(again, would be difficult with larger, heavier opponents. However, this is preferred against lighter opponents. If they are roughly 240lbs, he will be able to manage, but if they are much heavier, he will not use this. Mostly used for opponents at around 230lbs or lower)
Ring Psychology: He will usually not bother with much in the way of psychology. His idea the majority of the time is "the winner of a fight is the one most willing and able to cause some serious pain" rather than someone who gets into his opponents heads. As such, he is not averse to fighting dirty when he has to, and will willingly gouge people's eyes, punch them in the groin, or use a weapon to his advantage. Also, due to his past, as well as a dependence on anti-depressants, he is very numb to a lot of pain, and therefore is capable of taking a huge beating and shrugging it off. As such, he will not back away from a fight, and is more likely to simply charge in and start hitting people.
How should your character be used?
Michael is, for the most part, a very serious man. He is also quite numb, emotionally. He finds it difficult to start friendly relationships with people, as his mood is generally very flat. He does still retain some of his humour, however, in the form of sarcasm. He is a very sarcastic son of a bitch, and a lot of this is directed at his agent, who he hired for the purposes of helping him in the business. He would not count his manager as a "friend" as such, more of an acquaintance, who sometimes bears the full weight of his animosity. Despite this, he does take his advice and listens to him well.
Also, there is a chance he will be a little drunk when out of the ring. He is still plagued by flashbacks and visions of his past, some more traumatising than others. As such, he attempts, like many people with similar issues, to self medicate. This manifests itself as a desire for alcohol during most times of the day. He has also just kicked an addiction to cannabis, which has been difficult, as that too helped keep the nightmares at bay. However, his agent, quite rightly told him he needed to be off all illegal substances by the time he starts wrestling professionally. He will mostly try to remain sober before and during a match, however, this may potentially not always work (something to take note of, eh, match writers?). As such, he may occasionally, but only occasionally be drunk when he enters the ring. This should probably be treat more with sympathy than outrage, and he is still somewhat capable in the ring despite his inebriation, due to the fact his fighting is often done through pure training and reflexes, however, this may still give him a major disadvantage.
Entrance: As Eyes On Fire (Zed's Dead Remix) begins, slow flames burn across a screen covering the entrance to the arena. It continues to burn for a few seconds, before it seemingly splits in two, revealing Michael Snow, who steps through the flames, eyes fixed on the ring. He doesn't do anything fancy, he simply walks at a steady pace, eyes ahead, focused on the match ahead.
As he reaches the ring, he cracks his knuckles and his neck, before rolling in under the bottom rope. Once inside he stands in the centre of the ring, and holds up one fist to the crowd. As he does this, flares shoot up from each corner of the ring, bathing the arena in crimson light.
Bio: Previously was part of the SAS, but was captured and subject to torture for information. He was only held for a week, but that was long enough to cause some serious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He spends a lot of time drinking, and has lost some of the muscle he had in his time wth the forces, but is still relatively fit and capable, and still has all the necessary skills to win a fight.
