Gimmick:
Wrestling is basically all Corey Black knows. He began training at age 17, debuted at age 18, and hasn't looked back ever since. His homelife wasn't great. It never is for professional wrestlers, is it? After witnessing the death of his brother and sister at the hands of his father at a very young age, it is believed 'Creeping Death' came out for the very first time, and when Corey came back to, a baseball bat had been swung at his fahter's head. A lot. Self defense was the judgement, all things considered. Corey then lived with his mother, who remarried. His step-father wasn't that great of character either, forcing Corey to use the name "James Volz," his own last name and a pretend first name, probably to hide Corey's past. A car accident, a loss of a mother, and a directionless boy wandered into a pro wrestling school in Des Moines, Iowa. Corey's trainer, 'The Crow,' witnessed 'Creeping Death' first hand in the ring one day, and gave the rage a face in the form of a white base and black circles around the eyes, then four black lines over the mouth. Corey was a standout, committing his entire waking life to training.
His legendary career is widely documented, and he's not afraid to put people in their place, either with words or Burning Hammers. During 2012, Corey Black worked hard to create a weapon out of his elbow, and he has succeeded in this mission. Through 2013, Creeping Death manifested once again and took over, the more violent version of Corey Black reared its head and wrecked house.
More recently (a few years ago), Corey Black's elbow had been the target of an attack, requiring major reconstruction surgery. The elbow, which is Corey's main weapon, is now mostly made of metal.
Corey is currently on his 'retirement tour' heading toward December 2017.
His appearance in UCI is in question, nobody really knows what he's doing beyond gunning for the Hypermedia Championship he won recently.
Height/weight:
5'9'' - 218lbs
Date of Birth
June 6th, 1983
Hometown:
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Alignment (Face/heel/neutral):
Smark face, general audience heel
Appearance/attire:
Long dark brown near black hair, gray/light blue eyes, super long almost viking-like beard.
He has decent muscle tone. Not Batista style or anything, but not a slob either. He has two piercings; one in his left eyebrow with a spike, and the right side of his lower lip with a hoop. CD's left arm is a full sleeve of tattoos, featuring skulls, spider webs, pumpkins, monsters like vampires, werewolves, zombies and most things Halloween. A new tattoo is that of tribal markings on his upper chest, going over both his shoulders and onto his back. CD has a scar of a row horizontal lines on the right side of his body on his ribcage from a weed whacker.
Black tights, with a white silhouette of a man in a suit with a gun to his head on the front left, Corey's right. A colorful burst of blood trails from the man's head around the tights and across the back. Black boots with black kick pads, red lining around the kick pads, with dripping blood from the top of them. Black knee pads that connect to the kick pads. Black wrist tape, red right elbow pad, black left.
Entrance (Specify music):
"Ten Ton Hammer" by Machine Head hits the PA as the lights drop and purple lights illuminate the arena. A few moments later Corey Black emerges from the backstage area wearing a worn looking black leather vest with "ALL HAIL" - a skull with a crown - and "THE KING" on the back of it. The crowd cheers along with great appreciation, a few boos scattered in as Corey makes his way to the ring, little interaction with anyone, just focus on the squared circle. Black slides into the ring and lifts his right elbow to the sky as most of the crowd loses their mind. Corey drops his vest to the floor and simply waits in the corner, bouncing back and forth, anticipating the coming battle.
Style:
CD does it all. At the day's end, he'll rely on his high flying, high-impact moves and striking (long stays in Japan) styles the most, but he's well known as a fantastic technician (training with Rick Mad) and hardcore wrestler as well. Not afraid of anything at all, no risk nor object nor man will hinder CD. The moves listed below are just a sample of the wide variety of moves Corey Black uses, it's almost impossible to list them all, Corey's ability to innovate new moves has always garnered the ire of opponents that attempt to scout him. Because if his ability to adapt, he has many moves that could potentially end a match. A 'signature move' is a lost idea on Corey Black, he has his moves that he knows will put someone away like the Burning Hammer of Phoenix Splash, but his technique is so advanced that a Brainbuster or knee strike will be able to put a man down for three.
Common Match Tactics:
- Will flip out of moves and land in the "superhero landing pose" to annoy opponents, making them charge in and get caught with a counter move.
- Flash roll-ups are not an uncommon occurrence.
- Sometimes kicks out at 1 after a big move late in the match.
- Does moves onto the apron either for more damage or as a punctuation.
- Very good at creative reversals.
- Rarely showboats, usually does moves quickly and with purpose.
- Not the best at submissions, but can maneuver out of most due to years of training.
- Doesn't spend much time outside the ring when a countout is in effect. Will dive onto opponents, but doesn't waste time brawling.
- Utilizes various colors of the "Asian Mist" as a last resort tactic if the opponent will not go down.
Commonly Used Moves:
Strikes: Elbow strikes (to head, face, chest, knees, legs, arms etc), knee strikes (same), most kicks (super, roundhouse, drop, front, side, spinning, heel, big boot, Yakuza Kick etc)
Grapples: Suplexes (t-bone, gargoyle, vertical, exploder, german, half nelson, tiger, dragon etc), DDTs (normal, jumping, running, Asai etc), Slams (body, side, uranage, STO, etc), Neckbreakers (sitdown, spinning, Stunner, Cutter), Bombs (normal, sitout, kneeling, crucifix etc)
Running: Yakuza Kick, Busaiku Knee Strike, Dropkick, Clotheslines (normal, flip, leaping etc), spear, leaping double stomp (CD will either run at or catch a running opponent in the chest/head with both feet and forcefully stomp them down to the mat. Requires CD to leap high and bring his knees up to get the kind of height needed)
Aerial: Elbow drop, leg drop, moonsault, springboard variations (from middle rope, top rope, outside to top to inside, etc) Splashes (normal, twisting, 360, shooting star) Sentons (back, flip), Double Stomp (normal, moonsault to, front flip to)
Corner: Tornado DDT, running Yakuza Kick, middle/top rope versions of other moves listed
Submission: Dragon Sleeper, Triangle Choke, Single Leg Boston Crab, Cross Arm Breaker
Special (Possible Match Ending) Moves:
Brainbuster, Fisherman Brainbuster, Backdrop Driver, Lariat, Reverse Rana, Superkick, Falcon Arrow,, Death Valley Driver, Van Daminator/Terminator, Kudome Valentine (Vertebreaker), Shining Wizard, Strong Style Knee Strike (BomaYe/Kinshasa/V-Trigger type of strike), Penalty Kick (running punt type kick to the head/chest of a seated opponent), Frog Splash, 450 Splash, Shooting Star Press
"The Royal Beheading" - Corey will pick the opponent up onto his shoulder and clutch their head behind his back in an Air Raid Crash/White Noise/Belly to Back Piledriver hold. From here, he'll pull their head forward and drop to one knee, dropping the opponent neck/head first onto his leg while being held upside down.
"MUNK'D (Mitch Uh No Koo Driver)" - Michinoku Driver
(usually used against opponents he cannot lift) CD takes the opponent and applies a front face lock. He then front flips over the opponent in a move resembling a Northern Lights Suplex by his opponent, but instead CD delvers a front flip DDT. Depending on the momentum he gets while jumping, the opponent will either spike ridiculously awkward or backflip over and get dominated.
With the opponent laying on the mat, Corey runs toward the ropes and leaps up to the middle rope like he was going for a Lionsault. Instead, he springs backward while rotating forward, executing a springboard imploding 450 Splash to the opponent.
Strikes to the back of the head or to a seated opponent. Be it Rolling Elbow, Superkick, knee strike or a Yakuza Kick.
Superkick-Superkick-Discus Lariat Combo
Turnbuckle variations of common moves. Powerbomb to the corner, exploder suplex into the corner, you get the idea. The crazier the better.
From the apron, Corey will leap over the top rope, and land on the middle rope, springing into the ring with a move. Usually a knee strike, but can be basically anything.
Finishing Moves:
"For Victory or Death" - Repeated elbow strikes to the side of the opponent’s head while holding the opponent in a modified seated abdominal stretch. Either KO or submission.
Super Finishers:
Phoenix Splash
"Cry of the Black Birds" - With the opponent standing in the corner, Corey hops to the middle rope and bends over, hooking them in a suplex. From here, Corey lifts them up to the suplex position and flips them into a bomb while leaping forward, hitting a middle rope Orange Crush Bomb.

Subsection: Creeping Death
Once considered simply the persona of Corey Black, it was five powerbombs from Odin Balfore that forced Corey to put the facepaint and 'extreme' style away. Creeping Death was no more, Corey Black emerged. However, it isn't that simple. See, Creeping Death isn't just facepaint and black clothes. Corey Black claims there is an internal struggle to keep Creeping Death away from the forefront. In a very rare scenario, Corey will indeed step back, and once Creeping Death comes out, it is a whole new ballgame. The viciousness picks up. Brutal weapons are preferred. When Creeping Death first started to attempt to take over, it was a horror movie every day of Corey's life. Things would move, fly across the room, and overall just be terrible.
Recently, Creeping Death broke free from the place it dwelled and waged war upon the world as we know it. It has been taken from Corey Black's body, and relocated within another host - wrestler Kevin Bishop.

Former Finishers
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" - CD positions the opponent in a Pedigree, lifts them up so they are laying on CD's shoulder in a double underhook Canadian backbreaker. CD then swings the opponent down, lifts a leg and brings up the other, slamming the opponent face first between his legs as he sits out, arms trapped behind them. Pretty much a higher angled Angels Wings.
"Burning Hammer" - Super-finisher of Kenta Kobashi, a reverse Death Valley Driver with emphasis on the head-drop aspect.
