$ Gimmick: A second generation wrestler, Theo King Jr. has big expectations surrounding him, all of which he plans to exceed. He grew up rich, living off of the money his father had made from wrestling in the seventies and eighties, and this has turned him into a very privileged and arrogant man with a limited worldview. Hearing stories of how much of an icon his father is to the tri-state wrestling scene, Theo Jr. decided that he would capitalise on the family name and the 'birth-given talent' he has from Theo Sr. by becoming a wrestler himself. Theo Jr. has endured the finest wrestling training money can buy and believes he was born for the big stage, which is where he finds himself now as he plans to follow a different path to his father and overshadow the legacy he left.

NOTES$ His father, Theo King Sr., was an icon in the tri-state area professional wrestling scene during the wrestling boom of the seventies and eighties. He was known for his stunning lariat, which Theo Jr. has adopted. Nowadays, Theo Sr. lives happily retired in the King family home, being perpetually disappointed by Theo Jr.'s life decisions.
$ Theo likes to show off his wealth and expensive lifestyle with flashy designer clothing and jewellery whenever he's on screen. He wears several gold chains to the ring, which he often uses as weapons in order to get an advantage over his opponent.
$ He has an entourage (made up of his friends and paid-for security) that follow him around backstage, hyping him up and eating all the food in catering.
$ Due to his upbringing, Theo isn't the most self-aware person. He often speaks without thinking and isn't understanding of other people or their struggles. Calling him 'selfish' would be an understatement. His obliviousness can lead to him annoying people or becoming a comedy character on screen.
