ENTRANCE & ATTIRE

Entrance Music:
"Flaunt It" by TV Rock

Ring Attire:
Black tights with gold knee pads, black elbow pads, and white wrestling boots.

Ring Entrance:
TV Rock- Flaunt It begins to play as Athanasios Giannopoulos steps out onto the beginning of the entranceway with a velvet rope in his hands. He smirks as he looks out at the audience, then begins making his way down to the ring as he looks out at the audience and gives them two different responses; "you're in" or "you're not allowed in". Once he's ringside, Athanasios sets the velvet rope ahead of the ring, almost as if the ring is a VIP entrance, before he slides into the ring and heads over to his corner. AG then leans up against the corner as he strokes at his chest hair while waiting for the match to begin.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND

Pic Base:
Sylvester Lefort

Gimmick:
Greek night club manager on the side, but he brings his job qualities to work, like the velvet rope.

Bio:
Athanasios Giannopoulos was born in Thessaloniki, Greece on March 15th, 1986 to a Greek father and a French mother. During his pre-teen years, AG had a love for the sport of soccer (or football as it is called in his country), but that love would fade away when he turned 13. At the age of 13, Athanasios actually stumbled across a club while riding home from his friend’s house one day and he dug the music they were playing. So much so that he quit soccer to try a hand at making club music. After a couple of failed attempts, Athanasios gave up making club music at the age of 18, when he would move from Greece to Queens, New York. At the age of 18, Athanasios took a job as a club bouncer. From that age until he was 21, AG was a bouncer, but once he turned 21, he worked towards becoming a bartender. The goal was achieved at 22, when he would get his bartending license, then begin bartend for the same club he was working at. At the age of 25, the club’s manager was fired for his poor business ethics, allowing Athanasios to take over the job a few days later. He then turned the club around and remained at the helm until the beginning of this year, when he would be hired by Felicity Banks to run the club while in her absence.

How did he get into wrestling? Well, Athanasios father was actually a professional wrestler in Greece, though he never achieved much. Now that he has the opportunity, Athanasios will look to learn more about the sport his father could never truly succeed in while bringing in his full time work to this.
