Ring attire: Youngblood wears very basic ring attire when wrestling. He wears full-length black tights in the ring with the Youngblood logo on the back of them. His boots are solid black. On his left leg is a knee brace. On the way to the ring, Youngblood wears a black trench coat. Youngblood has a very pale, ashen complexion courtesy of a few bouts with health problems in recent years. He also now sports long, black hair.

Gimmick: A great wrestler of the past and present, the young and cocky Griffin Youngblood is no more. Youngblood's last run with the MCW was cut short while he was at the top of his game after a knee injury unrelated to wrestling. He should have been able to return after only about two months away, however complications arose while he was having surgery on his knee, leading to terrible health problems, details of which have yet to be released. He spent the next six months bedridden and has only recently gotten back into shape. His near death has led to a new attitude for the Hall of Famer. He is now more spiritual both in and out of the ring. He has also fought his demons and has rid himself of problems that he blames for the knee injury. No more "snapping" for Youngblood, he sticks to his technical roots. Once outspoken on camera and in the locker room, Youngblood now prefers to keep to himself.

Hardcore or Technical wrestler: Youngblood has developed a mastery of the technical style and sticks to it. He is very fluid in the ring now, one of the smoothest workers you will see.
