[color=ed1c24]Gimmick:[/color] Outstandingly Russian. Making fun of the now collapsed Soviet Union, "Ivan Ivanovich Ivanowsky" is on a quest for power, determined to destroy all capitalist pigs. Almost never has any allies, unless there is another wrestler who shares his deep appreciation for the glorious motherland and communism.

[color=ed1c24]Personality:[/color] Believe it or not, Mikhail isn't actually a soviet extremist! While his parents did hail from Russia, they weren't particularly patriotic and didn't imbue any ideals onto him as a child. He laughs at almost everything, which can end up being quite inappropriate if someone is genuinely upset about something. He often ends up in a position of intimidation when conversing, he always stands too close to the person he's talking too. He usually doesn't step in if other people are at odds with each other, instead choosing to watch them sort it out among themselves.  

[color=ed1c24]Biography:[/color] Born in Fairbanks, Alaska many years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, his mother and father were never patriotic of their homeland, and never imbued any strong ideals onto him. He grew up fast, growing taller and heavier than his parents quite quickly in his youth. His low voice and up close demeanor often had people backing away from him and tending to stay away. As such, he never had too many friends, and never any close ones, but on the other hand, he never had any enemies either. Some made fun of his heritage and accent, but he simply laughed with them, and the would-be bullies just shrugged and walked away. What where they gonna do, attack him? Not at [i]his [/i]height.

He worked manual labor jobs for a long while, construction, agriculture, even mining. He considered joining the army for a military career, but soon found a calling in professional wrestling. Employers picked him up and assigned him to the apparently obvious gimmick he has today. He figures it suits him well enough, and he enjoys being a goofy bad guy.

He began his professional career in a series of losses, often being a ploy, an easily defeated bad guy for up and coming babyfaces. He quite enjoyed being knocked over and dramatically falling over the top rope, tumbling downwards with his massive size. His first highlight was being crushed and humiliated by Max Powers back in the day. 

The managers decided to do a little more with his character and had him defeat a minor hero in a shocking turn of events. His first rivalry, although ending him with him being defeated in a down to the wire battle, he stilled gained a little reputation as a proper villain, instead of an easily defeated goon.
