Subject: GRAHAM BAKER - POST CIVIL WAR. September 12th 2020, 11:26 pm
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
BASIC INFORMATION Wrestling Name: Graham Baker Picture Base: Mark Davis. Current Nicknames: Gaijin Kaiju, "Guillotine", The Corsair Killer, Big Business. Height: 6'0" Weight: 230 lb. Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by way of London, England.
CHARACTER INFORMATION Disposition/Alignment: Heel. Gimmick: Frustration boils over, and when you fall to the bottom, you need to work your way back up. Graham Baker's gone back to basics in the time after Civil War. He's looked at his methodologies, his tactics, his alliances...and he's called in old friends and supports. He's going to rebuild the world in his desired image, with his own two hands, whether or not his benefactors get on the fucking path. Baker is a no-nonsense shit-talking scumbag, and views himself as that-by-which-all-others-are-measured. He will kill the world if he feels it doesn't stack up.
RINGSIDE INFORMATION Theme Music: "Panther Like A Panther (Miracle Mix)" by Run The Jewels.
The lights go down, a spotlight hits center-stage, and 'Panther Like a Panther' plays out, as Baker makes his way down to the ring with a cocky smile on his face, clad in a t-shirt from one of his many wrestling companies, allies, or adversaries. and a pair of trunks, kneepads, and boots. He flips off the crowd as they show him some heavy vitriol. Baker cracks his neck as he steps up onto the apron, before pointing to the announcer to begin his introduction. He steps into the ring as it starts.
"Fighting tonight out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...weighing in at two-hundred and fifty-pounds...he is the Gaijin Kaiju...CACZilla..."GUILLOTINE"...GRAHAM...FUCKING...BAKER!"
Baker takes in the crowd's boos, hands off two middle fingers, before slipping his mouthpiece in and settling into a corner of the ring.
MOTIVATIONS What are your character’s motivations for competing?: Fuck You, Got Mine: Graham Baker represents himself first and foremost. He's a nasty prick with a mean streak, and now that he's gotten tired of eating dog shit time and time again in OWA on behalf of one Noah Reigner and some gangly Corsairs, he's gonna get what's been coming to him-in this case, the GOLD. He wants to win, and it doesn't matter what it takes or how greasy he has to be to get there.
Tendency to Cheat: Choose from these options: Often and when he won't get caught. He's not stupid, but he's willing to bend the rules as much as they will.

-- Common Moves: Minimum ten (10) 1. Suplexes - Graham Baker's suplexes are the most dangerous part of his arsenal, but they're not as refined as they used to be. Baker's been inclined to give up form for function, so he'll usually hit a German or a Snapped Suplex or a Dragon Suplex to spike an opponent on their head and set them up for something else. Real head-droppy brutal shit, y'know? 2. Kicks - Baker utilizes his legs and speed to do major damage to an opponent, especially when combined with his lariats and other arm-based offense. Roundhouse, hook, switchblade, back-heel, superkicks, and dropkicks fill out his arsenal, with other variations coming to use as they're applicable. Baker often combines kicks to set opponents up for his devastating Half Life Bomber lariat. 3. Knee Strikes - Much like his legs, Baker's knees also provide some crippling offense. Whether drilling an opponent with a bicycle or single leg knee strike, or driving his knee into an opponent's skull repeatedly, Baker likes to keep variety with how he manhandles the people he finds himself in the ring with. His knee strikes are the crux of his snap-offense, and often his go-to counters when nothing else seems to be working. 4. Arm-based offense - Elbows, forearms, lariats, punches, chops, slaps, the whole nine and then some. Baker's got some tree-trunk ass arms and he's not afraid to use them to welt the shit out of any opponent unfortunate enough to come across him in the Squared Circle. Most often, he'll use combinations of chops, slaps, and strikes to soften an opponent up for one of his killing blows. 5. Short-range stiff strikes - If an opponent finds themselves too close for comfort, or Baker finds himself in an uncomfortable situation, he'll often respond with barrages of stiff strikes such as headbutts, forearms, punches, slaps, and kicks. These barrages are usually combinations of his other offense, but to greater effect. Often, he'll end a sequence with a headbutt or a particularly gunshot-like chop to take an opponent down for good. 6. Powerbomb Variants - Much like with the suplexes, Baker will hit a good variety of powerbombs, but it's not much for the looking. Unless going for a specific move to piss someone off or to set up for a specific maneuver, Baker will scoop an opponent up and just drop them with a nasty powerbomb. 7. Submissions and Limb Targeting - Baker has upped his submission game once again, and opted to target the limbs of his opponents with a vicious ferocity. He knows that the easiest way to burn through someone's offense is to rip them to fucking pieces, and he's not afraid to do it. 8. Cruel Shit - Baker will claw at eyes, rake backs, bend limbs and fingers and joints, and really just be a generally cruel and disgusting bastard. He takes his time with most opponents, wanting to wear them down and thoroughly embarass them before killing them dead. 9. Dives and Splashes - Baker's lost a bit of weight, so he's not afraid to go high and use his mass to drive the air out of his opponents. 10. When All Else Fails - Baker's not opposed to desperation tactics, so if an opponent is proving especially difficult to put down, or Baker feels that victory is slipping away, he'll utilize a low blow and a roll-up to put an opponent away for good.
Signature Moves: Minimum of two (2), maximum of five (5) 1. Homeland Killer- After dropping an opponent to the knee, Baker pumps his fist and hits a running corkscrew European Uppercut to the back of a kneeling opponent's skull. 2. Half Life Bomber - Running Pumping Bomber Lariat. Baker can finish a match with two or three of these. 3. Bastard Surprise - Running Bicycle Boot. 4. Closing Time - Front Face Lock Knees to an opponent until they are bloody and bruised, followed up by Baker throwing them away and hitting a gnarly haymaker to the side of their head. 5. Ghidorah Bomb - Running Grappled Spear, scooped up as Baker gets a running start and slammed down, often followed up with ground-and-pound forearms. 6. Corsair Killer - Grounded Single Leg Boston Crab with Repeated Stomps to the Skull until unconscious or submitted. Can finish a match.
Finishing Moves: Maximum three (3) and one (1) optional ultra-finisher (UF) 1. Kaiju's Kiss. - Roaring Elbow hit out of fucking nowhere. Occasionally, Baker will do this out of a ripcord variant for more damage, or hit two back to back. 2. End of Watch - Canadian Lift Backbreaker Rack into a Ganso Bomb/Powerdriver. 3. Insurance Policy - Torture Rack rolled into an STF. 4. Desperation Finisher - Hand Of God - Discus Haymaker which Baker puts all of his energy behind. If he hits it, it's lights for his opponent. If not, then he's probably lost the match. Will only break this out in the most desperate of circumstances. 5. Ultra Finisher - OathBreaker - Grounded submission in which Baker traps the opponent in a grounded one-armed sleeper gripping his own shoulder for leverage, before repeatedly driving his elbow into the back of their head. This will result in a lot of blood and a knockout with relative quickness.
