Wrestler Personality:
|
Gordon truly believes he is making his career based on being the kind of guy who is cleaning up wrestling. He wants to rid the wrestling world of those people who are think the flash should come before substance. he is a wrestling manand doesn't truly believe that angles should be run. He wants wrestling to revert back to the age old sports contest format rather than the entertainment one we have today. Although his is the minority view, he is somewhat popular with internet reporters, but highly hated amonst the younger crowd of viewers. Either way, Gordon doesn't care what anyone thinks because he is on a mission.

Appearance and Ring Attire:

He has a scruffy appearance with a "five O'clock shadow" look. He is slightly tanned and he wears a blue set of tights while wrestling. He is a decent looking guy, but is brown hair and brown eyes are not emphasized by his attire. When he first enters he is wearing a black suit jacket over his attire as if he is here to do business (though many mock because he looks like a wannabe chippendale). Not very cocky, just always has a lok of determination.

1) Technical 2) Toughness 3) Strength |
|
Weaknesses:
|
1) Overconfidence. Truly believes he is the man to "clean up wrestling". This attitude normally leads him to take matches he can't really handle. 2) Fan Problems. He can't understand why sometimes fans boo him when all he wants to do is make this sport worthwhile again...even if accomplishing this goal means taking down a few fan favorites as well. 3) Risk taker. He tends to try and do a little too much to win a match and this sometimes causes him to get caught in many precarious positions. |

Character Profile:
|
Gordon Gaines has wanted to be a professional wrestler all of his life. When he was young he watched the days of the "Attitude Era" and always aspired to one day rub elbows with the true superstars of the business. As he grew up, he took an interest in football, amatuer wrestling, and other high school sports. He was quite athletic and enjoyed great success in all levels of high school sports. Once out of high school, Gordon went to college at a small Junior College in Minnesota. He participated on their wrestling squad, which had meets against many top division I programs in Minnesota. Once out of college, he managed to catch on with a training group in Minnesota. The problem was Gordon was mistreated and taken advantage of. He wasn't properly trained or prepared in how to perform as a pro wrestler and he was hurt many times over the first year. Gordon wanted to break away and go somewhere else for training, but he had signed a contract that he would work for one year within this league as payment for the training he was supposed to receive. Upon the end of that contract, he tried to land several jobs withother independant wrestling groups, but was unsuccessful. Finally he caught on with a small group out of Pittsburgh called End Zone Wrestling. Once he was hired, he performed matches for the staff and needless to say underwhelmed them with his ability inside the ring. However they loved the way he looked and a trainer in the city, Jessee Williams decided to make him a project. Over the next few months, he trained and worked with Gordon and helped him develope into a decent in-ring talent. Williams also helped him develop a persona Gordon wanted to perform as his gimmick. Gordon had the look of someone who could potentially just make you angry with his attitude, especially when he would argue with other trainees about how they performed in practice sessions. Williams tapped into that, even made him watch videos of former wrestlers who used that to his advantage and said that the best way to get over is to first agitate the fans with knowledge - to tell them what is good. That began the work on the "Good" gimmick Gaines has now adopted to his character. Gaines was one of the first wrestlers suggested to the new upstart UPW within the arangement made with Williams' training school. UPW signed him as a staff wrestler with the promise that if he increased his ability and managed to gain traction with the fans, he might even work his way into a push some day. Can he make it? We shall see as UPW gets rolling. |
