Post by Gurgen Hovhanissian on Nov 21, 2015 17:36:18 GMT -5
Handler Name: Filip Janssen
How You Found Us: Through Billsta
Wrestler Name: The Armenian Beast
Nicknames: The Irradiated Imbecile, The Massive Moron, The Beast from the East (if you happen to live in the west)
Billed From: Ejmiatsin, Armenia
Billed Height & Weight: 1m96 120 kg
Picture Base/Poser: Hagrid
Alignment(Face/Heel/Tweener): Beard
Theme Music: March or Die - Motorhead ( )
Entrance Style: The Demented Rhino Dash ... Gurgen storms at the ring, usually knocking stuff, or people, over, dives through the ropes, and more often than not getting tangled up in them, and assaults his opponent.
Wrestling gear: Torn jeans, shirt in no better condition, fur coat and ancient Soviet-era combat boots, which rumor has it, he pilfered from an abandoned home in the Pripyat exclusion zone ... you might want to bring a geiger counter to the ring
Gimmick/Character (basic outline): He has neither the imagination, nor the mental endowment to engage in mind games, so when it comes to The Beast, what you see is what you get. A large, moronic, sasquatch of a man with a beard that would put the entire lineup of a ZZtop look-alike contest to shame. He keeps the company of rats, bats, mice and other assorted vermin. Where the Beast goes, lentils, cabbages and bottles of wodka tend to disappear.
Wrestling Style(Brawler, Technical, Aerial, etc.): Mostly brawler, but, being in the business for over a decade, he has picked up an assortment of holds. And he executes a grand total of one aerial move ... the dropkick
Move Set: punches, kicks, stomps, headbutt, gorilla press, chokeslam, bearhug, head vice, full nelson, spear
Signature Moves: nicking all the bacon from any buffet
Primary Finisher: Beard in the face
Description: He wraps his paw in his beard (things live in there science has yet to name) and applies a mandible claw
Secondary Finisher: Downtrodder
Description: Gurgen tried to imitate Tito Santana's Mexican hammer but failed to gain any altitude. The result was a running double axe handle blow. The set up to this is flinging his opponent into the ropes.
Backstory: A regular, maybe even on the rather bright side, boy until april 1986. Due to circumstances, his dad took him along to his job, thinking the 'emergency' was a trivial matter as usual. It was not. The date was the 26th. The location of employment, the Pripyat nuclear power plant, Chernobyl.
His brain fried by the sieverts, Gurgen grew up to be a Beast of a man. He spent most of his time in the forests of the Caucasus mountains, along with his uncle Istvan who had a logging company. After accidentally beating a man to death in a barroom brawl, his uncle Dzugashvili, an Armenian senator, bribed a judge to change the sentence into one of exile, rather than prison time. Gurgen joined a Georgian merchant vessel, the captain of which owed Dzugashvili several favors. During a stop-over in New York, a wrestling promotor spotted Gurgen and figured he's make a good monster heel for a few weeks. Gurgen lasted a tiny bit longer.

-Manager Info-(if applicable)
Gurgen has no manager as such, there are however people in his periphery, who guide him to an extent. I'll fill this in as well as possible
Manager Name: Josef Dzugashvili
Manager Pic Base: Think a slightly overweight Jason Stateham, in an expensive suit
Interference Rate: rarely
Interference Tactics: bribery, extortion, hireing 'muscle' ... never actually appears at ringside
Manager Backstory: Massively corrupt Armenian senator with designs on the presidency. Uses Gurgen's popularity to gain votes back home. Gurgen's uncle on his mother's side.
Manager Name: 'Mother'
Manager Pic Base: Sigourney Weaver, but more grey
Interference Rate: rarely, NEVER overtly
Interference Tactics: works through trusted associated, never interferes in matches
Manager Backstory: Former KGB agent, through events in the early eighties, she, out of guilt, decided to watch over the Hovhanissians. The Hovhanissians call her Mother though they're aware that she's no blood relative. As one of the few survivors of the Smirt Spionam project she is on the shitlist of, pretty much every covert agency on the planet. As such she never appears in public and is limited in what she can do for Gurgen. Few people know what she looks like. No one knows her real name, nor her exact age, though she plainly is well past retirement age.
Manager Name: Robert 'Bob' May and Frank
Manager Pic Base: Bob: your average anchorman, Frank: skinny, perpetually clad in a t-shirt from some band or other
Interference Rate: often, though mostly backstage
Interference Tactics: never in matches
Manager Backstory: A reporter/camera man team who specialized in bringing Beastly news to the world. Have followed Gurgen from one fed to the next. They tend to arrange promos, theme music and things like that, since Gurgen is too clueless to do those things himself.
