Entrance Music: “Silent Revelation” by Galneryus
Entrance Description: The quiet piano entrance opens up the entrance, as the lights fade to almost a total darkness. Then around the 0:20 mark, the song bursts into life with powerful guitar shredding, and the lights begin to flicker in a mix of red and white lights. Then as the lyrics begin around the 0:35 stage, MASAKI walks out to jeers from the crowd. He walks down the ramp, looking rather cocky with himself before he walks down the ramp. The lights then resume a normal position as MASAKI talks trash to the fans, before he slides into the ring.


Physical Description:

Pretty much like the picture above (of The Great Sasuke) only his colours come usually in either Black (like the picture above), Red, or in major events, White.


Character History:
I don’t have much time to write a character history at the minute, but to be blunt:

Grew up in Japan, wrestling was in the family so it was his only real choice, ended up being a bit of a prodigy in the business, won some titles, become pro, won more titles, moved to America, won more recognition, got signed by ACW.

During his short time in ACW, he's made it clear that he's determined to bring tradition back into wrestling. The question is, will people realise who he is and what he's talking about? His debut came when he interupted an RDK promo with flying colours, and other altercations with RDK and stable partner Vince Hall signifyed that MASAKI isn't a fan of the NoA. He started well in the ring, however, with his Fury Sweep/Roaring Fusion moves sending fear down both wrestler's and fan's spines. It's just a matter of time before the youngster has a major impact on goings-on in ACW.

Catchphrase: "I am the Amazing MASAKI and you are just another Prima Donna!"

Other: Uses heelish moves in all his matches.

Gimmick: MASAKI is a traditionalist, and dislikes the way how wrestling promotions on the global front have formed. He dislikes people exploiting their wrestling status to go and record albums or screen movies, etc, and he wants to take wrestling back to the old days when wrestling was the only thing the wrestlers were concerned about. However this doesn't make MASAKI a boring old sod. He likes to add comedy to persuade the crowd to see his ways, and is often seen impersonating people, especiall foes, whilst still wearing his trademark robes. In short:
MASAKI = Traditionalist + Impersonating + Cheap Heel Mockery

ACW Achievements
Entertainment Champion (Warfare 16/10/06 - Warfare 23/10/06)
Entertainment Champion (Samhain 28/10/06 - Present)

Moveset

Wrestling Style: Puro/Striker

For my moves, I’ve initiated a ‘+’ system. +++++ means the move is likely to be used in most matches, whilst + means it’s not going to happen very often if at all.


Finishers

Primary Finisher: Fury Sweep +++++

MASAKI gets the opponent into a seated position, usually when they’re at a point of being unable to escape the Kick. MASAKI runs backwards off the ropes opposite, before returning and launching his foot backwards, and crushing the opponent’s skull with a high amount of impact in the temple.


Secondary Finisher: Roaring Fusion ++++

MASAKI throws the opponents off the ropes. He then runs at the ropes, criss-crossing his opponent once before running towards them at an angle, turning as he reaches them and planting a thunderous elbow into the side of their cranium. If the opponent falls into the right position, MASAKI will proceed to hit a Fury Sweep.


Submission Finisher: MASAKI Lock +++

Basically, a Sitdown Stretch Muffler, or the Brock Lock, as shown:

Desperation Finisher: MASAKI Spike +

A Vertebreaker, very very rarely done off of an elevated surface.

Trademark Moves
1) Rapid forearms and elbows into the opponent’s head, like a whole flurry of them, hitting up to 30 hits in one go. +++++

2) Jumping Tornado DDT (As MASAKI finishes connecting with the final turnbuckle post, he throws himself right up, allowing himself to fall gracefully to the floor, but at a contrast, deliver almost a spike to the opponent.) ++++

3) Moonsault Leg Drop (MASAKI manages to get a lot of height as he leaps off, resulting in a more painful execution for the opponent.) +++

4) Lightning Strike Suplex (Basically a Millennium Suplex. MASAKI locks the opponent in a Cobra Clutch variation, before flipping them over his head and landing them on their front, as shown in the clip.) ++
www.wrestlingencyclopedia.com/Moves2/MSuplex.wmv

5) Half Lock (Simple Name, I know. Basically for periods when the opponent isn’t worn down enough/MASAKI is too worn down, he will slap on a Single-Legged Boston Crab instead of the MASAKI Lock.) +++

6) MASAguri (A step-up Enzuiguri. Usually done when the opponent catches the foot of MASAKI, and MASAKI will leap up and strike a quick foot to the side of the opponent’s head. Can sometimes lead to a knockout in rare occasions.) ++++

7) Snap Suplex (Just a standard Snap Suplex, but it’s become one of MASAKI’s trademarks during his time in wrestling due to its swiftness and easy ability to hit the move.) +++++

8) Poison Mist (Because a Japanese wrestler wrestling in America just isn’t a Japanese wrestler without this move. Red mist is usually the normal mist colour, meaning it burns the opponent’s eyes, but on other cases it can be green (poison) and black (blinding).) ++


Weardown Moves
Note: A lot of moves will be done in chains and with high fluidity. For example, MASAKI might hit a judo throw followed by a front headlock with mounted knees and into a snapmere seating the opponent.

1) Roundhouse Kick
2) Hitting elbows and Forearms whenever the chance arises
3) Stiff kicks usually to the opponent’s thighs
4) Strong Lariat (nowhere near the strength of anyone like Kobashi’s lariat, however)
5) Hitting knees, kicks, etc whenever an opponent is tangled/in turnbuckle
6) Diving Leg Lariat
7) Kick to the stomach of a running opponent (aka “Kitchen Sink”)
8) Soccer Kick (usually to the back of a seated opponent)

9) Rear Naked Choke Drop
10) Russian Leg Sweep
12) Diving Facebuster (often off of the counter)
13) Stalling Vertical Suplex
14) Running Headscissors Takedown
15) Snapmere to Seated Position
16) Backdrop Suplex (usually captured around the waist)
17) Judo Throw

18) Jumping Armbreaker into Fujiwara Armbar
19) Dragon Screw into Leglock
20) Side Headlock (often hitting knees into the opponent’s head)
21) Grounded Half Nelson

22) La Majistrol Cradle Pin
