Entrance Theme: "Digital Blackout" by Anti-Flag

Entrance Description (please keep simple and adequate for an indie promotion):
The lighting in the arena cuts out completely, other than a single spotlight on the stage, just as the opening of Anti-Flag's "Digital Blackout" is heard. As the guitar riff begins to kick in, smoke begins to pour out from the smoke machines and onto the stage and in due time, he appears from behind the curtain. The image before us oozes badassery. Noah Reigner standing in his wrestling gear, matched by his long black leather trench coat, and black sunglasses – surrounded by pitch black except for the spotlight shining down on him, and ankle deep in smoke. He stood atop of the entrance ramp, arms spread out to his sides as he stared down the ramp – soaking in the reaction from the crowd. This lasted for a few moments before he lowered his arms, and with a very cocky swagger he walked down the ramp way chewing on the end of a toothpick, which he would remove and feign throwing it into the camera lens closest to him, but stops and puts it back in his mouth. The spotlight followed him the entire way down the ramp, and as he stepped onto the thin padding that surrounded the ring, the lighting slowly began to return to normal. He ascended the ring steps and stepped onto the apron, where he ducked underneath the top rope and entered. As he entered the ring, he stopped in an empty corner and peeled off his jacket handing it down to the ringside hand, before he would lean back in his corner, still wearing his sunglasses and chewing on his toothpick. He remained this way until the bell would sound.

Personality (a brief description of your wrestler as a person and an athlete):
Arrogant and brash. Even despite him being new to the industry, with the level of training that he's received, he believes that he's legitimately the end all/be all in professional wrestling. He's gone on record saying how he's the "last beacon of hope in a dying industry", and he truly believes that. Above all else, he's out for number one. He doesn't keep very many friends and even those who've mentored him in the past have had a knife planted firmly in their backs at the first opportunity for Noah to make a move to advance himself.

Alignment: Tweener
Allies (if any): Here: N/A | Globally: Brooklyn Kanojvic, "Rumble" Reyes, Mikey Svarro, Andrew Wolfe
Rivals (if any): Here: N/A | Globally: Dick Devereaux, Reece Crosslin, Lexi Sheckler


Strengths (2 or more):
1. Training (Striking, Technique, Submission Attack). Noah trained under two former champions in the industry primarily, attended several guest seminars by another former champion and kickboxer. He gathered information and techniques from all four athletes to sharpen his own craft.
2. Hybrid. His hybrid style of technique, striking, and submission make him a triple threat in the ring. He loves to use his knees when it comes to striking his opponents.
3. In-Ring Intelligence. He was trained by two former-Champions, so of course they bestowed little things like this to him. Noah's always aware of his surroundings, and knows how to use them to capitalize on them. Not to mention Eve standing at ringside generally gives him a nod

Weaknesses (2 or more):
1. Inexperience. Yes, he is Twenty-Five years old - but he started professional wrestling training late. He recently finished training and thus is just beginning his professional career.
2. Composure. Not only is he extremely cocky and arrogant, he also has a very bad attitude in terms of temper. He's known to quickly lose his composure and "flip", making him more likely to make mistakes.
3. Agility. Noah may be on the lighter side compared to other members of the So Cal roster, but he very - very rarely takes to the skies, and that's because his training didn't include that, barring the odd elbow drop here and there.
4. Submission Defense. While he may have had training applying submissions, countering and getting out of them is a very different story. Noah was taught to only apply a submission when you know it will finish the match. Anytime else you're asking for trouble. And when facing a submission specialist - stay off of the mat, and away from your opponent.

Biography (extended background on your character):
     Noah Caleb Reigner is the youngest of the Reigner children born to Benjamin and Madison Reigner. His siblings are Chloe, who’s the oldest and Ethan. Madison was a corporate lawyer in Seattle, and Benjamin was one of the most highly sought after plastic surgeons. The Reigner family lived more than comfortably, and the children had anything they could ever want.

Growing up, all of the Reigner children were popular in school. Chloe was the head cheerleader in high school. Ethan was a starter on the school basketball team, and while Noah didn’t participate in any extracurricular activities - he was charismatic and always found himself surrounded by people. One thing they all shared in common, though, was the fact they all loved professional wrestling. Chloe and Ethan maybe not as much as Noah, though.

After high school, Chloe and Ethan both moved to California for University while Noah attended the University of Washington, studying business management. Noah completed his course and graduated the program - but he wanted to follow his true passion. Even though his parents disagreed with his direction, Noah would move to San Diego, California and registered with "The Plant", the training facility operating under the So Cal Ultraviolent company. Noah was trained by former So Cal Ultraviolent Trans-Pacific Champion, Andrew Wolfe. Head trainer, Laine Pierce, of course oversaw the training process and helped where he can. Andrew was a master of the technical side of pro. wrestling and was cited as being a Submission specialist.

Throughout his training, he would attend several seminars at various other schools in the city, and would also attend MMA classes which helped his striking technique. After his training under Andrew Wolfe was complete, Noah was given the opportunity to compete with So-Cal Ultraviolent. Noah, however, turned down the offer - feeling that he wanted to travel and continue training elsewhere. His next stop would be New York state, where he would sign up for and attend the wrestling school headed by Zarek Lyle. There he would meet another trainee in Evelyn Ridley (Eve). It was there that they would form a pact, that Eve would accompany Noah and be his ‘muscle’ once her training was complete.

After successfully completing his course with Lyle, Noah went onto the independent scene for a few matches before he was quickly signed to a long term contract.

So-Cal Ultraviolent
     The first company he signed with would be based in San Diego, California under the name So-Cal Ultraviolent, and immediately he made a splash there. He was booked in the main event of the first show since it’s re-opening against Jack Owyns and Alexei Smirnov in the King of California tournament. Earlier in the night, he took it upon himself to attack Reece Crosslin - a returning hero to So-Cal, citing that he wanted to take out all legends in the sport, that now was his time. During the main event, Reece got a little bit of retribution and cost Noah the win.

On the next event, Noah was scheduled to face Charity Olson - but before the match, he informed her that this match wasn't worth his time and that he wouldn't partake. Noah would turn around and be assaulted by Reece Crosslin and his steel chair. Later in the evening, Noah would return the favor attacking - and re-injuring Reece’s neck, putting him on the shelf for a short amount of time.

Noah’s next move would be to sign with the UKWF.

Splitting time between San Diego and the U.K., Noah found time to compete for So-Cal again, his next match taking on Lexi Sheckler and Micaela Peszek. Micaela would be distracted by on going drama in her personal life that spilt over to the professional side, which took the match down to Lexi and Noah. Noah was able to capitalize on a mistake and put Lexi down with the “D.B.R.” for the victory.

After this match, it would be revealed that owner Julian Cortez sought out Noah, giving him a piece of folded fabric - recruiting him for something. Noah, now aligned with Julian, did the same to Bear Reynolds on the following Asylum event, and even helped him in his match by pulling him out of the ring to avoid taking a direct loss.

It would be here in So-Cal that Noah met Julian Cortez’s daughter, Aryanna Cortez.

.... More coming soon.

United Kingdom Wrestling Federation
     Noah would debut for the UKWF in a battle royal for the new Broadcast championship at New Year’s Evolution. In arrogant fashion, Noah watched as most of the match happened and many eliminations took place before he jumped in and made a few of his own. The match ended up coming down to Noah and James Edwards. Edwards would go on to outsmart Noah and throw him over the top rope in order to win the title.

This would start a little rivalry between the two. The next time they met was at Winds of Change where they faced off one on one. Noah claimed it was Luck that carried James to the win, and that “any moron could throw someone over the top rope. Only real champions can pin someone.” .. and well, he proved to be right. Noah pinned James in the middle of the ring with a well-timed backslide to successfully win the Broadcast championship.

The next event, Violentines Violence, Noah faced James again in the “rubber match” you could say. Once again, Noah proved to be too much for James to handle - this time hitting James with the “D.B.R.” For the win. His next title defense came at No Escape when he faced Chris Ghensi. In this match, Noah would miss his Tope Con Hilo he calls “Danger! Danger!”, crashing and burning on the outside. Ghensi returned to the ring and would win VIA count out. Therefore Noah remained champion.

After No Escape, Noah would request release from his contract for the time being.
