Deadman

= Profile =

Appearance
Head: At 43 years of age, Deadman has distinct creases in hs face, down his cheeks, from the edge of his nostrils to his lips, and two furrows where the ridge of his nose meets with his forehead. Deadman has thickish dark eyebrows that always seem to sink over his eyes and ascend slightly at opposite ends of his head. His eyes are naturally brown, but he sometimes wears contacts that hide his pupils, making his eyes appear white. Between his eyes, branded on his forehead with ashes is a cross, symbolic to his Christian faith. Deadman is bald, with a thick neck, which he also has a cross tattooed upon its back. He also has a long pointed goatee on his chin.

Body: Deadman stands 7 feet 3 inches tall, and weighs 340 pounds. A large man, to say the least, but always in phenomenal shape. Across his pale skinned body are various tattoos symbolizing the many opponents he's defeated throughout his decorated wrestling career. A couple notable tattoos include the letters spelling "THANATOS" Across his chest, and the RX on his right bicep.

Attire: In a managerial role, owner and co-founder of the H.W.A. Deadman wears a customized high gorge four button longish single breasted black suit with wide shoulders and black front pants. Usually he keeps his jacket unbuttoned and wears a black three inch point semi spread collar placket square French cuff casual business shirt underneath. Normally, he keeps his collar two buttons down with his sunglasses hanging from the slot. On his wrist Deadman sports a $275,000 Forbes Breguet Swiss watch; a good symbol to indicate how much Deadman values time. On his massive feet, Deadman wears a pair of black classic long wing 5-eyelet Bluchers, and Orvis Enduro Cashmere socks.

Entrance
("Death Blooms" begins to play as a long path of smoke relieved by a hint of midnight blue prolongs down the ramp. Deadman emerges from behind the curtain as he slowly walks towards the ring. Ignoring the fans, he stops in front of the squared circle, and looks up at the house lights, before walking up the ring steps and over the top rope. Deadman positions himself in the center of the ring and instantaneously shoots his arms up from his sides as a bang causes the lights to turn on.)

Fighting Style
Power/Brawler

In-Ring Tendencies

Move List
1. Guillotine leg drop - With his opponent bent over the middle rope from the apron, Deadman will climb to the top rope and execute a leg drop across the back of their neck.

2. Power Bomb - A jacknife style powerbomb.

3. Firemen's Neckbreaker - After hoisting his opponent upon his shoulders, Deadman throws his opponent behind him, landing in a flapjack.

4. Death Sentence - Deadman gets his opponent in a suplex position and simply drops them stomach first on the top rope. (This usually sets his opponent up for a unique guilloteen legdrop from the top rope, across the top half of their body that hangs partially inside the ring.)

5. Two handed chokeslam - Grabs opponent's neck with both hands, and lifts him above the ground, before quickly tossing him to the ground.

6. Snake Eyes - From a press slam position, drops opponent's neck across the top rope.

7. Big Boot - Usually executed after an Irish whip.

8. Neck Crank/Sleeper

9. Military Press Slam

Signature Move
Chokeslam - Deadman grasps their opponent's neck, lifts them up, and slams them to the mat back-first into the canvas. He sometimes holds his opponent in the air for a few seconds, with their back high above the canvas before slamming them.

Finishing Move
Deadline - Deadman places his opponent in a full nelson hold and uses it to lift them off the ground. Once in the air, the aggressor removes one of his arms (so his opponent is now in a half nelson) and slams them down to the mat.

History

Deadman hangs up the boots.

Near the end of Deadman's wrestling career, Deadman founded the Honorable Wrestling Alliance with intent on creating a wrestling promotion that adhered to honorable values, and classic professional wrestling - old school wrestling at its finest.

In recent history, Deadman managed H.W.A. Hall of Famer Ronnie McNeil so that Ronnie could continue the legacy of Honor that Deadman started. Together their goal was to impliment the honor that has been lost in H.W.A's recent history and to once again bring it back.

In Ronnie's efforts, he was put out of action for a short while after a brutal beating he received at H.W.A.'s Frontline, and for a couple months leading up to H.W.A.'s biggest extravagenza, Ring of Honor IV Deadman attempted to uphold the Honor of the H.W.A. on his own.

Deadman in a constant struggle to uphold the honor of the Alliance actually ended up falling down the path of dishonor without realizing it. In a presidential role, Deadman's power started to get to his head until Deadman's so-called honor was finally challenged by an individual who rarely speaks, but when he does, everyone listens: HWA's very own, Kemono.

Deadman vs. Kemono (Ring of Honor)
At Ring of Honor IV, Deadman laced up the boots for one last time in the most significant match of his career, and he defeated the Devil-Monster himself with honor to prove to Kemono and to the world that he is the true father of the Honorable Wrestling Alliance.

After the match however, the Devil-Monster unleased the beast within him, and brutally attacked the President, delivering his signature move The Sinister Urge to Deadman onto the steel ringside steps.

Deadman's current status
Deadman is currently hospitalized, and is said to be paralyzed from the waist down. No confirmation from the President on this rumour has been provided yet.
