Rocky

Real Name: Kurt Ridgeway

Hometown: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 240 lbs.

Entrance Theme: "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin

Entrance:

A soft chime is heard over the speakers, followed by an electric guitar riff, the crowd erupting into cheers as Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin hits. Two golden pyrotechnics shoot off from either side of the BarTron, flying forward and forming an X, leaving a trail of golden dust that completely obscures the entrance ramp. After a bit, a silhouette of a tall figure is seen behind the golden mist. At that moment, the ending part of the chorus is screamed across the sound systems.

I AM THE SHADOW ON THE WAAALL!!!
I'LL BE THE ONE TO SAVE US AAAAL!!!

With precise timing exactly when that is over, Rocky emerges from the cloud of golden sparks to get a huge pop from the fans. With that trademark cocky grin of his, Rocky strides down the ramp, giving high fives to the fans along the edge of the barricades. As he reaches the ring, he slides underneath the bottom rope and into the ring.

In-Ring Style: Submission/Grappler, mostly concentrating on opponent's arms

Trademark Move: The Jackhammer, also known as the original Avalanche, a move that he made famous in the BTWF

Signature Moves:

Archetype Cutter Mark I: This is Rocky's major signature move seeing as this is based on his faction as well. First, Rocky grabs his opponent's left wrist with his own left hand and quickly puts them into a Hammerlock. Now, Rocky is standing facing his opponent who is bent forward with their arm in a Hammerlock. Then Rocky flashes his trademark grin to the crowd. Rocky then lifts his free hand right up in the air with one finger out, standing for Mark One. He then swings that free arm towards his opponent's bent head and captures him as if going for a Twist of Fate with a Hammerlock. But at the last second, Rocky drops as his arm reaches his opponent's neck with an explosive Stunner.

Locomotion: Basically a Front Snap Suplex to German Suplex to Northern Light Suplex (Usually with a bridge). What happens is, Rocky puts his opponent in a Front Facelock and hits a Snap Suplex. He then rolls his hips and brings his opponent to their feet still in the Suplex Position. After the groggy opponent is up, he quickly slides to the back before hitting a German Suplex. He keeps the waistlock as he brings his opponent to their feet. He then quickly slips to their front and hits of a Northern Light Suplex to end the combo Rocky usually bridges it.

Back to Back Elevated Hammerlock

Destined Day: Axe Kick

Ridgeway Affect: (Last Resort) A Crucifix Powerbomb DDT. Rocky uses this when he has no other option to seal the victory. Rocky bends a victim over and grabs the victim around the waist. He then lifts the victim up so they are over the his shoulder. From there, Rocky places both their arms under the arms of the victim and extends their arms out as far as they can. Rocky pulls down on the victim's arms/upper body, flipping the victim's body over so they are falling face first towards the mat. On the way down, Rocky hooks the victim's head in a front face lock and falls to the mat, driving the victim face/head first in a deadly fall into the mat.

Finishers:

Eighth Wonder: Rocky quickly knees a dazed opponent causing them to bend forward. He then puts them in a Front Facelock before lifting them up in a clean Vertical Suplex Set-up. At times, he keeps them in that position, stalling to let the blood rush to their heads but usually executes the move fast. From there, he lets them slide down and plants them in a Powerbomb from a Vertical Suplex set up. But unlike most Suplex Powerbombs, this one is done very neat and he lands his opponent on their necks/upper-back than squarely in the back. Rocky doesn't stall as he executes this move with high speed but not clumsy. (Suplex Powerbomb)

Anguish Armbar: The opponent is lying on his stomach on the floor. Rocky first gets onto his opponent's back and digs his left knee into the victim's spine, so that he is kneeing on the opponent's back. With Rocky's right leg, he hooks the vitim's right arm and pulls back, applying pressure on the shoulder using his leg muscles. Then with the left knee that was dug into his vitim's spine, Rocky shifts it to his side so that he is lying on the side of his left thigh on his opponents back. With that left knee, Rocky puts it against the arm that is hooked so that when he pulls back on the arm with his right leg, the vitim's arm would be put against his left knee. So basically, his right leg is pulling back on the victim's arm where as the left knee is pushing out. From there, Rocky applies the crossface onto the victim's neck and applies more pressure to the shoulder.

The RWD (RidgeWay Drop): A very difficult move for someone his size to execute but practice gives Rocky the edge in this one. Basically what happens is,Rocky's opponent is standing in the middle of the ring, dazed from a move before. Rocky then runs from behind his opponent to the ropes that his opponent is facing. As he reaches those ropes, Rocky springboards off and flips in air as if going for a Lionsault. But in the apex of the aerial move, after he finishes the flip and is about to land, he grabs his opponents head with both hands and lands a Edge O'Matic to the back of their head.

Gimmick: After being out a month on back injury, Rocky has come back into the BTWF more focused than ever. He has been working on several new styles of wrestling in his leave and its safe to say that he was pretty successful. Rocky mixes the intense mat based, technical style with the explosive risktaking and highflying style. Sure, people his size don't usually climb the turnbuckles but he has practiced several aerial moves for a while now. In his case, practice made perfect. Though Rocky is still the same cocky and confident Face. Usually stays cool and serious in a match however.
