Entrance:
The crowd turns to face the entrance. As the stage lamps fade to a dark crimson red, "Onward to Victory" by Ice Pick begins to play loudly out of the arena sound system. The noise is deafening as the crowd begins to cheer.
John Walt: From Saratov, Russia. He is VIKTOR... RUUUUUUUUSLAN!
Stepping through the thick fog that has now surrounded the entrance, Viktor Ruslan steps into view. He is dressed in only a pair black knee length tights, black boots, and white taping over his knuckles. With his eyes open wide, Victor grits his teeth, exposing what looks to be a mouth guard with sharp fangs painted upon it. Jogging in place, Victor then begins to run slowly towards the ring, as fans reach out and slap at his arms and shoulders.
Sliding under the bottom rope, Victor rises to his feet once more, stopping in a nearby corner of the ring and jogging in place. His facial expression is very serious looking, as he runs his tongue along the mouth guard inside of his mouth. Nodding to the referee, Viktor signals that he is ready for action as his theme song begins to fade out.

Back Story:
Viktor Ruslan was born and raised in Saratov, Russia. Born into a poor family. Even without ample funds, Viktor had a pretty good childhood, with a caring family and the best goods their income was able to purchase. His father would pass way early in his life, leaving Viktor the only man left in the family. It then became his responsibility to become the bread winner of a family of 5.
Viktor would then join the Russian Army as a means to bring in income to his family. It was during this time that he would become quite the expert in Sambo, often raising money on the side by performing in underground fight clubs. He would be very successful at this, and his popularity spread quickly throughout the European and Russian regions.
After serving his full enlistment term in the military, fighting then became a way of life for the Russian. Viktor continued to travel across Europe. With his victories becoming legendary, he found himself with a large fan base, this led to his fights being uploaded to Youtube, creating a sensation that spread across the globe. Fan Mail began to pour in to the EUW, begging for the top brass to check out this rising star. After a bit of negotiations, Russia's Champion then found himself heading towards a different battle field.. The EUW.
Strengths and Weaknesses.
Strengths:
Viktor is an intimidating man to look at. His cold stare is easily backed up by his aggressiveness. He is precise, and deadly. Viktor is extremely skilled in Submissions, often adding a twist to them and turning the simplest hold into a limb breaking maneuver. Even more important is that he is much more comfortable on his feet, unleashing devastating strikes at every turn. He is extremely ring smart as well
Weakness:
While it is hard to find a weakness on Viktor, he is hardly superhuman. Viktor's stamina is a clear issue. He tires quickly. He is also a bit of a loner, creating plenty of enemies where ever he goes. If an opponent can survive his onslaught long enough, the match can turn against him quickly.
How to write him?
Viktor is a loner. Plain and simple. He does not waste time playing mind games with his opponents other than physically intimidating them. When in interviews or out of the ring, humor should not be a regular thing involving him. He is not an asshole, but completely focused on the task at hand. He does not care for interviews and will blow through them quickly. Viktor also sees American Wrestling as a baby sport, and carries no respect for it at all.
In the ring, Viktor is a man possessed. He does not back down from anybody at all. He is a completely balanced fighter and due to his fan base, he is seen as a babyface. He will not be the one to shake his opponent's hand, but he refuses to fight dirty at the same time. Have him lead with his fists, they are his best weapons.
Accomplishments:
3 Time European Heavyweight Champion.
5 Time Russian Fightfest Champion.
