Entrance Moves: Johnny strides out to the ramp and heads straight down to the ring. He doesn’t run, but walks fast, fist and jaw clenched. The only thing that’ll slow him down is someone shouting at him or waving an anti-Johnny sign where he’ll kick the crowd barrier or try to make them flinch.
He slides into the ring and tends to continue pacing in circles until his opponent comes out.

Diving Double Foot Stomp - Big Matches only.

Primary Finisher: The Muppet Breaker - Elevated Texas Cloverleaf.
Secondary Finisher: Ballistic Buster - Fisherman’s Brainbuster.
Personality: Johnny is intense, violent and above all else, bitter. He’s usually quiet, when he does talk it’s often through gritted teeth. He has no trouble cheating to win, using weapons, etc.
Biography: Johnny isn’t a smart guy and coming out of school went straight into manual labour work. While he was doing this he decided to try to get into professional wrestling, his childhood passion. Johnny had dreams of moving to America, being on TV and headlining shows around the world. The reality was quite different.
Johnny was good and became popular on the British Indie scene, holding a number of titles across the country. But that was about it. The highlight of Johnny’s career was a spell opening shows and jobbing in Japan for a year before returning to his life of obscurity in Britain.
Johnny’s big break has finally come at the hands of his now partner, Duncan Ryder. Johnny has only come to GIW as he was sent to watch and mentor the younger man who is still inexperienced and resents him for the success he’s achieved with so little work.

Fighting Style: British Technical/Balanced

Primary Finisher: Dashing Driver - Cradle Shock from a Fishman's Suplex position (hope that makes sense).
Secondary Finisher: Standing Dragon Sleeper.
Personality: Duncan likes to consider himself the lovable rogue, even more so that he is in America where he’s found even his accent is a great tool for him.
He likes to be the centre of attention, likes to talk a lot and likes to show off. He doesn’t like being shown up. Doesn’t like when people don’t like him.
Biography: Duncan was raised in a good area to fairly successful parents. He did well enough in school and was fairly popular. As a kid he was always an athlete and played football and rugby.
Duncan eventually went to University to study sport science and keep playing Rugby. When he graduated and realised he aims of being a professional rugby player weren’t going to plan out he looked for a new physical outlet. This is when he started professional wrestling.
Though he lacks experience, Duncan’s natural athleticism gives him a great deal of potential which more experienced trainers can see. Though he hasn’t has the greatest of success in the UK, he has been signed as part of a talent exchange with GIW who believe with the right nurturing he could become a future star. He has been sent with his reluctant partner Johnny to develop in GIW.
