Will's Wild (Fire Pro) World [Edits, Rings, Arenas, Etc.)

Leader: "Dastardly" Darrik Davies
Promotion: European Wrestling Union
Hometown: Blackpool, England

Finisher/Signatures: Dastardly Lock (Reverse Viper Hold), Taichi Style Gedo Clutch, High Jump Facebuster, Final Cut, Jumping Elbow Drop

Attires: (4-1, going left to right: Double blue, Double Green, Yellow/Brown, Double Purple)
Bio: The Worst of All Time. The Dastardly One. Darrik Davies was, at one time, a promising student of Bobby Donnelly's in the Donnelly Dungeon in Ireland. In fact, he was in the same class as Will Craddock. Citing "attitude problems", though, Davies was kicked out of the academy and has held a grudge against not only Donnelly, but his way of teaching wrestling, his style, and anyone associated with him since. He came to SHTCW:a with a point to prove but struggled in his early goings. He would, though, find his footing and has come to lead "Dastardly, Inc." in this new reboot of SHTCWA. He will not win via, say, an incredible amount of power or technical prowess, but by getting his opponents off their game and cheating his way to a cheap victory.



"The Dirty One" El Gringo Fantastico
Promotion: Horrorshow Wrestling
Hometown: Mexico City, Mexico

Finisher/Signatures: Rotten Piledriver (Danshoku Driver), Big Fire, Gringo Special (Spinning Backbreaker), Bite, Ategai

Attires: (1-4, going left to right: LA Chargers homage
, Minnesota Vikings homage, Seattle Seahawks homage, Green Bay Packers homage)
Bio: El Gringo Fantastico is a—well, he's a gringo. Not much is known about his personal life, but Fantastico had been working the independent circuit in Mexico for quite some time before he started making appearances in SHTCW:a. His gimmick was that of "the anti-luchador luchador", a masked man who wanted nothing to do with high-flying and used cheap tactics to try and ground his opponents and actively stop fans from having fun. That hasn't translated to great success, but with this recent reshuffling of the SHTCWA Fantastico has focused his attention more so upon the violent side of things and hopes to find success with Horrorshow Wrestling.



Johnny Throwback
Promotion: European Wrestling Union
Hometown: London, England

Finisher/Signatures: Smith Special, Ground Octopus Hold, Schoolboy Suplex, Avalanche Double Arm Suplex

Attire(s): (3-1, going left to right, 4th attire tracksuit/suit coming soon: Crystal Palace clash kit-inspired, Crystal Palace home-inspired, Crystal Palace white-inspired)
Bio: The London Lad. The Southwark Suplex Machine. Johnny Throwback may only be in his mid-20s, but the big beefy south-side Londoner grew up in a rough-and-tumble area and took to bare-knuckle boxing at a young age. That was when he was noticed by Earl Grey, one of England's most renowned wrestlers of all time. Under the tutelage of Grey, Throwback dropped the bare-knuckle boxing and took up wrestling. He learned all he could from Grey, but one of Grey's greatest strengths as a mentor was knowing how to utilize a talent's strengths—and Throwback's size is definitely one of his strengths. So he went abroad to America to study amateur wrestling and returned to England equally as dangerous in his ability to throw an opponent around the ring as he was to tie them up into a human pretzel. Throwback is a new signing as of the SHTCWA initiative and could be a breakout star in the European Wrestling Union.





TAG TEAM: Machismo and Machisma
Promotion: Intergalactic Wrestling Consortium
Machismo: Hometown: Cancun, Mexico

Finisher/Signatures: Machismo Press (Corkscrew Shooting Star Press), Machismo Drop (Tornado Slam), Jackknife Powerbomb, Stretch Muffler Hold, Grinding Huracanrana

Machisma: Cancun, Mexico
Finisher/Signatures: Clutch Facebuster, Reverse Firebird Splash, Big Body Bomb, Stretch Muffler Hold, Grinding Huracanrana
Attire(s): Double Blue/White, Blue/Pink, Teal/Black/Yellow, Black/Purple/White
Bios: The tag-team specialists for Dastardly, Inc., Machismo and Machisma are two vets of the lucha scene in Mexico who have found themselves more frequently featuring for the SHTCWA in the past few years. Both competitors share the same desire to show off just how manly and strong they are, and will take any chance they get during a match to prove it—sometimes to their detriment. Regardless, both Machisma and Machismo have an incredible amount of athletic ability for their size as luchas. Both frequently take to the sky and can hang with some of the best high-flying luchas going in SHTCWA.


"The Millenial Falcon" Shou Saito
Promotion: NEO PURORESU 20XX
Hometown: Hokkaido, Japan

Finisher/Signatures: Pump Handle Driver, Shining Wizard, Super Diving Foot Stomp, Endless German Suplex

Attires:
Yellow Base, Teal Alternate, Japanese Flag Alternate, Japanese Flag Inverted
Bio: A promising young prospect in the Japanese independent scene, the "Millenial Falcon" Shou Saito has quickly risen up the ranks in popularity after a series of matches with Denji Sonoda in recent months. The hard-hitting Saito is a no-nonsense throwback to a more traditional "strong style" of wrestling and utilizes stuff kicks and chops to brutalize his opponents. Since coming to STHCWA, Saito has been a bit inconsistent—his middling performance in the Royal Destiny tournmanet a perfect example, but he can constantly be relied upon to put on a hard-hitting, solid match and may be Dastardly, Inc.'s best chance at capturing gold.

Leader: Milkshake Jones
Promotion: NEO PURORESU 20XX
Hometown: 1970s New York City, USA

Finisher/Signatures: Blackfist To the Future (Uraken Strike), Blackfist to the Future (Irish-Whip Counter Uraken), Pendulum Bomb, Rolling Kesagiri Chop, The Worm

Attires:
Powder Blue/Pink, Inverted Pink/Powder Blue, Teal/Purple, Inverted Purple/Teal
Bio: A no-nonsense beat cop from 1970s Brooklyn, Milkshake Jones was partnered with 'A LADY COP WHAT IS THIS', Midnight Brown. The two formed a reluctant partnership that was going well until one night during a seemingly routine shakedown of a perp that perp dropped a strange amulet. Milkshake picked it up and when he awoke he found himself in present day, along with Midnight Brown. On the side he'd always done odd jobs: bouncing, bodyguard, even taking some dirty jobs here and there. So wrestling seemed a natural fit for the towering, muscle-bound Milkshake. And it seemed that SHTCW:a had the answers. Along the way to trying to figure out how and why he was no longer in the 1970s, Milkshake Jones formed a tag-team with Midnight Brown and found himself as a tag team champion thanks to the help of the amulet.

On the fateful day that changed SHTCWA's history, though, that amulet shattered, and he has been unable to find Midnight Brown ever since. He wishes the best for her, but he has refused to dwell on it, and taken this as a sign that maybe this is really his life's calling. With the new SHTCWA Midnight Brown has declared himself the leader of "Hustle 'n Muscle", a "COLLECTION OF THE BUFFEST, MOST FLY BROTHERS 'N SISTERS IN ALL OF THE SHTCWA"—his words. He is laser-focused on running with this newfound momentum and confidence and becoming a breakout, solo star.





TAG TEAM: The Bulk Bros. (Beef McHugeBulk & Broham)

Broham: Finisher/Signatures: Bionic Elbro (Bionic Elbow), Rolling Lariat, Hurricane Slam/Olympic Slam, Murder Backdrop, Just Face Lock

Beef McHugeBulk: Attires:

Broham: Attires: (4-1, left to right: Wolfgang Amadeus Brozart [Mozart tribute], John RamBro [Rambo tribute], Brodin [Odin, norse God tribute], ABroham Lincoln [Abraham Lincoln tribute])
Bios: Beef McHugeBulk and Broham, the bulkiest bros in all of brofessional wrestling. Beef is a semi-retired PROFESSIONAL MALE DANCER, not stripper, who was discovered by a promoter of a local Las Vegas-based promotion several years ago who took to wrestling easily. His natural charisma and "look" made him a hot commodity in the local scene before he was approached by SHTCWA. The story is much the same for Broham, the biggest bro in brofessional wrestling who indeed lives up to every stereotype you would think of when you see his name—except his wrestling fandom also peaked at the Attitude Era and one can see it in his in-ring mannerisms. The two talents were doing relatively okay as singles competitors in SHTCW:a, but both needed a shakeup and were put together as The Bulk Bros. Unfortunately for them they haven't fared much better since but are hoping the revitalization of SHTCWA means a revitalization for their chances at tag-team gold. 



"The Beth in the World" Beth Excellent
Promotion: European Wrestling Union
Hometown: Petaluma, California, USA

Finisher/Signatures: Excellent Armbreaker (Standing Cross Armbreaker), Rapid Dragon Suplex Whip, Anaconda Vice, Hanged/Rope Hanging Neck Figure Four, Falling/Top Rope Cross Armbreaker

Attires:
Pink, Blue, Jade, Rose Gold
Bio: The Beth in the World. The Beth there is, the Beth there was, the Beth there ever will be. Beth Excellent is a former member of the Atomic Blondes, a tag-team with Regan O'Reilly that saw a lot of success in the North-Eastern United States before the two competitors made their way to SHTCW:a and were unfortunately underutilized. Before teaming up with O'Reilly, Excellent was an incredible all-around athlete: the typical overachieving young blonde who excelled at everything from basketball to soccer to academics in general. She gravitated towards amateur wrestling first and foremost, though, and was so good at it she made it onto not only the men's team in high school, but college as well. From there Excellent got into MMA and transitioned into wrestling shortly thereafter. Regan O'Reilly would officially break up the tag-team by beating Excellent to qualify for the Royal Destiny tournament and attack Excellent after the match. Excellent sees this reboot of SHTCWA as a chance to reboot herself and has convinced Milkshake Jones that she Hustle 'n Muscle's best chance at dominating the EWU.

Leader: "Your Comic Book Hero" Will Craddock
Hometown: Pontypridd, Wales

Finisher/Signatures: Death Star Destroyer (Tiger Driver '91), Adamantium Elbow (Final Rolling Elbow), Pontypriddplex (Package German Suplex), Cardiff City Special (Dragon Sleeper), Gwen Stacy's Fall (Top Rope Spanish Fly)

Attires: Ghostbusters-themed, Skeletor-themed, Wonder Woman-themed, Spider-Man themed

Horror Icons: Freddy Krueger-themed, Jack Skellington-themed, Leatherface-themed, Jason Voorhees-themed

Bio: "Your Comic Book Hero", "The Welsh Wrecking Ball", "Mr. 100%"; call Will Craddock what you will, but the undersized, elbow-throwing bearded one is now a veteran in the industry. Craddock started training at the age of only 15 with Bobby Donnelly in his Donnelly Dungeon. He graduated with some struggles and didn't take to the style particularly well. In those fledgling years of his career, feeling stuck in a rut, he moved to Hokkaido, Japan, and was taken under the wing of the legendary Daisuke Sonoda, who at that point in his career had transitioned to becoming the deathmatch icon known as Blood Dragon. Craddock took to the deathmatch style and quickly rose up the ranks of the independent deathmatch scene in Japan. The problem, though, was that scene was relatively small in scope, and Craddock once again found himself reaching his limits. He abandoned the deathmatch style for an amalgamation of what Donnelly and Sonoda had taught him, adapting Sonoda's Dragon Sleeper finishing move as one of his signature moves. He returned to England after working independently throughout Europe and North America with a partner: Nikki Knux. The two of them had met at a show they both worked and hit it off.

Soon they would be the driving forces behind SHTCW:a and trade championships in an on-again, off-again feud that carried much of SHTCW:a's fledgling months of 2017. He would adopt the persona of Red Dragon and be face Knux for the title in a championship vs. mask match where he passed out to the Strangle Hold Alpha and had to be demasked. He would regain the World Championship only to be stripped of it by incumbent owner of SHTCW:a, Charles estlin Oswald, aka CeO. He rightfully demanded that he be given his title shot for a title he "never lost", and is still looking to earn that title shot.

Since then he has competed in AAW, where he was their World Champion for quite some time before his neck was badly injured in a match with Josh Belmonte. In a war with the Harbingers of Death, Craddock returned arguably too soon and took a vicious German Suplex from Silver Demon that left him a crumpled mess once again, possibly forced to retire. Since Craddock has seldom been seen in regular action, aside from a special retirement match for his best friend, Lady Dirtbag.

Since that fateful day, Craddock's body is back to the way it was—the Pontypridd-native is pulling off standing shooting star presses, has started using his old finisher of Gwen Stacy's Fall again. He's also heavily modified his in-ring style to focus more upon the catch-as-catch-can style that he grew up learning from Bobby Donnelly. He is poised to try to stand on the top of the SHTCWA mountain once again.





TAG TEAM: Intergalactic Time Pirates (Crash Mezzanine & Persephone Pollux)
Promotion: Intergalactic Wrestling Consortium
Hometown(s): Outside of Time and Space
Finisher/Signatures: Run-Up Cutter(s), Powerbomb & Neck Drop Combo
Attire(s): Crash: Bounty Hunter, Bounty Hunter Alternate, "Sexy Crash", Rough & Tumble Ready-Action Crash, Persephone: Pilot Suit, Red Planet Persephone, Gold-Plated Persephone, Casual Attire Persephone
Bios: The Intergalactic Time Pirates are—well, exactly as they sound. They are two space pirates outside of both time and space, two intergalactic fighters who find themselves embroiled in the interstellar war to save time and space from the mysterious force that has been manipulating space-time in SHTCWA. They have tracked this mysterious force for eons now and have in the past feuded with the Soul Cops after they warned the duo about the danger inherent to using the mysterious amulet Milkshake Jones had around his neck for his own means. After the amulet broke the Time Pirates are still trying to track down fragments of the amulet and still trying to figure out how to stop this all.



"Chicago's Own" Hellcat Hughes
Promotion: Horrorshow Wrestling
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois, USA

Attire(s): (4-1, going left to right: Chicago Bulls tribute, Vegeta tribute, Chicago flag black variant, Chicago flag tribute)
Bios: Growing up on Chicago's southside, Tamira Hughes got the name "Hellcat" very early in her life, taking on anyone and anything that stood in her way. She gravitated towards wrestling at a very young age and was trained by local hardcore legend "Big Al" Albert Nowak. Not much is known about her outside of that, as she never wrestled a match for SHTCWA, but looks to be poised to be one of the breakout stars for Horrorshow Wrestling.




Nikki Knux
Promotion: NEO PURORESU 20XX
Hometown: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Finisher/Signatures: Mama Said Knock You Out (Force Straight Punch), Final Rolling Elbow, Back Rolling Cross Armbreaker, Rainmaker, Strangle Hold Alpha

Attires: Teal/Black, Black/Teal inverse, Shaved-head era, Rookie-era attire.

Bio: Nikki Knux has proven herself much more to be just the partner of Will Craddock. The B.C. native was originally a standout in both boxing and MMA possesses the most devastating punch in all of the SHTCWA, if not possibly in all of professional wrestling. She is equally as adept at finishing her opponents off with the Strangle Hold Alpha submission move, though, after training from Bobby Donnelly honed her already fantastic submission capabilities. Knux made her name in the West Coast independent wrestling scene in North America before moving to Toronto, Canada, and further solidifying her status as an amazing up-and-comer. She then met Will Craddock and the two took off to Europe, where she would be one of the main focuses of SHTCW:a and hold its World Championship for many months on end in 2017. The title eluded her in 2018, but she was constantly featured high up SHTCW:a's cards and even got heavily involved in Will Craddock and Josh Belmonte's feud in AAW. "Fight Like a Girl" is plastered all over her merchandise and she acts as proof that gender barriers seem to be rather arbitrary considering her incredible punching power and capability and ground-and-pounding her opponents. Knux is a constant threat for the world title.




"The Intergalactic Lucha" Tachyon
Promotion: Intergalactic Wrestling Consortium
Hometown: Outside of Time and Space
Finisher/Signatures: Intergalactic Cutter (Run-Up Back Cutter), Mexican Cutter, Diving Cutter, Eiffel D'Parachute, Twist Cutter/Twist of Fate
Attire(s): Star Attire, Celestial Dust Attire, Star Attire Alternate, Celestial Dust Attire Alternate
Bio: The Intergalactic Lucha, Tachyon is loosely associated with the Intergalactic Time Pirates and helps them on their never-ending quest to fix time and space. At one point the three were nothing more than scoundrels sailing the seas of time and space looking for the biggest bounties they could find, but eventually the three gave in to their hearts of gold and now traverse the celestial planes as guardians of time and space. Tachyon himself is one of the fastest luchas in all of time and space and utilizes a Cutter-heavy offense to mesmerize fans and competitors alike.

Leader: "The Pinch Hitter" Mayday Malone
Promotion: NEO PURORESU 20XX
Hometown: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

Finisher/Signatures: Swing for the Fences (Sliding D Elbow), Suicide Squeeze (Slingblade), Screw Neckbreaker Drop, Rounding the Bases (Double Arm Lock Half Boston Crab), 6-1-9/Boomerang Kick

Attires: New York Yankees homage, 1980s Houston Astros homage, 1980s Pittsburgh Pirates homage, 1960s St. Louis Cardinals homage, 1980s Montreal Expos homage, 1980s San Diego Padres homage, 1980s Oakland Athletics homage, Negro Leagues New York Cubans homage

Bio: "The Pinch Hitter", Mayday Malone is the ultimate underdog story. A story of the girl who was never supposed to be more than a fan-favourite filler talent until one fateful night in a tournament for the vacant SHTCW:a World Championship, she criticaled both CJ Fresh and Charles estlin Oswald on her way to win the World Championship. From there she defended that title with honour and dignity and put on incredible match after incredible match throughout the duration of 2018. She unfortunately lost the title, but regained it to become only the second multiple-time SHTCW:a World Champion alongside Will Craddock. She is the last SHTCW:a World Champion and may indeed be the new World Champion for SHTCWA when it begins again in earnest. Ever the optimist and on a constant lookout for competition, Malone will take on any and all comers and puts away opponent after opponent with her lethal Swing for the Fences Elbow.

, Orville "Lefty" Holloway: Bombs Away (Angled Liger Bomb), Carrying Spinebuster, Stomach Claw, Uproot Belly-to-Back Suplex, Bombs Away II (Double Team Powerbomb/Powerbomb Combo)
Bio(s): Falconer Northwest and Orville "Lefty" Holloway, two ace World War II pilots from, of course, Dayton Ohio, were among the most decorated pilots going during World War II, who in their off-time, competed in their platoon's own independent wrestling promotion. On a standard bombing run both of their ships were shot down, and the two disappeared without a trace. Presumed dead, the Flyboys had actually been mysteriously sucked into some kind of black hole that had transported them to the present day, and ended up in the SHTCW:a. They didn't know what to do other than take up the mantle of a tag-team and maybe figure out if they can return to their normal lives.



"Universe Saviour" Flash the Mighty

Hometown: The Cosmos

Finsher/Signatures: Phoenix Flash (Phoenix Splash), Thrust Dropkick, Side Roll Stunner, Feint Stunner, Split-Legged Moonsault

Attires: (4-1, left to right: White Alternate, Yellow Base, Red Base, Black Base)
Bio: The Universe Saviour, Flash the Mighty! No one knows where Flash the Mighty came from. She simply showed up at roughly the same time as the Intergalactic Time Pirates and claims to be able to save the universe. The high-flying fan-favourite luchador has always been in the LUCHA CROWN's upper-echelon but unfortunately has just fell short of winning the prize.



"The Stuttgart Submission Machine" Marcel Müller
Promotion: European Wrestling Union
Finisher/Signatures: WünderArmbar (Grounded Cross Arm Breaker), DAS BOOT (Two-Step Kick), UBER DAS BOOT (Diving Front High Kick), WünderArmbar II (Stepover Arm Breaker), O'Connor Roll German Suplex
Attires: German Flag trunks, German Flag Tights, German Flag Trunks II, German Flag Bodysuit
Bio: The Stuttgart Submission Machine, Marcel Müller is arguably the most deadly wrestler in all of SHTCWA when it comes to the working an opponent's arm. Still relatively young, Müller excelled in his homeland of Germany for several years until he was discovered by SHTCW:a and brought on to bolster the midcard. He quickly rose to prominence throughout 2017 and 2018 and then won the SHTCW:a World Championship in shocking fashion, only to have it quickly stolen from him by Kemper Tierney, who at the time was in the Crush 'em Committee, Charles estlin Oswald's tyrannous stable. He has not reached that high again since, but constantly puts on fantastic matches and is a threat to recapture that World Championship at any time.
