Entrance Description (Copy & Paste)

“Cigarettes & Alcohol” by Oasis hits the speakers as the lights dim, leaving the arena bathed in a golden light. Alex Richmond strides through the curtain, arms held out and face turned towards the heavens, a smile growing on his face as the crowds cheers become ever more audible. Pyros explode behind him, the lights return to their full beam and Richmond fixes his gaze on the ring before slowly striding down the ramp whilst slapping the hand of the odd nearby crowd member.

Richmond slowly walks up the steel steps and wipes his feet on the apron before stepping between the top and middle ropes. He stands midring and snaps his head backwards, forcing the hair out of his eyes before once more smiling and looking upwards, eyes closed, as pyros shoot out of all four turnbuckles. Richmond then removes his robe, handing it to the referee to pass onto the timekeeper, and rolls his shoulders to warm himself up.




APPEARANCE


Physical: At 6’4” Alex cuts quite the imposing figure. His black hair hangs straight, falling past his shoulders and he has a full facial beard which is trimmed short. Alex carries a lot of muscle with large shoulders, arms and pectorals – he also has a slightly defined six-pack.

Casual: When relaxing backstage Alex usually wears a tight-fitting white Armani t-shirt coupled with a plain black suit jacket, a pair of jeans and a pair of white trainers. When Alex is outdoors he often wears a brown leather jacket over his clothing.

Formal: When Alex isn’t wearing his casual clothing he dons a finely tailored suit, coupled with an open-collar fitted shirt and Italian leather shoes. To complete the ensemble, he wears a Gold Rolex and a pair of frameless sunglasses, which usually sit in his jacket pocket. When Alex is outdoors he often wears a brown leather jacket over his clothing.

Ring Attire: Alex wears trunks in a variety of colours, each with his logo on the back. His kneepad covers are always the same colour as his trunks. On his wrists he wears white tape, the same colour as his boots – which he wears with black laces.

Entrance: During his entrance Alex wears a classical style black robe with dark blue details and a black belt.




WRITING INSTRUCTIONS


During Match
- Alex likes to employ an old school style meaning that he takes his time when executing moves.
- He will, more often than not, target a particular body part and work on it throughout the entire match.

Post Match
- Post Loss, After a loss in a big match Alex usually looks pretty devastated. In cases where he really doesn’t like his opponent he will, typically, leave the ring without saying a word, an angry expression on his face. Normally he will offer his hand to the victor and will, at the very least, offer a small clap if the match has been fought in a sporting fashion.
- Post Victory, There is still nothing Alex loves more than picking up a win and he will typically wait for his hand to be raised by the referee before climbing the nearest turnbuckle and pulling out his customary pose (arms outstretched, face to the heavens, a wide smile on his face).

CHARACTER HISTORY



Pre-ACW

Alex is the only son of multi-millionaire businessman Jeremy Richmond and former supermodel Victoria Woodworth. As a result Alex wanted for nothing whilst growing up; many even would class him as spoiled. In school Alex excelled, getting good grades and even being able to play American Football at college level.

After leaving college Alex made the decision that he wanted to turn his hand to wrestling and in 2002, aged 20, he made his debut on a small one-off show funded by his father. From that point on Alex got work with many of the smaller indy promotions, even holding the top level title in a few of them. The general consensus in the wrestling world is that Alex has a lot of raw potential but is still to have his “breakout year”. He has come to ACW to prove that he can make it in the big leagues and be a top contender within the industry.


ACW Debut – Bloody Valentine 08

Richmond made a big impact when he debuted on ACW’s first show of 2008, interfering in the Unsanctioned Streetfight between Thunderkiss and Jason Freeman to make his presence – as the latest Entourage member – well and truly felt. In the following weeks Richmond became frustrated at his lack of matches and this led him into a confrontation with Demon Inc as he sought to cure his boredom. This altercation cost Richmond his first match, versus “The Silent Assassin” Jin, as Demon Inc interfered to get their revenge. In the midst of this conflict with Demon Inc, Richmond was also embroiled in the Entourage vs. Senatorial Stable war which led him to cost Jason Freeman another match, this time for the International Title, when he caused a No Contest finish between him and Jon Taylor. Richmond didn’t get away scot free with his actions and was soon the victim of a revenge attack by Freeman who enlisted the help of stable mate, and Entertainment Champion, Jonny Hughes as the build-up to the Stable War Games Match hotted up. On Saturday 28th January 2008 ACW held it’s Ragnarok PPV – the show where the Senatorial Stable and Entourage would finally face off, in a Stable War Games Match. Under elimination rules Richmond became one of the final two competitors, facing off against Jonny Hughes, yet the night would end badly for Richmond as he blacked out whilst in the grip of Hughes’ lethal Anaconda Vice.

Richmond was undefeated during the month of February, picking up victories against Silencio, Jonny Hughes and Jin respectively. However, it was generally a quiet month as his feud with Demon Inc, and his planned match for Bloody Valentine, were cancelled at short notice as Demon Inc, frustrated with their direction, or lack of thereof, within ACW left the company. Not one to miss a trick, Richmond was quick to call a conference at the Bloody Valentine PPV where a “referee” would pronounce him the winner of a Handicap Match over Demon Inc via “No Show”.


Bloody Valentine 08 – Genocide 08

This month began badly for Alex Richmond when, on Monday Night Warfare, his prized 1967 Shelby GT was blown up by Lucrezia Damiano, not to mention his defeat to Entourage stablemate Danny Mainer in the same evening. Things went from bad to worse the following Thursday, on Meltdown, when Richmond was defeated by Lucrezia in a singles match. On the 10th March edition of Warfare Richmond picked up his first, and only, victory of the month when he teamed with Thunder Train to take on Blaine Stone and Lucrezia - a match which ended with Train pinning Stone. Only a week later, and the Warfare proceeding Genocide, Richmond was back into his losing ways - being forced to submit by Jonny Hughes.

The PPV was no different, as Richmond faced Lucrezia in a Tables Match to put their feud to rest. In the end it was Richmond who was "put to rest" as he was DDT'd through a table to end the contest. After the match Lucrezia took a bite out of his neck to "feast on his blood" and bring a miserable month consisting of four losses and a solitary victory to a close.


Genocide 08 – April 17th 2008

Following Genocide followed an even worse month and a half. Richmond competed in a further three matches, losing every one, and his career appeared to be faltering completely. Richmond promptly began blaming manager Peter Resinowitz for this slump in form, claiming the ex-lawyer wasn’t protecting his interests. This led to Resinowitz being fired and claiming he would reveal a dark Richmond family secret in retaliation. On the night Resinowitz was due to reveal all he was brutally assaulted in the ring by Richmond, who rendered his ex-manager unconscious before destroying his briefcase, destroying all evidence of the alleged secret. Shortly afterwards Richmond was released from his ACW contract, the reason cited was that he was a problem backstage. The reality, as it turned out, was much worse.


ACW Exit – Return to ACW

During his time away from ACW Alex Richmond spiralled out of control and developed a dependency on hard drugs and alcohol. During this time he worked for various Independent Promotions but his increased dependence on narcotics proved extremely detrimental to his in-ring skills and, eventually, all promotions cut ties with the fallen-from-grace star. He was also cast aside by his despairing father who, as his last act of parenthood, forced him to go into a rehab clinic. This, most likely, saved Richmond’s life.


Return to ACW – Hello Goodbye 08

Alex Richmond made his return to ACW on the 30th October edition of Thursday Night Meltdown. He had a new attitude, as if shedding his previous identity in an effort to improve himself, and a new goal – the ACW International Title. From his first moments back in the company Richmond made it clear that he didn’t believe Jake Steele to be a worthy champion due to the fact he won it after cashing in a Fallen Heroes contract purchased from Yoko Satoshi. Richmond wasted little time in conducting what he named “Strike #1”. This involved him stealing Steele’s title (as he had done to Jay Zero) and offering him a replica title in exchange (because Steele was a replica champion). Unfortunately Steele wasn’t best pleased and this led to Richmond being ambushed, and beaten down, by XS3 as Steele took his belt back.

This saga, and successful matches again Josh the Jersey Boy and up-and-coming Dave Tyler, led to Richmond being booked in a triple threat for the International Title against Champion Jake Steele and Jonny Hughes, who had pre-existing unfinished business with Steele. Yet, in an odd twist Steele was arrested during the build-up to the match, leaving him unable to compete. XS3 stepped into the breach and was able to successfully retain the belt in the place of his stablemate, seeming ending Richmond’s dream of becoming International Champ.
