ENTRANCE & ATTIRE
ENTRANCE MUSIC:
'Unsainted' by Slipknot
RING ATTIRE:
The long tights, usually a black base but can have various secondary colors with his last name running down his right leg in various colors of red, blue, gold, or purple. A pair of black boots with the letters SI on them. Could also have those colors as a base rarely. Could even have specific tights made for feuds. Big bulky knee brace on the left knee. His wrists and fists are taped with a couple of basic elbow pads. Sometimes he'll have a black hooded trench jacket on for his ring entrance but occasionally he'll instead opt for a basic black hoodie with the hood up.
RING ENTRANCE:
The lights go off entirely. After a couple seconds of the chanting...a spotlight comes down on the entrance ramp. And it reveals Seth Iser as he spins calmly with his arms posed out before he stops. He starts walking down to the ring with the spotlight following him down...glare etched on his face and listening to the fans boo him. A methodical, slow walk as he cracks his knuckles on the way down before pulling himself up onto the apron and enters the ring calmly before performing a crucifix pose at the center of the ring to revive the lights. He then goes to his corner and slinks to a seat just waiting for the bell to ring.
CHAMPIONSHIP ENTRANCE:
The lights are cut off entirely. The chanting of the music starts before a spotlight illuminates the part of the ramp and it reveals the champion, Seth Iser. He slowly spins around with his arms out before pointing at the championship around his waist. He starts walking down to the ring...glare etched on his face and listening to the fans boo him. A methodical, slow walk as he cracks his knuckles on the way down before pulling himself up onto the apron and enters the ring calmly before performing a crucifix pose at the center of the ring to revive the lights. He then retreats to his corner while taking off the gold around his waist and taking a seat in the corner while putting the championship over his shoulder while waiting until it's time to hand the gold to the ref for the match.
CHARACTER BACKGROUND
PERSONALITY:
Bitter, agitated veteran who seems angry at the world and follows his own version of 'the code' of wrestling. Also lowkey egomaniac.
STRENGTHS:
1. Knowledge of the Game: Seth is a highly intelligent wrestler with many years of experience. He'll use his size to overpower someone when he has that advantage. He'll wear a bigger guy down and try to take their best weapon away. There isn't a rule he doesn't know how to break, a hold he doesn't know or have knowledge of to escape and is often aware of the ring situation as long as his head is clear. This also means he's an absolute master of bending and breaking the rules to his advantage. This knowledge also allows him to conserve some energy at times when he needs to considering his limitations else where. If he has a mental advantage with a potential mind game he's not afraid here either. Those years of experience are his greatest weapon.
2. Deadly Right Handed striker: Seth has a strong right handed punch but this also extends to any strikes to his right hand and arm. It's been weaponized, seasoned and practiced for years as well as having some serious power behind that strike. It can both be used as a potential 'knock out' blow or to wind someone with blows to the stomach if playing the long game.
3. Defensive Wrestler: Seth is known as one of the better counter/defensive wrestlers in the world regardless of what style he's in against as long as his head is on straight. He might not have the most varied offense due to certain limitations but it somewhat ties into his first strength; he's GREAT at countering or engineering a situation whether it's a hold or with his mouth to turn a disadvantage into one of his advantages with the moves he's mastered.
WEAKNESSES:
1. Left Knee: A recurring problem for Seth. He's had multiple injuries to this left knee and even came into the industry years ago with it already banged up due to tearing it up in football. This is an obvious target and it also means a decrease in top-line speed, overall athleticism(he's probably lower end of this compared to most of the wrestlers) and mobility as the match goes along. He was never the greatest athlete in the world to begin with. It also means that knee is susceptible to submissions that will drain him over the long haul to wear him down faster and disrupt his base and his game.
2. Emotion: An emotional Seth might be more willing to damage someone and COULD take more actual ring time away from them...however he's extremely susceptible to being caught with a roll up or a small package if he were to lose his mind because it'd take away from two of his three greatest strengths. Could mean the right mind game also strikes here and can make him susceptible to losing it. If he's thinking rationally he's damn hard to beat. If he's thinking irrationally...well you might hurt more but it IS easier to beat him.
3. Wrestling world is selfish: Pairing a couple of characteristics together that to an extreme can be bad in some situations(good in a couple of others) pride and paranoia with his pessimistic view point of the wrestling world. Other than Moretti, Seth tends to have a long history of being a loner in the sport. He seldom makes alliances and often views wrestling and wrestlers as being utterly selfish and isn't particularly trusting of anyone or anything. He kind of sees enemies in every corner at times and the worst in people. It's a personal weakness that inhibits him trusting others and also makes trusting Seth hard as he'll often act for his own self interests first.
TAUNTS/MANNERISMS:
1. Finger twirl signaling for the DDT.
2. Verbal abuse to the audience when outside; often times yelling at them, ripping up their signs etc if he's pissed enough.
3. Has a bad habit of talking trash to whoever he's against, especially when he's punching them.
4. 'Now we're going to school.' -Follows up with a punch to the face-

-------------------------------
BACKGROUND:
Seth was born to a family of Christians who had no desire to ever have him. To say the very least, it was a strained relationship with his now deceased parents that have began his psychological issues. His physical health already began declining at a young age to an extent when his high school football career was cut short due to a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL in a freak accident. He soon found wrestling as his true calling card after this. The early portion of his career saw him haunted with issues with drugs and alcohol that stemmed from that football accident and his psychological issues. During that time frame, he garnered the nickname 'The Apocalypse' for his barbaric ways to harm opponents despite his less than stellar record at the time.
He soon traveled from federation to federation in almost a bit of a quest to quench this violence and leave his issues behind without ever succeeding. This is when his truly sadistic side became known. This makes him what you would call a nomad in the world of wrestling. In Japan, it kind of got worse. The physical style certainly started to show.
Stops in TEW and Genesis showed that he now has learned to start to cultivate what he can do with his mind. The NEW and VoW stops helped develop it further to compensate a little for his advancing years and now he's touring the world in IYH and now here at the FGA. He's won gold at Genesis, IYH, and especially NEW over the years but it's more his personality that's memorable rather than his accomplishments per say.
He is truly one grizzled, surly bastard.
