MOVESET
Grappling Style:
1. Hybrid striker
2. Submission specialist
Finishing Moves:
1. For Our Majesty! (Richardson signals the end of the match, a finger in the air and a stern look in his eyes. Pulling his opponent back up onto their feet, he lifts them up in a vertical base - managing to show brute strength as he holds them there before swivelling their body around as he brings them down, a modified brainbuster connecting.)
2. Your Last Hurrah! (Modified double underhook guillotine choke)
3. The Kick of Life (His opponent is groggy, struggling to remain on his feet and Richardson picks up on this, heading over to the ropes, which he springboards off of and connecting with a sickening kick to the back of his opponent's head, who flips onto the canvas, almost out cold from the impact. But he isn't done yet. His opponent will slumber onto their hands and knees with Richardson running towards them, a punt kick to the head connecting. )
Trademark Moves:
1. Rage of Glory (Often performs this move out of nowhere or when he's back pedalling in the match, Richardson suddenly delivers a hard shoot kick to the thigh of his opponent who drops to a knee. Grabbing the back of his opponent's head, he delivers three consecutive knee strikes to the face before bringing his opponent back up and Irish whip into the ropes. He's quick, performing each move fast. He runs at his opponent, a hard back elbow to the head, with his back against his opponent - he drives each elbow back into his opponent several times, taking a step forward as his opponent stumbles out of the corner, before culminating the sequence with a sweet overhead kick.)
2. Fuck Honour! (After being on the receiving end of some punishment, Richardson has stomached all of his pain and anguish, allowing it to take over his body. He blocks a strike attempt from his opponent before all of a sudden bursts into a frenzy of boxing strikes, closed fists - connecting all over the body of his opponent who can't answer the frenzy of strikes, defenceless as Richardson loses himself with his strikes. The one strike that does it all is right at the end, where he connects with a sickening right hook that knocks his opponent down to the canvas.)
3. Senton Kick (Leaning his opponent against the corner, he connects with two knife edge chops that echoes through the arena. His opponent stumbles out, clutching onto their chest and he runs to the ropes, bouncing off of them and running towards his opponent, a senton kick to his stationary opponent who crumbles to the canvas.)
Common Moves:
1. Strikes (palm thrust, forearm, elbow, jabs, open palm, shoulder, uppercut, knife edge)
2. Kicks (roundhouse, drop kick, spin, overhead, bicycle, enziguri, shoot)
3. Armdrag take down transitioned into armbar
4. Side headlock slam onto the canvas, keeps the hold intact.
5. Hiptoss, cartwheeling afterward, claps his hand and basement drop kick.
6. Suplex variations (dragon, tiger, snap, german)
7. DDT variations (snap, springboard)
8. Snapmare followed by a kick to the back or a chinlock submission.
9. Submission variation (cobra, chinlock, camel, muta, kneebar, armbar, octopus, surfboard)
10. Consecutive clotheslines until point of exhaustion
11. Rolling fireman carry before springboarding his way onto the second rope, moonsault.
12. Lariat out of nowhere, flipping his opponent inside out if smaller.
13. Double leg take down followed by mounted strikes to the opponent.
14. Single leg take down which normally is transitioned into a single leg boston.
15. Drop toe hold
16. Hoisting his opponent up onto the top rope, claps his hands - drop kick, opponent falls on outside.
17. Running European uppercut
18. Spinning spinebuster in a sitout position
19. Flapjack which he then transitions into an ankle lock
20. Flying armbar
ENTRANCE & ATTIRE
Entrance Music:
"Arsonist Lullabye" by Hozier
Ring Attire:
- black wrestling trunks, with matching kick pads, boots and knee pads, one arm (often right) with a black sleeve.
stylised trunks that have "III" on the back, resembling his title.
- white tape wrapped from his wrists up to the palm of his hands.
- a gum-shield/mouth-guard
Ring Entrance:
Championship Entrance:
The same, with Gregory Murphy holding his title.
CHARACTER BACKGROUND
Picbase:
Iwan Rheon
Manager:
Gregory Murphy
Gimmick:
A secret organisation called "The Kingdom" have sent Liam Richardson to Frontier Grappling Arts. His goal? We're not really quite sure at this stage but it's evident that he means business, not leisure. He doesn't play for the crowd but if he does, it's simply mockery. This is a sport to him, not an entertainment business but a job that he takes very seriously. He doesn't speak, Gregory does that for him - he does his speaking between the ropes.
Strengths:
1. Style (he's a hard hitter, able to use any part of his body in order to knock his opponent down, this is something he had to be growing up in London otherwise he was going to be the one who was knocked down and out. As well as this, he's a skilled technician, mat based wrestling and submission wrestling also being an area of study for Liam.)
2. Smart (not only is he quite the looker, but he's smart, cunning and is able to deduce what his opponent is going to do next before they know. He's been studying the art for a long time, the art of deduction. But he's also able to find loopholes when trapped in submissions, or use his ring awareness to help himself out of a sticky situation.)
3. Resilient (hit him as hard as you like, this is only going to stir him on, somehow he gets stronger with every strike that connects, a heart of a burning junior heavyweight who doesn't know the definition of quit. Endurance also plays a part in this, he's able to go through unimaginable pain for a long duration of time.)
Weaknesses:
1. Temper (he's a small guy, and the stereotype is that small guys also have a short fuse, this is true in his case. If he doesn't like something, or someone pisses him off - he is going to lose his shit and not even his manager is going to be able to control him. This can lead to him being disqualified from matches, or losing focus, getting distracted from the main goal which is ultimately winning matches.)
2. Lone Wolf (though this can also be seen as a strength, it's also a weakness. He doesn't trust anyone, except from Gregory. Which means that if he's ever in a tag team environment, it's more than likely he's going to flake on his partner because it isn't about them in his book, it's all about him.)
3. Small (though he has got great strength, he is often smaller than his opponent, so they're able to perform power moves on him and toss him around the ring.)
Taunts/Mannerisms:
1. Right index finger in the air.
2. Cut throat taunt right before he does any of his signature moves.

Ring Entrance:
Playing through the arena is Arsonist Lullabye by Hozier and the lights in the arena dim. Emerging from the back accompanied by Gregory Murphy is Liam Richardson who stands at the top of the entrance ramp, his face vacant from any emotion. He looks up at the heavens, allowing jeers to echo through the arena as Murphy applauds him from behind.
[div style="text-align:center;"][span style="font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"][b]THE KINGDOM'S ASSASSIN![/b][/span][/div]
Appearing on the screen behind him are the following words which only encourage more boo's to echo through the arena but Liam doesn't care. He isn't even acknowledging the fans as he walks down the entrance ramp, his hands by his side and his eyes fixated on the four sided ring. He stops, chewing his gum and looking at the fans nearby, turning his head away from them and continuing his circle around the ring.
[b]Gregory Murphy:[/b] Ladies and Gentlemen. Introducing my client, bred from the streets of London, England where he honed his skills! He weighs in a one hundred and eighty pounds and is the Assassin of the Kingdom! You can hate him. You can vilify him. But you [b]cannot [/b]ignore him! LIAAAMMMMMMM RICCCHHAAARRRDDDSSOOOONNNN!
Boo's echo through the arena as Liam leaps on the apron, entering the ring and rushing to the ropes, bouncing off of them and heading to the opposite set. He then goes over to his designated corner, lowering himself as he holds onto the ropes and waits for the match to begin.Championship Entrance:
The same, with Gregory Murphy holding his title.
