Name: "The Young Gun" Brandon Young
Age: 24
Hometown: San Dimas, Ca
Weight: 220lbs
Height: 5'10"
Theme Song. Electric Six - "Clusterfuck!"
Wrestling style: High flyer with technical sprinkling
Poser: Eduardo Verastegui
Fan Reaction: While the wrestlers in the back may hate Brandon for his brash, outspoken attitude, the fans love him because he is essentially one of them, and won't likely ever forget it.
Participates in HardKore Style Matches? (Yes or No): Uh, sure.
List 5 Signature Moves used by this Star.
- "Stop, Drop, and DIE!" - Standing infront of the opponent, Brandon grabs their head as if going for an ace crusher/diamondcutter/RKO, but instead he flips over them and hits a backstabber/double knees to the back
- "Reality Check" - Backflip off the ropes into a swinging DDT (Brandon backflips off the ropes, on the way through the flip, he grabs his opponent, who is facing away from him, by the head and uses the momentum to drop them into a DDT.
- Top rope wheelbarrow kick (Jeff hardy's thing he does when runs up the ropes and comes off with a flip kick to opponents head.)
- springboard tope suicidal to the outside (the fancy name for suicide dive)
Finisher. (2 if needed. Add a image or video if possible.))
- DISASTERPIECE - Brandon climbs to the top rope and jumps off, spinning into a corkscrew double foot stomp onto an opponent's chest (who is laying on the mat).
Ring Psychology: Brandon is not anywhere near the strongest or most technically gifted wrestler on the planet. But what he does have is his speed and agility, and he uses those to his fullest. He is at his best when he can hit and run, wearing you down and wearing you out.
How should your character be used? As a cruiserweight with a smattering of technical ability. Brandon can come off like an ass (sometimes it's on purpose, most of the time it's not) but no matter what he is always about making the fans happy, and doing the right thing for the right reasons.
Entrance:
The lights start to dim as Olson Johnson's famous line from "Blazing Saddles" plays over the PA
[i]"Nevermind that shit, here comes Mongo!"[/i]
The opening guitar riff on Electric Six's "Clusterfuck!" intermingles with the last word as clips of random acts of destruction play over the tron in tune to the frenetic pace of the song. Cars crash into each other, planes fall from the sky, ships sink, bombs explode, riots ensue, and more as green and gold spot lights strobe in tune with the song.
~In the writings of the druids
Lies a recipe for druid fluid
Sounds like a most refreshing drink to me~
~You seem to be accruing
More penalties than a Boston Bruin
But your card says 'Get Out of Jail For Free'~
As the song keeps going, Brandon Young bounces out onto the stage, bopping his head to the music. He is wearing a sleeveless hooded jacket with a flaming sword piercing through the Nextwave Autobot logo, the hood obscuring his face, and black pants with the same design running down the sides, but with "Y O U N G G U N" written down each side, with the G and N of the "GUN" written above and below the U in YOUNG making a cross shape, in fiery gold font. He dances his way to the left side of the stage, riling up the crowd on that side before doing the same towards the right side.
~You were always such a shoe-in
But you didn't pay attention to what you were doing
And no one here can do it as good as me~
Announcer: Introducing next, he stands 5'10" tall and weighs in at 220 pounds! From San Dimas, California... He is the "Young Gun" BRANDON YOUNG!
He moonwalks his way back to the middle of the stage, where he begs the crowd on as the bridge hits, motioning for them to sing it with him as he shouts out the next verse.
~No one here can do it (HOOAH!)
No one here can do it (HOOAH!)
No one here can do it as good as me
To relive my fantasies!~
At "fantasies!" He throws his left arm into the air and pyro explodes all around the sides of him, then as the chorus kicks in he barrels down to the ring, where he slides in and hops on the nearest turnbuckle. He throws his arm up one last time before the music dies out and he pulls off the jacket and hops down to prepare for the match.
Bio: Brandon Young isn't your typical (e) wrestler. He's not the son of rich socialites, he doesn't have some crippling deep dark secret in his past, he's just a guy looking to make his name in the business he loves. And though it's taken him time and he's gone different routes to get there, he is finally living that dream.
Born in southern California, he grew up in Tucson, Arizona along with his best friend Adrian Tanner Jr. Growing up, he developed a crush on Adrian's older sister Kaycee, and things seemed to be happening between them until Kaycee went away to college and nothing was ever said or done about it. Brandon stayed and trained with Adrian at Adrian's older brother's Notorious Wrestling Academy, but eventually moved back out to California to do his own thing.
Personality-wise, Brandon is a spaz and has absolutely NO shame. He is very much like Daffy Duck (since I'm on a Looney tunes kick lately) in that he will often do stupid shit with little or no thought about the consequences so long as he thinks it's a good idea. In the same sense of having no shame, he does not have any problem telling it like it is, and will piss off a lot of the roster with his words because he just doesn't care. He is who he is and he doesn't care if you don't like him. But in the end, he is a good person and will show it through his actions, if not his words.
Brandon spent the first half of his career being told he just wasn't "good enough" to be an active roster member. He was able to find a good gig doing other things in the business, managing and announcing the top two, but it wasn't until coming to EUW that he really hit his stride, that he finally blossomed into a real star under his own power, wowing the crowd in the big EUW Rumble with moves that even he didn't know he could pull off, winning major victories over EUW legends and stars alike before finally earning himself a shot at the EUW Hardkore Title in the main event of EUW's "Sunday Night Violence" tv show. A shot Brandon would go on to WIN, fulfilling his own hopes and dreams of finally making it in the world of wrestling.
It was also in EUW where he met and truly got to know Natalie Burrows. The two had met before, under... less than flattering circumstances, and Brandon always felt guilty about that. So when he had the chance to make up for it he took it, and the two had quickly become good friends. However, as these things tend to do, the more time they spent with each other the closer they got, and soon enough the two realized they were in love with each other. After spending the last year feeling nothing but emptiness and heartache, the thought of falling in love with someone again was something that was far out of Brandon's head, but it happened anyways. And he couldn't be happier for it.
Now, along with his new love, Brandon is on a mission to continue to take EUW by storm.
