WRESTLING INFORMATION
WRESTLING STYLE: Striker/Brawler. Dirty as fuck.
MATCH TACTICS: There’s absolutely no low Ricky won’t sink to in order to win. Heel Shit™ is practically Ricky’s trademark. Nothing is sacred, no line is too far to cross. During a match, he loves to goad opponents; begging them to throw the first punch, or offering a leg to someone who might shoot for a takedown, or even laying down for aerial opponents to see if they’ll go for a move off it. After wins, he’ll talk down to opponents when they’re on the mat or sarcastically applaud his opponents’ efforts.
Fun fact: never trust a left handed handshake from Ricky--before a match begins, especially with a hyper-face, he’ll happily shake their hand...and try to knock them out with a right hook immediately.
CHARACTER PERSONALITY: Arrogant to a fault. He genuinely sees himself as above most wrestlers, even though he has relatively minimal wrestling experience. Naturally antagonistic and generally just an asshole, Ricky goads people into wanting to fight him--whether it be trying to taunt football fans by claiming to support a rival club, generally being disdainful of anywhere he's at (up to and including his own hometown), or picking out a single person in the crowd and picking on them specifically. The gist of it, Ricky is one of the least approachable people you’ll ever meet in your life.
CHARACTER ANALYSIS: Ricky revels in people despising him. He has absolutely no problem with doing despicable shit, just in the name of getting under someone’s skin. Surprisingly intelligent, however, Ricky’s not a mindless brute that solves problems just through violence--he specifically looks to exploit fears or insecurities. He has a B.Sc. in Psychology, taking an interest in the subject more for studying people than any interest in counseling or medical work with it.
GIMMICK DESCRIPTION: Sykopath -- Ricky is an utterly disgusting human being, with a mean streak a mile wide, and violent tendencies to match.

BIOGRAPHY
- Born Michael Richard Sykes, in Washington, Tyne and Wear, England, on 14 November 1993
- Bullied in school when he was very young, developed into something of a mean streak of his own. His parents enrolled him in martial arts hoping to curb the developing delinquent streak. It didn’t work.
- Eventually took up boxing when he was old enough to compete. With relatively little formal training, just a lot of experience getting in fights, he took a bout--in which he was disqualified for deliberately kneeing his opponent in the groin. This became a streak; in 14 professional bouts, Ricky was DQed in 7 of them, with fouls ranging from biting and low blows to headbutts and spitting on opponents. He was eventually banned from competing by the British Boxing Board of Control.
- Moved to London and trained under Billy “Bulldog” Drummond as a professional wrestler; he was initially resistant to Drummond’s desire to train him, but eventually wanted some kind of fight, and accepted. He was one of Drummond’s first trainees, and not so much part of a graduating class like the Bulldog Breed were.
- Returned to Wearside to wrestle, but never really broke out; he’s actively resisted joining the nearby SSWA, due to a (somewhat) private belief that he wouldn’t be given a chance due to being British, and the lack of British stars in SSWA.
- Joined Johannesburg City Pro, and became the first and only Discord Champion, after leading Team Emerald in the Decimation Trials with 11 points. Originally denied a place in the JCP Championship finals, he eventually won the title on the last show, defeating reigning champion Evelyn Kuller and Rameses.
