He is a constantly growing Powerhouse and resembles that of a well built raging bull, especially for his age. [i]This is not even his final transformation[/i]. He succeeds when he puts his mind into his fighting and uses the constant adrenaline he generates in battle, especially when he's under immense pressure, to grab full control over his emotions, using that anger and delivering it into his blows. It's imperative to dodge his hits because along with him crafting every move, planning to corner his opponent or lead them into a trap, a single hit can put his opponent at a great disadvantage or even KO them if they aren't prepared. His time in Japan has given him MMA experience on his belt and put his body through immense challenges that's only made him stronger. Go all out and do anything to win. Japanese wrestling was more of a war and soon he will be heading back to America, ready to bring a new force to AWE. He's a true fighter at heart and it'll shine through. Without a doubt, he'll be better than his father.[/color][/indent] [b][color=778899]|[/color][u]Signature Moves [/u][color=778899]|[/color][/b] [indent][color=778899]»[/color] [url=http://imgur.com/dHttGxr]Last Ride[/url] [color=778899]»[/color] [url=http://imgur.com/Pi8nATB]Wrathful Chokeslam [/url] [color=778899]»[/color] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jN9wU7UXPM]No Mercy[/url] (Tiger Suplex) [color=778899]»[/color] Retribution loves to do suplexes: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLuAyazyrL0]23 exploder, T-bone, and capture suplexes[/url] [color=778899]»[/color] [url=http://i.imgur.com/Wh0y1Mh.gif]The Punisher Powerbomb[/url][/indent] [b][color=778899]|[/color][u]Finisher [/u][color=778899]|[/color][/b] [indent][color=778899]»[/color] [url=https://gfycat.com/EnchantingLimpingAss]The Verdict[/url] (The Rainmaker) [color=778899]»[/color] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmeHoVWwKbw]You’re Welcome[/url] (Tiger Bomb) [/indent] [b][color=778899]|[/color][u]Theme [/u][color=778899]|[/color][/b] [indent][color=778899]»[/color] [url=https://youtu.be/AO3108Wwgm0]The Second Coming[/url][/indent] [b][color=778899]|[/color][u]Gimmick [/u][color=778899]|[/color][/b] [indent][color=lightgray][color=778899]»[/color] To leave the shadows of his father's legacy, Blake chose to become an intense force to be reckoned with. Training until his body became numb to the pain, he aimed to not be the best, but to bring out the best in his opponents, by shoving a mirror in their faces and showing the evil coursing through each and every one of them. His only exceptions? His siblings, especially his sisters, Trinity and Joy, who he would protect with his life, and Caiden Winters, who has proven his worth and undoubtedly, the best has and is already thriving in his friend. He may not look as large as the monsters in the ring (mind you, he's still a brawny dude) but his punch can and will match them. Retribution is hellbent on taking people down off their pedestals and forcing them to make amends for their sins. To himself, he is lawfully right, to others, they see a man who has no mercy, causing him to be viewed as a heel. You [b]do not[/b] want to get on his bad side. He will pay you back, ten fold. Taking what he wants, Retribution follows his own code of conduct and lets his rage cloud his judgement, which can cause collateral damage. He does not make promises, he makes guarantees. Whatever he says he will do, he [b]will[/b] do. He does not have regards for anyone but those he chooses to keep close. Gain his trust and you will have his loyalty through thick and thin. His actions are morally ambiguous. Although he will never lie, he could mislead or withhold information. If an innocent is in the way of his target, he will bring harm to said person to achieve what he wants. If you want his help, expect him to want something in return, unless you are considered blood. He will save his kin and expect nothing in return. He will [i]try[/i] to save you, using the only option he believes is viable, punishment, but he already believes you're a lost cause because you have not shown him you're worth saving. To be damned by him is to have an unforgiving enemy for the rest of your pathetic existence. [i]The time of Retribution is now.[/i][/color] [/indent] [b][color=778899]|[/color][u]Face or Heel [/u][color=778899]|[/color][/b] [indent][color=lightgray][color=778899]»[/color] A Questionable Face[/color][/indent] [b][color=778899]|[/color][u]Backstage Rep [/u][color=778899]|[/color][/b] [indent][color=lightgray][color=778899]»[/color] Currently, he is in Japan honing his skills. He has yet to make his official AWE debut, even if people do know of him and he does have a decent reputation based on his experiences. Blake isn't a complete ass. Actually. He's a lovable fool, who simply gets [i]extremely[/i] into acting. He took inspiration from Commodus from Gladiator "Am I not merciful?", Inglorious Bastards, The Prince of Egypt, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (especially the song Hellfire), and other cinema films. He [i]really[/i] likes movies, man. If he isn't having a life or being a wrestler nearly all the time, he is binge watching movies and shows. Although he plays up on the 'fact' that he has major dad issues and wants to surpass his father in prestige, he and his father are on extremely close terms and he doesn't actually mind going to his old man for advice and help. One can say this has been an act he's been constructing ever since he was a teen boy. Make the press believe you are your character, when really, your personal life is quite peaceful - even if there is an underlining sadness due to the loss of Elise. His mother. Yes, he was a mama's boy, which was obvious when he was little and playing around in the AWE headquarters with his siblings. Out of all the Ryder children, he would be in the most pictures with his mother. He's handsomely charismatic and doesn't require much to be a happy boy. Food really is all that matters if you want to satisfy him. And movies. He's a lot simpler than his act and can be endearing with how much he cares about the little things and the people in his life. That being said, like his act, there can be times where Blake gets irrationally angry and may need some alone time to calm down. He hasn't found many remedies for his anger besides making his knuckles bleed by recklessly punching into a wall.[/color] [/indent] [b][color=778899]|[/color][u]Other [/u][color=778899]|[/color][/b] [indent][color=lightgray][color=778899]»[/color] [b][color=778899]778899[/color][/b], FC: Matthew Noszka; knows Spanish and Japanese[/color] [/indent][/hider]
