CHARACTER SYNOPSIS
WRESTLING STYLE:
Technician/Catch
CHARACTER ANALYSIS:
Shane is not a subtle man. Despite being young, Holliday already finds himself as a rather outspoken individual, not at all shy about letting his mouth run. To say he has an abundance of confidence would be an understatement. Though sometimes his mouth tends to get him in trouble, Shane believes he has all the tools of becoming a major player early in the wrestling game. Filled to the brim with both charisma and in-ring talent, Holliday is the human embodiment of faith in oneself. A legitimate athlete with legitimate super model sex appeal, SHolliday could be described as an adonis both in physical display and in in-ring dominance in regards to his strength. However, he doesn't take himself too seriously - Shane loves word play and has more of a laid back, care free attitude to accompany his seemingly endless amount of catchphrases. He also can be a bit sleazy with women, but not because he lacks game, but moreso from the amusement he gets from their responses.
STRENGTHS: (minimum of 1, maximum of 3)
1. The Gift of Gab - Shane is an expert at working the microphone, and his charisma has helped him win over the fans of any wrestling crowd he's been in front of. He's highly charismatic, a catchphrase machine, and better yet he's able to use his words to get into the minds of his opponents.
2. 'Freakazoid Strength' - Shane Holliday is not exactly the 'biggest man' : sure, 230 lbs. isn't a terrible stature, and 6'1" is a moderate height, but overall, he's not exactly a goliath, or at least he's not moreso intimidating than any other man you may find on the roster. However, what Shane lacks in making himself stand out physically (other than his legitimate super model good looks) is his strength and ability to throw men around the ring, deadlift them, whatever you wanna name - a man of Shane's size should not be manhandling the competition the way he does.
3. Technical Prowess - This one is somewhat self explanatory by the title, but Shane is a master of technical wrestling ability. Submissions, split second reversals, joint manipulation - SHolliday can do it all, and he can do it with ease. A man as young as him should not be as skilled as he is, yet here we are.
FLAWS: (minimum of 1, maximum of 3)
1. 'The Admiration Fallacy' - Shane can sometimes let himself get too caught up in trying to put on a show, as his goal in his young age is to stand out as much as possible in the ring so he can get noticed by the big dogs. However, being still early in the game, this has the potential to cost him dearly.
2. 'The Glass Ceiling' - Another concept that somewhat hinders Shane more mentally than anything is the idea that he consistently has to prove himself. With him only being so far into his wrestling career, he doesn't wanna plateau early on. Therefore, he views every match as an opportunity to push his boundaries and see where he lies on the food chain. However, this mentality also causes him to sometimes stress in late match situations, which can lead to mistakes.
RELATIONSHIPS:
n/a
ENTRANCE THEME:
"Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
Shane walks out on the stage, popping the collar of his black jacket while looking out at the fans with a huge grin on his face. Toothpick in his teeth and shades over his eyes, Holliday makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans in attendance as he does so. He hops up on the apron by his knee, then hoists himself up to a standing position. Holliday enters through the middle rope, taking an opportunity to playfully taunt to each section of the audience as he awaits his opponent.

BIOGRAPHY
Shane, another graduate of Ice Jones' Wrestling Academy in Miami, Florida, is just starting out in the world of wrestling - Black Sabbath Wres, the developmental territory for meteoric rising wrestling company ALPHA, is his genesis. A man who's confidence in himself can often cross over into cockiness, Holliday is a catchphrase machine and prides himself on his word play. There isn't much to say about him in regards to his journey here in the wrestling world, as his career is still in it's infancy. However, one thing is for sure - this is a young man to keep an eye on. Anything else you need to know about this man this early on can be found out via either his gimmick description or by watching him in the ring.
