RING ENTRANCE
Entrance Description (250 words max): Air Raid Sirens begin their screams of warning as we are plunged into darkness. A red spotlight cuts through the dark and lights up the curtain to the back. Suddenly Holden explodes through it, striding across the stage.
Announcer: And now making his way to the ring; he stands six feet, five inches tall and weighs in at three hundred and seven pounds! He hails from San Luis Obispo, California by way of Vero Beach, Florida. He is the “Bastard,” Holden Rrrrrrossss!
Red floodlights illuminate the arena as Holden strides down the ramp. He stops at the ring and without much hesitation, leaps onto the apron in a single bound. He slips in between the ropes and stops in the middle of the ring, facing the hard camera side. Using his left hand, he removes his mask and roars while thrusting his right fidt into the air
STYLE
Wrestler Style: UltraViolent brawler (knows technical and power wrestling as well)
Finisher & Description: “H-Bomb:” Gonzo Bomb
Desperation Finisher & Description: Nord Toss (lifts opponent for a back drop or atomic drop and tosses them over the top rope where they land on their back on the floor)
STORY
Biography (500 word max): Born in SLO in '93, Holden was named after "Holden Caulfield" of "Catcher in the Rye" fame, a favorite book, and character, of his mother's. She was just nineteen when she gave birth to him, and raised him with help from her parents, on her own. His Father was only fourteen, nearly fifteen, when his parents had a week long fling over the summer in '93 at Lake Tahoe.
His Father grew up to become N.L.C.W. Hall of Famer, the "Monster" Frank Merritt. Frank was completely unaware of his son until eight years ago. He never saw his boy crush offensive lines as a standout defensive lineman during his high school career. Wasn't there to watch his boy blow his left knee out either when an opposing center chopped his legs out from behind. Didn't get to watch him box from his teens until he moved to New Mexico for college. Holden and his Father met eight years ago after his mother revealed to him whom he was. Frank proudly took him under his wing, setting him up with Greg Jackson to train in MMA while attending college in New Mexico. Upon graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in botany as well as an associate's in Business Management, he began training in the squared circle under the watchful eye of his Father and fellow N.L.C.W. Hall of Famer, Ethan Andrews. He cut his teeth in the now defunct "Pure Class Wrestling" where he dominated the Underground division, their "Hardcore" division.
Holden is a true Bastard, having grown up Fatherless, and carries that chip on his shoulder even today. Now, he is looking to leave his mark on this sport, like his Father before him. He has apparently decided to do so by being the most UltraViolent, brutal man to ever set foot in a ring.
