Name: Captain 80’s
Real Name: Jake Piper
Nicknames: Cap’, Cap’n, Capitan Quatre-vingts, The Keymaster of Gozer
Entrance Music:
Entrance Moves: As the music hits and strobe lights flash freneticall, The Captain arrives on the stage wearing a pink vinyl jacket that has been airbrushed with “80” in periwinkle and bedazzled, tassels hanging from the entire length of his arms. The jacket has remarkable shoulder pads which are covered by purple epaulets, and giant gold buttons line the front though he wears it opened. His facepaint takes on the shape of a comically large, brightly colored eyepatch over his right eye. He wears a headband under his severely teased blond hair, featuring a blue anchor over a red rising sun. On his right hand is a disco-ball-esque glove. His Zubaz tear-away pants feature blue stripes before they disappear into his white, calf-high, heeled boots. Halfway down the ramp, he produces a ludicrously long, telescoping, brass spyglass, and looks over the crowd. He affects a surprised look, then points into the stands, and invites a “First Mate” (what he calls his fans) down to help him remove his extra attire. The fan (always a female) helps him remove his jacket, headband, and pants to reveal his bright yellow trunks, yellow tassels around his biceps, and yellow wrist tape.

Gimmick:
The Captain is a send up of classic wrestling, particularly from the era which gave him his name. The Captain still believes in a time in which good guys were heroes, bad guys wore mustaches, and a woman was a prize worthy of fighting for. He’s a showman at heart, and his ‘captain’ gimmick comes into play less often than tributes to classic gimmicks.
Story:
Five years ago, Captain 80s was recruited as part of the Stars of Tomorrow. When the tryouts were over, the three contracts up for grabs when to Ratana Som, Mark Reznik, and Gian Jones, and the Captain’s services were no longer needed. He lent his gimmick to Remi Monroe for a short time before shipping off, and other than a cheap imitation back in 2015, wasn’t seen or heard from again. The Captain resurfaced in 2018 after the Lord of Trios tournament launched UGWC to the forefront of interpromotional cooperation. The Captain signed up for the Chill brand extension and the Monarchy of Anarchy tournament posthaste.
