Poses and Taunts:
You're Too Kind: Nick brings his right leg to the left and behind his left leg. He then drops to kneel on his right knee while swinging his right arm to his stomach and delivering a bow.
Am I The Only One?: Nick drops to his knees and hangs his head down to gaze reflectively at the mat.
Hang Loose: The typical hang loose hand signal (thumb and pinky extended, pointing to opposite directions) with his right hand. This is usually done as he is about to exit through the entryway and when he has his back facing the ring.
Hang Loose X: Both hands in a "Hang Loose" sign (wrists facing Nick), arms crossed in front of his chest in an X.

Ring Style
Power & Brawling: While this isn’t a primary strategy for Nick (he just isn’t big enough to overpower many people), he isn’t afraid to slug you in the mouth if push comes to shove. Also, Nick trains mightily hard and has deceptive raw power at his disposal, so he can throw his own weight in the ring as well.
Technical & Submission: This would be Nick’s primary strength. The key to his offense lies in his lightning-quick and lethally-precise roundhouse kicks. Nick will continually pepper his opponent with quick strikes to wear them down in a methodical manner. Nick also possesses an acute mat grappling acumen. He isn’t afraid to engage in grappling contests because not only does he have the athletic ability, but he also has the ingenuity to know exactly the right maneuver for any given situation.
Speedy & Aerial: Very sound. Possessing incredible athletic ability, Nick often uses his swiftness to catch his opponent off guard and create an opening for more powerful attacks. Also, being the showboat that he is, Nick rarely refuses the opportunity to put on a grandiose display of high-risk, high-flying techniques. He shows a knack for hitting big time aerial maneuvers unexpectedly to change the momentum in his favor.
Scripting the Character in Matches Against Power & Brawling: Nick often takes advantage of the bulkiness of opponents who employ this fighting style. Because power wrestlers aren’t very fast, Nick will try to keep himself out of their grasps, thereby forcing them to spend most of their energy just trying to get a hold of them. He will also try more often to take to the air, where most of these hulking bruisers can’t reach. Also, Nick will focus on kicks to the knees to take out the opponent’s vertical base before going for some submissions. He doesn’t go for many slams and pick-up maneuvers against these opponents.
Technical & Submission: Nick just tries to overmatch his opponent with his own technical and submission skills. However, he doesn’t execute many high-risk maneuvers against these guys.
Speedy & Aerial: Nick usually forgoes the quick strikes because most of these opponents are too fast for his kicks and punches to land effectively. Instead, Nick goes straight for the takedown to immediately ground his opponent and prevent him from moving around. The key is to limit the opponent’s mobility. Nick also isn’t afraid to try to one-up his opponents with some flashy aerial techniques of his own. Nick is most likely to exert his brute force against those smaller than he.

Finishers: Move Name: The Nick Roll Move Classification: Speed/Aerial Move Description: High angle senton bomb, similar to Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb. This is the finisher used in most matches.
Move Name: Tequila Bomb Move Classification: Technical/Impact Move Description: Samoan Driver/Shinsuke Nakamura's Landslide. It's kinda like Cena's FU, only Nick slams the opponent between his legs. There is also a running variation, as well as one from the top rope.
Move Name: Pan's Labyrinth Move Classification: Technical/Submission Move Description: Surfboard/Romero Special/La Tapatia. Nick stands behind a fallen opponent, who is lying stomach first to the floor. Nick places one foot down just above each of the opponent's knees and bends his or her legs up, hooking them around his or her own knees; at this point Nick grasps both of his opponent's wrists (usually slapping the opponent's back in an attempt to bring the arms in reach), and falls backwards while compressing the opponent's shoulder-blades and lifting him off the ground. Nick falls onto his back, lifting the opponent skyward.
Move Name: A Bullet With A Name Move Classificationm: Technical/Strike Move Descirption: It's kinda like Bruce Lee's infamous five-inch punch, only instead of a punch, it's a thrusting palm stirke. Nick starts off by extending his index, middle, ring, and pinky fingers forward while tucking in his thumb. He then places his fingertips on the area of the opponent's chest where his heart would be located. Nick then quickly twists his hand so that his palm faces outward, then thrusts it the short distance straight into the opponent's chest. This usually results in the opponent collapsing in a flaccid heap to the mat. There is also an "Executioner" variation, which involves the opponent kneeling down and Nick striking the back of the opponent's head.
Trademarks: Move Name: Stratovariance Move Classification: Power/Impact Move Description: Akira Taue's Ore Ga Taue/belly to back suplex hold into chokeslam.
Move Name: It Came From Venice Beach Move Classification: Speed/Impact Move Description: Running sleeper drop
Move Name: Blazing Magus Move Classification: Speed/Aerial Move Description: Single-leg diving dropkick. Rob Van Dam used to perform this move. Nick can perform this from the top rope, a springboard, or by hopping onto the second rope and leaping backward to thrust the sole of his shoe into the opponent's face.
Move Name: Gyroscope Kick Move Classification: Speed/Striking Move Description: AJ Styles' Pele. Facing away from the opponent, Nick flips backward and brings one foot straight over the head of the opponent.
Move Name: Irish Screwdriver Move Classification: Speed/Impact Move Description: Inverted facelock into neckbreaker, similar to Matt and Jeff Hardy's Extreme Twist of Fate.
Basic Moves:
1. STO 2. Discus Elbow Smash 3. Straight Ankle Lock 4. Octopus Hold 5. Camel Clutch Sleeper 6. Kimura 7. Guillotine Choke 8. Backhand chop to seated opponent's back, followed by football kick to face, finished off with a running senton splash 9. Inverted atomic drop, followed by running elbow smash, finished off with running knee drop 10. Snap scoop powerslam, followed by crucifix armbar

Copy and paste, baby, just copy and paste. [/u][/center] Lights cut to dark.Henshin a go go, baby!The intro to “What I Want” by Daughtry kicks into gear as blinding white lights chaotically flicker near the entryway, illuminating Nick Durden’s enigmatic silhouette hopping on his feet and headbanging, getting himself psyched up for the impending match. The lights return as Nick steps out from the entryway. He flashes a quick look to both sides of the audience before running to the left side of the stage and taunting enthusiastically, inciting uproarious cheers. Nick runs to the opposite side of the stage and repeats, receiving a similar ovation. Nick returns to the center of the stage and begins his march to the ring. With about ten feet remaining between himself and the ring, he breaks out into a sprint and slides into the ring. He flashes a quick look to the audience before rising up to his feet. Nick walks to one turnbuckle and mounts the second rope, taunting to the audience once more. He dismounts and walks to the other turnbuckle and repeats. Once he dismounts the second turnbuckle, he tosses away his trench coat and begins stretching out.[/color]

I like how you have fewer moves now. It'll make writing your matches much more easier. >_>
