Cross armbar CHARACTER INFORMATION GIMMICK: JS2 is a jaded former superstar, returning to the ring to exorcise the shadows of his past. While he claims to crave forgiveness for his misdeeds, his real obsession is with making the wrestling industry pay for its treatment of him. He is a condescending heel, quick to point out others' hypocrisy without awareness of his own. He will meticulously locate and attack mental and emotional weaknesses in his opponent, both verbally and in the ring, in an attempt to "make them seek forgiveness". His treatment of opponents is a mere proxy for his grudge against the sport itself. CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY: JS2 broke in to the professional wrestling industry at a young age, rising through the ranks of a major promotion's developmental system and debuting on national television at the age of nineteen. While not especially talented in-ring, the young competitor possessed a flair on the microphone and was touted as a future star. A stint as a journeyman followed, as JS2 spent his early twenties wrestling for dozens of promotions at a time. During this period, he covered his still-developing in-ring skills with a deathmatch style, which propelled him to the global stage and major promotions beckoned once more. From there, ego was his undoing. A delusional sense of his own talent and a knack for making enemies backstage led the young wannabe to be bullied, humiliated and almost blacklisted. Self-destructive behaviour beckoned and major championship opportunities were squandered as the competitor's ego - once his greatest talent - was slowly destroyed. JS2 never formally retired, instead taking bookings with independents in his native England before moving to New York City to pursue contracted competition once bookings dried up. In a flash, he found himself isolated in the city, having gone nearly a decade without competing at a high level. Injuries, a bad reputation and a pandemic prevented the once internationally-known star from either wrestling or leaving the USA. Finally returning to Manchester and on the verge of retiring for good, JS2 suddenly found himself a washed-up veteran at only 35 years old, and with a burning obsession to right the wrongs of his career. This mission is one he cannot bring himself to leave behind - and chances are, he will make it everybody else's problem. ENTRANCE (OPTIONAL): Describe how your character makes their way to the ring. Feel free to include a championship entrance as well! [To be added] ACCOMPLISHMENTS JS2 has been number one contender to some of wrestling's biggest prizes, but was inevitably thwarted - by himself or one of myriad enemies - in his attempts to secure world championship gold. Nevertheless, he has been a midcard champion in almost every promotion he has competed in.
