I was thinking the other day how cool it would be to be a wrestler, I was wondering for everyone here if you were a wrestler what would your wrestling style be, your gear, your theme, would you be heel/face/tweener? Me I would love to be a smug cocky heel, I would wear blue/black tights with blue/black boots/kneepads and I would be a technical wrestler with cool strikes and could fly also.

Comedy jobber. I would wear a neon orange speedo over black tights, though I would wear a flesh colored body stocking with neon pink speedo attachment for big matches.

I'd be like Sunny, but less sluttier and with a submission background.

Generally, something like Mike Quackenbush.
An uber-technical babyface with a quirky sense of humor, and penchant for changing ring gear often, and busting out extra-elaborate outfits for big matches.
And as a theme song, it would most likely be some j-pop trance thing like Naomichi Marufuji. Or, "Great Disasters" by It Bites, keeping with the Quack theme, using a song by a British band that was popular in the 80s.

I trained briefly to be a wrestler years ago. My dad was a jobber in the Memphis promotion in the 60's and 70's so I followed it closely, knew everybody, and was "smart" in the wrestling sense, so they didn't have to worry about me exposing the business. I was a senior in high school when I started working(over my dad's objections) with Tojo Yamamoto and Jerry Jarrett. I had played high school (and subsequently college) football, but never hurt so bad as I did that week. My ass was on fire every day. I was big (for the time) and thought I'd be a monster heel,
I think about what might have been every once in a while, but on the whole don't regret it. Very tough business to make a living and I had no idea how it was all about to change with the rise of Hulkamania.

Generic 80's jobber. out of shape, pasty skinned, no tone, no muscle mass, generic blue or black singlet, no kneepads, no elbow pads, no tape, worn out black boots, mustache and/or mullet, no hometown, forgettable name.

Pint-sized powerhouse/brawler/submission expert (I'm 5' 9") with black jeans and work boots and a black a-shirt that goes flying into the crowd whenever I get REALLY fired up.
And my theme song would be "Runaway" by Hail The Villain.

Style wise, I wanna work a style similar to Davey Richards, but with better psychology and story telling.
Character wise, I think I'm gonna try to do something along the lines of a male version of Ms. Chif, with the black metal aesthetic and whatnot.
At least, that's what I see myself doing once I start working
Also, in a double reference, my finisher would be some type of submission named The Grim Lock.

I'd be a heel type technical wrestler with a god-complex. I'd see myself as a savior for true pro wrestling. As for my style, plenty of counters with a lot of elaborate pins and submissions to make my opponent look stupid. I'd be extremely condescending and look down upon what I view is 'garbage wrestling' in hopes of trying to bring back an appropriate form of wrestling in my mind. High-flying wrestling, hardcore wrestling, and wannabe puroresu that indy guys try to do would be ridiculed, and anyone that tries to outwrestle me would learn how it's done by the best. Buuuut... I'd still cheat to win.
As for my gear of choice, the classic black trunks with gold trim around the waist with a gold star on the front of the trunks, gold kneepads and elbow pads, and black and gold boots. I'd come out wearing a robe with a towel draped around my shoulder.
Seeing how I'd view myself as a savior-type wrestler, I'd probably come out to something retarded like 'The Lord's Prayer' by E Nomine (the english version).

As a teen/young adult, I had a few jobs where I was making deliveries (auto parts/pizza). The drives, especially the long ones to the auto parts warehouse, gave me alot of time to think, and being a wrestling fan, sometimes I thought of how I would be as a wrestler. At the time I was 6 foot tall , 190ish lbs, and in decent enough shape.
This is what I came up with (pre or right at the beginning of the attitude era):
Character: The Stranger - A dark, masked wrestler who played mind games. Maybe a bit of a creepy vibe thrown in, but more Boogyman creepy than, say Goldust creepy (not as outlandish as Boogy though).
Attire: Dark mask with scary/creepy designs on them. Singlet with either tights or leather/pleather pants. Same deal as the mask when it comes to designs. Accenting colors would mainly be red, white and green, but could change.
Style: With that character, it would be hard to be much more than a brawler. I would call what I was thinking of as more high impact than brawling though.
Finisher: The Bump in the Night - A reverse DDT with a leg grapevine. Think of it as a combination Scorpion Death Drop/Russian Leg Sweep.
Music: Master of Puppets by Metallica
Maybe that's a bit indy-riffic, but that's what I came up with back then.

Post by Andrew is Good on Dec 29, 2011 23:57:09 GMT -5
Well, I'm starting wrestling training in 6 days, but there are a few adjustments to be made.
I figured out a name. It will involve Andrew, and there actually aren't many Andrews in wrestling. There have been Team Andrew from CZW and more famously, Drew McIntyre, but yeah, longish hair, I gotta lose fat and going to Calgary and simply focusing on working out and getting in shape should help with that.
Here's my problem though. I'm not a fan of the spray tan, or like regular tanning. I want like, John Cena's skin colour. Something that's not pale like Sheamus, but not ridiculous tanned that I'm orange, like Evan Bourne that one time before his wellness violation. I'd do a spray tan, but like, are there different colours of spray tan? Also, invest in some nair, but yeah, gotta look like an athlete.
My mom has a fur coat that I want to cut the arms out of and use that as a ring jacket. I also have a pair of red glasses which I'd like to wear. I'm considering getting more different coloured glasses and have them match with my gear. Long tights, not the pleather ones, just regular long tights with a design I'm looking into. Wrestling boots, top of the line, $300 ones online, spared no expense. I don't want to look like some indy guy who just showed up. I would be billed from Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia. Not Halifax. Not Toronto. Not Fort McMurray. And not Calgary. I like the obscure hometowns that some people have sometimes.
Theme song choices. So far I have: Come Out and Play by Offspring I can't wait by The Vandles Under Blackened Skys by Fozzy Mega Man 3 - Snake Man's theme, some version of that.
I'm thinking of my finish as the Raven Effect, like, exactly how Raven does his DDT. It's kind of a rip off, but I'd like a promo style similar to Raven, somewhat intellectual anyway, but of course, go off in a bit of a different direction. As for style, I want to look into the World of Sport style, but twist it like, I want my style to be a style that draws money.
I'm also considering a jobber character. Dressed in all black, a parody of the Goldust character. His name would be Cokedust. That's the stuff that is used to help make oil, or it's like, the waste of making oil. It's at Suncor base plant, so I would be billed from Suncor Plant 52 near Fort McMurray, Alberta. I think it would get over in Alberta.

Honestly I would love to be a jobber....I would other be a heel who was asking to get a pinned by how I acted or tweener who was delusional and actually thought all my losses were still in a way wins since they would lead me to better things.
I would wear probably what the Headbangers or Balls Mahoney wore basically band shirts with wrestling pants or camo pants and wrestling boots(I know this might sound kind of indy but I always pictured this)
My finisher would more or less be the Taz mission or Tommy Dreamer's DDT
My music would be other Paranoid by Black Sabbath or Scream by The Misfits.

Thats cool I have been recently thinking about getting trained to be a wrestler i am 23 now I wonder is that a little to late to start training Dude, I started when I was 25. I knew it was now or never. Before that I was always worried that I would never find a school and that it would be too late. 23 is definetely not too old. We've had someone who started training earlier this year at 42. He would've made it on shows too if he didn't break his ankle a month or so before his debut.

Whatever I did well in training and my first matches would dictate that. I would not be motivated to do aerial stuff and I am not big enough to be a power guy. So I'm looking generic technical guy.

Dirty tricks, chameleon-type ability, big-mouthed Southern heel. Teams with anybody, trusts nobody. Not afraid to throw fire. Upper-card heel.
Now that I think about it, except for my finishing move (The Death Knell, which is the somersault senton off the top rope, popularized by Public Enemy's Rocco Rock), my character is a lot like Jerry Lawler.
Except my character is dressed like Mega-Man. I'd be able to walk around town because I wear a mask in the ring.

Terrible backyard wrestler called J-Dawg.
My finishing move would be hitting somebody with a cricket bat for no discernible reason.
