Biography (extended background on team formation): The pairing of Hunter Storms and Cross Recoba originally back in Pure Amusement Wrestling in September of 2016 on the company's secondary show, ADDICTION. It was there that Cross originally hired Storms for his mercenary services in order to take out the two men in the main event: Jack Nomad and Calvin Harris, former allies of Cross. Following the completed work, Cross contacted Storms again saying that his services were still needed in order to eliminate other major threats and also for protection services. The two were unfortunately split up following the company's closure in October, but have now been reunited in UKWF where they are now part of the New Management Enforcers and look determined as all hell to capture whatever gold they can.

Entrance Theme: Turn to Stone - Joe Walsh
Entrance Description: The lights dim in the arena as Joe Walsh's 'Turn to Stone' sounds across the arena. The fans jeer and boo in disgust as they know what to expect when they hear the distinctive distorted power chords that start the song. The lights focus on the entrance to the ramp as Cross Recoba comes through the curtain.
He brushes his shag haircut off his eyes and looks at the crowd. He instinctively clutches the crucifix necklace that hangs from his neck. He walks to the ring with purpose; only looking away from the ring to answer hecklers in the crowd.
He leaps onto the apron and smiles as he sees his disapproving audience before stepping through the ropes and waiting for his opponent.
Personality (a brief description of your wrestler as a person and an athlete):
Cross Recoba is driven entirely by his ego, or more accurately - his self-perception of himself. He tends to be cool and calculating but could also be judged as cutting and sarcastic. His demeanour towards people could be entirely distilled to - what can they give me?
Alignment: Heel
Allies: Stella Chalmers-Blythe, Arcane, Ace Watson, Hunter Storms
Rivals: Valkyrie, Kincaid
Strengths (2 or more):
- Cross has been raised to be extremely streetwise, this was a lesson taught fro his grandfather, his father and uncles, through to his godfather and family friends. Therefore he is wary of anything offered to him that seems too good to be true.
- Thanks to his background in playing football at high school Cross has become very agile. A great though not outstanding wide receiver he learnt to never be caught off-balance and thus he has an excellent countering system.
- Cross knows the right way in which to intimidate people, he is subtle and polite however this has stead him well in times of pressure and looks to try and get under people’s skin.
- Throughout his tender years, he has learnt the art of picking his battles and delegation. If he feels that someone is not playing on a level playing-field he calls in his associate, Aspanu Guilano, who normally evens out the odds a little.
- Cross’ methods of retribution are…methodical to state it politely. A master of such retribution his ring style reflects a methodical dismantlement of his opponent however this may give way to brutality at times depending on his feelings towards his opponent.
Weaknesses:
- Cross isn’t the largest man in the world and sometimes forgets this.
- Cross also has a God complex in residence at times, this has meant that in conjunction with his mouth he has managed to get into situations beyond his control.
- Cross’ strong family ties work for and against him, his sister is an easy way to get into his head and his wariness of this weakness has meant that he sometimes displays paranoid fantasies about danger for her even when none is around.
- Cross’ temper isn’t stereotypically Sicilian but the capacity for it to turn like that is there if the other person knows how to enrage him. Once this happens it is not always clear in his head what to do in order to solve the problem at hand in a rational manner.

Biography (extended background on your character):
The Recoba’s came across from Sicily in the seventies. With the Chicago Outfit breathing it’s last breath and Momo Giancama too Hollywood and too public to be calling the shots the hit was out. He fled to Mexico, Paul Ricca called upon his old village to provide the soldatos for their next move and with this came Pippi Recoba. A skilled wheel-man he brought with him a wife and a baby boy, Turi. His wife, Sophia, was left to raise Turi as Pippi found his way within the Chicago family. Rising up to head his own regime he was shipped off to New York to the "Dapper Don" John Gotti and worked for his number two, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano.
Santino barely knew his father because at the age of three he watched his father leave the house for the last time. Setting off to meet associates at a nearby diner he never made the meeting and theories around his disappearance hinge on whether or not he fled an unknown danger or he knew his fate before starting the engine.
Santino attended a state elementary school and was a generally happy-go-lucky child. The apple of his family’s eye he looked forward to visits from his Uncle Bruno, his missing father’s brother. Bruno would indulge the child in all his worst habits - junk food, music and, even at his tender age, an appreciation of the female form.
At Junior High Aspanu Guilano came into the life of Cross. A fellow son of an immigrant family they bonded over their disparate roots and lack of acceptance from the large majority of students. His seemingly ‘All-American’ appearance could not detract from his distinctive name and so would often be met with slurs about the Mafia and nicknamed the ‘Albino Guinea’ by his peers. Aspanu saved Cross from a sure beating at the hands of a student who took exception to Cross' possession of a face with an intent to use it. With this came a friendship that has lasted to this day.
A varsity wide-receiver at high school, off the field he was an above average student, displaying a great aptitude towards figures and business and was seen by his teachers as a good all-round prospect. A high-school injury quickly put any dreams of a football scholarship to rest.Without an outlet with which to forget about his troubles Cross floundered for a while and messed up his SAT exams which put paid to dreams of an Ivy League college.
He was sent to Las Vegas to join up with Alberto Costello, who had been friends with Cross’ family back to the times in Sicily. Having come to America in the fifties as a teenager he had established a wide reach of power that swept from California to Nevada, the once neutral state having been awarded to Costello in the late eighties after the whole mess with Gotti. At first he simply worked at the hotel and in the casino. He was fast-tracked from dealer to the floor manager within eight months and although this caused unrest upon his work colleagues he managed to always make money for Costello; at times underpaying himself in order to look better, and thus the promotion seemed legitimate. At the age of nineteen he was making the kind of money a college graduate would make within in their first five years of working and life seemed good. It was at the juncture that Costello started to ask Cross to supervise ‘ancillary’ jobs , as he put it.
Now listed as VP of Operations and Communications at The Sands Hotel, he has combined his employment with stints wrestling in promotions around America. Those with a keen eye will recognize him appear frequently with high-profile visitors to the hotel. Rumors of what his title actually means have led several people to believe that all is not above board at the Las Vegas hotel.

Entrance Description (please keep simple and adequate for an indie promotion): The lights nearly go dark as the electronic beat of "Lost in the Echo" starts to play and a spotlight appears on Storms who walks out onto the stage.

Biography (extended background on your character):
Storms was born in Boston to a rather average middle class working family. He often spent his youth playing video games or soccer with friends and he excelled in school by having grades no less than a B. Originally, he was going to try and aim for a scholarship in soccer, but wrestling had piqued his interest higher and he ultimately decided on pursuing a wrestling career, rather than go for the pro leagues in soccer.
In 2011, Storms made his debut with the Global Wrestling Alliance under the ring name Dynamo Crunch, where he had a pretty rough upstart as a rookie where he sometimes fought with some of the older talent and even the Front Office. Nonetheless, he eventually succeeded in winning his first championship, the Sunday Showcase championship, after defeating the champ in back to back weeks and with some assistance from an old ally of his, Kmodo Dragon. However, the reign did not last long as more fights with Front Office led to Storms eventually relinquishing the title on his own will and he left the company in early 2012.
When 2013 came around, Storms signed with the World Wrestling Organization under the ring name Wolf. It was here that he started to move more into the spotlight when he feuded with another man known as David Dreadful. After a series of multiple back and forth matches, Wolf and Dreadful eventually fought for the Northern Title, where David successfully claimed it and later beat Storms in a rematch for the championship. Later, the company went under a brand split and formed the Global Wrestling Federation and American Championship Wrestling. With Storms and Dreadful in GWF, the Northern Title was renamed the GWF Pacific Championship and Storms would later take it from Dreadful after defeating him in a 1000 Tacks Match. After three months, Storms dropped the title to Jace Lonque after a controversial finish, but he later took a hiatus in order to recover, but the company eventually closed in July of 2014.
After about another year and a half of very little employment he could find, Storms eventually jumped ship to Pure Amusement Wrestling in the summer of 2016. At first, it was a rocky start for Storms when he went 0-5 in his first few matches, but he then made an astounding comeback by becoming the number one contender for the PAW Crank Championship and later took out two of the top contenders, Calvin Harris and Jack Nomad, in a vicious assault with a steel chair. The following show after claiming the #1 Contender spot, he shocked the fans by defeating then champion Annabel Lee cleanly for the PAW Crank Championship. Despite his rising glory, the company folded after legal issues arrived following Wicked Live #4.
After spending more time in various other promotions in order to promote himself, he has now come to UKWF at the recommendation of Cross Recoba in order to see if he can improve himself in England.
