TAG TEAM NAME: The Crusaders COMBINED WEIGHT: 554 lbs ================== MEMBER #1 ================== Name: Bishop Height: 6'6" Weight: 291 lbs Age: ?? Hometown: Unknown Alignment (Heel, Face, Tweener): Heel Past Experience (E-Fed History): Unknown Past Titles (E-Fed Titles): Unknown LOOKS AND APPEARANCE: A large and imposing figure with an old-school red mask covering his face. He is an African-American man with no tattoos and no discernable markings of scars. He wears a black singlet with the letter "B" on each side on the hips. His boots are black. ATTITUDE: Downright mean and sadistic at times. Bishop (like his partner) rarely say a word even inside the ring. He does what he is commanded to do by the Lord and he believes his manager is God's mouthpiece on Earth. Woe be the man who steps across his path. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MOVES INFORMATION =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Wrestling Style: Powerhouse Signature Moves (Please limit to 5): 1- "The Crucifixion" - Razor's Edge (don't know the technical name for this move) 2- "The Intercession" - Pumphandle lift into a nasty backbreaker 3- "The Blessing" - Running big splash on a prone opponent Standard Moves: 1- arm-wringer into a short-armed clothesline 2- series of stomps to his opponent's chest 3- hip toss slam 4- blatant choke hold while he pummels opponent in the face with his fist 5- reverse elbow smash [180 degree spin into a back elbow smash] 6- springing elbow drop to his opponent's chest 7- jackhammer [suplex into a power slam] 8- running knee lift to doubled over opponent 9- boot choke on opponent's throat while holding onto top rope for additional weight 10- reverse fireman's carry backbreaker 11- elevated camel clutch 12- airplane spin 13- flying fist drop [from second turnbuckle] 14- high impact clothesline 15- inverted power slam 16- fall away slam =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MERITS & FLAWS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------- Merits ------- 1- Powerful. Could be the strongest man in wrestling. His attacks gain more merit because of that strength and he also has a tough chin because of it as well. 2- Agile. He is deceivingly quick for a man his size. No, he isn't flying over ropes or doing any crazy lucha stunts, but he is fast for a big man and that will catch some off guard. ------ Flaws ------ 1- Sadistic. Normally a strength and usually it is, but there are times when Bishop takes things too far and actually uses his strength to physically taunt an oppossing team. This can cause him to lose advantage at times. 2- Reconizes only his manager as authority on Earth. This means he will ignore referees at times and cause problems for his team. Ezekiel can usually keep this under control. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CHARACTER BACKSTORY =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Not much is known of Bishop. His real name is not known nor where he hails from. All that is known is that at some point he came into contact with Ezekiel Abraham. Some think that they met in a Mississippi prison and came out changed men willing to evangelize the world. But that has never been proven. All that is truly known about him is that he is a nasty as he is large. ================== MEMBER #2 ================== Name: Deacon Height: 6'4" Weight: 263 lbs Age: ?? Hometown: Unknown Alignment (Heel, Face, Tweener): Heel Past Experience (E-Fed History): None. He is a rookie. Past Titles (E-Fed Titles): None. He is a rookie. LOOKS AND APPEARANCE: A large and imposing figure with an old-school red mask covering his face. He is an African-American man with no tattoos and no discernable markings of scars. He wears a black singlet with the letter "D" on each side on the hips. His boots are black. ATTITUDE: He is not as sadistic as his partner, but he is still mean. He is the more calculating of the two, which means he is the strategist of the duo. His slightly better technical skill only adds to his ability to exact the will of God (or Ezekiel, as they are synonmous to him). He rarely speaks, but will on occassion with a deep, bass voice. He truly believes that he is an instrument of righteousness and everyone not agreeing with the revealed words through Ezekiel are to receive judgment. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MOVES INFORMATION =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Wrestling Style: Powerhouse (with more technical skill thank his partner) Signature Moves: 1- "The Via Dolorosa" - (Stretch Face First Powerbomb) - The attacker bends the victim over and stands to their back. The victim's lower arm is put between their legs and held by one of the attacker's hands as the attacker hooks the victim's other arm. The attacker lifts the victim up and flips them upside down. The attacker positions the victim in front of their body and sits down, dropping the victim down face first onto the mat. 2- "The Pentecost Slam" - (Belly to Back Double Chickenwing) - The attacker applies a double chickenwing on the victim and links their hands together behind the victim's back. The attacker lifts the victim up and falls backwards, dropping the victim on their shoulders/neck/upperback. Often done into a bridge. 3- "The Baptism" - (The Attitude Adjustment) Standard Moves: 1- Spinebuster Slam 2- Shoulderbreaker 3- Backbreaker 4- Double Arm DDT 5- Belly to Belly Suplex 6- Double Underhook Suplex 7- Full Nelson Slam 8- Running powerbomb into a pin 9- Fall Away Slam 10- Short Arm Lariat 11- Cobra Clutch Sleeperhold 12- Bear Hug 13- spear tackle 14- Belly to Back Suplex 15- Standing Powerslam 16- Vicious Knee strikes 17- Brainbuster 18- Hangman Neckbreaker 19- Various Chokes 20- Full Nelson Submission 21- Piledriver 23- Gutbuster 24- Kneebreaker =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MERITS & FLAWS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------- Merits ------- 1- Technical ability. He is a powerhouse for sure (though not as strong as his partner) and his technical ability makes him the workhorse member of the team. 2- Cardio. He is able to go in the ring an hour without letting up. The man is a beast in the ring. ------ Flaws ------ 1- Overconfidence. He sometimes likes to taunt a little too much, and he gets in trouble because of it. 2- Judgment. He sometimes either lets up on a hold too soon or holds it too long. This starnge decision making issue can (and will) cause him issues here and there in the ring. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CHARACTER BACKSTORY =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Much liek his partner, Deacon is a mystery. The prison story floats out there for all three of them, but all that is truly noted is that Deacon is a man of the wrestling craft. While his partner is a true brute, Deacon has learned a few more technical moves in orer to aid their cause. ---------------------- MANAGER ---------------------- NAME: "The Prophet" Ezekiel Abraham AGE: 46 ORIENTATION: Heel (but truly believes he is a righteous face) LOOKS/DRESS: An African-American man that stands about 6 feet tall. Dresses flamboyantly in Armani suits, has gold-rimmed glasses, a black goatee, and one gold tooth on the left side of his top front teeth. He always wears a gold watch, rings, and etc. Think a mix of Joel Osteen, Johnny Cochran, and Don King. ATTITUDE: He believes he is a righteous man looking to save the souuls of all he comes into contact with, even if that means he must send his disciples to force such a conversion. He is outspoken, boisterous, rhyming, and a total wordsmith. He is pure glitz and pizazz in his presentation and speech. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* TAG TEAM INFORMATION *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ENTRANCE MUSIC: "Are You Ready for a Miracle" by Patti LaBelle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYpz3abAk98 TAG TEAM FINISHER (Description): "The Resurrection" Essentially, Bishop does a pumphandle lift on the opponent and then falls backward with them as Deacon rushes in and grabs their neck for a diamond cutter. (It is a 3-D variation)
