Character Name:
Tommy Glass
Nickname:
The Little Engine that Couldn't, The Hopeless Hero, the Witless Wonder
Hometown:
Little Rock, Arkansas
Height:
5'7
Weight:
140 pounds
Alignment:
Sympathetic Babyface/Full-time Jobber
In-Ring Style:
Pathetic/Ragdoll
Bio:
Have you ever felt like you've been dealt a bad hand in life? Well that's Tommy Glass in a nutshell. Too small, too slow, and too stupid to know when to get out, he's been wrestling on the independent circuit for several years now, picking up about as many victories as he has six-packs.
None.
None victories.
Though he has been able to hold his own modestly well in cruiserweight matches, the "Paperweight from Arksansas State" has had the worst possible luck in matches against his bigger, stronger opponents. Which is all of them. Clumsy, slow, and weak as a day-old kitten, poor Tommy Glass has just wandered from match to match before securing a chance to be on UCI after slipping on a banana peel and getting a cheer when he fell into a dumpster. The UCI big wigs were impressed with his ability to take that kind of punishment, and decided to put him on TV.
Now with a contract in hand, he's ready to take his game to a level never before seen. UCI represents a second chance for "The Man of a Thousand Losses", and he may just find victory yet!
I wouldn't count on it though.
Attire:
Black and red generic trunks, fairly poor fitting.
Theme song:
"If you're Gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough."
Pic Base:
Colin Delaney
Entrance:
The sound of a twanging guitar informs the audience that a new man has walked through the curtains, the opening lyrics call out "If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough." and the audience realizes who it must be.
The audience begins with a small pattering of cheers and a far larger amount of laughter as a pathetic specimen steps onto the apron, waving with a weak smile to the audience as he looks on in what could only be described as terror. He waves sheepishly and stands with his hands at his sides. After a few moments a stagehand leans out and points to the ring, and Tommy jumps, realizing he's supposed to actually go to the ring. He rushes forward enthusiastically, only to trip and fall. He stands up and looks nervously at the crowd, who grins sympathetically as he rolls under the ropes. As he stands with a smile on his face, he turns and waves to the camera.
Favorite moves:
Knife Edge Chop
Headlock
Chin Lock
Running Crossbody
Scoop Slam
Signature move(s):
Coconut Crusher. Tommy whips his opponent off the corner, then allows the opponent to run into him headfirst. The opponent usually falls down and Tommy stays standing, having a spectacularly hard head and pain tolerance despite his small size.
Finisher(s):
If Tommy ever gets the chance to hit his finisher on an opponent, it tends to be rather rare. But it's a sunset flip into a roll-up known as the "Lucky Break" that catches opponents off guard rather than actually hurting them that badly.
