Post by FGA Office on Oct 31, 2012 20:06:51 GMT -5
Wrestler's Name: John Raide
Wrestler's Nickname: Almighty
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 239 LBS
Alignment: Face
Gimmick: John Raide is a man with nothing left. Alcoholism has taken his health, his youth, his career, and most importantly his family. It's an addiction he can't lick, and he finds himself back in professional wrestling not for love of the game, but because he has nothing else. He's searching for something to fill the hole that his family has left behind. Who knows if he ever will.
Hometown: Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Now Residing: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Entrance Music: "Bartholomew" by The Silent Comedy
Pro Debut: 1990
Pic Base: Triple H
Grappling Style: Technical, Power
Finishing Moves
.1 Fade to Black/FTB - John Raide hits his opponent with the oft-referred to Pedigree, but it is not the facial impact that harms his opponent, but rather the sheer force of his balls of steel caving in the back of his opponent's skull that does the most damage.
.2 FTB '05 - Raide uses a Tiger Driver' 91. It's kind of a dick thing to do, you know, breaking your opponent's neck like that.
.3 Sharpshooter - What it says on the tin.
Trademark Moves
.1 OWN3D It's a Shining Wizard.
.2 Spinebuster What it says on the tin.

Exploder Suplex
.24 Shining Triangle Lock
.25 Devil Lock
Ring Entrance
The lights in the venue dim down low, and the throbbing beat of a kick-drum thumping over and over again is heard. The lights flash in time with the beat.
"Oh my God
Please help me
Knee deep in the river trying to get clean
He says wash your hands get out the stains
but you best believe boy there's hell to pay
yeah you best believe boy there's hell to pay"
"Bartholomew" by The Silent Comedy kicks in over the PA system in the FGA venue for tonight, and "Almighty" John Raide steps out from behind the black curtain. He stands solemn at the top of the entrance way as fans practically spill over the guard rails with their hands out, reaching for their hero. Raide looks out over the sizable crowd and smirks. He starts his walk to the ring.
Wrestling fans fall over themselves slapping Raide's back and touching him if they can. By the time he makes his way to the ring, a large chant of "FADE-TO-BLACK" echoes throughout the venue, which Raide ignores and hops up onto the apron. He enters the ring through the middle rope and quickly moves to his corner, not acknowledging the audience or the chants in his favour. He slumps into his corner, waiting for the bell to ring.
Ring Attire
John Raide wears long tights, often airbrushed with various symbols and written words that express his life and career over the last 20 years. Most prominent are the "OWN3D" placed over his right knee pad, the same knee he uses in his Shining Wizard move. Another notable reference is "RIP JAKE" with an airbrushed photo of his old rival and friend, Jake Matthews. He also wears black boots with "FTB" airbrushed on the side, as well as black elbow pads and taped fists/wrists.
Bio
It's long, involved, and kinda interesting. It'll come out in the roleplays.
