Wrestler's Name - Graham Clauson
Height - 6'2"
Weight - 212 lbs.
Entrance Theme - "EARFQUAKE" by Galleons (feat. Sam Arrag) []
Custom Ring Entrance - The lights in the arena suddenly cut out throughout the arena. About a second later, the intro to "EARFQUAKE" by Galleons begins to play. A few seconds in, tied to a specific two notes about seven seconds in, a strobe effect illuminates the stage, revealing someone standing in the middle of the entrance portion of the stage. As the drumline picks up, a orange-tinted spotlight shines down to reveal Graham Clauson standing but looking away from the ring, pointing towards it with his hand shaped to mimic a pistol.
As the beat of the song kicks in, Graham’s arm pulls up swiftly, causing a bright flash of light at the stage before the lighting within the arena returns to normal. Slowly allowing his arm to return down to his side, Graham looks out towards the crowd for a moment before motioning for the camera to be brought closer by curling his index finger to beckon them closer.
ANNOUNCER: From Cincinnati, Ohio, he is the one and only Notorious 5-1-3... Graham Clauson!
The camera, now closer to Graham, exclaiming "I still got plenty of ammo left, LET'S GO!" before blowing past the camera with a quick step forward, beginning his trek down towards the ring.
Shortly before making it to ringside, Graham bursts into a sprint before jumping upwards, swinging his legs upwards and letting momentum slide him under the bottom ropes. Shortly after stopping, Graham gets up to one knee and looks and points above him. Still looking up, he begins to step towards the ropes closest to the hard camera and brings the arm he raised down, bending down and bringing his body between the top and middle rope on the apron's end with his arms extended. Shortly after, he bends forward and is fully in the ring, stepping towards his corner.
Gender - Male
Hometown - Cincinnati, OH, USA
Why is your character a wrestler - Born into the business; a veteran second-generation performer who (after 10+ years) feels he still has much more to achieve.
Wrestling Style/Resemblence - Daredevil, Strong-Style, Lucha, British "World of Sports'' and American Sports Entertainment elements fuse together to create a unique, Junior Heavyweight showcase style that can fly or stay on the mat. However, after many years of taking flight, he’s found himself being slightly more technical and less flashy.
