» William Andrew Shepherd

|Hails From |
» Chicago, Illinois
» July 17th, 1981 (33)

|Fighting Style |
» Drayden’s style has morphed and evolved over the years. He can comfortably work with almost any wrestler, and is a ‘ring general,’ that is to say he typically takes control in the ring and calls spots and moves. Backstage, he will build the match from the ground up with his opponent, often times without the help of a road agent; he’s trusted by Roderick to put on the proper match. For the past five years, he’s consistently squeezed a 4-star match out of even the lesser skilled opponents he wrestles, and when he truly has chemistry with someone, the match will easily be 4.75 or 5 stars.

He has a ring psychology like none other. Drayden builds his story on the mic with his opponent, then tells it in the ring. He has big moves that he uses commonly, but for the most part works around what his opponent is capable of.

|Signature Moves |
» Superkick
» Moonsault
» Blue Thunder Bomb

|Finisher |
» Crucifix Powerbomb (disregard stupid top rope setup)
» Burning Hammer (used a total of three times throughout career, never kicked out. used to win first heavyweight championship, retire legendary Blaze Pierson, and most recently to put away Caiden Winters in Drayden’s final match before succumbing to injury. Very big, protected move.)

|Theme |
» Derp

|Gimmick |
» Drayden is himself turned up to 11, simply. Funny when the time is right, serious when the time isn’t, and passionate about this business. He not only has been the pinnacle of this business for nearly 8 years, he knows it, and he tells his opponents that: they need to respect him, because he is the man they wish they could be. To have a match with Drayden is a possibility to build yourself up, to beat him is a way to let people know that you could potentially be the next big thing.

|Face or Heel |
» Face to nearly everyone, some people are sick of him and boo his ass, but he loves it. Often times during his matches, there are chants of ‘Fuck ‘em up, Drayden, fuck ‘em up.’

|Backstage Rep |
» Generally well received backstage, the only people who seriously don’t like him are those who are jealous of his position as Roddy’s golden boy. He’s open to suggestions from the other wrestlers on what he can do to improve, and is happy to guide those who have potential but are green to greater heights. Very much a locker room leader, whenever he has a match with someone he sees a future in, he’ll do his best to make them look like a million fucking bucks, regardless of who wins or loses, and he usually does a good job of that. As an excellent promo, Drayden is good at building his opponents up too, and has had legendary verbal throwdowns with people who are as good as he is on the mic.

Natural charisma and a general air of ‘good guy’ has led most people backstage to have a good opinion of him. Roddy knows he captured lightning in a bottle with Drayden, as the man is happy to do charity work, and up until just the last few years, was on the road 300 days a year putting on show after show — he has recently stopped showing up for shows that aren’t broadcasted on television. When he leaves for real, they’re screwed.

AWE’s franchise player since 2006.

|Birth Name |
» Wade Lewis Palmer

|Hails From |
» Robbinsdale, Minnesota
» June 28th, 1981 (33)

|Job at AWE |
» Leader commentator at desk, host of AWE After Hours, eventual producer of commentating

|Skills |
» Boundless wrestling knowledge, buttery smooth voice, pop-culture references galore, can keep his partners on track

|Reason for being here |
» Wade is passionate about wrestling. He loves it, and he loves being that close to the action; even if he himself can’t wrestle due to injuries sustained when he was younger. He never wants to let this job go.

|Looks & Style |
» Wade dresses pretty professionally when he’s out at the desk, but is a bit more lax when off-screen and backstage, often times going so far as to wear the merchandise the company produces. Dude, he’s a fucking mark.

|Personality Traits |
» Wade’s a bit of a geek, there’s no way around it. From the way he weaves pop-culture references into his commentating, to the way he spends almost all of his free time watching wrestling tapes and absorbing as much of the sport as he can, not just AWe, he’s a geek. Through and through.

Wade has an almost childlike adoration for the sport and its performers, it’s no secret that when he was younger it was his goal to become one of the greatest wrestlers of all time; that dream unfortunately fell through after an injury sustained while working one of his first matches after a boot camp. Wade had a severe concussion that made it simple to him and doctors: his body was not cut out for this job.

So he chased the next best thing: commentating.

This is both a good and a bad thing; while it robbed a young man, aged 17 at the time of the incident of his dream, it gifted the wrestling world one of the most passionate and energetic commentators of all time. Wade Palmer’s voice is almost irreplaceable at the desk alongside his two newer partners.

Wade has a tendency to bring snacks to the commentating desk, and is almost constantly drinking water to keep his voice from giving out.

|Favorite wrestler |
» Trinity Caiden Winters

|Rep at AWE |
» Wade traveled the world at the tender age of 18, calling matches everywhere from the bingo halls and high school around the American indie scene, to the main event of the Tokyo Dome. He has a mind and a knack for this business like none other, and it has only built and built throughout his adventures.

He found a permanent home at AWE almost five years ago, where he took over the desk from a team of older commentators who were ready for retirement. Disregarding the occasional company of a wrestler, Wade Palmer called the shows solo for years, until Roddy came to him with a proposition: transitioning into a backstage role, where his knowledge for the business could be utilized properly: the director of talent relations, and a powerful level of control in the booking of the company.

However, like all good things, this comes with a catch: Wade has to train his replacements, two men he was allowed to handpick. For just over a year, Wade has been calling matches not alone, but with two people he is honored to call his co workers, and proud to call his friends.

When Wade feels the pair is ready to take over for him, he’ll transition to a backstage role, though he’ll always be with them in spirit and… well, in their ear pieces. He isn’t going to let them tarnish what he’s built, after all!

Generally speaking, Wade is well liked and respected for his berth of knowledge, and is often looked to for tips to improve, despite not being a wrestler himself.

|Birth Name |

|Hails From |
» Marieville, Quebec, Canada
» October 5th 1987 (30)

|Fighting Style |
» A style honed after years and years of practice and work, Caiden’s style is nearly one of a kind, influenced from his travels around the globe on the circuits before joining the AWE, he has never fully conformed to the AWE ‘style’ of wrestling. He has a little of column A and a little of column B, even some of column C.

Largely trained in Japan, he has a certain flair to his style borrowed from all around the world, and it allows him to mesh well with everyone on the roster. You want to have the best match of your life? Look no further, he’ll pull it out of you. Or at least, he most likely will, there’s always a small chance that it flops.

But that’s only if you’re bad, mate.

He’s the best.

|Signature Moves |
» Corner Kick
» 450 Splash
» Enzuigiri, sometimes a top rope variant.

|Finisher |
» Winter Solstice
» GTS
» Destino

|Theme |
» Here
Slightly heavier no lyrics version he’ll eventually use after victories

|Gimmick |
» Caiden Winters considers himself the best of the best of the best of the best that this world has to offer. For some reason, though, the powers that be in AWE don’t see this in him, and he’s always having to prove himself. Despite the cheers he gets from working matches so hard, Caiden doesn’t care. He wants to win championships and prove to EVERYONE, not just the stupid marks who tune in every week that he is the BEST in this business.

He is the best in that ring, he is the best on that microphone, even on commentary, nobody can touch him. Nobody.

And he’s been the best since day one when he walked into this company, and he pinned Roddy Quinn’s pet project Drayden 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring CLEAN. No cheating, no outside interference; hell they didn’t even leave the ring for it. But did he get rewarded with a title shot?

No.

Caiden Winters and his debut victory against Drayden — something that hadn’t been done before him, hasn’t been done since — went straight to the mid-card, for over a year and a half before he finally got his championship shot against Drayden, where he wasn't able to put him away.

Despite not being able to beat Drayden for the World Title, Caiden is… really, really really really good. He’s clean in the ring, decent on the mic, and able to turn the initial babyface cheers he gets upon his entrance into loud boos with just a few words and gestures.

The face turn is coming eventually. And it will be huge.

|Face or Heel |
» Heel

|Backstage Rep |
» A common word used to describe Caiden by his coworkers is 'distant.'

It isn’t inaccurate, he’s not exactly the most social of the roster. He keeps to himself for the most part, always very focused on what happens during the show, and always doing his best to ignore most of the backstage politics. However, once someone presses through his initial barriers, the words used to describe him morph from ‘distant’ to ‘quiet,’ or ‘reserved.’

Caiden is very private about his personal life, and tends to mostly stay off of social media, other than character work he does on Twitter, for example. He doesn’t have much for friends backstage, though the people he works with are always happy to wrestle a match with him, knowing that it will be fantastic from start to finish.

Ideally, he would like to open up and be less… shy; the fact of the matter is this: in his two years working here, Caiden Everett hasn’t made any friends. He’s kind of lonely, extremely shy, and often times lost. He has his own dressing room, though it’s usually smaller than the other private ones.

He keeps in contact with friends from Japan, where he was largely featured before working in AWE; and though he worked in the British circuits, and even a few Mexican companies, his main ‘friend group’ is in Japan. Caiden fluently and confidently speaks English, Japanese, and French (first language), and can stutter his way through a conversation in Spanish; though he’d never cut a promo in it.

A little work and a little polish, and he’ll make a fine face of the company; someone just needs to forcibly drag him out of his apparent shell.

|Birth Name |
» Kevin Harrison

|Hails From |
» Los Angeles, California
» March 29th, 1991 (26)

|Job at AWE |
» Head writer and chief of the creative division. In charge of building characters for everyone, booking shows where everyone looks good, and making sure that promos are sufficient.

|Skills |
» He has a degree in screenwriting, and one in creative writing. He’s very good at making storyboards, and in his office he always brings whiteboards that he constantly draws things out on, to help him make sense of things and keep consistency in his stories. He’s a fan of long-term storytelling, consistency, and continuity, a laundry list of things that before his time were completely foreign to the company.

Because of these things, Kevin has secured not only the head writer position, but has earned the respect of Roddy and his peers — to the point that Kevin was allowed to handpick his creative team.

|Reason for being here |
» Deep down, this is always where he wanted to be. Originally after his graduation from college, Kevin Harrison’s plan was to find a producer who would accept the screenplay he’d written for an original TV show, chasing the constant revenue stream and security a TV deal would provide him.

However, after about a year out of college searching for a job in Hollywood, he gave up and instead applied to AWE as a member of the writing team. Once there, he slaved away for over two years, before he got… well, he got lucky and was given an opportunity: half the writing staff left, and Roddy’s only choice was to promote Kevin to lead.

He took this chance, and run with it. In the seven months since he took this position, the writing has been lauded critically, and every character seems to have a purpose and a place on screen. All of the different times the fans get REALLY into it? Kevin Harrison’s direction and ability to formulate stories for everyone on his roster is at the heart of it.

And he loves it! He’s never gonna leave, they’re gonna have to drag him out of his office with a damn crane.

|Looks & Style |
» Homeboy look like a fucking geek, dude. He dresses in whatever’s comfy, often times just clothes he grabs from the merchandise truck, and almost always wearing a hoodie. He puts on a suit once every couple weeks for official meetings with the board of directors, but even when meeting directly with Roddy, Kevin will dress down. He’s a writer, not an executive.

|Personality Traits |
» Kevin Harrison is undeniably good at what he does, but Roddy and the rest of the old guard would describe him as ‘unorthodox.’ The idea of storyboards… no the idea of consistent, real character development is insane to them. In their day, when Roddy did everything himself, before he’d learned to delegate, characters were developed once and rarely ever evolved, if Kevin continues to have his way, every member of the roster will evolve and change as they keep going.

He does his best to be approachable. For the most part, he’s firm in his booking decisions, but he is open to hearing things from the talent, especially if they have any ideas for repackaging. In his mind, everyone should be getting over to a certain extent. If the crowd is completely dead, something is completely wrong and it’s probably going to be completely his job to fix it.

Despite the fact that he’s engaged, Kevin considers himself married to his job, and he’s almost always working or thinking about it.

|Favorite wrestler |
» Joy Ryder. Does she count? She should; she helps him get talent over and helps them build a bit of a character out there. Deserves a spot at the top of the list more than any of those spot monkeys...

|Rep at AWE |
» Very, very well liked. A lot of people owe their crowd reactions to Kevin, he’s helped them build their characters, and helped give them a place on the card. Before him, writing focused on a few key players, and the rest of the roster was just there as a build up to the main event, after him, even the undercard is well liked. It’s not an exaggeration to say his writing has saved a few jobs in AWE, keeping Roddy from releasing people who just weren’t getting over no matter what.

Kevin is also much more approachable than his predecessor, always leaving a note on the segment list saying that if there are any questions, come and see him in his office, and he’ll answer anything. He’s also much more open to suggestions, and if someone has a good idea for a tweak to their character, he’ll at least do them the courtesy of listening.

» January 24th, 1993 (24)

|Fighting Style |
» By throwing people around like they’re bloody rag dolls. You stepped into the ring willingly with this dude? What are you, are you fucking silly? He’s currently only had two matches on TV, and those were near the beginning of his tenure. Most of his ring work is done in the Performance Center and dark matches. There’s really nothing left to teach him, the charisma just isn’t there.

As soon as you put a mic in his hands, it all falls flat.

Throwing people around can only get you so far...

|Signature Moves |
» Triple powerbomb
» Clothesline from hell

» Tilt-a-whirl power slam

|Finisher |

|Theme |

|Gimmick |
» There’s nothing there, really. Despite the best efforts of the writing team, his ability to work the mic is limited and his character barely stretches past ‘big guy who is apparently really good at wrestling.’ Which he is, he’s a bloody natural in the ring, but my god man. Being good in the ring will not get you over.

The plan? Give him a manager. Can you handle that, Dylan? Can you stand in one place while someone makes you out to be a badass? I bet you can, lad.

|Face or Heel |
» Heel. He’s supposed to be a heel anyway, who knows really? He’s not all that at character work...

|Backstage Rep |
» It all depends on you ask. Certain people think he’s here too early, others think he’ll never make it. Some think he’s genuinely a nice guy (which is true, ask his puppy); but others still are just intimidated by his huge size. The simple fact of the matter is he’s barely been traveling with the roster for just under two months is he hasn’t been here long enough to build a backstage reputation.

In time, though, he hopes to make some friends in this business.

|Birth Name |
» Daniel Church

|Hails From |
» Sacramento, California
» October 9th, 1985 (31)

|Job at AWE |
» He does not work at AWE. However, he is often at their events and is friends with more than a few wrestlers and backstage employees. He is a wrestling journalist and posts stories as they come and go, and reviews the shows and matches. He reacts accordingly based on how he feels the company is performing, and has no qualms calling out a wrestler or wrestlers for having a shit match, cutting a shit promo, or calling out the powers that be for making their fucking look like goddamn geeks.

|Skills |
» Smooth talking
» Tech savvy
» Dadskills
» Radio host-esque silky smooth voice
» Good at ranting

|Reason for being here |
» When he was younger, in 2001, Daniel Church had a brilliant idea in his school computers class: he’d build a fucking website. Now, the first thing you had to do when building a website, was pick something you were passionate about… at the time, Danny Church was only really passionate about one thing: PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. Even at the young age of fifteen, DC had a brilliant mind for coding and built a website that was grand, even for the times. It gained a following, and the forums on it exploded in popularity as the tape traders and more hardcore fans finally found a place to talk and get their opinions out there.

The Smark Remark, the website is known as, and it’s only grown since its original inception in mid-2001. Danny made friends with the right people, and after high school, he passed the day-to-day management of the website over to a team of administrators and moderators. The man himself began a focus on the content creation for the website. He hosted podcasts with wrestlers from all over the world, and he began to rate matches.

Every show he saw, either live or on a tape he bought, he rated the match. Over time, his ratings and opinions got a little controversial, with people arguing about whether he was right or wrong, but he there was one thing they agreed on: he was consistent. He also wrote reports on rumors that he heard, and posted opinions and frequently participated in conversations on the message boards.

Four years after graduating, when Danny was 22, his then girlfriend, Clarissa Whitaker, gave birth to his two beautiful children. Twins, a boy and a girl. Robert and Cynthia, Bobby and Cyn. His babies and his life — other than work. They are turning ten in January of next year, and attend an online school to make it easier on Daniel to travel around for his job. They haven’t seen their mother since they were two; as it turns out, their mother was… crazy, to say the least. After Daniel discovered her drug habits and realized she was a poison in his life, he cut her out and got full custody of his children.

Since then, the single dad life has been the life for him. Working and taking care of two rascals isn’t exactly the easiest lot in life, but… he makes it work. When he was called up by Walter Durrel, who proposed combining their two mediums a few years ago, DC jumped on the opportunity. Together now, they put out podcasts reviewing AWE mostly, as that’s Walter’s preferred company. In return, Danny Church offers the Smark Remark’s website as a new home for the Wrestling Journal. They make a surprisingly good team so far.

|Looks & Style |
» Decked out from head to toe in wrestling gear, Danny doesn’t give a FUCK about how people think of him in public. He’s a hardworking single father, get bent. He’ll sometimes match or contradict his children when they go to the shows — both of his kids are huge fans too.

|Personality Traits |
» Danny is brutal and quick to be critical. He doesn’t listen to the reasons for things sucking and just accepts that they suck. If a wrestler isn’t working at their full capacity because of injuries? Whatever, stop fucking working. Utilize your roster, people.

He’s fun to talk to, and is good at telling stories and ranting and making other people who agree with him happy. He often gets into long winded debates on his podcast with Walter, but as a person Danny honestly looks forward to it every night.

Deep down, he’s just a mark, dude. He loves wrestling, everything about it from the ground up is amazing, and he can’t get enough. The fact that he built something great out of his love for wrestling amazes him to this day, and the Smark Remark is his baby. He enjoys posting on the message boards to this day, and recording the weekly podcasts is something he lovingly looks forward to every day.

It’s his second baby, the thing he loves most right behind his children.

|Favorite wrestler |
» Caiden goddamn fucking Winters, fuck you Roddy for burying the best wrestler to ever grace this goddamn planet. And Retribution. Excited for him to come, which I'M SURE HE'LL DO EVENTUALLY ONCE RODERICK QUINN PULLS HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS FUCKING ASS. Gethin's a personal favorite too, at least he gets used properly by those idiots.

And fuck you Drayden, I bet you encouraged that shit, didn’t you? Gotta GO OVER EVERYONE. Asshole. And of course, my fucking kid loves you so I have all that stupid merchandise in my fucking HOUSE.

Trinity’s cool too.

And Morgana.

What? I can’t hate the kids’s favorites, I’d be an asshole.

Except for Drayden. Fuck you. And fuck your stupid fat head wall stickers, now you’re stuck to the goddamn wall behind my FUCKING COUCH.

|Rep at AWE |
» Honestly, most people at the AWE don’t really like him. Daniel is loud, brash, and he doesn’t care about calling them out if they do something stupid. If you botch one goddamn move you better believe DC will roast the fuck out of you. You lose a match looking like a geek and hate it? Too goddamn bad, Danny Church knows full well you’re a NERD and you’ll never live it down.

But, he’s undeniably good at the job, and they actually take his ratings seriously. The few wrestlers that Danny fanboys about are quite fond of him, and he does a good podcast that wrestlers try to take advantage of. It can just be hard to deal with someone that’s going to call out every little mistake you make, even when it’s more blamed on the booking team than yourself.

He also has a tendency to post rumors about who’s going to win or lose a match, and rarely checks the validity of his source. Unlike his partner, Walter, Daniel Church is not a journalist. He’s angry millennial who thinks Roderick Quinn is ruining his goddamn favorite thing by blowing Drayden and giving him everything he asks for.

This doesn’t stop every member of the locker room from obsessively checking his reviews, though. Even Roddy does it.

» Los Angeles, California
» March 23rd, 1992

|Job at AWE |
» Justice has a spot at the desk alongside her lifetime best friend, Joy Ryder, during the pre/kickoff show before PPVs, in addition to handing interviews that are put online. She works closely with Joy, and will eventually take the second spot at Aftershock alongside her friend.

|Skills |
» Let’s start with the basics: Justice has a nice voice. Does that sound basic? Well, that makes sense… because it is. It really started like that, having a nice voice. That was the only reason she was offered the job in the first place — it was on the recommendation of Joy Ryder that she applied for the job, and it was to the shock of herself that she got it.

Following that, she’s actually pretty good at this whole interview thing — maybe it’s from years of watching the AWE on television, but she has a way with talking to these people. She asks the right questions to generate the right answers to generate the proper amount of views. Why views? Because she does, specifically, the online interviews, things that they didn’t have a spot for on the main weekly card.

|Reason for being here |
» Her best friend works here, she gets to be on TV, and all of these people are so… hot.

|Looks & Style |
» She wears cute clothes, generally. She doesn’t try TOO hard, but is capable of maintaining a steady balance between cuteness and usability. She also tends to really like overalls — part of her grandfather’s influence, but hey. Whatever.

|Personality Traits |
» Attentive > Talkative > Charming > Overbearing > Nosy > Childish

|Favorite wrestler |
» Barbie, I loves me a good bitch. Hector, spooky is good. Drayden, what? He’s the ace, of course I like him. And Oscar, too! Dope dude.

|Rep at AWE |
» She’s too new to have that much of a reputation. She keeps up a pretty damn good facade of being a bright, bubbly, lovely little girl. So, so far, so good.

|Gimmick |
» After a few different gimmicks, floundering even in developmental, Benjamin approached the head of talent developmental, the same man who had hired him with an idea for a character: Mordecai. A supernatural gimmick, the character has a certain feel to him that hasn’t been around in proper force since the Ghost Ryder and the Faceless themselves roamed the hallowed halls.

Mordecai claims that he has come to help those fans who have become blind to the truth, that through his work in the ring, he will guide them to the light. His promos are mystical and almost rambly in nature, but he speaks the truth and no one questions.

Mordecai promises, again and again, that he will bring balance back to the AWE, and that he will banish the fallen gods who once claimed they were all powerful — for now, it is he that holds all the cards.

Hail to the king.

Though she sometimes stays back, Mordecai is often accompanied to the ring by his queen and his wife, Amore. Her character is that a brainwashed woman, one who bought into the cult of personality that is Mordecai, perhaps unwillingly at first — but Stockholm Syndrome… is a sunovabitch.

|Face or Heel |

|Backstage Rep |
» A lifelong fan of the AWE, for the last three years, Benjamin Kennedy has been living his dream. He’d always wanted to be a wrestler wrestling anywhere. The fact that he’s wrestling in the AWE is just mindblowing, and not a day goes by where he doesn’t wake up and smile about it.

Almost four years ago now, took him every last cent in his meager bank account to transport him from his home in Houston, Texas to Orlando, Florida for tryouts at the AWE Performance Center, where all the talent was developed and trained. While he wasn’t very experienced, wasn’t the most fit and ripped person at the tryouts… Benjamin had the it factor, the elusive charisma that made Heath Ryder decide to take the leap of faith with him.

Was it worth it? The honest answer is no, not yet. While Ben has proven to be a sponge for knowledge and has worked with everyone that goes through developmental… he seems to flounder, and it wasn’t until this past six months that he started hitting his stride, with the Mordecai character.

He’s set to be called up very soon alongside his wife.

Very nervous.

But very, very excited.

To his friends, he tells the truth: they had crazy sex in the performance center less than two hours after first laying eyes on each other, and it was true love — not at first sight, but at first feel.

|Birth Name |
» Dana Flynn

|Hails From |
» Waterford, Ireland
» July 24, 1990 (26)

|Job at AWE |
» Hype Woman/Manager

|Skills |
» Dana's biggest skill, apart from the accent which has the benefit of making people swoon, is her salesmanship. Given her background - which was decidedly NOT in wrestling - she has mastered the art of the 'upsell' which is both a boon and a bane. While she is good at talking, she doesn't always seem to understand that the world of managing a wrestler is different from selling insurance or products to gullible people, which often leads to lofty promises to continue the hype.

While the jury is still out on whether or not it's a skill, Dana's willingness to learn from her partner - that is the one she manages - can make her seem somewhat naive; rather ironic for one who made a living prior to this from preying on naive sorts. Dana is a mind willing to learn even as she's standing dead center and selling a product that just so happens to be a person rather than a thing.

Dana is somewhat well traveled, having lived in Ireland and England before the States which allows her to work a crowd. Who doesn't love a mention of local sports team? What about local monument? Selling is all about getting the person to buy anything that leaves the mouth; and her accent only carries her so far.

|Reason for being here |
» She was scouted. Sales is a constantly changing field and Dana, though decent at it, was not immune from the changing market. Though she has little experience in this particular industry, her skills have carried over enough to where she was picked to act as a manager without knowing the full details of the job. Some might call into question her place or purpose, but she's committed to the job. She is here to make her client look good and win matches. That's the long and short.

|Looks & Style |
» Among some of the more known members of the roster - particularly the ones that do the wrestling - Dana probably doesn't hold a candle looks wise, or at least that's her view. She has a certain...girl off the street look for her, which is coincidentally almost fully accurate. But she doesn't feel the need to dress skimpily or like some stuffy business broad because of it. Hers is a natural sort of charm and charisma, with an expressive face that works well with her pale skin and burnt hair color. She manages to be just as confident, if not more so, than the people who are confident solely because of their bodies - and she doesn't have to be a bitch to get that across.

Unless chosen otherwise by the company, Dana will typically be found sporting business casual attire - a holdover from her sales jobs - with blouses and pants when she's speaking and clothes she can move in when at ringside. She never dons heels or boots, always a nice pair of shoes, sneakers generally, with an unkempt natural look about her hair. Casually, the sweater, skirt, tights combo is one of her stand-by outfits. It serves her well. Let the hussy's show their skin. That's not Dana Flynn.

|Personality Traits |
» Smooth talking, charismatic, sassy, classy, not really much of an assy, one hype machine roarin' lassie. But of course, that's the image she projects because that's what sells. When she sees the groups, has the lights beaming down on her...it's hard not to feel a bit overwhelmed at everything. She's still so green. And at this point she'll believe anything if it comes from a professional or veteran. What does she know? Not much.

|Favorite wrestler |
» Insert managed wrestler here.

|Rep at AWE |
» Being the new girl she's already expecting to be the victim of some pranks, some sort of method of hazing the new blood. She has a willingness to perform well that, combined with the fact her on-screen persona is pretty much who she is all the time, makes her sort of an annoying presence over long periods of time. Dana thinks she's hilarious, which is why she's always wanting to be the first one to crack a joke and the first one to blame other people if they don't laugh at it. Easy to like, easier to want to get rid of, but at least she means well.

|Birth Name |
» Hana Song

|Hails From |
» Los Angeles, California
» August 25, 1988 (28)

|Fighting Style |
» Hana "Death Adder" Song is a striker pure and simple. She likes using quick, accurate strikes rather than going for grapples or a good ground game. Grapplers are slow and cumbersome and tire out easily. People that focus on submissions are just trying to show off and are too passive to truly go for a killing shot. Her kicks are lethal. Her slaps and chops are like being bitten by pure venom. And that's only what she does legally. The Death Adder is not above using whatever methods are available to her to ensure her opponent is not getting up. Cheating? Fair game. Beating down pre or post match? Loves it. Mind games? She wrote the fucking book on these bitches. Like the venomous snake she is, each shot is precise and delivered in such a way to turn even the most cocksure of opponents into nothing but a weeping pile of tears, fears, sadness and pain. The Death Adder is not just a wrestler. She's an assassin.

|Signature Moves |
» "Rattler's Bite" (Savate Kick)
» Venom (Asian Mist - Green/Purple)
» Mounted Punches

|Finisher |
» Adder's Kiss (Black Mass)
» Red Mist (It Burns, Not Blinds)

|Theme |
» Boss Ass Bitch by Nicki Minaj ft. PTAF

|Gimmick |
» Like the snake she named herself after, Hana sees herself as someone packing a lot of venom in a smaller package. Not someone you want to trust, her words are just as much a weapon as her feet are. It's all about her, meaning that if she stands to gain nothing, she'll do nothing, but if there's something to be gained then there is no limit, short of actual crimes, that she won't go to to ensure that she is the last woman standing. Never one to accept a fair fight fairly, a real snake in the grass, waiting for the right time to sink her teeth into unsuspecting victims. Everything she does is in order to cut her victims down to size. She doesn't have opponents. She has victims. Hana is not above intentionally losing a match if she isn't interested in whoever is put against her; she picks her victims, not the other way around. And they'll know when the eyes of the Adder are on them. It isn't just a deconstruction in the ring, either. Hana bites into them, spreading her venom, using her words to cut them down, using her strikes to hurt them, and ultimately leaving them dead in the ring. Metaphorically, of course. It doesn't matter how long it takes, Hana isn't done until she stands over her latest victim, taking in the expression of fear and pain that is on their face.

Hana is the Death Adder.


|Face or Heel |
» She would be a face if people didn't find her lack of morals and willingness to cheat or not fight to be hate worthy. So she's a heel. A heel that doesn't discriminate.

|Backstage Rep |
» Hana doesn't have backstage friends because she intentionally doesn't let people get close to her. As far as people are concerned, who she is when she's the Adder is who she is all the time. Needless to say she doesn't have the most sterling of reputations given her work ethic. She will flatout refuse to work a match against someone she is not interested in fighting and it has lead to many complications with the staff and her fellow roster members. When she does have a match she cares about, though, Hana isn't against being a general, calling a match on the fly. No one can deny she knows her stuff, it's just that she's so selective about when she shows it off. Hana could well be a nice person, she just doesn't show much in the way of consideration for the roster. If someone starts an argument backstage, most of the time it's Hana's fault. She has no filter backstage - and only barely has one when the cameras are on. People often wonder how she hasn't gotten fired and that, of course, leads to all sorts of rumors from all sides.

People have noted, however, that Hana tends to soften up right around the time it's wellness policy check time. There's bound to be a reason.

» Hana is always the last person to submit to whatever screenings happen, sometimes delaying a day or days. No one knows why but no violations have been found all the same.

|Hails From |
» The Juniper Hive
» December 28. (24 years old)

|Fighting Style |
» Juniper Bug fights crime and fights for justice with agility and precision, which is to say that despite not having wings she does seem to fly. A high flyer mixed with punching strikes (comic book sound effects not included) combines with a never-say-die attitude. She doesn't float like a butterfly but she does sting like a Juniper Bug. She will never resort to underhanded tactics to win and her biggest, greatest asset is the amount of gas she has in her tank. It wouldn't do well if she could only manage to run and jump for five minutes before slowing to a crawl. An aerial striker with an infectious spirit.

|Signature Moves |
» MARVEL-ous Missile Dropkick
» VERTIGO
» IMAGE Elbow
» DARK HORSE Dragonrana

|Finisher |
» Bug Bite

|Theme |
» Steve McQueen - M83

|Gimmick |
» Juniper Bug is, in every sense of the word, a superhero. Her attire, which is always poppy bright colors of blues, whites, greens, and yellows (and all emblazoned with her heroic insignia) looks as if she popped out of the pages of a comic book, slapped on a wrestling mask, and trotted down to the ring. Which isn't all that far off. She takes her position as a hero seriously, always wanting to inspire the audience - particularly the young viewers - and always being the first to sign on for press tours or guest appearances. In a way, wrestling is like superheroes in the flesh. They may not save the world from destruction but they can still bring hope and inspiration and justice to the bad guys. Her trademark is coming down to the ring and giving her mask to a young person in the crowd; it's okay, she has a mask on underneath just for that occasion. When her words and out-of-ring persona don't tell enough of her heroism, her in-ring ability does the job. High flying, exciting, hard hitting action combined with a never-say-die attitude makes for a heroic clash anytime she's in the ring.

|Face or Heel |
» Heroic Face

|Backstage Rep |
» No one can deny her commitment to the character and ultimately that determines how people view her. Some find her annoying to constantly stay in character even when in the locker room, others find a bit of admiration in it. What can't be looked down on is her willingness to involve herself with the fans either via social media or in-person appearances. Rumor has it that there's a bounty for anyone who can find a picture or video of her without the mask on but she's notoriously crafty about ensuring the mask stays on whenever she needs to make an appearance. She has to keep her civilian identity a secret otherwise the villains would know how to get at her, duh.

|Birth Name |
» Gethin Andrews

|Hails From |
» Cardiff, Wales
» January 16, 1987 (30)

|Fighting Style |
» Gethin Rhys’ wrestling style summed up is hard hitting. He is considered one of, if not the top striker in the game today. His working style is a mix of stiff strikes such as sharp elbows, knees, chops and kicks mixed with a hybrid catch as catch can style. Having trained himself since a boy in Pencak Silat and kickboxing, he uses his natural strength to manipulate his opponents body parts via a variety of submission holds in order to find an opening for one of his deadly strikes. He works snug and fast but knows how to protect his opponents, with most of the damage actually being inflicted upon himself. Originally he had much more power based move set but an injury forced him to change his style and drop a load of weight. He tries to avoid planning a match out ahead of time, preferring to call spots on the fly and allow matches to build a natural tension.

|Signature Moves |
» Headbutt
» PK (Penalty Kick)
» Single Underhook Brainbuster
» Finger Snap

|Finisher |
» Hollow Point '87 (Spinning Cradle Kneeling Reverse Piledriver)
» End Waltz (Twister)

|Theme |
» ”Brutal Artistry”

|Gimmick |
» Gethin’s gimmick is that of pure professional violence. When not in the ring, he dresses in expensive suits and wines and dines with high society but he trains himself in a dimply lit, wrong side of the tracks gym. All he desires is competition and is a sportsman up until the bell rings, then he’ll tear your head off. Terrifyingly aggressive to the point that the ref often has to hold him back from doing more damage to his opponent and indeed himself. He does not care for the fans or the gold of his chosen promotion, instead only caring about hurting people and earning money from his matches. Gethin appears hyper focused to the point of tunnel vision during his matches, showing very little emotion apart from determination.

His ring gear consists of a pair of standard trunks with a dragon emblem on the front left, black boots and kick pads. Black wrist tape on his right hand a taped up left hand, elbow pad, taped shoulder as well as a gumshield.

His promo style is very reminiscent of Jake Roberts, he does not raise his voice and is well versed with a large vocabulary. He possesses a dark charisma and perfect psychology.

|Face or Heel |
» Heel

|Backstage Rep |
» Behind the scenes, Gethin is a generally reserved individual much like his character. He speaks softly but with purpose and is a nice enough guy to be around. That said, in the macho world of pro wrestling, many are weary of Gethin due to the fact he is in fact a bisexual man. This does put some people off of working with him as does the fact that his in ring in style is quite dangerous. At first Gethin tried to stress that he was bi and that even though he liked men, he also appreciated a woman just as much; this ran even to the point that he would make sure his colleague's saw him with girls. Eventually though, he began to accept that he wasn't always going to fit in, so he stopped trying to impress and just began to be himself.

Many adore watching Gethin work as compared to many on the roster, his brutal style adds a sense of legitimacy to the proceedings and gives everything that big fight feel. He has often been called sick because of how real he makes everything look, specifically his headbutt and finger snap moves. In spite of this dangerous working style, Gethin is well known for taking care of himself and several wrestlers often come to him to discuss dieting and work out routines.

He got his start on the British indy scene before making his way over to Japan where he properly made his name and developed the Brutal Artist character. Gethin arrived in AWE just under two years ago and has been slowly making his way up the card. Recently he won his first AWE title.

» Diana is a wannabe manager to the stars

|Skills |
» After several years in front of the crowd as a ring announcer and ring girl, Diana has become extremely confident in front of a audience. A queen of promo’s (in her own mind at least), she is just waiting for the day she can unleash her verbiage on the world. She knows how to use her feminine wiles to twist men around her finger and get women to despise her. Although not a wrestler, she is in great shape and isn’t adverse to taking a few bumps for the sake of the business she loves.

|Reason for being here |
» Diana has always been enamoured with her wrestling business ever since she was a little girl. She did everything she could to get into the business in some way, shape or form and is overjoyed that she now works for the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet. That said, she hopes now that she’s got a bit of experience under her belt that the bosses will see fit to give her a shot in the limelight.

|Looks & Style |
» In character, Diana portrays the character of an intellectual and cunning business woman looking to invest in the future of wrestling by managing its top stars. As such, she is always dressed to impress in business dresses and pencil skirts that show off her fine form. Backstage, Suzy dresses comfortably in leggings and AWE merchandise.

|Personality Traits |
» Intelligent. Sophisticated. Cunning. Flirtatious. Ambitious.

|Favorite wrestler |
» You do not need to fill this out until we get wrestlers in.

|Rep at AWE |
» Suzy is someone who made her bones on the independent scene. Originally getting into the business as a bikini glad ring girl used to advertise shitty bingo hall shows, she eventually got to be a ring announcer. Eventually she was picked up by Roddy and the AWE but was dumped in developmental. She has been announcing during the developmental events and at house shows but is really looking to become a manager. She feels that in todays current product, being a manager is a lost art and she wants to bring it back. Suzy does not just want to manage one person, she wants a cadre of superstars under her banner ala Bobby Heenan. She is well liked backstage as she is incredibly enthusiastic and always willing to learn, though she does tend to have an attitude in regards to authority as she does not like being told that she can’t do something.

A wrestler may have a story or a match ready but a little tweak from JP can turn a match from a 4 to a 5 star. He’s a little manic and hyper but its all part of his enthusiasm.

|Reason for being here |

|Looks & Style |
» JP is a fan first and foremost so walking around in AWE merchandise is nothing new to him, though for important meetings he does get dressed up. Most of the time he can be seen running around backstage to his own soundtrack as he always has his headphones on, carrying an energy drink and a scrap of paper or napkin with his latest brain child on.

|Personality Traits |
» He is enthusiastic and passionate about the business, the wrestlers and the stories that need to be told. JP likes to spout of as many ideas as he can, whenever he can, throwing a hundred things at the wall hoping one sticks. He tends to describe himself as someone whose brains runs faster than his mouth.

» JP was born with ADHD and suffered greatly as a child. His hyperactivity and constant ramblings left his parents a bit unsure of what to do with him. Once he was diagnosed, life got a little better. He began taken medication and found an outlet with sports, especially wrestling. He was always a fan of AWE with his favourite being the Ghost Ryder. He tried his hand at collegiate wrestling whilst studying for a journalist degree. Despite his own impressive size and athletic skill, JP knew he couldn’t continue sports with his medical issues, so he buckled down for his studies. He was working for a sport blog when Kevin approached him about signing on to AWE…maybe dreams do come true after all.

|Fighting Style |
» Ax fights dirty. Using moves more suitable in a bar brawl than in a wrestling ring, Ax uses a whole armament of trickery and pushing the rules to the absolute limits to get his own way. A cunning use of brutal strikes to wear down his opponents before deploying his dishonest practices. A common sight is for Ari to start distracting the opponent or referee to create an opportunity to gain the upper hand. Begging for mercy or pretending you're critically hurt then using a low blow? Nothing strange to the Biker.

|Theme |

|Gimmick |
» Ajax "Ax" Flanagan portrays the character of a badass Biker Gang member who's American-Irish too. A brilliant heel who fans love to hate, especially when he's feuding with the top couple, Barbie and Drayden. He can fly into a fit of unstoppable rage when someone has insulted his beloved Ari Slayer, onstage girlfriend and real life Wife. He's brutally cruel in the ring, and always tries to humiliates his opponents. It's especially fun to him to get heat when either he or Ari does a heel distraction or technique to gain the upper hand, which Ajax is not afraid of utilizing as much as possible.

His staple leather jacket always accompanies him in promos and entrances, and is usually wearing Balmain Jeans and black Motorcycle Boots. His most eye catching part however, is the multitude of tattoos all over his body, turning his skin into a moving canvas. On PPV's he'll even ride out onto stage on his prized motorbike, a Harley Davidson Forty-Eight.

|Face or Heel |
» Heel

|Backstage Rep |
» Michael isn't as much of an asshole out of the ring. In fact, he's actually quite nice once you get to know him, so it's weird that he can play a heel so well. The only things that stay the same between backstage and onstage is his love for his wife, Ari, and his love for motorcycles. He's quite funny and doesn't mind talking about pretty much anything in and out of the ring. He hasn't got time for backstage politics but if he's dragged into it then don't complain when he fires back. He can have a temper, but it's mostly for boneheaded people who can't get their job done right. As for whether the onstage hatred for the Drayden and Barbie is real or not, it's debatable. Most of the time he's chill with them, but no one knows for sure if there's a hint of truth when he cuts a promo against them.

Using his stamina and speed, the Blue Eagle wears down his opponents before using takedowns and swift kicks to put them in prime position for those oh-so-sweet high flying moves!

His boots are also coloured to match and his kneepads are white. Despite being a rookie, he's already got a good entrance he's bought over from his home country. When he walks out on stage, he is usually scene smiling, laughing and interacting with kids. His favourite thing to do is get the crowd together with a memorable chant.

» Oscar is treated like a superstar, through and through. His entrances are always elaborate and firework heavy. In terms of his character, he’s always larger than life and has amazing mic skills, though his character’s personality has evolved over the years as he’s been a face on two separate occasions and a heel on two separate occasions. He’s a former World Champion, as his first heel turn saw him have a high profile feud with Drayden that really put the young up-and-comer on the map.
As a face, Oscar is all about giving the crowd a show, spouting catchphrases and jokes in all of his promos and emitting pure entertainment like an aura. As a heel, he becomes an arrogant show-off, and his promos become wonderfully hateable and smug. He’s versatility with his gimmicks has what’s led to him staying fresh this long.

|Face or Heel |
» Heel(currently)

|Backstage Rep |
» Oscar’s been in this business a long time, and though isn’t one for creative control or backstage politics, trusting in the management and writing staff to do their jobs and he’ll do his, Oscar is a large presence backstage. Though he doesn’t haze new blood for the sake of it, he makes it very clear that the new faces should show respect to the business, the veterans, and to each other, and if they get out of line, the punishments will range from a match with Oscar that’s far stiffer than it should have been, to having to pay for a locker room expense like car fuel, food or booze (this is usually a punishment for stinginess), to simply getting yelled at in the locker room.
That said, Oscar can be a patient and understanding mentor and friend to those who do show respect. When it comes to planning matches, Oscar will almost always take charge, though is open to suggestions, and will practice until the match is perfect.

»Sydney's gimmick draws from Dawn's MMA experience and military background. Sydney is a punk who will brutalise her opponents. She either wears black or camo ring gear, and her titantron video has heavy war themes as well as grungy text and filters. Her entrance itself isn't anything spectacular. Her song hits, the lighting turns green, and she marches out with purpose. Sometimes she'll walk out with a chair or a bat if it's a stipulation match that allows such things. Sydney's wrestling style reflects her character; grapple-heavy, with her spots often being shows of strength and power, or acts of barbarism or brutality, such as chair shots or attacks aimed at the head.

|Face or Heel |

|Backstage Rep |
» Dawn, before being picked up by the company and trained from scratch to pro-wrestle, was first a British soldier, signing up for four years service when she was sixteen having seemingly no other options or aspirations. When she was discharged at age twenty, she had gained an appetite for physical fitness. She trained in MMA for a while before deciding that it wasn't her thing and she did not enjoy the competitive nature of it. She then turned to female bodybuilding. That's when she was picked up by AWE talent scouts, and was signed up to their developmental promotion, where she spent two years both learning and honing her wrestling skills. Seven months ago, she was moved up to AWE itself, and has enjoyed success as a dominant heel in the women's division.

Dawn's rep has not suffered for this unusual career path, and she is a genuinely nice, friendly, respectful person who gets on well with the rest of the locker room, and will happily give tips on bodybuilding and fitness to anybody who asks of her.

In terms of planning matches, Dawn is not a strict, meticulous planner, but nor is she comfortable calling moves on the fly. She likes to have a basic plan and the order of all the big spots at the very least decided on before the match. In the planning stage, she is more than accommodating of any ideas unless they undermine her character. She has a couple of rules she will not break for anyone, such as; she will never no-sell, she will never lose by submission unless it's an important PPV, and she believes that finishers should be protected and won't agree to perform or take too many if they won't win the match and it's not an important enough PPV for shock kickouts.

In his gimmick’s newest incarnation, will sometimes hurt himself just to unnerve his opponent, as well as relish in the pain of his opponent instead of fighting to win quickly. A Hector match can be an uncomfortable watch, and sometimes won’t even feel PG even though it breaks no rules.

|Backstage Rep |
»’Hector’ had enjoyed success as a big guy with the gimmick of an insane slasher villain, though this translated to cheesy effects, mind games and blackout attacks every other week. He was never a world champion though he did briefly hold the IC belt, and had an upper-card feud with Drayden during one of the rare instances when he wasn’t champion or challenging for the championship. This all came to an end over a year ago when Andrew had to go through a messy divorce, and took time off to return to Scotland and deal with that. He was written off TV by being set of fire from one of the chemicals of Dr. Sinister off the back of a feud with The creation, and then he was gone.
Several months ago, he came back for training, and to people’s surprise, it’s as if he was never gone. She’s the same old chatty, friendly big scot who enjoys a drink, and he had very little ring rust. He fell back into place in the AWE machine and is now ready to return to the ring, though his debut is still being held off until after the tournament. Personally, Andrew isn’t sure his character still fits in with an industry that’s gearing towards a more realistic, MMA style populated by small, fast guys with realistic names and characters, or maybe that just means he’s needed more than ever.

|Gimmick |
» Hector’s new gimmick is far more genuinely scary and intense than his old one. He is now a deranged psychopath, and even though there are still blackout attacks and lighting effects, Hector is framed less of a supernatural monster than he was in his previous run and far more of an ordinary albeit twisted and deranged human, and therefore all the more unsettling for it, as he seems real now. He will wear creepy masks, give nonsensical promos that make the interviewer uncomfortable, stalk his feuding opponents backstage in skits and during their promos, ect. His mindgames are a thing of beauty now. Rather than before, where every opponent would get the same thing (dolls, abandoned asylums, little girls), now each feud’s mindgames are tailored towards the fears and insecurities of his opponents and a big deal will be made of him getting inside their heads.

|Birth Name |
» Gary Palmer

|Hails From |
» Los Angeles, California
» January 3rd, 1992 (25)

|Job at AWE |
» Writer

|Skills |
» Gary is exceptionally gifted at crafting narratives that would not be out of place in a bestselling novel. He has a talent for making drama that is the right mix between believable and entertaining. Though he also has a talent for dialogue, he never writes alone. Wherever possible, he brings the wrestler or wrestlers in question in and, with their input, creates promos that feel unique to every performer. After all, nobody knows a wrestler's character better than the wrestler in question.

|Reason for being here |
» After graduation from college with a degree in creative writing, he looked for work. For several years he drifted between jobs he did not enjoy. He was a newspaper columnist, then a journalist, then he tried to break into the world of screenwriting but had no success. All the while he engaged in his real raison d'être, writing novels, and of the few that got published, none of them were successful enough to change his life, or do much more than pay a couple of bills for another few months.

Six months ago he got a call from Kevin Harrison, one of his college friends from the creative writing course, who had a high paying and creatively fulfilling job for him; being on the writing team for the biggest wrestling company in the country! Gary had been a fan of wrestling as a child. Most children he grew up with had. He lost touch with it during his teens but to be one of the people in charge of creating the kind of stories that used to hook him as a child, the kind of stories that may have been one of the things to insire him to write, was a dream come true! He naturally immediately accepted.

|Looks & Style |
» Gary practically never gets involved with anything on-screen. That being said he always wears a shirt and suit trousers to work, and always seems to have a plastic coffee cup or porcelain mug glued to his left hand. He's a big coffee drinker.

|Personality Traits |
» Gary, though talented and creative, is not used to a job this intense, and so is never seen without coffee in his hand. He is practically fueled by it. Another side effect of this lack of experience in such an industry is that he will take his holiday hours the moment he accumulates them, though this has not earned him heat as even when he's on holiday, he maintains an online correspondence with the rest of the writing team and still gives input, feedback and ideas. Really, he never stops working. Even when he's at home, he's thinking about the booking. He dreams about wrestling. It's his life now.

|Favorite wrestler |
» Gary does not play favourites. Ever.

|Rep at AWE |
» Gary is not the universally loved saviour of the writing team that Kevin is, but he still has a good rep with many of the wrestlers. The process of letting the performers have a hand in writing their promos is a very nice touch. Though they don't have complete control and very rarely get permission to improvise, Gary's method is greatly preferred to the old days when everybody had to repeat the given script word for word, and thus, every face sounded the same, and every heel sounded the same, barring catchphrases and some performers just being naturally talented enough to make it work and others not.

|Birth Name |
» Kenny Chen

|Hails From |
» Hong Kong, China
» April 14th, 1988 (29)

|Fighting Style |
» Kenny wrestles like a strong style wrestler, but with some high-flying luchadore style sprinkled in. He is afraid to start flying if the crowd wants something good. He's a very stiff, fundamental striker but is more than capable of pulling off extremely flashy and acrobatic moves if he needs to. Kenny loves to set up insane throws by softening up his target with a series of strikes before finally pulling off something you'd see in a kung fu movie. He is spectacular at selling moves, and prioritizes the safety of those in the ring with him.

|Signature Moves |
» Trailblazer (Double Underhook DDT
» Crouching Tiger (Underhook Powerbomb)
» Hidden Dragon (Springboard Leg Drop)
» Drunk Monkey (Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker)

|Finisher |
» River Bomb (Standing Corkscrew Moonsault)
» Spear (Spear)

|Theme |
» Man of Determination

|Gimmick |
» Kenny's gimmick is that he's Chinese. This allows him to channel the most iconic, relevant part of Chinese culture -- kung fu. This works in his favor because his English isn't too good (he can still sell a promo very well though), and holds himself as if an ancient kung fu warrior would. He tries his very best to be humble and grounded, trying to maintain a good image in order to appeal to AWE's Chinese fanbase. His attire and demeanor is an amalgamation of various kung fu icons such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee, etc. Most often he comes out shirtless with tight pants that are usually yellow with a black stripe running down the sides (paying homage to Bruce Lee's jumpsuit) and sometimes (like every three matches or so) he comes out with a bandanna to pay homage to Mortal Kombat's Liu Kang. Sometimes, if you're lucky enough, you can hear him making Bruce Lee noises.

|Face or Heel |
» Face

|Backstage Rep |
» He's a cool dude, however he is rather shy because his English vocabulary isn't large enough to really communicate what he wants to say. He respects everyone in the AWE, whether or not they have feuds, and does not like to quarrel with people. He welcomes fans and is more than willing to interact with them so long as they treat him with the respect he feels he deserves. Sometimes he brings an interpreter, Clara, along to help him interact with his fellow wrestlers, but she's usually busy so he's stuck to communicating via gestures and using every single bit of knowledge he has regarding the English language. He has two Twitter accounts (one in English and one in Chinese), a Facebook page, and an Instagram account.

|Birth Name |
» Amanda Bentley

|Hails From |
» SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA, USA
» February 2nd, 1991

|Fighting Style |
» Amanda was trained in shoot-style by Hiroto Katashi in Yokkaichi, Japan. A majority of her moveset draws upon her prior martial arts experience, including (amateur) wrestling, judo, karate, and boxing. As a result, she tends to be very stiff with striking attacks, but can display excellent flexibility and acrobatic prowess with grappling moves. Mirroring her MMA style, she tends to be the aggressor, initiating attacks whenever she can. She is also very crafty with her counters, and loves to utilize her opponents' own moves against them whenever possible.

|Signature Moves |
» Flying Armbar
» "Flying" Triangle
» Bridging Dragon Suplex
» Belly to Belly Suplex (à la DH Smith)

|Finisher |
» Four German Suplexes in a Row
» Sunset Flip Powerbomb

|Theme |
» Muse - Supremacy

|Gimmick |
» Amanda's biggest gimmick at the moment is having a very Japanese theme, despite not being Japanese in origin. Those that dislike her often throw insults like "weaboo" at her. This theme is in homage to her trainer, who took her in after her career in mixed martial arts ended. She wears an outfit very similar to Bayley of WWE, but is only colored in white and red. Whichever is primary and secondary varies every time she has a bout. In addition to the color changes, in lieu of the frilly wristbands, she has a sleeve on her right arm that is colored in secondary color of her outfit. She also has tape on her wrists to keep them from getting too banged up. Cutting a promo is not one of her strong suits, however. She lets her wrestling do the talking for her.

|Face or Heel |
» Face

|Backstage Rep |
» When the cameras turn off, Amanda is a very relaxed and mellow fellow. She's still very green and new to the wrestling scene, so has very few connections outside of AWE. Very rarely has she started drama in AWE. Whatever drama is started in the ring involving her is never pushed on by her. However though, she values loyalty and will defend her allies without hesitation, going as far as even running in on their matches and ruining their day. Whenever Amanda is running her everyday tasks and doing things everyone else does, she is more than happy interacting with the people who recognize her. Pictures, autographs, questions that aren't stupid - she loves to do it all. It makes her day having some little girl come up to her and try to snap a pic with her. Her Twitter and Instagram pages are very active as well, in order to make herself more exposed to the world.

|Birth Name |

|Hails From |
» Long Beach, California
» May 4, 1992 (24)

|Job at AWE |
» Head Stylist — Hair and Costumes

|Skills |
» Licensed cosmetologist
» Associate’s degree in fashion design

|Reason for being here |
» "It was either this, working with mostly women, or working with drag queens... and I'm far more likely to find a nice bear to cuddle with in wrestling." Jokes aside, Tilian is here because he loves helping people bring out their best characteristics — and the most fierce inner selves that even they might not have known that they had. Working alongside one of his best friends, Til has all of the creative freedom that he could ever wish for, and he truly gets to enjoy his job. Work doesn’t feel so much like work when you are doing something you are passionate about, and laughing as much as Claire and Tilian do backstage.

|Looks & Style |
» As one might expect from any self-respecting member of the #AWEGlamSquad, Tilian certainly looks the part of ‘glam’. The tall blond is always well-dressed, hair coiffed, hands manicured, and face made up. Til is not an extremist by any means, he definitely has a flair for the dramatic, but he is never spotted in clothing that one might described as gaudy or flamboyant — at least, his entire outfit couldn’t be described in that way. He is not afraid to incorporate new fashion trends or statement pieces into his wardrobe, but such risks are best taken very few at a time, as to not spoil the whole ensemble. As far as hair and makeup goes, that is his profession, it is only appropriate that he advertises his skills on his person; He is his own marketing billboard. Tilian’s natural honey-blonde hair has been paled a few shades by regular lightening treatments, and he occasionally adds in a few streaks of semi-permanent pastel colors, as it suits his mood. When Tilian wears makeup, which is relatively often, it is always tasteful and done to contour and highlight his naturally defined bone structure.

|Personality Traits |
» Tilian’s personality leaves no mystery as to why he chose the career path that he did. The young adult is positively vibrant with creativity, it’s obvious just by looking at him and the way that he carries himself that he is an artist of some sort. Better yet, this fount of creativity is paired with a daring boldness, which together managed to snag him a head position in the AWE style team, despite his young age. Tilian isn’t shy about speaking his mind in any situation, or to offer up new ideas, and he has such a charismatic way of doing so that it hardly ever seems forced. His confidence comes naturally and seemingly without effort, often inspiring his friends and colleagues to behave similarly. Positivity is contagious, and Til makes it a personal goal to be a beacon among his friend group, even in stressful situations, and life on the road can often get quite stressful.

|Favorite wrestler |
» (Awaiting a claimed favorite until all applications are in)

|Rep at AWE |
» Tilian is the pretty boy of AWE, quite literally, he is the prettiest of most boys. Now, one might argue that that isn’t the most difficult feat, given that many of the male wrestlers are ripped, rugged, masculine men, but it is a title that Tilian has earned nonetheless, and he embraces it gladly. Aside from his soft, smiley face, Tilian is also known as a gregarious sweetheart — always planning socials, and having an ear out to listen to the wrestlers when they’re going through hard times, and doing his best to cheer them up as much as possible. Tilian is a friend to all and an enemy to very few. Actually, he’s an enemy to none, as far as he knows… unless they’re homophobic?

|Hails From |
» Seoul, Korea
» BIRTHDAY & AGE; October 1, 1992 (26)

|Fighting Style |
» Abigail likes to fight clean in the ring though whenever the ref isn't looking, she might throw a few dirty tricks into her fighting style. But it's not often that she does that.

|Signature Moves |
» Spinebuster
» Dragon Sleeper
» Running Enzguiri

|Finisher |
» Let's Sing A Seong
» Seongstress

|Theme |
» Here

|Gimmick |
» Abigail's gimmick isn't exactly an original one as it has been down multiple of times. She portrays as a K-Pop Star from Korea but came to America to pursue a different dream, which was wrestling. At first, she thought that her gimmick was a little cheesy and dumb but she did not mention it to the team so Abigail just went with it. In the ring, she's just as playful with her opponents and finding ways to make sure they embarrass themselves, which usually ends up with her smiling towards the crowd and them roaring for her. Also, she smiles, either with or without teeth, after every impactful or signature move that she does. Whenever she's about to go for a finisher, Abigail will twirl her hands and stand a few feet away as she anticipates while her opponent is stirring. Though for her entrance, she wears a jersey and a short cheerleading-like skirt then once she's done with her entrance, the jersey, and cheerleading-like skirt comes off to reveal her real attire. Her in-ring wrestling attire is nothing more than this.

|Face or Heel |
» Face: Good girl.

|Backstage Rep |
» Abigail's life did not begin for her until she was about five years of age when she along with her mother moved to the United States of America. They moved because her mother and her father were constantly arguing then decided to get a divorce after a few years of marriage. Abigail did not mind either way since she was younger but have heard that the culture is much more different than the way she was raised back in Korea.

» Growing up, she really did want to become a singer for the Pop world but after hanging out with some friends and attending wrestling shows, she also wanted to be a wrestler. Her friends laughed and teased her so she got to training and working out so that she can show them that she has what it takes to be a wrestler. During this time, she also did indy shows for two brands but wanted something bigger and better. Her friends saw some of her matches and mentioned that she has what it takes.

» Honestly, Abigail never thought that she would've made it to the main stage. But when she was approached to sign a deal with AWE, Abigail quickly accepted and had no idea what she was getting herself into. It was a whole new world for her being a part of such a big brand now. She had multiple questions but was given the rundown upon recruitment. Abigail knew that she had it in the bag but now? She was going to be performing for bigger crowds and wrestling against people who have been in the business much longer than herself.

» She has been with AWE for four years, coming up on her fifth year in about a month or so. Her time with AWE has been quite memorable and she loves being apart of the brand so much. Abigail intends to hold a title in the future but she is more than happy to continue waiting for her opportunity.

|Birth Name |
» Marco Rivera Salazar

|Hails From |
» Mexico City, Mexico
» April 25th, 1981 (37)

|Fighting Style |
» In his youth Marco Rivera, as the enigmatic Toro Volador, was an exemplar of the blindingly fast and chaotic style of wrestling known as lucha libre. It was this energetic and chaotic style of fighting that first got Marco noticed by the wider wrestling world. After his unceremonious exit from the Federación Mexicana de Lucha Libre, Marco did numerous tours throughout the American Independent Circuit and Japan, and as he has aged, he has to rely more and more on American and Japanese styles of wrestling to prolong his career after several years of nearly blowing out his knees on a nightly basis. He has seemingly mastered the art of blending his lucha origins and newfound skills as a striker with the "AWE style" so to speak, and Marco is something of the company's go to guy when they just "need someone to have a good match." and it is a position Marco takes great pride in.

|Signature Moves |
» Ushigoroshi
» Gloria
» Rolling Bull
» Delayed Superplex

|Finisher |
» Toro Driver
» Bulltamer

|Theme |
» Diablo Rojo

|Gimmick |
» After many twists and turns in character over the years, Marco has settled into the role many say he is best at: the stalwart, steady hand near the top of the midcard, forever in the hunt for the main event. It is said Marco has the heart of a bull and takes twice the punishment to put down. At least, that's what his diehard supporters in the AWE's latino fanbase would have you believe. To his detractors, Marco Rivera exists for two reasons: to put over whomever Roderick Quinn's new experiment happens to be, and to eternally nip at the heels of the AWE's poster boy and undoubtedly Marco's most storied rival, Drayden. Marco lost his mask to Drayden in one title match. In another, Marco was placed on the shelf for several months after being on the receiving end of a Burning Hammer. This eternal rivalry has seemed to seep into every aspect of Marco's character work, and it has defined his career in America.

|Face or Heel |
» Face

|Backstage Rep |
» If one thing can be said for Marco Rivera Salazar, it is that he is AWE to the very bones. After abandoning the nepotistic politics of Mexico and nearly destroying himself touring Japan and the American Independent Circuit, the Flying Bull has found a home and made his name in the AWE for the past decade, doing whatever was in his power for the Quinn family whenever he was called upon.

Until recently.

No one seems to know just what has gotten into Marco in the past months, but everyone agrees that something is off about the former luchador. Some say years of playing Intercontinental Champion to Drayden's World have finally gotten to him, or that the approach of age and massive turnover behind the scenes has caused the Mexican superstar to fear for his position in the company. Maybe both. But Marco knows all too well that time is running out for him to have one final run at the top of the card, and it has lit a fire in him unlike any since he first left Mexico.
