WRESTLER'S STATS:

In-Ring Name: Thaddeus Duke

Wrestler's Real Name: Thaddeus Leander Duke II

New to XWF or a returning roster member?: Returning

Wrestler Date of Birth: December 25, 1998

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 223 lbs.

Hometown: Tribeca, New York City

Personality: Cocky, a touch of Arrogance, shows mercy and compassion. Fun loving kid at heart, but emotionally volatile.

Alignment (heel/face/tweener): Face. While not a pure white meat babyface, the XWF Universe seems to love him whether he likes it or not. He doesn't cheat nor does he accept outside interference.

Looks Description: Wears a white leather hooded and sleeveless Lionheart jacket made from his fathers championships as he makes his way to the ring. His short trunks (Shelton Benjamin-ish) are white with a gold band around the waist. His Lionheart logo on his rear accented in black. 4 white hearts (Lauren, Frankie, T.J., Caty) inside the gold band in the front. Knee pads are white accented with black/gold crosses. Boots and shin kickpads are white and trimmed in black/gold with 'THADDEUS' down the length in the front.

White wrist tape.

Ethnicity: White boi

Pic Base: Tom Holland <3

WRESTLING STYLE:

Strengths: He's a naturally gifted athlete and he uses his athleticism to his advantage. He's a well versed ring technician, and does a bit of high flying also. He's quick, energetic, agile, nimble. Everything you'd expect from a guy his size. He's also a masochist. He rather enjoys pain. Taking it, as well as dishing it out. He could be bloodied head to toe, and he'll still come at you with that Thad Duke charming smile. He uses his quickness to thwart brawler attacks. He DOES have a mean streak.

Weaknesses: He won't quit, but he's not trained as a brawler. He's young so a result of that is being a little brash. He'll sometimes act without thinking about it first. That could definitely open him up to counters. Pride is a weakness as well. He's so prideful that if he's trapped in a submission that he can't get out of, rather than tap out and live to fight another day, he'll pass out instead.

Entrance Theme Music: "My Name Is Human" by Highly Suspect

Entrance Description:

Code:
The house lights fall dark with a loud audible snap.  Thad's pet lion, Mufasa, belts out a loud roar and with it, the stage and the ring light up in a dim gold colored lighting.  Mufasa paces the stage as "My Name Is Human" by Highly Suspect plays throughout the stadium to a roar from the XWF Universe.

[pink]RA:  From the Tribeca section of New York City.  Weighing 2 hundred 17 pounds.

THE LIONNNHEARRRRT!

THADDEUUUSSSS DUUUUKE![/pink]

Thad enters the stage with his hood up.  Standing on stage, Thad gives his 'messiah pose' as a triple pyro shot from the top of the X-Tron toward the ring.  When it bursts, it reveals a sparkling golden image of a roaring lion above the ring, bringing cheers from the XWF Universe.

After the pyro bursts, Thad in his custom white leather Lionheart jacket, throws his hood off as he begins down the ramp.  At the bottom, he slaps a few hands before climbing the ring steps.  At the top of the steps he pauses, looking over his shoulder toward the cheering Universe with his sweet smile.

Stepping to the apron, he slingshots himself over the top and into the ring before traveling to all four corners, climbing to the middle rope and sending out the ‘I Love You’ hand gesture to the Universe.

**He's a technician. If there's an ailing body part, he'll target that part. If its a shoulder, he'll work on that shoulder by throwing it into a turnbuckle, a ringpost, he'll do those arm ringers that takes the opponent to the mat, so on. Just an example.

Additional notes: His intent is to always put on a 5 star classic. He will put his body on the line, he's an adrenaline junkie so anything that gets a roar from the crowd, he'll do it.
