Post by "C.T." Conor Tate on Dec 17, 2017 14:22:42 GMT -5
Other Aliases: The Southie Savage
Representing: I fight for myself, boys.
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 225 lbs.
Billed Hometown: Boston, Massachussetts
Date of Birth: 6 , July, 1988 (29 years old)
Professional Debut Date: ... I'm not sure I can talk about that right now.
Past Injuries & Surgeries: I've been through the grind but nothing too serious. I had a concussion or two, I've got a shoulder and a knee that get gimpy once in a while, but don't worry... I'm ready to smash someone.
Disposition: Chaotic Neutral
Gimmick: Gruff, blunt, surly, aggressive... lots of words that pretty much mean people think I'm an asshole, and that they don't like when I call them out on dumb things. Oh, and I've got that Boston drawl which a lot of guys hate, but their girls love... if you catch my drift. I don't back down (verbally or otherwise), I don't like being told what to do, and I don't give a damn if you like me. I made all my friends in the neighborhood when I was in the second grade, I don't need any more. That's who I am "in a few sentences", hope it works for ya. Sorry I don't have some goofy ass gimmick like dressing up like a superhero. Oh, and mannerisms? I don't know, I crack my knuckles...

Theme Song: "Shippin' Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys
Entrance Description:
♫
"SHIPPIN UP TO BOSTON" BY THE DROPKICK MURPHYS BEGINS TO PLAY
♫
[As the instrumental blasts through the arena the lights dim, and several small spotlights come together on the stage forming a pool of silver light. A small explosion of silver sparks shoots up from the floor to the delight of the fans, and "C.T." Conor Tate steps through the curtain into the lights as the smoke lingers around him in the air. He doesn't smile or pose. His jaw is clenched, and his eyes blazing with intensity as he stares at the ring. He cranks his neck from side to side and rolls his shoulders as he bounces from foot to foot in anticipation before breaking for the ring in an all out sprint. The fans cheer as he bursts down the ramp to ringside and slides underneath the bottom rope and into the ring, sliding a few feet on the canvas before rolling to his feet.
He makes his way to the turnbuckle, grabbing the ropes and pulling on them powerfully. Satisfied with their sturdiness, he uses them to stretch out and wait for the match to begin.]

Relationship: Childhood friend, confidant
Pic Base: Weston Bergmann
Gimmick: Level headed, analytical, a strategist, borderline manipulative. He is the yin to Conors yang, the brain to the brawn. He is one of the few people Conor trusts, and therefore one of the few people qualified to advise him.
Finisher (Description): Boston Strong (Spear)
Set-up [Optional] (Description): The Beantown Bomb (Spinebuster)
Strengths:
1. ATHLETICISM - He's not as big as some of the monster heavyweights, but he is surprisingly strong and can usually control people his own size that expected to be on even ground. He's also more agile than many expect him to be once they realize his power, and his reflexes and reaction time are enough to hold him above water with lighter weight opponents. His overall natural ability can keep him in a fight where he is technically outmatched.
2. HEART - He doesn't quit, and he won't back down or stop throwing anything he has left at you until he is literally incapable. He's not someone chasing a paycheck or a title belt, and he doesn't need to prove anything to anybody but himself. He is NOT willing to live with himself knowing that he could have tried harder and didn't.
3. RAGE - He's learning to wrestle at a high level, and will start most matches attempting to go toe to toe with his opponent to learn the craft and better himself. However, if he ends up being outclassed and taking some damage he will remember that he's just in a fight, switch gears, and turn the match into a true brawl. Once he's in this state, often angry or even embarrassed at being outwrestled, he can take incredible damage without slowing down and deal out unbelievable punishment in exchange to overwhelm the enemy.
Weaknesses:
1. TRAINING - He is not a polished fighter, he does not have a varied move set, and to be honest some people are questioning if he's ever actually wrestled before. He may have jumped into the deep end too early.
2. RING IQ - He will make rookie mistakes, he won't know how to use rope breaks or get around a referee to benefit himself, he may fall for a basic setup and wind up in a dangerous submission, who knows... he's a work in progress, but he'll learn quickly.
3. HOT HEADED - He will run his mouth to anyone, he will blindly walk into any fight swinging haymakers, and he has no regard for making the "logical" or "safe" decision once he's opened a can of worms. He can get himself in over his head, and he'll eventually be humbled and learn to control himself or be fed to the wolves before he ever develops to his full potential.
Favorite Match Stipulation: I don't give a damn, man. Just let me put my hands on somebody.
Favorite Weapon: These fuckin' mitts, son. I guess chairs are cool, too.

Union Battleground Championships: Ha, good one. You cats don't want me wearing your straps.
Union Battleground Valor Awards: What's a "valor award"? Like, a gold star? If so, I don't want one.
Other Notable Promotions: Uh, yeah, about that...
Other Notable Championships: I wouldn't necessarily say I've... uh... ever won one. Again, rookie... why are you guys interrogating me? Damn.
Other Notable Awards: I boned your mother, and your sister. How's that?
Biography: A blue collar guy from Boston that grew up tough and now lives tougher. He's done everything from construction to car sales to get by, but his temper and demeanor have made the road a bit bumpy and made it nearly impossible to find an enviornment he can thrive in. The kind of man born in the wrong century, who would have been entirely comfortable slamming a club into somebodies skull while plundering their village. His father died when he was 13, his mother has been in assisted living since he was 19 after several years of home care that Conor was forced to provide. Once a football prospect commited to Boston College before a fight in training camp saw him removed from the team. Has a close circle of friends that he grew up with in his neighborhood and very skeptical of anyone outside that circle. Recently turned to wrestling as an outlet and found some proficiency, though little is known about his activity or training over the past four months. I guess we'll see where he's at when he climbs into the ring here, won't we?
