Entrance Music: “Infra-Red” by Placebo

Entrance Description
(This will be used for the shows, so make sure you like it before saying this is the one you want.)
“Infra-Red” by Placebo fills the arena and one of GLW’s newest talents emerges from the back. The tall heavyweight slowly walks down to the ring, occasionally flexing his muscles. Tap-Out Taylor just oozes confidence.

He takes his time walking down to the ring, seemingly enjoying the fans’ negative reaction to him. The GLW fans have made it clear that they do not like Taylor and his felony conviction for murder. But Taylor has a big smile on his face as he coolly steps over the top rope and enters the ring. He flexes his pecs one last time before his entrance music dies down.

Gimmick
(Is he a guy that thinks he’s the best; is he a guy that is just happy to be doing what he loves; is he an asshole, womanizer, redneck; what’s the deal. What is he?) Tap-Out Taylor is a convicted murder. He spent twenty years in Sing Sing prison in New York before getting his conviction reduced to manslaughter. He loves torturing people in the ring. His goal is to make his opponent submit (tap-out) in every match.

Wrestling Style
(How does your guy wrestle? Is he a cheater, straight up, powerhouse, highflyer. Tell us here.) Mix between submission and power. He’s a mix of Dean Malenko and Goldberg.

Sample RP

Twenty years. That’s how long it took me to finally win my appeal. I didn’t use a deadly weapon to kill Jeremy McAdams, like the prosecution said I did. He and I just got into a fight and things just didn’t end very well for him. The prosecutors said that I hit him with a blunt-force object and the jury agreed, convicting me of murder in the first degree. But I finally won my appeal and got my conviction reduced to manslaughter, which carries a twenty-year sentence. Coincidentally I served twenty years in the Sing Sing Prison in New York.

I always knew it would be a matter of when not if my sentence would be reduced. So I’ve spent the past few years figuring out what I would do once I got out of maximum security prison. I’m thirty-six years old right now and the only job experience I have is delivering pizzas for Domino’s when I was sixteen. Then, of course, there’s the whole “convicted killer” thing I’ll have to overcome in any job interview I have. Going to be hard to get a respectable job considering I once beat a man to death, a beat a man so badly that it took twenty years to convince enough people that I killed him with my own two hands and didn’t need to use a weapon.

My lawyer suggested that I try out for a professional wrestling federation. I’m not sure if I want to do that. I mean, the last time I fought somebody, he died. I don’t want to kill someone again. I mean, it would be legal and everything since I’d be under a contract. But killing people really isn’t my style. I didn’t want Jeremy McAdams to die. I just wanted to…torture him. How would I know that picking him up and squeezing his entire body like a sack of potatoes would somehow rupture all of his internal organs and cause him death? Oh well. You live and learn.

On second thought, maybe I will give this pro wrestling a try. Maybe if I can learn to torture people without killing them I’ll do okay. I do like to hear grown men beg for their lives. That McAdams kid kept pleading for me to let him go. Well he learned his lesson for making a pass at my girlfriend, didn’t he? Sure as hell won’t be doing that again. I think it’s time that the people of professional wrestling pay for my twenty years of suffering.

I think it’s time for me to hire an agent. Hopefully these wrestling promotions won’t mind having a convicted killer on their roster. I mean, it is a violent sport, right? Maybe they’ll be happy to have someone who once killed a man with his bare hands fighting for their promotion. I’m sure the other wrestlers won’t be too happy about it, but I dare one of them to say an ill word to me about it. If they do I guarantee that wrestler won’t make it to his next match.

Timothy Michael Taylor is no more. From now on I am going to be called Tap-Out Taylor. I am ready to become the next great professional wrestler.

Conditional Acceptance Granted
Only thing we'd like to see change is some of the terminology, from a realism perspective. Instead of "convicted murderer", it may be better if you refer to Taylor as a "convicted felon". You still get to retain the back story of the character (Murder's considered to be a felony), and then you can perhaps explore other felon avenues going forward as well, since it's such a wide umbrella of topics.

Apart from that, welcome to GLW! Once we get more members, you'll definitely be booked on our debut show. :)
