Entrance Description (please keep simple and adequate for an indie promotion):
Lights dim and "Built to Last" begins to play, a spotlight flashing on the entrance way in rhythm with the beat of the drum. Stanton throws back the curtain and emerges from the gorilla position, he strolls out onto the entrance way and he admires the fans with a grin on his face. He pumps his fist in time to the song and bobs his head along to the tune, marching down to the ring and sliding straight into it and pops up to his feet once inside. Unzipping his jacket, he removes his shades and eyes the crowd before throwing them in and handing his jacket off to a ring tech and getting into his corner to wait the start of the match, bouncing from on one foot to the other.
Personality (a brief description of your wrestler as a person and an athlete):
Brash, thrill seeking and fun loving loose cannon that is more concerned about getting a good fight than anything. Showing many of the traits of a Blood Knight, Stanton is interested in finding the most challenging opponents and challenging situations but also being a lifelong fan of pro-wrestling he respects the industry & its fans greatly. Driven to put on a show that gives any fan in attendance or watching at home their money's worth.

Biography (extended background on your character): Joe Stanton's career started after being a long term fan of pro-wrestling, specifically NGIW. Once he graduated, he would spend the better part of a few years plying his trade in the mid-west in an attempt to pay his dues & get noticed. Occasionally getting gigs in Japan too. It would pay off eventually, the company he had loved watching on TV would sign him on during a talent initiative.
He spent almost three years in NGIW, competing at multiple levels within the roster's structure and divisions. Joe learned the hard way you don't try to rise to the top without making a few enemies, getting into some heated wars with veterans of the company & newer blood alike. That all came to an end when Stanton abruptly left the company and disappeared entirely from the professional wrestling scene. Numerous rumors had circulated since about his whereabouts and what he's been up to, from retiring in some small town to moving to the mountains to be a lumberjack to taking up underground cage fighting.
Joe Stanton would reemerge for the brief revival of NGIW, competing with a new outlook on pro-wrestling. His shift in behavior drew more than a few questions about the man and his mental health. But when the company's doors closed, Joe would disappear again and become the thing of speculation as to his whereabouts. Till he came to FIW, the sister promotion of NGIW that was on a global scale and he would spend a year there wrestling some of their very best in the process. In 2017 he'd wrangle the Fighting Spirit Championship from its champion and he would battle in the division, representing it twice and holding the championship for the majority of the year.
