her entrance itself isn't anything spectacular. Her song hits, the lighting turns green, and she marches out with purpose. Sometimes she'll walk out with a chair or a bat if it's a stipulation match that allows such things. Sydney's wrestling style reflects her character; grapple-heavy, with her spots often being shows of strength and power, or acts of barbarism or brutality, such as chair shots or attacks aimed at the head. [b]|[u]Face or Heel [/u]|[/b] » Heel [b]|[u]Backstage Rep [/u]|[/b] » Dawn, before being picked up by the company and trained from scratch to pro-wrestle, was first a British soldier, signing up for four years service when she was sixteen having seemingly no other options or aspirations. When she was discharged at age twenty, she had gained an appetite for physical fitness. She trained in MMA for a while before deciding that it wasn't her thing and she did not enjoy the competitive nature of it. She then turned to female bodybuilding. That's when she was picked up by AWE talent scouts, and was signed up to their developmental promotion, where she spent two years both learning and honing her wrestling skills. Seven months ago, she was moved up to AWE itself, and has enjoyed success as a dominant heel in the women's division. Dawn's rep has not suffered for this unusual career path, and she is a genuinely nice, friendly, respectful person who gets on well with the rest of the locker room, and will happily give tips on bodybuilding and fitness to anybody who asks of her. In terms of planning matches, Dawn is not a strict, meticulous planner, but nor is she comfortable calling moves on the fly. She likes to have a basic plan and the order of all the big spots at the very least decided on before the match. In the planning stage, she is more than accommodating of any ideas unless they undermine her character. She has a couple of rules she will not break for anyone, such as; she will never no-sell, she will never lose by submission unless it's an important PPV, and she believes that finishers should be protected and won't agree to perform or take too many if they won't win the match and it's not an important enough PPV for shock kickouts.

He has a talent for making drama that is the right mix between believable and entertaining. Though he also has a talent for dialogue, he never writes alone. Wherever possible, he brings the wrestler or wrestlers in question in and, with their input, creates promos that feel unique to every performer. After all, nobody knows a wrestler's character better than the wrestler in question. [b]|[u]Reason for being here [/u]|[/b] » After graduation from college with a degree in creative writing, he looked for work. For several years he drifted between jobs he did not enjoy. He was a newspaper columnist, then a journalist, then he tried to break into the world of screenwriting but had no success. All the while he engaged in his real raison d'être, writing novels, and of the few that got published, none of them were successful enough to change his life, or do much more than pay a couple of bills for another few months. Six months ago he got a call from Kevin Harrison, one of his college friends from the creative writing course, who had a high paying and creatively fulfilling job for him; being on the writing team for the biggest wrestling company in the country! Gary had been a fan of wrestling as a child. Most children he grew up with had. He lost touch with it during his teens but to be one of the people in charge of creating the kind of stories that used to hook him as a child, the kind of stories that may have been one of the things to insire him to write, was a dream come true! He naturally immediately accepted. [b]|[u]Looks & Style [/u]|[/b] » Gary practically never gets involved with anything on-screen. That being said he always wears a shirt and suit trousers to work, and always seems to have a plastic coffee cup or porcelain mug glued to his left hand. He's a big coffee drinker. [b]|[u]Personality Traits [/u]|[/b] » Gary, though talented and creative, is not used to a job this intense, and so is never seen without coffee in his hand. He is practically fueled by it. Another side effect of this lack of experience in such an industry is that he will take his holiday hours the moment he accumulates them, though this has not earned him heat as even when he's on holiday, he maintains an online correspondence with the rest of the writing team and still gives input, feedback and ideas. Really, he never stops working. Even when he's at home, he's thinking about the booking. He dreams about wrestling. It's his life now. [b]|[u]Favorite wrestler [/u]|[/b] » Gary does not play favourites. Ever. [b]|[u]Rep at AWE [/u]|[/b] » Gary is not the universally loved saviour of the writing team that Kevin is, but he still has a good rep with many of the wrestlers. The process of letting the performers have a hand in writing their promos is a very nice touch. Though they don't have complete control and very rarely get permission to improvise, Gary's method is greatly preferred to the old days when everybody had to repeat the given script word for word, and thus, every face sounded the same, and every heel sounded the same, barring catchphrases and some performers just being naturally talented enough to make it work and others not.
