Entrance Theme - “God In Extension” by Jack Daw

Custom Ring Entrance - “I wanna be… a messiah… a king… a God in extension!”

The words blare over the PA system before the opening riffs of “God in Extension” by Jack Daw kick in. Smoke billows out from the side of the entrance ramp as the lights dim before Shane Donovan steps onto the entrance ramp. He is clad in black tights with “MANMADEMONSTER” written down his left leg and “SOCIETY” written down the right, with a heavy knee brace over his tights on that leg as well as a denim coat lined with leather, a hood over his head.

His back is to the crowd as the song continues, his arms raising before he turns to face the audience. He then points towards the ring, mouthing along with the lyrics for a moment before lowering his arms and starting his approach.

Shane makes his way down the ramp, taunting fans as he reaches the bottom, circling around the outside until he comes to the ring steps. He ascends them, stepping between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring proper. Once inside, he climbs to the top turnbuckle of the nearest corner, yelling out to the crowd, dropping down with a smirk once he’s satisfied by the level of boos he receives. He then removes his jacket, handing it off to a ringside worker before he turns his focus to the center of the ring to prepare for his match to begin.

Why is your character a wrestler - For better or worse (usually worse), wrestling has always been what Shane’s wanted to do with his life. He was a prodigy at it, taking to the ring at an early age and making a name for himself early on in the Indy scene before starting in his first major promotion as a tag team wrestler. That quickly fell apart, and a string of bad luck and poor timing left the man jaded and hostile to the business. This led to him joining forces with like-minded individuals to form the stable of Society, a banner Shane has carried to this day. Now twenty years into his career, the angry young man is now a grizzled malcontent seeking to use his philosophy of the business to inspire the next generation… whether they want it or not.

Wrestling Style/Resemblance - Shane’s style is what he refers to as “smash mouth”, focused heavily on aggression to the point of recklessness. In his younger days he was an accomplished technical wrestler who mixed in some high flying, but years of wear and tear have largely grounded him, shifting his focus more towards strikes, suplexes, and slams. He focuses on the shoulders and neck with holds and attacks to wear opponents down for his finishers, but he’s also a “safe” worker, so no King’s Road style crazy head drops. He’s also not above the cheap win, more than happy to incapacitate an opponent at ringside and accept a count out win, or grab the tights for a rollup, or tricking a ref into a DQ.
