Ring Attire [/u] [/size] [/color] -

Head [/u] - Almost always, no matter what the situation, Garland will be wearing his trademark gray bandanna. The design of the bandanna from the top is that of a Gothic style put together through black lace here and there. The bandanna is tied in the back and worn over his shoulder length silver hair. Garland has sideburns that pass just below his ears, his eyes being hazel and his lip being pierced on the right side.

Torso [/u] - Garland wears a necklace around his neck that's stainless steel, the design being a small silver badger. He is never seen without this necklace around his neck, it's symbolism meaning something to him.

Over his torso, Garland wears usually a red sleeveless shirt. The shirt has his name on the back designed all fancy and the like. His shirt color may often be red but he also sometimes wears the same style in gray, yellow, and blue.

Arms [/u] - Garland likes to keep his right hand taped up while he wears a black fingerless glove over his left. The black glove over his left hand is cut at his wrist and is studded over the knuckles, his right hand taped up towards his lower forearm.

Lower Body [/u] - Placed over his lower half is almost always a pair of beige cargo pants. The pants are held to Garland through a normal looking belt, the legs of the pants left roomy to allow Garland to move more fluid. Garland's shoes are a darkened black with a small red flame design running along the bottom of each one on the outside.

Entrance Motion [/u] [/size] [/color] -

Entrance Theme[/i] - Zeromind - "Sick Inside"
( youtube.com/watch?v=vikKgySk_ls )

Bounce, Bounce, With Me! [/i] [/size]

The opening lyrics of "Sick Inside" blast over the PA system as the instrumental begins to play. The crowd is placed in a aggressive state as they boo the oncoming member of the ACW roster. After a short while, Robert Garland heads out of the back and stands on the center of the entranceway. He looks out at the fans before smiling coyley and beginning his descent down the ramp.

The fans continue to boo and make obscene hand gestures as Garland heads for the ring. He pulls himself up onto the apron still carrying that coy smile as he slightly looks out at the fans once more before stepping in between the top and middle ropes. Once inside the ring, Garland pulls himself up onto the nearest turnbuckle, grabs his badger necklace in one hand and points to it aggressively with the other before raising both hands high into the air, a look of confidence now shining on his face.

Garland descends back down to the ring's floor and stares up the entranceway, his entrance theme fading as he awaits his coming opponent with a now slightly serious look...

Signature Moves [/color] [/size] -

#1 - Bite of the Badger (***) - (Running Senton Front Dropkick to sitting cornered opponent) ~ Garland runs from the opposite corner as his opponent is cornered in. He usually taunts out to the crowd before charging in. He can do it w/o running if he needs to hit it fast but without the running it lacks a lot of the impact.

#3 - Brain Damage! (***) - (Out of nowhere move) (Roundhouse Kick to the head) (Stuns opponent on their feet.)
#4 - Badger's Roar (***) - (Forward Thrusting Big Boot) (Knocks opponent back and to the mat.) (Usually used after Brain Damage.)

Finishers [/color] [/size] -

#1 - Cradle DDT - (****) ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT_%28professional_wrestling%29#Fisherman_DDT)
#2 - Rear Naked Choke (****) - ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_Naked_Choke)



Ring Logic -

Work the opponent down from the bare minimum and make them have a weakness. Attack what's showing signs of said weakness and keep it up until they start to feel it working. Avoid the top rope unless I have a clear shot at hitting one of the only two moves I would be up there for.

Even though I am a heel, I do not like to get dirty finishes. What I mean by that is I would rather finish my opponent with a pinfall or submission so I could truly hold the victory over their head in the future. Even though I wouldn't normally pull off a dirty finish, I may be known too if my back is against the wall...

I am not afraid of my own blood either. In my history I have been in many bloody matches that would be too brutal to watch if they were real.

YES! Garland you are the fucking man! Welcome to ACW bro.

[rosslambert]

Is that Axl Rose in your sig? Funny, because I'm changing my poser to Duff McKagan.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's Chase Stevens. Didn't see that notice. >_> Still, didn't you use him at one point?

[Dan White]

Hey dude, welcome. Awesome profile, too.

[BK London]

Welcome to ACW.

[redbadger]

To Mainer -

Of course I used Rose...

After I had to find another poser in GWF, Petey Williams being snatched up <_>

[rosslambert]

It'd be epic if you went back to Rose, then we'd form some sort of tag team. >_>

[acevans]

You could call yourself...Guns n' Roses?
