Phoenix Wrestling Bio
Full Name: Cassius Reed, “The Cassius Reed Experience”, “Plan C”
Pic Base: Xavier Woods
Theme Song: You Suck by Pour Habit
Alignment: Heel
Height: 6’
Weight: 205lbs
DOB: 4th July, 1992
Mindset
Personality: Cocky, loud, arrogant. Confident in his abilities and his looks. Chronic showboater.
Strengths:
1. Floats Like A Butterfly: Cassius is very light on his feet. He'll bob, he'll weave, he'll matrix, he'll flip, he'll do handstands, he's amazing.
2. Stings Like A Bee: Cassius isn't the most powerful wrestler, but he's very good at using what he has with his strikes. He has a similar boxing background to his brothers, but with more success, which he uses to great effect giving his punches added power.
3. All About The Show: In the ring, Cassius is as concerned about putting on a show for the fans as he is about winning a match. He tends not to get caught in a rage or anything similar, sometimes frustrating opponents with his antics
4. When In Doubt, Cheat!: Cassius is not only comfortable with cheating to win, he’s also very good at it, and has a full range of classic tricks in his arsenal.
Weaknesses:
1. Bad Elbow: Due to a childhood incident involving Aries, his right elbow has never quite been the same. By and large it's fine, but if someone targets it...
2. Put On A Show: He's a chronic showboater, and can some times get carried away in doing so, leading to his downfall.
3. Double Edged Sword: Cheating. By the law of averages, at some point, he’s gunna get caught, and penalised.
Match Tendencies: Cassius runs a two speed match. He puts on plenty of flash with his big, showy moves, frequently embellishing even the simplest moves with handstands and flips and the like. But he also employs his background heavily, using his powerful punches to weaken and tire his opponents, interspersed with flash, before looking to put people away with the big guns.
Backstage Tendencies: Cocky, bit of an instigator, jovial, looks to get under peoples skin with his verbage.
Ring Attire: Black tights, with white diamonds forming a “ring” around the thigh. White boots with Kick Pads, with a “ring” of black diamonds around the calf, mirroring the thighs. The word “CASSIUS” printed on the front waistband in bold white print. White vambraces, with black diamonds around the forearm. Plain black elbow pad on right elbow.
Moveset
Wrestling Style: Funky American Junior Heavyweight (think Amasis, combined with hints of Too Cool) with a heavy, boxing influenced striking game. (For these purposes, it’s worth noting Cassius is a Southpaw).
Will he/she use weapons?: Yep. Primary weapon are brass knucks, either used on the left hand for his big “Southpaw” punch, or to pad out his elbow pad from his “Spanish Archer” elbow.
Finishers:
Funkensteiner - Springboard Huracanrana. The Funkensteiner range of moves are Cassius’ big signature, and come with a range of variants, each uniquely named. The following are the ones so far debuted.
1a) Bride Of Funkenstein - Springboard Somersault Huracanrana. (Mascara Dorada’s
Springboard Dragonrana). Relatively rare.
1b) Son of Funkenstein - Springboard Reverse Huracanrana (Samuray Del Sol’s Rising
Sun). Even rarer.
Plan C - A Split-Legged Corkscrew Moonsault. (John Morrison’s Starship Pain).
Southpaw - A left handed Knockout Punch, typically delivered as a Left Cross. He will frequently use Brass Knucks with this move, but not exclusively.Typically delivered with little to no fanfare, as an “out of nowhere” type affair. Relatively rare, more of a desperation finisher, due to the lack of flashiness involved.
