Entrance Description | As the arena lights dim, a single spotlight illuminates the ramp. A crisp, percussive Greco-Roman–inspired theme hits—pulsing strings and heavy drums echo through the speakers. Ellis appears at the top of the ramp in a tailored blue singlet with gold trim, his wrestling boots laced high. He pauses, then performs a short, respectful bow to the crowd before marching to the ring with deliberate, measured steps. Upon reaching the apron, he slides in, adjusts his knee pads, and steps into the center of the ring, cracking his knuckles as the lights flare back up. |

Finisher Setup |
Gut-Wrench Lift Ellis locks both arms around a bent opponent’s waist, lifts them off their feet in a gut-wrench position, and holds for a beat—drawing the crowd’s anticipation before delivering the finishing blow. |
Basic Finisher | Olympic Slam (Bridging German Suplex) |
Submission Finisher | Lockjaw Lock (Modified Fujiwara Armbar) |
In-Ring Personality | Stoic Technician: Speaks rarely, lets his wrestling do the talking. Respectful Competitor: Acknowledges opponents before and after matches. Relentless Focus: Maintains unwavering intensity from bell to bell. |
In-Ring Tactics | Chain Wrestling: Smooth transitions between holds to wear opponents down. Limb Targeting: Focuses on one arm or leg to set up submissions and slams. Counter-Based Offense: Thrives on turning opponent’s momentum into his own attacks. |
Always Do | Offer a sportsmanlike fist-bump or handshake post-match (win or lose). Tape up his wrists deliberately before every match. Look the referee in the eye when going for a pin or submission. |
Never Do | Cheat or resort to foreign objects. Trash-talk excessively or taunt opponents mid-match. Turn his back on an opponent until the final bell has rung. |
