Brett Cross
Brett Cross, weighing in at 336 pounds and standing at 6'10" is an imposing force in EUW. Having had the second longest Pure Title reign in EUW history and the tutalage of EUW Hall of Famer and Two-Time EUW Champion Tom "The Eh" Roberts, Cross is not one to be taken lightly. Brett Cross has a large fanbase that supports him through all of his insanity because of the uniqueness of the gimmick. Brett Cross utilizes a very rough wrestling style in matches, any mix of a powerhouse, brawler, ground and pounder but always within the rules. Any way he can legally beat you up, he can and will exploit. (Unless, of course, it's a hardcore match. Then anything goes. In fact, he's even more vicious in these situations. Weapons are a must, as he's adept at beating you with anything.) Being larger than most of his opponents, he will typically try and utilize the power and size advantage, as well as any multitude of strikes. For Cross - it's fighting first, wrestling second. His strengths are in his immense size and his strength. Conversely his weakness would be his speed, if he was to get caught with "a full head of steam", how he approaches each match and, again, his size. If Cross was to be taken off of his feet, it would be very difficult for him to battle back. And, Cross is not unintelligent in the ring, but is fairly predictable as he doesn't have a vast repertoire of moves (many strikes, many powerful grapples, and only to the top rope if the match type calls for it and its absolutely necessary). Cross' main in ring goal? He just wants to beat you up. |  |
 | Brett Cross keeps things simple with his attire. A pair of black half-tights covers his lower half, adorned with "Cross" in gold on the back. His furred boots and knee pads are also black, with gold runic scripture upon them. His upper body is plain, save for leather bracers stretching from wrist to mid forearm and a necklace with a small replica pendant of Thor's hammer Mjollnir that he takes off for his matches and hangs on the turnbuckle. Outside the ring though, it's not uncommon to see Cross wearing a sleeveless black leather trench coat with fur trim. His physical appearance is much less plain, and far more imposing. Cross is just how you'd expect to invision a more modern day Viking, without the horned helmet. His hair is long, knotted and dark blond and his beard is of the same shade and just as lengthy and thick. His naked upper body is covered with coarse black hair and battle scars, and while the man isn't chiseled, the years at war have put a bit of muscle on him. |
Theme: Hermod's Ride to Hel - Amon Amarth | The guitar intro of Hermod's Ride to Hel begins to blare out of the PA system, htiting hard as pyros go off over the entrance and Brett Cross with the Lionheart title about his waist makes his way out from underneath a waterfall of golden sparks, not wasting any time. As the drums enter, the audience stomps their feet in unison with the rhythm, shaking the entire arena with their cheers. The theme continues as Cross walks swiftly down the ramp, his face full of motivation, his focus nowhere else but the ring. Cross steps up to the ring using the steps and then climbs in over the top rope. Cross extends his arms wide in the middle of the ring in a symbol of the cross and then removes The Hammer Mjollnir from over his neck before kissing it and placing it over the turnbuckle. Then, he slides out of his furred trench coat and tosses it over the ropes. After removing his title belt last, he turns to his opponent while loosening up for the match. |
| Used Most | -> | -> | -> | Used Least |
| Strikes | Grapples | Signature | Submissions | Finishers |
| Cross's knowledge of strikes is substantial and a strength he utilizes often. | Cross also has a large knowledge of grapples and strength-based throws and slams. | Cross doesn't consider many moves he uses "signature" he merely uses these more often. | Submissions are not one of Cross' strengths, and the use of this section is limited. | Cross has only two powerful match-enders. He uses The Hammer Mjollnir 90% of the time. |
