| T.J. KILLINGBECK 'The Cray-Zee From Ayy-Zee' Origin: Tombstone, Arizona Height: 6' Weight: 211 lbs. Theme Music: "Hair of the Dog" - Guns n' Roses Appearance: Thomas Jack [TJ] Killingbeck has traditionally sported long, black, greasy hair that falls to his shoulders and over his face, but has recently favoured short, oily-looking spikes. Several light scars are visible around his eyes, forehead and arms, and he sometimes wrestles with his two false front teeth missing. Additionally, Killingbeck has the word "UNTOUCHABLE" tattooed across his stomach in a wide arc [like an upside-down "U"] in an 'Old English' font. TJ seems to have a near-perpetual scowl over a stubbly face, which sports two short tufts of hair on opposite sides of his chin. |
| Ring Attire: TJ looks perpetually ratty, wearing cut-off grey camouflage pants to the ring and covering his feet with scruffy-looking Doc Marten boots. Coming to ringside with his hands and wrists taped, TJ still wears a variety of pop-culture t-shirts [comic book characters, 80's heavy metal rock bands, offensive slogans, etc.] that remain in various states of disrepair. He also carries a Singapore cane wrapped in barbed wire. Personality/Gimmick: First glances at Killingbeck usually conjure up a single term: "trailer trash". Despite being born into an extremely poor family in an Arizona trailer park, however, the quarter-Mexican, quarter-Cherokee, half-caucasian wrestler nevertheless seems to be both highly intelligent and somewhat devoid of good hygene. Witty, sarcastic and smarter than your average bear, Killingbeck is a master of the smack-talk promo and a man who enjoys getting under people's skin. A classic heel who's nevertheless found a massive groundswell of fan support since his days in 'The Untouchables', TJ is sneaky, deceptive, and always takes wrestling to his preferred "extreme" style whenever possible. Killingbeck also seems to have an almost unnatural resistance to pain, and while not above becoming a little crazy with his Singapore cane, he is also a gifted cruiserweight with a very solid mat-based repitoire who has proven himself versatile both as a singles and tag team wrestler. Though his outlook towards the fans has remained the same - he bends the rules and breaks them at will - Killingbeck remains the most trustworthy ally to any he sides with, and the fiercest of enemies to all that oppose him. Common Maneuvers: - Quick Jabs - Bionic Elbow - Dropkick variations [standing, springboard, Missile] - Hurricarana variations [standing, top rope] - Flying Forearm - Enziguri Kick - Spinning Wheel Kick - Over-The-Top Belly-to-Belly Suplex - Northern Lights Suplex - Back Suplex - Snap Suplex - Suicide Dive - Impact DDT / Inverted DDT - Death Valley Driver Trademark Moves: 1. Knife-Edge Chops. Killingbeck's chops are legendary... and blisteringly fast. 2. Sit-Out Piledriver. TJ will often employ his piledriver as a set-up for his finisher. 3. "Buzzkiller". Chickenwing-bodyscissors submission hold [alternate finisher]. Finisher: Killingbeck has traditionally employed his "Six Feet Under" [Shooting Star Press] as his finisher, but has recently developed an elbow drop SSP variation he prefers to use called the "Thrill Hammer". Strengths: 1. Unsurpassed stamina. TJ's prime trait as a wrestler is the ability to absorb massive amounts of punishment and take gigantic bumps... and yet somehow still go on. 2. Completely fearless. Balcony dives and crashing through tables are commonplace for TJ, who's not afraid to put his body on the line if he thinks it necessary. 3. Just plain mean. TJ doesn't so much wrestle as he does get downright dirty, and he's not afraid of anyone, regardless of size, ability or reputation. Weaknesses: 1. Injuries. Killingbeck's extreme aerial style has seen him take a variety of injuries over the years, and they've slowed him down. His knees and shoulders have all been injured in the past, and these areas can also be used against him by opponents in the know. 2. Lack of power. Essentially a cruiserweight, he can be overcome by bigger, more powerful men in tests of strength. 3. Fearlessness. No doubt Killingbeck's career will end with him attempting some stunt that will break his neck.
