Gimmick: Brash, thrill seeking and fun loving loose cannon. He's all about the fight when it comes to the sport, having serious Blood Knight personality traits. Lives for the heat of battle and worthy opponents. A curious note is that he primarily strikes with his left arm & hand during a match, due to his now renown right hand and the reason why one of his best friends gave him the nickname "One Punch Man". Joe Stanton's right hand has always delivered a knock-out blow that no one has kicked out of in his near fourteen years of being active. Hence why the battle hungry gentleman saves it till the end, ensuring a fight can last long enough for his liking and the fans get their money's worth.

[The thumping of the song and the darkening of the house lights cue the fans to put their hands together, clapping along with the tune as a blinding stage light creates a massive glare that blinds those in attendance and at home watching. When the stage light dims and some spotlights cast on the stage, Joe Stanton is there standing with his signature pair of sunglasses on. He looks out at the fans and he pumps his fist a few times in rhythm with the song before he heads for the ring and enters it quickly. Throwing his jacket to the side, Joe circles the ring pointing to the fans in attendance before he shadow boxes in his corner, waiting for the tune to end.]

When the stage light dims and some spotlights cast on the stage, Joe Stanton is there standing with his signature pair of sunglasses on and with his championship lifted high over his head.

[There is a sudden cut of the lights and the sound of an EXPLOSION as the stage light creates an intense glare, blinding everyone watching till it dims and yet the stage is still illuminated...by the fiery post-apocalyptic looking battlefield that the entrance stage's been turned into! Rubble and flames are scattered across it as Joe Stanton slowly makes out through the flames, taking off his sunglasses dramatically to look out at the fans in attendance. The Scarlet Speedster gives a stern nod before he hits the ring, rolling in and walking over to the center of the ring where he puts his sunglasses back on just in time to shield him from the glaring lights as they intensify.]

Biography: Joe Stanton's career started after being a long term fan of pro-wrestling, specifically NGIW. Once he graduated, he would spend the better part of a few years plying his trade in the mid-west in an attempt to pay his dues & get noticed. Occasionally getting gigs in Japan too. It would pay off eventually, the company he had loved watching on TV would sign him on during a talent initiative.
He spent almost three years in NGIW, competing at multiple levels within the roster's structure and divisions. Joe learned the hard way you don't try to rise to the top without making a few enemies, getting into some heated wars with veterans of the company & newer blood alike. That all came to an end when Stanton abruptly left the company and disappeared entirely from the professional wrestling scene. Numerous rumors had circulated since about his whereabouts and what he's been up to, from retiring in some small town to moving to the mountains to be a lumberjack to taking up underground cage fighting.
Joe Stanton would reemerge for the brief revival of NGIW, competing with a new outlook on pro-wrestling. His shift in behavior drew more than a few questions about the man and his mental health. But when the company's doors closed, Joe would disappear again and become the thing of speculation as to his whereabouts. Till he came to FIW, the sister promotion of NGIW that was on a global scale and he would spend a year there wrestling some of their very best in the process. In 2017 he'd wrangle the Fighting Spirit Championship from its champion and he would battle in the division, representing it twice and holding the championship for the majority of the year.
Years of Experience: Around 15.
