Wrestler's name: MURDERHOUSE Mick. The all caps is official, and will be corrected otherwise.
Nickname(s): Besides the obvious 'MURDER' related moniker, Mick hasn't picked up any real 'nicknames' yet.
Gimmick: A 'monster heel' shtick that's been tempered and developed in an underground indie environment, rather than a big, polished promotion. So, combining the raw power and frightening attitude of certain Big Red Machines with the sloppy brawling and 'Casual Friday' mindset of certain 'Extreme' federations.
tl;dr, Grunge Jason
Height: 6'10
Weight: 312 pounds
Hometown: Mick insists that he's billed from 'The ***damn House of MURDER', but he's got one of those 'everywhere' accents, that combined with the quiet nature of his voice makes it hard to identify just where he's from.
Alignment: Heel. Heel heel heel.
Pic Base: Mick Thompson. Please, only pictures of him that are masked. Also, try to find pictures that minimize the man's truly wild beard.
Trivia: I made 'MURDERHOUSE' Mick many years ago and felt I'd have to shelf him because his appearance was so specific that surely I couldn't find anything close to a likeness, could I? Jason doesn't have any hair, hockey players are too small, Casey Jones from the first Turtles movie just looked too 'soft' and the mask didn't fit him quite right, and I figured Mick was just going to have to be shelved.
Years later I find out that there's a guy who looks almost EXACTLY like Mick should look, and his name is also Mick to boot. Is this a small world, or is this a small damn world?
Appearance: Mick is a big, powerfully built man. Long black hair going to about his shoulders, and just a physically massive frame, although that's just in comparison to the common every day man. By himself he almost looks 'lean' for his frame and his arms almost don't look impressive until they're lined side by side with Joe Public's. His skin is white, with a slight tan to it. Nothing very impressive at all. Though many details of his face aren't known due to that mask, it is known that his eyes are green, and that on his left arm is a strand of barb wire tattooed in an upward spiral, until it starts at a yellow smiley face, almost perfectly on the side of the shoulder. This seems to be his only ink.
Attire: In terms of pants he seems to favor either jeans that are ripped or have holes in them(not pre-ripped, but likely worn in from use and constant abuse), and cargo/camo pants. The latter he seems to favor more in No DQ matches where he can hide more weapons inside them.
Boots are always heavy duty and black workboots, but in No DQ matches he's more likely to have them be steel-toed.
Usually fingerless gloves with just enough padding to not bust his own knuckles. Padding for the person he's punching is tellingly absent
Shirts are almost always sleeveless, either band or NCW shirts or blank ones, or perhaps that of a faction he's a part of. It's not uncommon for this to be ripped away in the course of a match, or at least damaged. It's also not uncommon for him to be wearing flannel backstage or when not seeing any action. He won't usually wear this in junction with his elbow pads, particularly because...
His right elbow pad is a massive monster that would surely snag anything long-sleeved. It's a horrendous combination of steel and rubber, designed to protect his arm, yes, but also unfortunately lends a sickening weight to any strike or clothesline. and unfortunately for the opposition, that's usually how it's used. He has a left elbow pad, but it's normal and just used to keep his joint safe. It's not quite the monster his right is.
And finally...his hockey mask. He actually has a few of these, and in a few varieties. Regular white ones, black ones, ones with intricate designs...he is a pro wrestler at the end of the day, showmanship is somewhere in their blood.
Theme Music: "Man In The Box", by Alice in Chains
Common Entrance: Mick's entrances are simplicity at their finest. Like a shark he just beelines straight to the ring, though if he's first to the ring, he'll be slower, a -bit- more methodical as he's getting his head in the game.
If someone else is in there, though, and if he has a fraction of an opening, he's gonna go after them. Screw the bell, he's gonna go for blood. I'm serious.
Special Entrance: Basically the common Entrance, except he interacts a bit more with fans. It should be noted here, that he's not gonna be hostile with people booing him.
But he's going to be very passive aggressive, and same with the fans cheering them. He especially likes to snatch things from them(cups of beer, sunglasses, signs), and either break them or throw them on the ground or something. He's a dick.
Primary Style: Power Brawler. He's rather ugly in what he does, but extremely direct and brutal. He's got no formal training in boxing, but his punches are damn staggering, and sure to floor any non-tough guy. It should be noted that he's a somewhat sloppy wrestler when it comes to technical, scientific wrestling. He's rather loose with suplexes and slams, and any submission hold will be the most basic and done entirely out of desperation. Or exhaustion.
Probably exhaustion, actually.
Secondary Style: Hardcore. The man is really, truly devious when it comes to weapon usage. One time, using light-tubes, some c4 and a few other things, Mick actually made a pogo-stick. And used it when he jumped off of the top of a cage to land on some guy on the bottom. Nobody won that match, it was horrible.
Favorite Moves:
Punches
Short-Arm Clotheslines(taking special advantage of that right elbow pad)
Tackle(Not quite a spear, this usually slams him and the opponent into something. Turnbuckles, steel steps, the ropes to land them both outside...he never just does a tackle by itself.)
Lowblow(At least one good groin kick a match, nothing more than that. Just enough to send a message.)
Ground'n'Pound(While he's not an MMA guy by any stretch of the imagination, he really loves to continue the offense by trying to turn the other guy's face into mulch.)
Headbutt
Throat Thrust(In the rare occasion he encounters someone much larger than himself, he'll start fighting smart, and taking out the guy's windpipe is fighting pretty smart!)
Chopblock(Just like above)
Suplex Throw(This is nicknamed such by fans because it's quite a sloppy vertical suplex, in fact, Mick doesn't fall or land with the opponent, just sort of shrugging them off his shoulder and not caring how they land, or where.)
Top Rope Choke(When the opponent is against the turnbuckle, or just draped against the ropes, Mick loves to turn them around, and lay their throat across that top rope. The hockey masked horror than uses his massive strength, pushing on the back of their head and choking them with that top rope. Usually he pushes them so far down that the top rope touches the middle, and when the ref counts to four, Mick likes to immediately let go and let gravity launch them away. Devious indeed.)
Big Dropkick(This should only ever be used in huge, enormous matches where everything is on the line, and where Mick is absolutely desperate.)
Enziguri(Just like the above. In fact, any big 'kick' move except for toe-kicks and stomps are primarily dusted off against huge gigantic opponents, or title shots/defenses.)
Trademark Move(s) and Description(s):
London Bridge(Landing a mean scoop slam, Mick walks backwards until his back hits the ropes, where he lazily 'rebounds', jogs over to the opponent laying in the middle of the ground, and lands a falling headbutt, usually to their shoulder, or wherever he's been attacking.
Snuff the Rooster(Mick gets the opponent in a front headlock, and uses his height advantage to purposely lift them UP to their tippy toes in an illegal choke. When the ref counts to four, that's when he drops down in a sudden Snap DDT. In No DQ matches, he'll hold this as long as he damn well pleases, and may use it as a submission. If so, then this will count as a finisher.)
Headcheck(This can also be referred to as 'getting your head checked out', particularly by any color/colour commentators. When Mick has the opponent in the corner, he'll suddenly and abruptly back away a few skips, before 'cranking' his arm slightly. What follows is a full-speed blitz toward the guy before that forearm/elbow area is driven right into the face/dome of the guy. Already a malicious maneuver consider his weight and power advantage, but taken to new levels when that elbow pad is factored in...)
Good Things Come In Threes(Essentially, three backdrops in a row. He usually rolls him and the opponent to their feet until the third. Also, the first two are usually basic backdrops, though heavy on impact. The third, he changes angles and lands something akin to a side/back suplex, just something real punishing.)
Finisher(s) and description:
Cemetary Gates '97: Basically a Chokeslam, though some would call it a 'driver' of some kind. There are some reasons for this.
-Mick lifts the opponent as high as they'll go, often jumping into the air with them in a way he hardly ever does with any other move.
-Mick then uses all of his might and is assisted by gravity to drive the opponent's shoulders, neck and the back of their skull into the mat all at the same time, rather than a person landing flat on their back from the standards chokeslam.
Whether a slam or a driver, what is agreed upon is that they probably aren't getting up from that. No sir!
MURDERDRIVER: In the rare occasion that someone kicks out from a Cemetary Gates '97, Mick has to pull out the big guns. This is one of those big guns, and sure to be the final nail in anyone's coffin. It starts out like an Oklahoma Slam, with Mick lifting the opponent over his shoulder, and running full tilt to slam their back into the turnbuckle. He turns and...runs even faster toward the opposite turnbuckle, almost 'leaping' before the slam like it's some sort of demented Stinger Splash. After this, he turns around, walks/staggers out to the middle of the ring...and sits out, driving their head into the mat, or the chair/barbwire/whatever else has been laid out for them. And if that's not enough, or if he's facing someone he actually cannot lift, well then...
MURDERSPLASH: Well then, it's time for the MURDERSPLASH. Nothing fancy here, it's a plain ugly splash from the top rope, aided by the fact that this is a three hundred and twelve pound man coming down on you. He actually can get some good distance and air for this move, but if he's pulling it out, it's because there's nothing else he can do, save for going weaponcrazy.
