Global Pro Wrestling

face claim

Name: Mark Clifton
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Height: 6’ 5”
Weight: 250 lbs

Alignment: Face
Gimmick: In a mentor position of sorts over Michael Starblazer, he tries to get the younger guy to be less cocky until he’s gained some experience, but he recognizes the potential he has. A little older than the other people on the roster, he has lots of experience. Has a decorated career already and isn’t too interested in going for the heavyweight title, instead pursuing the tag titles with Starblazer.

Backstage, he’s a bit of a locker-room leader, and is happy to put over younger talent when necessary.
Entrance Music: boop
Entrance Description: Very simple entrance, nothing too fancy. Just walks down and highfives the fans on the way down.

Wrestling Style: Technical
Finishing Move: Sharpshooter, Double armed DDT
Signature Moves: Arm drag, classic suplex, butterfly suplex, dragon sleeper, diving headbutt, small package, European uppercut

Here ya go.

Just a joke on my part. I mean, nobody wants a Kane vs Tajiri situation, do they?

(Make it happen bookers! You don't want an angry Japanese man with lawyers on your ass for racial discrimination!)

@Sloth

Haha, I guess that's true! I'm honestly considering just doing a workout promo like Rusev's for wrestlemania... but at the sametime, might as well make the mouthpiece earn his check.

Global Pro Wrestling

Oh lord, poor Kintaro's being fed to Bork.

Minor question regarding the promos, but should we assume they occur in the weeks preceding the tournament show? And, more importantly, is there any restriction as to what kind of promo we use? IE: Vignette, press conference, etc? I ask purely because I've got a few ideas in mind.

@Sloth

I mean, Drayden doesn't really have to go over.

GM,

Do you have any authority (lol) figures in charge of GPW? Cause you have like the "indy"-est roster. No offence. But it seems like that's what you are going for. And it's not like you get the big WWE style promos at local wrestling shows because the "plot" is just matches with a winner so beyond "I will beat this guy in the ring because I am great/he sucks/he interfered in..." there isn't that much I can see to write about, compared to like an anti-authority storyline, or a "guy in charge picked me to..." and so on.

@Lights

Indy wrestling is better anyway, isn't it? =p You can have good storylines without an authority figure, though I agree that they certainly can help. I think it'll work fine. ^^

Adventurer's Inn?

I like the latter. But the first one would be more balanced.

Global Pro Wrestling

We need more people so we can get a Bullet Club. Just sayin'.

I'm working on the tag-team guy, but I don't have a name or a picture...

i guess i’ll see this as his face claim

Name: Drayden
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Height: 6’ 7”
Weight: 300 lbs

Alignment: Anti-hero face-ish I s’pose. Hard to place him since he just comes in and fights. I guess it’ll be more based off of what his mouthpiece says and who he’s working against.
Gimmick: He’s here to fight and win, nothing else. He goes out and immediately takes it to the opponent, often starting before the bell has even rang. In promos, he doesn’t talk too much, instead letting his mouthpiece do most of the work for him. Wants to be the best and knows he has the potential to do so, focused solely on winning the GPW World Title and never, ever letting it go. He will fight anyone at anytime and at anyplace to achieve this goal(possible idea is he holds weekly open challenges, or something). There’s a lot of chest pounding involved when he’s working his match, and chants of things like ‘fuck ‘em up, Drayden, fuck ‘em up’ commonly fill the arenas.

Very old school in the sense that he stays in character off-screen too. Wrestles with gloves like Undertaker has(not sure what they’re called?) and singlet similar to Kurt Angle, including taking the straps down when business is about to pick up. Mouthpiece is named Grant, chubby and absolutely dwarfed beside Drayden. Has blonde hair.
Entrance Music: boop might change it later on though.
Entrance Description: Walks out and does the bork dance while sparks fall behind him, then cracks his neck and sprints down to the ring, slides under the ropes and gets straight to business if his opponent is already there.

Wrestling Style: Powerhouse/grappler, works very stiff
Finishing Move: Spinebuster, pop-up powerbomb
Signature Moves: Spear, belly-to-belly suplex, German suplex, lariat, Hell’s gate, big boot, Ankle lock, shooting star press

Yeah sure go ahead. What's his manager's name by the way?

@ZeusTheMoose

Oliver Grant. Just goes by 'Grant,' though. A little on the chubby side, and absolutely dwarfed by Drayden. Stands under 6' and has short blonde hair.

Global Pro Wrestling

Cool, glad you like him. Should I go ahead and throw him in the char section?
