GIMMICK

Originally just a kid from Hollywood, Michael Hayden has quickly established himself as a man to be watched in the FAWA. After a seven-week reign as Television Champ (the longest reigning TV Champ to date), Hayden became a man with a chip on his shoulder, taking offense with Jonathan Michaels. After co-winning the BattleBowl with hated rival Jonathan Michaels, both men would go onto the main event of Gookermania against then-champion Ryan Blood. Though Hayden put a valiant effort, Michaels would walk out champ. After securing a spot in the Four Man Chamber of Horrors match, Hayden would make it to the final two before once again being bested by Michaels.

Hayden developed a harder edge about him, being booed by a section of fans for his anger towards Jono. Still believing himself right, Hayden focused his efforts on becoming the Ultimate Survivor, making it to the final two before losing to Seth Drakin. Not to be deterred, Hayden would go on to enter the Lord of the Ring tournament, defeating Jason Flynn, Antihero, and Connor Mackenzie to claim the crown. By virtue of his victory, Hayden earned a shot at Gus Richlen for the FAWA Title.

Around this time, both Hayden and Aaron Enigma developed a rivalry with Gus Richlen. Believing that Enigma was robbed of his title, Hayden would stick up for his friend as well as counteract the presence of Marshall Wesley Coventry. With a friendship formed, the two decided to team up and take the FAWA Tag Team Titles from Richlen and Coventry, dubbing themselves "The Hollywood Engimas".

Things began to pick up at Comic Book Chaos, as Hayden would defeat Gus Richlen to finally claim the FAWA Heavyweight Title. Hayden would go on to face Gus Richlen and, by virtue of a loss on Niteraw, Seth Drakin in a triple threat "I Respect You" match at Wheel of Misfortune. Also on the card, The Hollywood Enigmas would take on Seth Drakin and MiscreAnt for the vacant FAWA Tag Team Titles. The night would not go well for Hayden, losing the tag team match as well as his Heavyweight Title.

Not to be deterred, Hayden would continue on, competing in the Money In The Bank or Botch match at Summerfest. Hayden would capture one of the briefcases, only to receive a pink slip. As fate would have it, Connor Mackenzie would intervene on Hayden's (as well as other pink slip recipient The Dream) behalf, vacating the FAN-Forums Title and persuading Disturbance!BRB to keep both men on the payroll, enrolling them in a tournament for the title. Hayden would defeat The Dream in a qualifier, taking on FAN-Forums Champion William Anderson at Summerfest in a losing effort. Hayden would rebound with a victory over TMK at Gookermania, claiming the Television Title for a third time.

APPEARANCE



ENTRANCE
The arena flashes blue and white as the opening sounds of "Gimmie Shelter" ring out. As the lyrics kick in, Michael Hayden emerges, his head turned to the side as he looks over the captive crowd. He makes his way to the ring typically focusing more on the audience than the opponent. As he gets to the ring, Hayden slides into the ring before going to the nearest turnbuckle, hands outstretched as he tilts his head back. After a few seconds, Hayden lowers his arms and looks out into the crowd before hopping off. Hayden then sits cross-legged, either looking at the opponent or the entrance ramp if the opponent has not come out yet.

[glow=red,2,300]Gimmick[/glow]Troy is obsessed with Glam Rock. Everything from the music to the glitter to the sex filled performances. Troy is self centered and considers most of the FAWA "heathens" below him and doesn't take most of them seriously. But Troy loves to give a good show and show off to hear the fans roar in approval. However he can be serious if it's something he thinks is important. Troy mostly plays by the rules but isn't above cheating if he doesn't see another way out of it. He is over protective of his girlfriend Mercedes, who is the 2nd most important thing in the world to him (after himself) and tries to make sure nothing happens to her sometimes making her stay back stage for important matches to make sure she's safe.

Mercedes on the other hand is less flashy. Possibly mute she lets her actions speak for her. She rarely shows any emotions except around Troy. Mercedes has experience working for various Indy promotions. She trained with various wrestlers to hone her wrestling ability. like El Verdi Pollo and Tres Mal. She takes great pride in skills. In the ring Mercedes is cruel, ruthless, and sadistic. She only cares about winning and hurting her opponent occasionally cracking a smile at their pain.

[glow=red,2,300]Appearance[/glow]
Troy is a above average lanky young man. Troy has jet black hair that he always has comed back. He wears a blue suit, a scarf (that he takes off before he enters the ring), eye liner around his eyes, black dress shoes, and is covered with glitter on his face.

Mercedes is slightly muscular. She wears her brown hait all the way down to her back. Mercedes usually wears a dress if she is accompanying Troy. When she competes however, she wears a dark black singlet with a thin lime green lime across the waist and gray boots.

Troy (Solo)

*Troy appears on the ramp, looking about before doing a hip thrust. As he does, pyro goes off in unison and a pyro goes off and his music starts. Troy then walks down the ring humming and snapping his fingers to the music before looking at the ring before climbing onto the apron.*

(Mercedes Solo)

*The music starts and Mercedes comes out. She ties her boots and makes her way to the ring with keeping eyes on her fellow combatant until she finally enters the ring*

Troy is mainly a grappler with shades of a high flyer.

Greed is Good- Colt 45(Double Underhook Canadian Backbreaker)

GIMMICK:
Scott Martin is, essentially, a talented young man who has an immense superiority complex and flies into a rage whenever he feels like somebody is underestimating him. His feud with Antihero and team with The Dream have mellowed him out and taught him a thing or two about respect. Still confident as ever, but not as overtly bad as before, his (ongoing?) feud with the Cult of the End has put him on the side of good, for the time being.

APPEARANCE:
A slight, Caucasian man. Shaggy black hair with blue eyes.

In the ring, he wears black tights. On the tights are a "Hi! My Name Is* logo with his name written in green. Also wears white gloves.

On his way to the ring, he wears a green hooded vest (think the one Cody Rhodes wears).

ENTRANCE:
Black and green lights flash through the arena. As the song begins, Martin heads out onto the stage, hood drawn. How he interacts with fans is up to the writer. Once he gets in the ring, he hops onto a turnbuckle and either raises his title (if he has one) or an arm to the crowd. He then jumps back down and waits for his opponent.

ENTRANCE THEME:
"Tighten Up" by Hoodie Allen

FEUD ENDER
5150: Gorilla Press dropped into a Diamond Cutter

FOR FANS OF TVTROPES:
Debut/Heel Run:
Arch-Enemy-Antihero, of course.
Awesome Ego- And that might be an understatement.
Dark Horse Victory-With the competition in the Money in the Bank or Botch, him winning one of the cases (by making The General of Wrestling bleed, no less) was definitely unexpected.
Dude, Where's My Respect?- A big component of his early character, what with openly challenging Antihero and Aaron Enigma.
Hidden Depths- Took Antihero to his absolute limit in a Best of Seven and later won a briefcase in the First Blood Money in the Bank or Botch Match at SummerFest over several more experienced opponents.
Jack of All Stats
Not in the Face!-The goggles he wore seemed to imply this. Exploited by Antihero in the final match in their Best of Seven.
Small Name, Big Ego
The Dream Team/Face Turn:
Crazy Awesome- Supplied in equal measures by both members of The Dream Team.
Star-Making Role- Two reigns as Tag Team Champions and counting.
Straight Man- To The Dream.
Took A Level In Kindness
Worthy Opponent- One of the first hints of his turn was him seeing Antihero as this.

GIMMICK
Bounced onto the scene as one half of little-known London-based BCW tag-team 'Team Owl'; their gimmick being that they were "smart, real smart - and can, like, look all around". Although publicly he broke kayfabe to repeatedly say how much he hated the gimmick, "it's a stoopid ****in gimmick, thassall", friends in the business recall it was all his idea from the beginning. The split led into a memorable fued with partner 'Saxxy Boy Steve Sachs' culminating in a brutal, mind-numbing four hour 'last man standing' bout in front of bemused shoppers in an Asda car park. Since going solo he became a regular on the indie scene, popping up in Japan before embarking on a regular programme with Larry 'The Fist' Liszt in Poland, who became his mentor. Upon graduating from his 'School of Charred Blocks' (Poland's equivalent of the Hart Dungeon, literally a burnt-out shed) Larry gave The Dream license to use his finisher, 'The Icebreaker', but he didn't cos it was basically an illegal chop to the nuts accompanied by the cry ‘Ole!’, so now he uses one he nicked off someone else. During a foray into Central America (where, he still maintains, he was trying to bring down a drug cartel) he picked up some new moves and ended up dominating a programme of shoot and submission matches, earning the respect of fearsome masked luchador faction The Nicaraguan Death Squad. Coming to America, he has embraced The American Dream, as he thinks it makes him more endearing to the fans.

Coming into FAWA, he's held the Television Title, as well as being one-half of the current FAWA Tag Team Champions with Scott Martin as The Dream Team! For roughly five minutes, Dream was fired by the company (GASP!), but thanks to Connor Mackenzie, he was quickly rehired. So, thanks buddy.

Backstage he's regarded as a bit off-beat, a little bizarre but generally well liked in the locker room especially as he takes the industry seriously and always looks to get the best match out of his opponent. Remarkably frank about the dangers of steroid abuse; "especially if you just take them and don't even go down the gym". Has a tendency to really put on a technical match, but no one knows if it's on purpose or by pure luck.

APPEARANCE
Wears a mask that really resembles Curry Man's mask, minus the plate of curry on the top. Bare chested, big black tattoo weaving over shoulders/upper back. ‘El Sueno’ tattooed on breastplate in italic. Baggy black cargos, right elbow & knee pads, black & white pair of hi-top Vans.

ENTRANCE


Blackout and pause for 5 seconds. Then a miserably small firework squawks and the music hits for a second, then stops, then the house lights come up.



The music hits again and The Dream stumbles out, the lights fail as he does a Goldberg style ‘wild kick’, falls over. Recovers composure, white lights flood the ramp as he hits The Dream Strut to the ring, acknowledging the crowd who are going just crazy. As he gets to ringside, Dream hands out several small American flags to the audience, making sure to hand a majority to small children before entering the ring, strutting once more.

ENTRANCE THEME
"Livin' In America" - James Brown

SUPER SPECIAL NOTE!

In PPV matches, Dream will come out exactly like this. Yes, including the top hat and vest. Just, you know, minus James Brown. RIP big guy.

WRESTLING STYLE
Canny, cocky ring technician always one step ahead in the battle of wits, a gentleman with sudden bursts of surprising violence ala Regal, main attribute: luck. At least that’s how it first appears, but he’s so lucky could he actually be fiendishly clever? Or that he throws a lot of chairs in peoples faces? Probably the latter, though it should also be mentioned he has discreet connections with his old heel-faction the Nicaraguan Death Squad. He also bleeds a lot and loves to innovate and sell crazy moves with his opponents, being just as happy crashing through piles of tables as he his putting his opponents through them.

*Sidewinder suplex
* T-bone suplex
* Full nelson suplex
* Wristlock
* Moonsault
* Regal-style barrage of punches from all angles
* Spinning Elbow
* Short arm clothesline
* Taz style forearm smashes
* Reverse DDT/Standing Moonsault combo
* Likes to stomp on fingers/knuckles when opponent on mat

SIGNATURE MOVES
* 'Nicaraguan Kick' (Yakuza kick)
* 'Nicaraguan Suplex' - Regal-Plex
* 'Partial Devastation' (Running double-knee drop into opponent hung on turnbuckles)
* Hit from the Bong - dumbass fan favorite move, a knockout double-fist to the forehead. May miss and break opponent's nose (he says it's an accident, but who knows). It's a 50-50 shot.

For The Writers
* The 'Stuporman' - comically and obliviously ducking moves in a drunken fashion, ala 80s British joker-grappler Les Kellet (look him up)
* Although not a 'move', Dream has a signature skit whereby, everytime he goes for a pin but only gets a one-count, he protests to the ref that it really was a 'two'. It's funny!
* Again, not a wrestling move but a signature Dream skit - "Calling The Replays". When Dream does a signature move, he likes to halt the action, point to the big screen and then to the commentary booth and exclaim, "I don't know about you, but I wanna see that again!" and they roll the replay on the big screen. Sometimes the opponent gets up but is halted and forced to watch the replay on the big screen before the match continues.
* Here's that $20 I owe you" - When the ref and the opponent begin to argue (maybe a nearfall or something), Dream will stumble up behind and hit a signature move. Then, in full view of the opponent, Dream pulls out a $20 amd hands it to the ref, saying "Here's that $20 I owe you". Known to confuse the ref and anger the opponent.

Finisher #1
Dream Street (Joker Driver)

Finisher #2
Eat The Mat - opponent face down, Dream standing grabs opponent's legs into a leg lock and steps over, tapping the opponent's head with his foot - the signal to tap out or else get your face stomped straight into the mat. As yet it's just a submission move, Lord knows what'll happen if they don't tap. (ala Bite The Kerb from American History X)
