ENTRANCE & ATTIRE
Entrance Music:
"Let’s Start Something" by Ted Poley
Ring Attire:
Gray vale tudo shorts airbrushed to look like a castle wall with the tops looking like the embattlements along the ramparts. Black knee and elbow pads with white rook designs on them. Black and white wrestling shoes. Black tape around his wrists.
Ring Entrance:
”IGNITION SEQUENCE STARTS: 6...5...4...3...2...1...0...ALL ENGINES RUNNING...LIFTOFF!”
During the countdown sequence, the stage begins to fill with white smoke, as the countdown gets closer to zero, until the guitars explode into earshot and the smoke is blown away and there stands Quintin Castle with his hands on his hips and a cocky smirk on his face as the camera sweeps in low like a Michael Bay shot, picking up the ring and arena reflected in his silver sunglasses. He makes his way down the ramp. At the end, he rips off his tear-away pants and tosses them away. Then he pulls off his shirt and tosses it over the camera, running to the ring and jumping up onto the apron holding his arms up and out to the crowd and soaking in the reaction. Then he slingshots over the top rope into the ring and takes off his glasses, handing them off to someone outside the ring, before scaling to the second rope in his corner as the chorus loops around again, before dying out. He hops down into his corner, waiting for the bell.

As it frames him up, he pats the title, drawing the eye to it. He makes his way down the ramp. At the end, he rips off his tear-away pants and tosses them away.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND
Picbase:
Ian Somerhalder
Gimmick:
Quinn is a former elite-caliber amateur wrestler, a former Pac 10 and Pac 12 (The conference switched his senior year at Stanford) champion and NCAA All-American. He’s cocky, smug, a little self-deprecating. After having his career hamstrung by a couple of freak injuries, he’s developed a mean, sarcastic side. Quinn also possesses one of the most feared finishing maneuvers in the sport: The Castle Crasher. One fateful night, he caught a Luchador coming off the top rope in an aerial version of this move. The next week, he reversed a Russian Leg Sweep into it. The week after that he slipped out of a torture rack and swung around the guy’s neck to hit it and the announcer mentioned it was the most dangerous move since the Diamond Cutter.
Since then he’s worked on finding and executing as many variations of this maneuver as he can. He can run up while you’re dicking around on the top rope and pull you down with it, he can back flip out of a backslide into it, catch you off the tope rope, drop you out of a suplex lift into it...he has as many variations of this move as the Diamond Cutter or the RKO. I encourage the writers to have fun with this, the more outlandish, the better.
Strengths:
1. Mat Skills
2. Conditioning
3. Toughness
Weaknesses:
1. Not an elite striker, or defender against
2. Not good in a hardcore environment, or bending the rules to an advantage
3. Not a flyer at all
Taunts/Mannerisms:

Bio:
Cocky, acerbic, smug; Quentin Castle’s journey spans from his upbringing in Thousand Oaks, California where he was a two sport athlete in high school to Stanford University where he was a Pac 10 champion and All American wrestler. He was invited to the 2012 Olympic Trials but failed to make the team. He did impress the coaches enough that he was brought along as an assistant to the coaching staff. The Stanford grad parlayed that into a job working for the USOC while training for another chance to make the team in 2016. While working out in the USOC headquarters’ hometown, Colorado Springs, Quinn met Stygian who was at the pinnacle of his career at that time. After talking with the man and watching a few matches, Quintin decided to change careers. He began training, at first after work, before quitting to commit to it full time.
Like any green hand in the business, Quintin Castle travelled the independent circuit in the US, and then in Mexico, Canada and Japan before finding his first long-term success in the United Kingdom. Castle was paired with Darren Jackson, an aging star who was nearing the end of his career, to form the tag team Common Ground; the name reflecting both men’s solid mat wrestling tactics. Common Ground were top tag contenders, winning several titles before Jackson retired in early 2016. Quintin Castle left the UK and returned to Japan where he tried and failed to qualify for the G1 Climax tournament, but had a mostly-successful year as a solo competitor, applying the lessons he learned from his veteran partner to elevate his game to a new level. He was good enough to draw the notice of American companies who had formerly overlooked him. Now older and wiser, Quentin is returning to the US just as the iron is heating up, and he’s ready to strike.
