Wrestler's Wrestling Strategy: Storm uses his power and strength to disable his opponent before swapping to Submissions to tear them apart.
Wrestler's Gimmick: Storm is a bitter, anger-prone man who delights in the misery of others. He has a large chip on his shoulder for never winning "the big one" in any promotion he's in, having been known as the resident choke artist in his debut promotion, the GSB. Storm desires nothing more than to be the top dog, and combined with his twisted personality this creates a dangerous individual with tendencies to manipulate, torture, and aim to injure.

On the same token, however, Storm has a deep insecurity within himself that he does his utmost to mask, but it is this insecurity and the massive expectations he places on himself that drive him to act as he does.

Storm has long been known to have an extremely short temper with an explosive degree of anger. However, having failed on many occasions due to losing his cool and losing control due to frustration, Storm has recently undergone therapy to control his temper. He currently is determined to stay calm, cool and collected as opposed to giving into his rage, but it will be a struggle at times.

Entrance Description: (Be detailed, these will be used in almost every match.)

[i]The lights in the arena completely cut out as a hushed silence born of anticipation falls over the crowd and spotlights scan the entrance ramp.
THERE WILL BE NO STOPPING (oohh-whee)
IT’S WHEN YOU GO HARDER THAN SOMEBODY, MAN
THIS RIGHT HERE (ha), IS DOMINATION (whoo)

The spoken words ring out over the PA system as “Roundtable Domination” begins to ring out throughout the arena and the crowd erupts in boos and the spotlights converge on the large figure of Storm, who has one arm reaching almost straight up and the other bent at a right angle. He then walks purposefully to the ring, ignoring the fans aside from perhaps an occasional insult to a front row audience-goer. Storm reaches the ring and climbs up the steps before stepping through the ring ropes and assuming his position in his corner, completely focused and ready to go.[i]


In-Ring Appearance -
In the ring, Storm wears long black wrestling pants (not tights, but loose-fitting pants) with blue and white lighting running up the outsides of them. The right side has "Storm" intertwined with the lightning. He wrestles shirtless with black elbow pads and wears basic, nondescript black wrestling boots.

Outside of the Ring Appearance -
Storm has spiked up but short cut dirty blond hair. He towers large and is rippling in muscles that relay his strength but hide his deceptive speed. He will typically wear a conservative suit of a black or dark gray color with a similarly conservative shirt (blue, white, dark red, etc) and a tie that matches. Think Chris Jericho’s current out of ring attire.

Signature Moves: (Minimum of 5 moves)

1. Cyclone: Storm wraps his arm around his opponent’s neck from behind and pulls him back so that his bending over backwards. Storm taunts, and then wrenches his arm, causing his opponent’s feet to come off the mat as he twists over. As the opponent’s face is looking at the mat, Storm brings it down in a DDT. This has been made famous as Christopher Daniels' "Last Rites."

2. Thunderclap(Backdrop to Powerbomb): Storm lifts up the opponent from behind, setting him up for a backdrop. Storm, while they are still in the air, then quickly spins around, placing himself so that his opponent's legs are on his shoulders in powerbomb position. He then slams them down as if in a powerbomb. Can be held down for a pin if Storm so chooses.

3.Gale Force: Storm charges at his opponent and goes in low, wrapping his arms around the opponent's thighs and lifting as Storm continues moving. Storm rams the opponent's back into the turnbuckle, and then turns around and slams him down in a sitout Spinebuster.

4. The Eye of the Storm: Storm grabs his opponent as if for a DDT, but instead of snapping down begins to push and walk them towards the apron. With one arm keeping their neck locked, he uses his free arm to grab the midsection and hoist them up to a horizontal base with their legs being supported by the second rope. He then snaps them down for the DDT.

5. Shock Therapy: There are three sets ups for this move.
If the opponent is standing: Storm reaches down behind their legs and yanks them up, causing them to fall on their back. Storm tucks their legs under his arms and begins to turn while standing above their back, twisting their body into a Liontamer..
If the opponent is down: Storm lifts up their legs and places them under his arms. He then turns while standing above their back, twisting them into the Liontamer.
Finally, if the occasion presents itself, Storm will grab his opponents legs as they get slammed down by the Lightning Strike and twist them into Liontamer position.
Note that this is a signature move but was previously finisher for Storm. He has no qualms about locking in Shock Therapy for a submission victory.

Primary Finisher: Lighting Strike
Description: While the opponent is standing up, Storm places his arm across his opponents body and grabs his shoulder, much like the set up for The Rock Bottom or a Sambo Suplex. Storm then shifts his arm down to his opponents waist and places his other hand on his opponent’s back before lifting his opponent up and slamming him down into a spinebuster. As a variation to this move, Storm could perform a sit-out spinebuster as opposed to a normal one, and hook the leg for the pin. This move was described as an "Al Snow Spinebuster" in the early Smackdown! games on the Playstation

Secondary Finisher: Thunderbolt
Description: With the opponent facing him from across the ring, Storm runs at him full speed and throws his whole body into the air, connecting his shoulder with the opponent's midsection as his arms wrap around the opponent's waist. Better known as Rhyno's "Gore

Wrestling Strengths:
Storm is amazingly strong and deceptively quick for his size. He also is fairly adept at quick release moves and has a strong submission/technical wrestling background.

Wrestling Weaknesses:
Though quick for his size, Storm is still a large man and can be easily outmaneuvered by those smaller than him. Additionally, Storm is overconfident at times that can and has lead to his opponent capitalizing. Storm’s anger and frustration have cost him matches in the past as well, though currently Storm seems to be in control of his temper.

Wrestling Achievements:
4 time GSB Tag Team Champion (Record number of reigns, record reign length: 10 months)
GSB Intercontinental Champion (Upper Midcard title)
GSB International Champion (Upper Midcard title)
3-0 on Pay-Per-View (Undefeated)
