Outside of the Ring: Showtime likes to stay hip and wears the latest fashions while still dressing comfortably. All of the latest fashion that hip-hop artist and NBA players are into work for Showtime. There are times when he dresses in more formal wear, choosing to go with Armani suits for his Week in Review segments, but he likes to dress down in slacks and a nice button-down shirt when he's going out.

Wrestling Style:
He generally uses brutal knees and stiff kicks to soften up his opponents as well as traditional slams and wrestling holds. He's a flashy wrestler, and because of that, he often uses very slick moves and counters. Showtime’s Muay Thai has won him many matches in ACW and other companies, using nothing more than a Jumping Knee Strike to win many matches. He’s evolved and did some training and research, adding more power moves into an arsenal that was already filled with lethal strikes and submission.

Strength: 7.0
Strikes: 9.0
Speed: 7.5
Charisma: 9.0
Submission: 8.5
Ring Awareness/Experience: 7.5
Agility: 8.0
Weapons/Hardcore: 6.0

Moveset

XXX: Used in almost every Showtime match.
XX: Used whenever the situation presents itself.
X: Something that Showtime busts out in a big match that’s for a title or on a PPV.

Strike Finisher: Starstruck (While running towards an opponent that is sitting or on his knees (usually after bouncing off the ropes), Showtime does a slide across the mat, before connecting with a knee to the face. Think of it as a Sliding Knee to Masato Tanaka’s Sliding D.) XXX

High-Impact Finisher: Hate Crew Deathroll Part II (Backslide Driver) XX

Trademark Moves:

KTFO: Cartwheel into a jumping knee to the face to an opponent in the corner XXX

Double Impact (Back Suplex rolled into belly to back wheelbarrow facebuster) X

Double Stomp, complete with Bruce Lee battlecry and facial expressions. This move can also be done off of the top ropes. XX

Spin Kick: Pretty simple, but it’s one of those moves you see in every Showtime match. A quick spin kick to the gut of a running opponent stops them cold in their tracks, and one to the face darn near puts them to sleep. XXX

Cross Armbreaker: Showtime can pull this move from out of nowhere and is one of the deadliest in his arsenal. If a move can be counted into a cross armbreaker, expect Showtime to know how to use that counter. Also, a suplex variation or hurricarana could be transition into this move. This is his favorite go-to submission, and he can tap opponents out with this move if they’re not careful. XX

The Human Highlight Reel: No-handed Twisting plancha of the top ropes onto any outside competitors. XX

The Flashback: Springboard Roundhouse Kick. Showtime uses this move to catch running opponents and opponents climbing the top ropes off-guard. XX

Flying Knee Strike: The name speaks for itself. It’s full-force, high-impact, and is especially dangerous when it’s used as a counter move. XX

Ill Nino: Showtime runs towards the turnbuckles and springboards off the top turnbuckle with a moonsault on a grounded opponent. X

Hate Crew Deathroll: Just a damn backslide pin XX
