The thing about your gimmick is.. your gimmick is a background. .__. Then going more into it, that background doesn't even make sense.. how do you get abandoned at the age of 5 and still make it into professional wrestling? Then I have something against your finishers, but that's just me hating the over used Piledriver finisher from every new guy who walks in here..

Well I will say I wanted to leave a lot in mystery as to explain it as I develop the character. That is the thing about creating an entirely new character. I have to come up with his story myself as I am going along. I will add a little to it to clarify how he got into the wrestling world.
His Finisher is The Pounce, the piledriver is just a signature.

My advice is elaborate on your gimmick alittle. Like, how you would act in the ring, your character's personality, etc.
As for the finishers, I think they're alright, but if you're looking for something more original, just google "unique wrestling moves", that's what I used to do. xd
Also, try spacing your profile out and adding some formatting to it. razz

I also elaborated a little so that it would clarify how he made his break into wrestling.

Yeah I agree with Justin on this. Your Gimmick, isn't really a Gimmick. For example.
My Character, Johnathan Riker. (Which by the way been known to use the Dog of War nickname, not as much as his The Entity or The Nightmare.) Anyways, like I was saying, my character, Johnathan Riker is also a loner, and was abandoned, well not so much abandon, but was without any real parents at a young age, much like your character. HOWEVER, a loner Gimmick will not get you far without something that makes your character special.
When I first brought Riker in, I'm guessing they're were like over 10 other Characters that basically had the same Gimmick as you. Loner, with a mean streak, looking to make a name for himself, only for self-satisfaction and not the attention or admiration of others. If I kept Riker as he was he would of faded into obscurity like a few of my other characters.
So I decided to evolve the Riker character. I gave him flaws, I made him more Human. Not only is he a loner, but Mentally Unstable. Not like he has an anger problem, no. Everyone experiences bouts of Anger. No Johnathan Riker is considered legal insane. He has said things that make sense only to him, yet is highly intelligent other times. Think of him like The Joker of The Dark Knight. There is a Method to his Madness. After I had him evolve into a legal crazy, I added something unique at least I find it unique.
Now follow me on this. Riker is a loner, he doesn't like any superstar or Authority figure. However he does believe in giving the fans what they want. Yet in his mind he believes he has to keep a certain balance within the Wrestling Community. Here's an example of what Riker would define as keeping the balance, I'll summarize to keep it short and sweet.
Chrono had control of the EEW, a match was held to determine A champion and Owner, if I'm not mistaken. Now Jed had came to match and SHOOT Chrono. Now Chrono may had been the heel, but Johnathan found Jed's act far to evil, and even through it was to save the EEW. Johnathan began to target Jed, for his cowardice act. So basically what happened was.
Even through Jed had saved the EEW, and Chrono was no longer in control, Riker believed Jed had tarnished the belt, his reputation, and EEW itself with his act, and targeted Jed, even through Jed saved the EEW. So to sum Riker's Gimmick up, I would say. He is a loner, to Superstars and Authority Figures. He loves the crowd, yet doesn't really display his feelings for them. His actions speak for him on that part. He is mentally unstable, yet at times his madness is frighteningly logical
Also to elaborate on his Gimmick it also reaches into Ring Actions and not just personality outside of it. How does your character stand, or walk. Is the look in his eyes savage or civil. My character Riker has moments of Civility when he address the crowd or talks to others, yet his mental disorder will obstruct that at times. He gives off a more animal attitude aswell. He has a crooked posture, and grinds his teeth. Tilts his head and gives animal like gazes and stares at people. He doesn't show off in the ring, it's the loner in him. He fights more like a scrapper, brawler, technician. He doesn't have a high flying move in his arsenal, nor does he have power moves like a Chokeslam, or F5. He's small and savage, with a mental disorder that gives him moments of instability, as well as moments of terrify intellect.
That's just an example of how I separated my Loner character from the rest. He can't just be a loner, with a bad attitude, that Shtick gets old, find a way to make that Gimmick your own.

wow that was a lot to read...but I get what you are trying to say. Seeing as I just created the character, it will probably take me some time to come up with some tngs that seperate him from the likes of Johnathan Riker and the other loner characters. I need some time to evaluate where exactly it is I want to take him.
