Entrance Music: ‘You Are A Runner and I Am My Father’s Son’ by Wolf Parade

Entrance Description: The opening drum beat of ‘You Are A Runner and I Am My Father’s Son’ fills the arena as the lights start to flicker exactly to the beat of the song. David Stryker walks out on the entrance ramp and heads directly down to the ring, eyes locked at the squared circle. He uses the bottom rope to drag himself onto the apron, dusts off his boots, then enters through the ropes. He takes off his hood in the center of the ring, posing for the crowd for a few seconds before taking his place in his corner.

Ring Attire: Black boots with kickpads, black and red tights, white tape on both wrists. A hooded leather jacket for entrances.

Out-of-Ring Appearance: T-shirts and ripped jeans.

CHARACTER & STORY ELEMENTS

Gimmick / Character Description:

David Stryker has wrestling in his blood. The grandson of California wrestling scene legend Douglas Stryker, the son of multiple time World Champion Adam Stryker and former female wrestling and MMA standout Maria Dainelli, David grew up around the wrestling ring and knew that the only thing he ever wants to be is a pro-wrestler and a champion like the rest of his family. His moveset is an heirloom from his father’s career – the Strech Muffler submission Adam passed down to him, the modern variation of Vortex, Adam’s first finisher, the Sleeping Pill move Adam used years ago, and moves inspired by one of his trainers Derrick Wiland and Adam’s first real friend in the business, the late great John Pariah. Now, freshly turned 18, he can finally step into the ring and continue the family legacy. After finishing his training in the Stryke Dojo, he signed his first professional contract with AWS.

Motivation:

Titles and family legacy.

Personality Traits:

Hot headed loudmouth to everyone other than his family and close ones. Obeys only those who raised him, in or outside the ring.

Ongoing or Potential Storylines:

– Hunt for the first title

– Taking his father’s side in a multi-man feud

– Disrespecting a babyface veteran
