Gimmick:
Reginald Dampshaw III is a snobbish, pompous aristocrat that was born into great wealth and power in the Isle of Wight. His family is known all around Europe as being conniving, arrogant, ruthless people and Reginald is no different. While he seems snobbish and slightly ridiculous, this belies a very dark and sometimes sadistic undercurrent that lives within him and his necessity to conquer everything and everyone.After losing his Spartan Championship at Final Destination 2, Reginald has seemingly gone back to square one. Letting down The New Dawn was not something he had envisioned and while this has made him question himself, his faith in The New Dawn never falters. He knows he has to atone for his sins so Reginald believes his next chapter is that. Whether that atonement happens directly in OWA or elsewhere, remains to be seen.After seeing Kenny Drake die at the end of The Great War in the main event of Civil War, Reginald realized that he had a hand in Kenny's death. This has weighed heavily on Reginald ever since and has caused him to reassess his morals and priorities in OWA. Reginald has said the trauma of seeing Kenny Drake's dead body washed away The Time Lizard out of his soul and now only Reginald Dampshaw III the man remains.
Still Kingdom General Manager, Reginald is now focused on running the best show possible regardless of what Scott Oasis may say as Reginald blames Oasis for the Great War and Kenny's death. After losing to J.D. Damon for the Spartan Championship, Reginald has gained newfound respect for him and the other members of The Frontline.Reginald has fully shed The Time Lizard out of his psyche, and now he feels like he is beginning to pick up the pieces of the destruction he's caused in the last 3 years. Though he feels purified in OWA, there is still a deep, cold fear of what is happening in Wrestleworld and also the possibility of Miltiades stabbing him in the back. Reginald made his shocking return on the July 7th edition of Kingdom, along with two masked men attacking Nathan Fiora. Wile Reginald didn't reveal the identites of the two men with him, he made it clear that the Reginald Dampshaw III that people became familiar with as General Manager, the healing, more level headed version was gone and The Time Lizard has returned, more vicious, more sadistic and more evil than before.
RINGSIDE INFORMATIONTheme Music: 'Jerusalem' by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Special Entrance [Optional]:
The lights go out and soon, and after a few seconds, dark, technical music kicks in."And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen"
Dampshaw slowly comes out, cracking his neck and stretching his arms before walking down the ramp. His long, black and gold robe billowing out under his legs as he walks. Announcer: From Ryde, Isle of Wight, England, weighing in at 225 lbs, he is "The General Manager of Kingdom"...REEEEEGGGGINNNNNALLLD DAAAAMMMMMPPPSSSHAAAWWW III!
"Bring me my Bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold
Bring me my Chariot of fire"
Reginald slowly enters the ring and walks over to a turnbuckle. He climbs onto it and closes his eyes with his arms outstretched. He opens them back up, looking around at the audience before jumping down to the mat. He removes his robe and puts his arm behind his back and raises his other arm high in the air.MOTIVATIONSWhat are your character’s motivations for competing?:
Reginald believes he is the embodiment of all of his ancestors, past and present. All of Reginald's motivations come from his devotion to The New Dawn. He has no morals, no empathy and no love for anyone or anything. His sole purpose is to bring honour to The New Dawn and in their name.Reginald's motivations post Civil War are two-fold. As General Manager, his motivation is to make Kingdom the top rated show in OWA and make sure he always is putting on the highest quality product. As a wrestler, it doesn't matter who he is facing, regardless of their personal alignment, though right now, he is making a point to rid OWA of Havoc and The Ashes of The Wake.
Now a tag team champion, Reginald's motivation is to defend the championships while still keeping his eye on Miltiades. Reginald is still 100% dedicated to running Kingdom, but is also looking forward to facing competition from Olympus and Odyssey. After aiding Jeff X to become OWA World Champion, he hopes that some sins have been forgiven and that the healing and trust from the wrestlers and audience members can begin.While Reginald's motives since returning are unclear, he has made it known that The New Dawn is finally whole and there's nothing that will stop him now.

NOTESDampshaw was born in Ryde, Isle of Wight, England on April 25th, 1987. His family is known throughout England for their Dampshaw Jewellery Co., one of the most successful jewellery companies in the entire world. Because of Reginald's upbringing in a rich, aristocratic family, he is extremely arrogant, snobbish and disrespectful to anyone he deems lower than him. His grandfather and father are both also named Reginald Dampshaw, hence the moniker of III.Finding success early in everything he does, whether it comes to wrestling or life in general, Reginald's lack of dominance in wrestling caused Reginald to seemingly lose his mind slowly. Always proud of his family's legacy as rich, powerful and dominating figures, Reginald is now hearing voices of his long gone ancestors, telling him his ultimate goal is to become a "king" in wrestling, by any means necessary. Reginald is well versed in many styles of wrestling and fighting. Even though he will cheat very heavily, he is an extremely skilled and dangerous technician in the ring. Also, even though he is very snobby and seemingly fey in character, he has a conquering and megalomanic side that manifests in extremely dangerous ways.Reginald will use his technical wrestling skills still as a way of taking down his opponent, but is now starting to use more brutal attacks and submissions, e.g. if he has a person in a headlock, instead of just keeping the hold, now Reginald will bend down to bite the person's face and eyes, trying to blind them.Usually, Reginald was able to contain his more mentally unstable tendencies at times, his psychosis has now become unable to be repressed, spilling out into Reginald manifesting all of his anxieties, insecurities and shortcomings into a omnipresent, omnipotent, immortal being known as The Time Lizard.Reginald will still use dirty tactics in matches as that is what he knows but also relies more on his technical ability. Reginald still has men and women in OWA he dislikes but he slowly is attempting to be more diplomatic in his dealings, though he still on occasion will revert to his "cracked" ways.While it appeared that Reginald was making progress in rehabilitating himself and helping his mental health problems, now it is obvious that he has cracked again, reverting back to his Time Lizard persona and it seems like he's even more dangerous than before.
