[The opening guitar riff of The Gaslight Anthem's "I Could'a Been a Contender" gets the fans on their feet as Nathan Turner steps out onto the entrance area. He pauses at the top of the entrance ramp, looks around taking it all in. He points to the crowd before running down the entrance area to the ring. Once at the ring, Nathan doesn't stop, instead he slides underneath the bottom rope and into the ring. He rises to one knee, bows his head for a moment, then crosses himself and makes his way to the corner.]
As Champion Entrance Description:
♫
I'M BROKE AND I'M HUNGRY
I'M HARD UP AND I'M LONELY

I COULD NEVER STOP THE RAIN
♫
[The opening guitar riff of The Gaslight Anthem's "I Could'a Been a Contender" gets the fans on their feet as Nathan Turner steps out onto the entrance area, the belt around his waist. He takes a moment to take it everything, knowing this is what he's worked his entire life for. He takes the belt off, walking down the entrance ramp and high-fiving and letting the fans touch the belt. He makes his way up the stairs, pauses at the top, holds the belt in the area, and then finally ducks underneath the bottom rope. He drops to one knee, belt pressed to his head as he prays, rises, and crosses himself. He hands the belt to the referee and prepares for the match.]
Coup de Grâce Entrance Description: [This is a unique, over-the-top entrance for our season finale PPV.]

[Use either the normal entrance or the Championship entrance. Nathan isn't someone who is braggadocious, so a unique entrance isn't something that he would go for.]
Finisher (Description): "The Killing Floor" (Half Nelson Armbar/Batista Bite)
Set-up [Optional] (Description): "The Curtain Call" (Release Fisherman Suplex)
Alternate Finisher [Optional] (Description): "Dreams of a Better Future" (INCREDIBLY RARE) (Okuri eri Jime)
Strengths:
1. Technically Sound
2. Grizzled
3. Endurance of a Bull
Weaknesses:
1. No Speed to Speak Of
2. Lifelong Battles, Even Outside of the Ring
3. The Wrestling World has Passed Him By
Favorite Match Stipulation: "I Quit Match" - Nathan has more will, and more endurance, than most rosters combined. Being put in a situation where he can "outlive", as it were, his opponent allows him to use that endurance to his advantage.
Favorite Weapon: None - Nathan tries to fight fair as often as possible.

Biography: The story of Nathan Turner is a unique one. Nathan began wrestling at the tender age of 17, being a lauded state wrestler in high school. Wrestling in the Boston area, then moving to the Tri-State/NYC area, Nathan became known as something of a technical specialist. The problem with that, however, is that professional wrestling began to move away from the perceiving "boringness" of technical wrestling towards the more "sports entertainment" versions of wrestling. Trying to fit in, Nathan switched his wrestling name to "Trent Nathan Turner", or, more colloquially, TNT. He began putting his body through hell, making a switch from technical to a hardcore/deathmatch type wrestler to appease to the wrestling fans. Shortly after, things fell apart for Nathan. Now, years later, Nathan is trying to pick up the pieces to put his dream in reach.
Years of Experience: A long, long time. But I've been out of the game for about four years now.

Willing to Help Write Matches?: Yeah, absolutely.
How Did You Hear About Us?: Twitter, scrolling through some of my old character's Twitter follows.
What Brought You to the Battleground?: I love the aesthetic, and the fact that the place is competitively driven, as opposed to entirely angled. I also enjoy the fact that the place isn't a micro-fed, which seems to be the trend lots of feds are following.
