Strike 2 Kill

TEAM NAME: Strike 2 Kill
TEAM MEMBERS: Liam Richardson, Miles Watson
BILLED FROM: Brooklyn, New York

TEAM/FACTION BIOGRAPHY: Richardson and Watson come from two different worlds; with Richardson having grown up in the United Kingdom whilst Watson was raised in New York. Their passion for professional wrestling brought them together, when Richardson was touring the independent scene in boroughs of New York, he would have a series of career defining matches with Watson which led to the two joining forces. Under the tutelage of Your Hero and Mine, Mark Storm, the two formed Strike 2 Kill in 2018 and haven't looked back since.

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good

WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: These guys have a never die attitude that the fans love to get behind. They're both pretty athletic, showing off flashy spots and routines to excite to crowd, plus their whole mantra is striking to kill - so whenever they go into a frenzy of strikes, the fans love to get behind them.

WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: They can get ahead of themselves and showboat a little, they're confident guys but it can usually lean into arrogance, depending on the opponent and the scenario - and if needed they'll happily play the villains to a team of babyfaces. When they do adopt that role, that tends to mean that they're more vicious with their attacks and punishing.

TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
- Rarely

THEME SONG: 'Finished I Ain't' by Ghostpoet



MATCH TENDENCIES: They're strategic and methodical, usually have a game plan coming into the match and their main goal throughout is setting the tempo and rhythm. Quick tags followed by a sequence of team moves is the usual approach, cornering their opponents so they can strike to kill.

BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: They're approachable guys but you don't want to get on the wrong side of them. For the most part, they'll keep themselves to themselves.

FIGHT-ENDING STYLE:
- OUT-WRESTLING: Beats the opponent using their preferred wrestling style.
- CEREBRAL: Overcomes the opposition through intelligence, ingenuity and superior ring psychology.
- SUPERIOR STAMINA: Uses their superb conditioning to wait for the opponent to tire, before ending the fight on their terms.

(Nash Carter/Zachary Wentz)

Name: Liam Richardson
Height: 5'10
Weight: 180lbs
DOB(Age): August 18th, 1997
Hometown: London, England

Character Description:
Richardson is a former martial arts champion turned professional wrestler, who comes from a wealthy background having trained in several different martial arts for the majority of his life. Richardson has come to Zion alongside his tag team partner Miles Watson in order to stake their claim as the best tag team in the world, with their goal to dominate the division. Richardson is colder, more calculated than his partner Miles Watson, but that isn't to say he isn't a laugh to be around. He is typically English in a sense, with quick witted humour and sarcasm being his go to in any situation, yet when it comes to business he shows no weakness and is very much focused on what he has to do in the ring. 

Character Singles Entrance Description (With Singles Theme, if applicable):

Arsonist Lullabuy by Hozier plays through the arena and out steps Liam Richardson from the back. He has a cold look in his eye as he stands on the top of the entrance ramp, looking down at the ring as Gregory Murphy lingers behind him. Richardson struts his way down the ramp, nodding his head to the tune as he leaps onto the apron and slingshots his way into the ring. He climbs to the top rope, posing for the fans as his theme song slowly diminishes in the background.

In-Ring Strengths:
Strengths include a varied wrestling style, he's very intelligent and is also resilient.

In-Ring Weaknesses:
Weaknesses are he has temper issues, and not the biggest of guys out there too.

Singles Signatures (Min. of 2; Max. of 4):
1. 'Rage of Glory' – Often performs this move out of nowhere or when he's back pedalling in the match, Richardson suddenly delivers a hard shoot kick to the thigh of his opponent who drops to a knee. Grabbing the back of his opponent's head, he delivers three consecutive knee strikes to the face before bringing his opponent back up and Irish whip into the ropes. He's quick, performing each move fast. He runs at his opponent, a hard back elbow to the head, with his back against his opponent - he drives each elbow back into his opponent several times, taking a step forward as his opponent stumbles out of the corner, before culminating the sequence with a sweet overhead kick.

2. 'Fuck Honour! ' – After being on the receiving end of some punishment, Richardson has stomached all of his pain and anguish, allowing it to take over his body. He blocks a strike attempt from his opponent before all of a sudden bursts into a frenzy of boxing strikes, closed fists - connecting all over the body of his opponent who can't answer the frenzy of strikes, defenceless as Richardson loses himself with his strikes. The one strike that does it all is right at the end, where he connects with a sickening right hook that knocks his opponent down to the canvas.

3. 'Senton Kick' – Leaning his opponent against the corner, he connects with two knife edge chops that echoes through the arena. His opponent stumbles out, clutching onto their chest and he runs to the ropes, bouncing off of them and running towards his opponent, a senton kick to his stationary opponent who crumbles to the canvas.

4. 'London's Calling!' – Combination of strikes followed by an enziguri





Singles Finishers (Min. of 1; Max. of 2):
1. For Our Majesty! (Richardson signals the end of the match, a finger in the air and a stern look in his eyes. Pulling his opponent back up onto their feet, he lifts them up in a vertical base - managing to show brute strength as he holds them there before swivelling their body around as he brings them down, a modified brainbuster connecting.

2. Your Last Hurrah! (Modified double underhook guillotine choke)

(Dezmond Xavier/Wes Lee)

Name: Miles Watson
Height: 5'9
Weight: 183lbs
DOB(Age): September 12th, 1996 (25)
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York

Character Description:
Watson is cool, charming, confident and more approachable than his tag team partner Liam Richardson, but when it comes down to business he's as focused as anyone else. Watson is a technical gift, or so he calls himself, so he will tend to wanna catch-wrestle and get a feel for his opponents, usually bettering them when it comes to the pure style of wrestling - will show off and taunt his opponents. Like Richardson, loves to play mind-games and is a master of it.

Character Singles Entrance Description (With Singles Theme, if applicable):
Arsonist Lullabuy by Hozier plays through the arena and out steps Miles Watson from the back. He has a smile on his face as he emerges onto the stage, signalling a cut-throat as the camera pans towards him. He makes his way down the entrance ramp, high-fiving a few of the fans in the front row before leaping onto the apron and slingshotting his way into the ring. He climbs the top rope and poses for the fans, as his theme song slowly fades out. 

In-Ring Strengths:
- THE LUCHA: Relies on superb speed and agility, as well as a chain wrestling form of free fighting that wows the audience and bamboozles their opponent. Impressive displays of acrobatics render the need for power and force obsolete.

- THE ALL-ROUNDER: Combines a variety of styles from different disciplines to disable and defeat their opponent.

- THE STRONG STYLIST: Relies on hard-hitting (often stiff) moves and sharp strikes. Whether it's punches, chops, kicks, throws or submission holds, this fighter wants to hit hard, hit fast and hurt their foes.

In-Ring Weaknesses:
Temper issues, not the biggest of guys out there too.
