BIO: Loud, rude, aggressive and straight out of the murder capital of Europe is Adrian Baird. A man who’s anger knows no limits. Whether it be at home, on the bus, or in the ACW arena you’ll be sure to HEAR the infuriated Scotsman before you see him. His eyes are constantly lit with a fury of a thousand Gods and if you’re not completely submissive towards him in your conversational tact and don’t do everything he says his loud and abusive persona will completely stamp you out. Though he is so incredibly aggressive it’s a cold day in Hell he does have some humanities. He doesn’t hit women, and generally men unless they throw the first punch and he has a strong desire to be the best even if the fans hate him.

Inside the ring, Baird’s fighting style is just as blunt and aggressive as his verbal attacks. He’ll throw you to the floor then smash you so hard in the face that “you’ll start shitting blood and bleeding shit.” An unruly, wild yet dangerous street fighter with hands of concrete he has absolutely he keeps it fresh with cocky mind-games belittling his opponent and taunting them into a frenzy and is second only to Thunderkiss in the ability to use the surrounding environment to his advantage. Outside of the ring is Adrian’s playground with crowd barriers being his see-saw, the announce tables his swings set and the steel entrance ramp his sandpit. Cross this over with incredibly sharp wits for quick moves and a knack for cheating to win and you have Adrian Baird in a summary.

The hard hitting riffs of “TV Crimes” by Black Sabbath hit the sound system signalling to the fans the arrival of one “Adrian Baird”. The crowd’s voice elevated into a frenzy of jeering as they heckled the Angriest Man in Scotland stepping out from the curtain.

One day in the life of the lonely.
Another day on the roundabout.
What do they need? Somebody to live.

One day in the life of the lonely.
There’s a miracle on the screen.
What did they see? Somebody to love.

He guarantees you instant glory.
Get your money on the line.

Adrian with that permanent snarl on his face walked down the entrance ramp completely ignoring the audience as he stared directly at the cameras, his theme song blasting out of the sound system.

Gotta’ send me a plastic Jesus.
There’s a check in the mail today.
That’s what I need, somebody to love.

We just won't eat on Sunday
Gotta buy him a limousine
Somewhere to live
Somewhere to pray

Every penny from the people
Keeps the wolf outside the door
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he'll give you more, yeah

Adrian measured up the ring, examining it with his eyes as he reached the bottom of the entrance ramp taking the moment to slap his own chest.

(Chorus)
Holy Father, Holy Ghost.
Who’s the one who pays the most?
Rock the cradle, don’t you cry.
Buy another lullaby.

Jack is nimble, Jack is quick.
Pick your pocket, turn a trick.
Slow and steady, he’s got time.
To commit another TV Crime.
TV Crime.

WRESTLING STYLE:
I will only talk about his Offensive style because THAT’S the only way he wrestles. His style is simply to keep punching and kicking ‘til his opponent can’t get up. If he can take them to the floor, all the better whereas when being pushed back he’ll just keep punching and punching until they’re unconscious.

TRAITS:
1. He shouts, he swears and he gets angry VERY quickly. Any disrespect and he’ll fly off the handle.
2. When in doubt, scream and shout (and kick and punch too).
3. Baird does as little lifting moves as possible. Limit yourself down to about say, ten actual wrestling moves in a match (not including signatures) and only one of those have lifts (like a Suplex).
4. Baird takes the match outside the ring whenever possible.

Physical:
Of a middleweight build, he has a toned physique with broad shoulders to carry his powerful striking arms. His legs are also quite defined too. He has an almost pale complexion and a short crop of dirty blonde hair. He has a little wisp of chest hair and heavily defined pecs and abs, he’s no Scottish beer-belly that’s for sure. One more thing to note is he has a slight cleft in his chin and his body is covered in all kinds of scars from various street fights over the years.

In-Ring Attire:
A pair of white trunks with two navy blue stripes going down the side and “BAIRD” written on the ass in the same font it has on Randy Orton’s with a steely/black outline and a blue centre. Baird compliments this with white knee pads and boots. He has white wrist bands and wrist tape around the fingers on his right hand.

Backstage Attire:
Backstage Baird goes for the Tyler Durden look. Jeans Wifebeater. Workboots. Done. Looks like he just stepped off a construction site at all times, though he still has his wrist bands on that he wrestles in. If he’s stood outside he might wear a leather jacket.

Titles:
None

Accolades:
He survived ‘til beyond the age of 20 in Glasgow. Is that an accomplishment?
He hasn’t been knocked out cold since the age of eleven.
He is 5-1 in Professional Boxing, with the loss being due to punching an official.

Broken arm when he was twelve, got jumped by a man with a cricket bat.
Various Scars over his body.

PRE-ACW

Growing up in noble Glasgow amidst the territorial “Catholic VS Protestant”, “Celtics VS Rangers” war that was constantly ablaze to ruin it’s reputation, Adrian Baird prides himself on the fact he was able to pull himself out of the proverbial ghetto and make something out of himself. He graduated high school with good grades and even went to college doing various qualifications in sport while living the boyhood dream of playing football for fun and at a minor level. He was eventually scouted by The Rangers (the Protestant team) and had a lengthy but heavily marred career. Baird, though his skill were good kept finding that poor refereeing decisions and “cheek” from the other team lead him into a blind rage and he would often be booked for his aggression. After a few years of professional football he was let loose from The Rangers and instead pursued a career in Amateur Boxing but once again, his overzealous nature and his hatred of officials came back to haunt him.

Talented a boxer as he was, he didn’t like the fact that he couldn’t “kick the sluts in the mouth” so instead he made his wages street-fighting for fun. Something important to note about Baird is that though he supports the Rangers and is on the Protestant side of the Catholic/Protestant segregation in Glasgow he does not believe in God and simply follows his family’s beliefs. Plus, he got battered by an Irish catholic when he was nine which didn’t help things. He grew up living a tough life but when he was an adult he’d had more street fights than Thunderkiss had steroid injections and was ready to go. As Baird entered his mid-twenties he started bar fighting and entering underground cage prize-fighting where his feral, insanity style of street fighting was well-known for nailing people into unconsciousness. He could use his full body and just smash all of those bitches into mushy peas.

Having fought just about half of Scotland he decided that he should move to America and try his luck stateside against some of their toughest and again found a similar success. Baird was scouted by some wrestling promoters and they sent him to a training academy and to some anger management sessions (which did LITTLE), Finally, he signed his first professional wrestling contract after many years of indy-work with Alpha Championship Wrestling and looks to crack open so more skulls just for funsies.

ARRIVAL

[El Shadowo]

Nick Aldis poser ftw <_<

[thesinner]

Baird shall be utilized much in the way High Roller was used with Thunderkiss, as a way to flesh out the roster and keep my writing fresh though don't expect the output from Baird to be anywhere near as good as Mainer.
