Character Name: Johnathan 'the Beast' Cable
Character Age: 52
Hometown: Born in Oil City, PA, but hails from Jacksonville, FL since 1993
Pic Base or Description (Include hairstyle, tattoos, or distinguishing features if you don't have a picbase):
1999 - Current - Gene Snitsky (Post 2020, the older Snitsky, with the massive graying beard)
Currently John is rocking the bald look with a massive graying hillbilly beard covering many of his facial disfigurements. In his older years, John has lost some of the mass of his younger version, but has maintained his very rigid workout routine and is in the best shape of his life.
John has a black tribal lion head tattoo on his left deltoid that swirls across his shoulder with hairlike tendrils, and a green 'NBF' logo on his right shoulder blade.
Height & Weight: 6'5”, 256lbs
GEAR
Entrance Attire:
John does not waste time on extra gear to wear to the ring. He wears his ring attire when he is at work, and finds little value in the theatrics of gimmick pieces and flashy robes and boas. He doesn't begrudge those who use them, but he does not find any value in the aesthetic for himself.
Ring Gear:
John finds the Spartan ideals of utilitarian usage to be the best for him, and thus, he has designed his ring attire to match his ideal fighting gear.
He wears black Gi pants emblazoned with the 'New Breed Foundation' logo in white and green graffiti lettering up the left leg and a green smoke trail stretched down across the length of the right leg. He has green and black 'NBF' kick pads and black and green knee pads. He wears black and green 'NBF' elbow pads and black and green wrist and finger tape blocking out his knuckles like his classic boxing background would belie.
He does not wear a shirt or a Gi Jacket, and no belt either. He has shaved his head to keep from having his hair pulled, and braids his beard into twin viking braids when involved in a match to reduce the ability of his opponents to use it against him.
Every aspect of his in-ring gear has been thought out and has been made in a way to minimize the usage against him, and to maximize the protection of his body and the utility of the moves in his arsenal.
Merchandise Description:
The New Breed Foundation has had many clothing designs over the years, and has had a full line of merchandise sold across 3 decades and no less than 6 Promotional Wrestling Companies.
Currently, the new line of WGWF Relaunch Merch has hit the shelves, including pieces of NBF Exclusive Apparel.
Other items, such as the 'NBF' Temporary Tattoo, 'NBF' Elbow and Knee Pads, and 'NBF' Logo mouse-pads are also selling well on the WGWF online Merch stores lately.

Trenches - Pop Evil
RING ENTRANCE
Entrance Description (250 words max):
"The lights dim around the arena and a hush descends on the crowd. The opening taps of drums and the beginning riffs of the guitar of Pop Evil's 'Trenches' can be heard filtering through the speakers. Green pin spots swirl wildly around the arena flashing across the fans as they start to cheer wildly. Smoke fills the metal ramp as the drum beat and the guitar pick up a bit. A figure can be seen making its way out of the curtain atop the ramp, and green spotlights tear into the darkness, crisscrossing wildly in front of the curtain where we see a large silhouette of a man lit by bright green spotlights from behind the curtains.
The lyrics begin to chant the chorus and the fans really get into the bass beat of the drums and the kicking riffs of the guitar. The spotlights are waving across the stage wildly, and out of the darkness of the curtain, into the green spotlights dancing across the arena in a swirling cascade of color, just as the music kicks in hard, Johnathan Cable springs forward onto the ramp screaming in defiance at the arena before him. Cables stalks his way down the ramp towards the ring, raging intensity boiling just beneath the surface, focused intently on the task at hand.
The lights switch slowly to bright white house lights as the music fades out, and Johnathan slides in under the bottom rope to get ready for his match."
STYLE
Wrestler Style:
John originally trained as a boxer under his adopted father, Hank, but transitioned his focus early on in his career to Brazilian Jujitsu and technical wrestling to change his trajectory from a boxing contract to a career in professional wrestling.
He traveled the US with his coaches and Hank and experienced many different training camps early on, learning a vast array of American Wrestling styles and techniques, then went to Japan in his 20's to learn Strong Style and Submission Techniques from the Japanese Wrestling Circuits of the 90's.
Upon his return to the States, John found himself embroiled in the Hardcore Scene of the late 90's in the US wrestling industry and made a name for himself as a Hardcore Champion.
Due to his decades of in-ring experience, access to the best of the world's trainers and technical developmental minds, and his dedication to a grueling workout regiment of his own design, John's stamina and resilience make him a capable, knowledgeable, and dangerous technician with a brutal violent streak and a never say die mentality.

STORY
Biography (500 word max):
After finding his mother dead, then watching a man murder his father, John killed the man responsible, and entered the State Ward Program at age 9. John then spent several years in foster care before he met Hank Winthrop, a retired fighting trainer. After a long time, Hank decided to train John to fight.
After John lost his first fiance at the hands of a man he was scheduled to fight, John lost his shit, and killed several people before he left the warehouse that night. After several hearings, John was exonerated, and the murder charges were dropped, but his professional fighting career after the cage fighting and the murders was gone.
John decided to try out professional wrestling. After years of working the world, he finally found a home in the EWCL. During his time there, he won several Titles and was named as the EWCL Tag Team of the Year after their impressive one-year title reign as the New Breed with Aaron Gold. John also won the Hardcore Title twice in the EWCL.
John eventually married his tag partner's sister, Jessica, and began a multi-billion dollar worldwide charity foundation, the New Breed Foundation.
In 2003, John became involved with the Royal Family in the EWCL, and after many atrocities occurred, John got his revenge, but not before the Royal Family had burned down his gym and helped in the scarification of his face begun by Straight Hate just one week prior to their Iron Circle Match.
After Jessica's abduction and the loss of the gym, John spent a log time in mental recovery out of the public spotlight. Eventually, Jessica and Johnathan would return to the ring in the XWF.
Jessica suffered a severe trauma after her debut match in the XWF and was hospitalized, where she would fake her death.
During this time, another wrestler, Karl Cross, in a bid to draw Cable's attention, burned down the rebuilt gym. This time, though, Hank was sleeping inside, and Karl Cross killed him.
After the 'loss' of his wife and foster father within a week of each other, John lost it again and disappeared for several months before showing back up in the WGWF.
After a successful run in the WGWF, John Cable was sidelined after a near-fatal car accident and had not been heard from in nearly 3 years, until his return to the ring in the PCW.
During his time with the PCW with Sebastian St. Paul as his Tag Team Partner, the New Breed was named Tag Team of the Year and had a great run as Tag Champs. After two years in the PCW, the fed closed the Tag Team Division, and the New Breed went back to the WGWF.
In his most recent stint in the WGWF, John had successful runs with several titles, including the Tag Team Titles, the Intercontinental Title, and a strong run on the World Heavyweight Title, which he won, but was taken from him merely minutes after the match.
