--> ''"I can tell from day one, you're good. You're real good. You miss some ruthless aggression. You miss the guidance of [[ThirdPersonPerson Prince Ameen]]. And if you laid down to begin with, you wouldn't had [[GroinAttack this problem to worry about]], but you will feel still the same, and the first thing I want is for you, as my servant, TO BOW DOWN AT MY KNEES!

[[folder:James R. Kennedy]]
Former manager of The Prestige, current heel commentator.
----
* DirtyCoward: During the IPW Invasion at ''Defiant #3'', he ran off from the stage, leaving Dave Bradshaw to fend for himself (and subsequently choked out).
** Inverted soon after though when he takes a chair shot to the face. Bradshaw still held contempt for Kennedy running off but give him the rub for being a professional and still showing up soon after to do his job.
* SunglassesAtNight: He's never seen without his sunglasses.

[[folder: Alex Gracie]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alexgracie.jpg]]
-> '''AKA:''' "The Legend"
-> '''Weight:''' 198 lbs (90 kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Nottingham, England, UK
-> '''Signature Move:''' "Fall from Gracie"[[note]]Flatliner[[/note]]

Dubbed ‘prospects’ by WCPW management, both Lucas Archer and Alex Gracie combine sneering attitude with watertight tag-team wrestling.

Under the guidance of James R. Kennedy, the team have lashed back at WCPW and the fans, using the name Prospect out of spite against everyone.

Kennedy’s influence, allied with the clear potential of Archer and Gracie makes for a dangerous package ready to explode.

Gracie appeared in ''WCPW Loaded #1'', where he and Gabriel Kidd lost a three-way elimination match against Joseph Conners.
----

** Drew Galloway defeated him in the Scottish Qualifying Round of the ''Pro Wrestling World Cup '17'', but then Galloway rejoined ''Wrestling/{{WWE}}'' (going to the ''[[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]]'' brand), leaving his spot in the top-16 empty. So he fought against Kenny Williams (loser of the other qualifier) for that empty spot... and he lost.

One half of the CCK tag team with Kid Lykos.

Debuted in ''Defiant #1'', saving Travis Banks from a beatdown at the hands of The Prestige + David Starr. His first match took place at ''Defiant #2'', in a tag-team match turned handicap where his teammate Kid Lykos was taken down by David Starr before the match even began.
----
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Appeared at ''Defiant #1'' to help Wrestling/TravisBanks alongside Kid Lykos.
* GenreBlind: In ''Defiant #2'' during CCK vs. The Prestige, Chris Brooks tried to put a salived finger on El Ligero's ear. Problem is: El Ligero uses a mask which covers his ears. It went as well as you can imagine.
* RefugeInVulgarity: One of his initial spots involves him putting saliva in his opponent's ear.
** Turned UpToEleven in the ''Defiant Internet Title'' four-way match at ''Defiant #10'', where Wrestling/TravisBanks (saliva on the other ear) and Mike Bailey (foot in mouth) joined him on his humilliation of David Starr.

[[folder:David Starr]]
-> '''AKA:''' "The Product", "King Of Taunts", "The Cream In Your Coffee", "Your Favorite Wrestler's Favorite Wrestler", "The Jewish Cannon", "The Physical Embodiment of Charisma", "The Most Entertaining Man in Pro Wrestling", "Mr. Americanrana", "Davey Wrestling", "The 104 Minute Man", "The Main Event".
-> '''Weight:''' 211 lbs (96 kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
-> '''Signature Move:''' Rolling Elbow, Product Placement[[note]]German Suplex[[/note]], JML Driver 104

At the age of 26 years, Starr made a name for himself across the world, earning titles in promotions such as ''Wrestling/{{CZW}}'', ''Wrestling/{{WSU}}'' and ''Wrestling/{{WXW}}''. He debuted in ''WCPW Exit Wounds'' being at the receiving end of a defeat at the hands of Wrestling/MartyScurll.
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Mike Bailey always give him a run for his money.
* ArchEnemy: Mike Bailey.
* BadassBeard: A [[Film/ThreeHundred Leonidas-like]] beard.
* CombatCommentator: In ''Defiant #2'' during The Prestige vs. Chris Brookes.
* IHaveManyNames: In a RedBaron way. Even the man himself sometimes dislikes this, to everyone's chagrin.
* {{Jobber}}: Has a 3w-10l record.
* TheNarcissist: Comes with being a Wrestling/ShawnMichaels {{expy}}.
* PayingTheirDues: Both Rampage and General Ameen make it clear that, despite his popularity, he has to earn the chance for the title since a) he didn't won the Magnificent Seven match (wasn't present at all), b) he didn't won the 30-man rumble match and c) he didn't won the Ringmaster Tournament (reached the finals but got eliminated by eventual winner Bad Bones). So he was promised to be considered for the #1 Contendership if he beat [[Wrestling/AdrianNeville PAC]] at ''Defiant Loaded #4''.
* PowerStable: Joined The Prestige after ''Defiant #1''. Officially inducted as a member as of ''Defiant #4'', where he's seen doing a fistbump with El Ligero.
* RealMenWearPink: Has a prominently pink speedo with dark tones as part of The Prestige.
* SoreLoser: He can't take a loss gracefully.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: After making it clear that he's targetting Rampage Brown's World Title, the two of them were booked in a TagTeam match against Nathan Cruz and Bad Bones for ''Defiant Loaded #1''. Needless to say, the cooperation was scarce.
* WildCard: In The Prestige, both him, Ligero and Hendry have taken no side on the IPW invasion, though his teammates threw away Travis Banks's match against Austin Aries at ''Defiant #5'' ''just by showing up'', triggering Banks's RevengeBeforeReason.

[[folder: Gabriel Kidd]]
-> '''AKA:''' "Kid Danger", "The Lifeboat Man", "The Young Bull"
-> '''Weight:''' 216 lbs (98 kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Nottingham, England, UK

One of the youngest wrestlers on the WCPW Roster, appearing in ''WCPW Loaded #1''; his first match being a three-way elimination match where he lost at the hands of Joseph Conners. Has an odd partnership with Prince Ameen.

He's 1x ''WCPW Internet Title'' champion.
----
* ButtMonkey: Is this to Prince Ameen. It all started with his defeat at his hands in ''WCPW Built To Destroy'' and went down (and up) from there.
** {{Sidekick}}: After Ameen's HeelFaceTurn, he's seen by him as more of an equal. Borders on HeterosexualLifePartners at times.
* FaceHeelTurn: Turned on Prince Ameen during the ''Magnificent Seven'' match at ''Defiant Lights Out'' and kept on attacking him during the ''Road to No Regrets''.
* {{Jobber}}: Kidd had built a solid streak of losses until he pulled an upset over Cody Rhodes and Joe Hendry at ''WCPW No Regrets'' to win the Internet title.
* KidHero: Billed as being as pure a wrestling {{Face}} as could exist, with his youth given particular emphasis. His 4-month Internet Title run, where he took down opponents such as Wrestling/ZackSabreJr, Joe Coffey, and Wrestling/TravisBanks cemented him as a force to be reckoned with.
* PowerStable:
** The Kirb Crawlers.
** He joined the Wrestling/BulletClub for one match.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Won't stop until making Pastor William Eaver answer for what he did to Prince Ameen.

[[folder:HT Drake]]
-> '''AKA:''' "The Gimmick Killer"
-> '''Weight:''' 205 lbs (93 Kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, United Kingdom
-> '''Signature Move:'''

The ‘gimmick killer’ is something of an unknown quantity in WCPW.

While undoubtedly talented in his own right, Drake does not come in with the same high reputation as some of the other members of the roster.

This is something that Drake is dead-set on changing. Fighting with the belief that he has what it takes to be one of the very best there is, Drake is determined to prove himself at the expense of others, taking whatever opportunity there is and running with it.

His breathtaking diving lungblower is certain to get heads turning (and opponents’ chests bursting).
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Attacked Mike Bailey's leg injury on both ''Defiant #4'' and ''Defiant #5'', to no avail.
* BadassBeard: A mix of [[Film/ThreeHundred Leonidas's]] and Primate's.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: When Prospect is banned at Stacked, they sneak in at the next few shows as a fake Luchador trio called Los Perspectiva.
* FinishingMove: Top-Rope Lungblower
* IHaveTheHighGround: His finisher is a top rope lungblower.
* {{Jobber}}: His matches tend to be [[SquashMatch short in length]]... and he's usually in the receiving end of the beatdown, either on his own or with Prospect.
* SixthRanger: Sort of, he signed on with Prospect after beating up Jay Lethar at ''WCPW Built to Destroy''.
* [[spoiler: SixthRangerTraitor: As of ''WCPW True Destiny'' and the next match on ''Loaded'', Drake has broken from Prospect.]]
* WildCard: By way of an EasterEgg at a segment involving Kay Lee Ray and Stu Bennett ''Defiant #10''.

-> '''AKA:''' "Suicidal"
-> '''Weight:''' 169 lbs (77 kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Dartford, Kent, England, UK
-> '''Signature Move:''' Acid Rainmaker (Lariat), Death Valley Driver, Missile Dropkick

Debuted in the WCPW ''Pro Wrestling World Cup '17'', where he disposed of Zack Gibson only to lose against Wrestling/ZackSabreJr in the English Qualifying Round. He's mostly involved in the Hardcore division, where he is paired with on and off friend The Primate.

He's 1x ''Defiant Tag Team Title'' champion, alongside Primate.
----
* BashBrothers: With Primate. They often fight as a duo or team as often as they fight themselves.
* TheMentor: One of his trainees is "Pastor" William Eaver.
* MythologyGag: During the IPW invasion, he mentions that he was 2x IPW champion.

[[folder: Joe Hendry]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joe_hendry.jpg]]
-> '''AKA:''' "The Global Hero", "The Local Hero", "The Prestigious One"
-> '''Weight:''' 229 lbs (104 kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
-> '''Signature Move:''' Stalled Suplex, Arm Trap DDT, Freak of Nature

Confidence is a major component of success. With the belief Joe Hendry has in his own abilities, he is set to take over the world.

The self-proclaimed ‘Global/Local Hero’s hyper-inflated ego isn’t without justification; Hendry is an accomplished amateur wrestler, a fearsome in-ring competitor, and a pitch-perfect singer to boot and he was already a major star in ICW before waltzing into the WhatCulture offices looking to spread his word even further.

Joe Hendry makes things better – he can wrestle, he can sing – and so infectious was his assuredness that resident jobber Jack immediately knew he was the man for him in his fight against Adam Blampied and BX.

Hendry debuted at ''WCPW Loaded #1'' and is 1x ''WCPW World Title'' champion and winner of the "Wrestling/KurtAngle Invitational Tournament", which granted him a match against the Olympic Gold Medallist himself.
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Wrestling/DrewGalloway. It took him until the ''Pro Wrestling World Cup '17 - Mexican Qualifying Round'' to get the ''WCPW World Title'', as he kept on losing the #1 contendership and title matches... the day after Galloway lost the title and got out of ''WCPW''.
* ArchEnemy:
** Travis Banks during the first half of 2018.
** Martin Kirby during the latter half of 2018. This feud eventually ended up with a FaceHeelDoubleTurn where he turned face.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Came to Primate's aid]] at the end of ''Defiant Loaded #3''.
* BitingTheHandHumor: He likes to take jabs at the Whatculture crew, mocking them as nothing but "list makers". He eventually ended up doing videos for the ''Whatculture MMA'' channel.
* BullyingADragon:
** His entrance music against Big Damo was probably intended as a mind game to get under the big man's skin. Well, [[GoneHorriblyRight it worked]], and Damo left the ring to go get Hendry from the backstage area and drag him out to fight.
** After the defeat of CCK (which has former Prestige member Travis Banks) he mocked Banks's defeat long enough to make the Kiwi Buzzsaw go to the commentator area and beat Hendry. Only Chris Brookes's restraint of Banks prevented something worse.
* CombatCommentator:
** Lended his commentary on ''WCPW Loaded #14''.
** Was on the sidelines during The Prestige[[note]]El Ligero & David Starr[[/note]] vs. CCK[[note]]Wrestling/TravisBanks & Chris Brookes[[/note]] commentating alongside Dave Bradshaw and James R. Kennedy at ''Defiant #7''.
* TheCastShowoff: Hendry's an excellent singer and incorporates this into his gimmick, singing his own theme music as he makes it to the ring, often riffing popular pop songs.
* CombatCommentator: At ''WCPW Loaded #14'' and the Ringmaster Tournament. The latter was the catalyst for both Hendry and Martin Kirby's FaceHeelDoubleTurn.
* EarWorm: His entrance theme will never leave your head.
* FaceHeelTurn: As of ''True Destiny'', he's part of The Prestige.
* FinishingMove: Freak of Nature, a fallaway slam.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He won the Kurt Angle Invitational Rumble by using both of Kurt Angle's finishers.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Hendry makes a point of not swearing.
** Averted when he used a large variety of swear words in Suzie's direction during a taping. When the episode aired, this was hilariously covered up by a voiceover from Hendry himself.
* HypocriticalHumor: His "List maker" quote becomes this, as he's occasionally featured in the gaming channel's top ten list videos.
* LargeHam: Very much so.
* PowerStable: The Prestige.
* TagTeam:
** Hendry & Conners, with Joseph Conners.
** The ''Defiant'' incarnation of The Prestige is basically him and El Ligero.
* TheTeetotaler: The Local Hero is pretty much UsefulNotes/{{straight edge}}.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Joe Hendry, the Local Hero, often refers to the Local Hero, Joe Hendry, in the third person.
* WildCard: In The Prestige, both him, Starr and Hendry have taken no side on the IPW invasion, though they threw away Travis Banks's match against Austin Aries at ''Defiant #5'' ''just by showing up'', triggering Banks's RevengeBeforeReason.

-> '''AKA:''' "The Ego Dragon", "Mr. Bad Attitude"
-> '''Weight:''' 180 lbs (82 kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Thirsk, North Yorkshire, England, UK
-> '''Signature Move:''' Wrestling/{{Sable}} Bomb, Zoidberg Elbow, Kirby's Dreamland[[note]]Fameasser[[/note]]

"Mr. Bad Attitude," former WCPW general manager, and former WCPW champion.

Debuted at ''WCPW Loaded #1'' in a match against El Ligero, and is 1x ''Defiant World Title'' champion.
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Couldn't beat Damian Dunne at any match.
* ArchEnemy:
** El Ligero, during the first months.
** Adam Pacitti; their feud ended with Pacitti losing his job as General Manager at Kirby's hands.
** "No Fun" Damian Dunne during the first half of 2018.
** Joe Hendry during the latter part of 2018. The accumulated frustration for his preferential treatment by the Defiant higher-ups motivated Kirby's FaceHeelTurn.
* ButtMonkey: Is constantly on the receiving end of insults from Adam Pacitti.
** Although he dishes one out to him too, nicknaming Adam Pacitti "Adam Parmesan."
* BrokenWinLossStreak: When [[spoiler:he lost his title match against Joseph Conners due to interference from Adam Pacitti.]]
* CatchphraseInsult:
--> ''"DICKHEAD!"''
* DavidVersusGoliath: He's not the most voluptuous character in the roster, but was able to hold his own against guys such as [[spoiler:Mark Haskins]].
* DeathOrGloryAttack: The Zoidberg Elbow is an elbow drop with 90% of theatrics. As such, [[AwesomeButImpractical it takes A LOT of time to set up, it's easily counterable, and rarely, if ever, connects]]. The few occasions it connects, however, it invariably leads to two things: [[CheapPop the HUGEST of pops]], and a win. Case in point: [[spoiler:the 30-man rumble at ''WCPW No Regrets''. Poor Hendry]].
* [[JustForPun Defiant]] [[DefiantToTheEnd to the End]]: You can tell Kirby wasn't exactly a match for [[spoiler:Mark Haskins]], but that didn't stopped him from doing his best in order to ensure that [[spoiler:IPW doesn't control Defiant. Too bad it didn't work as expected]].
* DemotedToExtra: Was mostly on the sidelines during the IPW invasion, sans for one key episode: [[spoiler:his loss against Mark Haskins, which ended up with IPW taking control of Defiant]].
* FaceHeelTurn: After winning his "I Quit" match against Joe Hendry, he kept attacking him, unleashing a lot of frustration, while the crowd booed him to no end, while also [[FaceHeelDoubleTurn turning Hendry face]].
* FinishingMove: [[Wrestling/{{Sable}} The Sable Bomb]] and the Zoidberg Elbow.
* GameBreakingInjury: He suffered a concussion at the hands of Joe Hendry during their title match at the World Cup of Wrestling Mexican qualifier and lost the title to him via ref stoppage.
* GreenEyedMonster: '''HATED''' Joe Hendry, or rather the preferential treatment from the Defiant higher-ups towards Hendry. This was the setup for Kirby's FaceHeelTurn.
* HeelFaceTurn: Happened after [[spoiler: he beat Will Osprey and went on a mini-winning streak]]. Also caused [[spoiler: Adam Pacitti to turn heel later, creating a double turn]].
* HumiliatingWager: Kirby fought El Ligero at ''Built to Destroy'' in a Mask vs. Pride match. If Ligero lost, he lost his mask; if Kirby lost, he'd have to wear a dress. Kirby lost.
* {{Jerkass}}:
** When he was a heel. They don't call him "Mr. Bad Attitude" for nothing.
** Still retains some of this as a face, although it's played for laughs rather than a way of getting him heat.
* MythologyGag: Several to his partnership with El Ligero in other promotions as the "Project Lucha" tag-team:
** Early on he used a speedo which had "Project Lucha" in the rear.
** In ''WCPW [=KirbyMania=]'', as the GM, he pairs himself in a tag-team match with ArchEnemy El Ligero.
* RageBreakingPoint: During the Ringmaster Tournament, after being eliminated by the eventual winner Bad Bones, Hendry taunted him from the announcer's desk, and Kirby got so fed up with him that he was about to unleash his wrath upon him. The second day of the Tournament, while Hendry was received with thunderous "Joe Hendry is a wanker" chants, Kirby's music hit and they got into an extremely heated argument where he proceeded to bury both Hendry and the promotion for the preferential treatment towards Joe.
* RealMenWearPink: Pink is a prominent color on Kirby's clothing, even as a GM, where his suit is white and pink.
* SignatureMove: The [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Zoidberg]] Elbow.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** A rare heel case where [[spoiler: his victory against Will Ospreay]] made him more credible, if still goofy, threat.
** After jobbing to most of the cast during most of the ''Defiant'' run, he finally gets to earn a proper title shot by winning the ''Defiant No Regrets'' [[MultiMookMelee 30-man rumble]].
* TheWorfEffect: After a successful run on WCPW which included plenty of titles, the switch to Defiant has him being screwed in both ''Defiant #1'' (being the one gang-attacked by him, Chris Ridgeway and Mark Haskins) and ''Defiant #2'' (being thrown away by Aries). This reached its peak at ''Defiant #6'' where he put a good fight against [[spoiler:Mark Haskins]], yet he wasn't able to defeat him and [[spoiler:prevent the IPW takeover of Defiant]]. Finally put to rest at ''Defiant Chain Reaction'' where he [[spoiler:makes '''Austin Aries''' to tap]].
* YankTheDogsChain: He cannot catch a break:
** He's about finishing his humilliation of [[spoiler:a fake version of]] archrival El Ligero at ''WCPW Loaded #3''... when [[spoiler:the real deal]] appears and pins him.
** He [[Awesome/DefiantWrestling FINALLY]] gets the World Title at ''WCPW No Regrets''... only to lose it the ''Loaded'' episode after ''No Regrets''.
** The ''Defiant'' episode after ''[=#WeAreDefiant=]'' he's scheduled for a world title shot against Wrestling/MartyScurll... only for Wrestling/AustinAries attacking him and taking his place at the shot.
** At ''Defiant #6'' he was scheduled to fight Mark Haskins. [[AllOrNothing If he wins, he gets a title shot, if he loses, IPW takes control of Defiant]]. [[spoiler:He put up a very good fight, but ultimately lost against Haskins, and IPW took control of Defiant until ''Defiant Chain Reaction''; during said control he was denied all title shots]].
** After the above event, Kirby was one of the chosen five of Stu for the [[AllOrNothing "Winner Takes All"]] 5-on-5 match at ''Defiant Chain Reaction''. His team managed to win and he even got to eliminate Wrestling/AustinAries by using [[FinishingMove Aries's own Last Chancery]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard against him]]. Because of this, and once Stu regained control of ''Defiant'', one of the first things he did was to give Martin Kirby a title shot... which he promprtly lost.

noun

# Violent or excited behaviour that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive.
# A state of violent anger or agitation.

Yup, that just about sums it up. Or, as Adam Blampied put it, his charge "fights like a volcano erupting at night" and "kicks like a really big horse". He will tuck you into bed, he says. Your f*cking death bed, that is.

Rampage will punch you in the face, chop you until you bleed, and then drop you directly onto your head with a pildedriver, if and when Blampied tells him to. He is a terrifying, ultra-intense competitor and will pose a threat to any and all on the WCPW roster.

Whether or not he really ate an actual bear cannot be independently confirmed at this time (but he probably did).

** He also trained Little Miss Roxxy.
* NobleTopEnforcer / PragmaticVillainy: After the piledriver was banned, Adam would repeatedly order Rampage to piledrive people only for him to refuse to do it, though it was somewhat unclear if this was because of a desire not to permanently injure his opponents or out of fear of being fired. [[spoiler: After refusing to do the piledriver one too many times Blampied rejected him, causing Rampage to [[HeelFaceTurn turn face]]]].
* PsychoForHire: To Adam Blampied.
* ShroudedInMyth: Adam Blampied's listed a number of impressive feats for him; noting that it cannot be independently confirmed that he ate an actual bear, but that he probably did.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Was booked onto a TagTeam match with David Starr against Nathan Cruz and Bad Bones for ''Defiant Loaded #1''. With the man of many names making it clear that he's going for Rampage's World Title, needless to say, the cooperation was scarce.

Originally from Los Sanchos, Mexico, El Ligero makes his home in the United Kingdom and has, over the last decade or so, established himself as one of the best, hardest-working wrestlers in the country (which might be something of an understatement).

He debuted in ''WCPW Loaded #1'', defeating Martin Kirby. He's 1x ''WCPW Internet Title'' champion and first holder of the title, winning it at ''WCPW Refuse To Lose'' against [[Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio Alberto El Patrón]] and Wrestling/TravisBanks, and holding it until ''WCPW Delete WCPW'', where he was defeated by [[Wrestling/{{TNA}} GFW NEXGEN Title]] champion Wrestling/CodyRhodes. He also won a plethora of other titles in promotions such as ''3CW'' and ''Progress''.

The veteran is quick on his feet and even quicker to take to the skies, his [=C4L=] Springboard Tornado DDT finisher one of the most lethal on the WCPW roster. When the masked man is in the ring, you don’t want to take your eyes off the action for a second.

It was accompanied by his involvement in a championship chase which gave the changes authenticity as that of an ambitious competitor.

** Drew Galloway defeated him in the Scottish Qualifying Round of the ''Pro Wrestling World Cup '17'', but then Galloway rejoined ''Wrestling/{{WWE}}'' (going to the ''[[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]]'' brand), leaving his spot in the top-16 empty.

* RefugeInVulgarity: One of his initial spots involves him putting saliva in his opponent's ear.
** Turned UpToEleven in the ''Defiant Internet Title'' four-way match at ''Defiant #10'', where Wrestling/TravisBanks (saliva on the other ear) and Mike Bailey (foot in mouth) joined him on his humilliation of David Starr.

[[folder:Drake]]
-> '''AKA:''' "The Gimmick Killer"
-> '''Weight:''' 205 lbs (93 Kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, United Kingdom

The ‘gimmick killer’ is something of an unknown quantity in WCPW.

While undoubtedly talented in his own right, Drake does not come in with the same high reputation as some of the other members of the roster.

This is something that Drake is dead-set on changing. Fighting with the belief that he has what it takes to be one of the very best there is, Drake is determined to prove himself at the expense of others, taking whatever opportunity there is and running with it.

His breathtaking diving lungblower is certain to get heads turning (and opponents’ chests bursting).

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Attacked Mike Bailey's leg injury on both ''Defiant #4'' and ''Defiant #5'', to no avail.
* BadassBeard: A mix of [[Film/ThreeHundred Leonidas's]] and Primate's.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: When Prospect is banned at Stacked, they sneak in at the next few shows as a fake Luchador trio called Los Perspectiva.
* FinishingMove: Top-Rope Lungblower
* IHaveTheHighGround: His finisher is a top rope lungblower.
* {{Jobber}}: His matches tend to be [[SquashMatch short in length]]... and he's usually in the receiving end of the beatdown, either on his own or with Prospect.
* SixthRanger: Sort of, he signed on with Prospect after beating up Jay Lethar at ''WCPW Built to Destroy''.
* [[spoiler: SixthRangerTraitor: As of ''WCPW True Destiny'' and the next match on ''Loaded'', Drake has broken from Prospect.]]
* WildCard: By way of an EasterEgg at a segment involving Kay Lee Ray and Stu Bennett ''Defiant #10''.

[[folder: Gabriel Kidd]]
-> '''AKA:''' "Kid Danger"
-> '''Weight:''' 216 lbs (98 kg)
-> '''Hometown:''' Nottingham, England, UK

One of the youngest wrestlers on the WCPW Roster, appearing in ''WCPW Loaded #1''; his first match being a three-way elimination match where he lost at the hands of Joseph Conners. Has an odd partnership with Prince Ameen.

He's 1x ''WCPW Internet Title'' champion.

* ButtMonkey: Is this to Prince Ameen. It all started with his defeat at his hands in ''WCPW Built To Destroy'' and went down (and up) from there.
** {{Sidekick}}: After Ameen's HeelFaceTurn, he's seen by him as more of an equal. Borders on HeterosexualLifePartners at times.
* {{Jobber}}: Kidd had built a solid streak of losses until he pulled an upset over Cody Rhodes and Joe Hendry at ''WCPW No Regrets'' to win the Internet title.
* KidHero: Billed as being as pure a wrestling {{Face}} as could exist, with his youth given particular emphasis. His 4-month Internet Title run, where he took down opponents such as Wrestling/ZackSabreJr, Joe Coffey, and Wrestling/TravisBanks cemented him as a force to be reckoned with.
* PowerStable:
** The Kirb Crawlers.
** He joined the Wrestling/BulletClub for one match.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Won't stop until making Pastor William Eaver answer for what he did to Prince Ameen.
* TagTeam: He's usually fighting alongside Prince Ameen.

Confidence is a major component of success. With the belief Joe Hendry has in his own abilities, he is set to take over the world.

The self-proclaimed ‘Global/Local Hero’s hyper-inflated ego isn’t without justification; Hendry is an accomplished amateur wrestler, a fearsome in-ring competitor, and a pitch-perfect singer to boot and he was already a major star in ICW before waltzing into the WhatCulture offices looking to spread his word even further.

Joe Hendry makes things better – he can wrestle, he can sing – and so infectious was his assuredness that resident jobber Jack immediately knew he was the man for him in his fight against Adam Blampied and BX.

Hendry debuted at ''WCPW Loaded #1'' and is 1x ''WCPW World Title'' champion and winner of the "Wrestling/KurtAngle Invitational Tournament", which granted him a match against the Olympic Gold Medallist himself.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Wrestling/DrewGalloway. It took him until the ''Pro Wrestling World Cup '17 - Mexican Qualifying Round'' to get the ''WCPW World Title'', as he kept on losing the #1 contendership and title matches... the day after Galloway lost the title and got out of ''WCPW''.
* BitingTheHandHumor: He likes to take jabs at the Whatculture crew, mocking them as nothing but "list makers". He eventually ended up doing videos for the ''Whatculture MMA'' channel.
* BullyingADragon:
** His entrance music against Big Damo was probably intended as a mind game to get under the big man's skin. Well, [[GoneHorriblyRight it worked]], and Damo left the ring to go get Hendry from the backstage area and drag him out to fight.
** After the defeat of CCK (which has former Prestige member Travis Banks) he mocked Banks's defeat long enough to make the Kiwi Buzzsaw go to the commentator area and beat Hendry. Only Chris Brookes's restraint of Banks prevented something worse.
* CombatCommentator:
** Lended his commentary on ''WCPW Loaded #14''.
** Was on the sidelines during The Prestige[[note]]El Ligero & David Starr[[/note]] vs. CCK[[note]]Wrestling/TravisBanks & Chris Brookes[[/note]] commentating alongside Dave Bradshaw and James R. Kennedy at ''Defiant #7''.
* TheCastShowoff: Hendry's an excellent singer and incorporates this into his gimmick, singing his own theme music as he makes it to the ring, often riffing popular pop songs.
* CombatCommentator: At ''WCPW Loaded #14''
* EarWorm: His entrance theme will never leave your head.
* FaceHeelTurn: As of ''True Destiny'', he's part of The Prestige.
* FinishingMove: Freak of Nature, a fallaway slam.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He won the Kurt Angle Invitational Rumble by using both of Kurt Angle's finishers.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Hendry makes a point of not swearing.
** Averted when he used a large variety of swear words in Suzie's direction during a taping. When the episode aired, this was hilariously covered up by a voiceover from Hendry himself.
* HypocriticalHumor: His "List maker" quote becomes this, as he's occasionally featured in the gaming channel's top ten list videos.
* LargeHam: Very much so.
* PowerStable: The Prestige.
* TagTeam:
** Hendry & Conners, with Joseph Conners.
** The ''Defiant'' incarnation of The Prestige is basically him and El Ligero.
* TheTeetotaler: The Local Hero is pretty much UsefulNotes/{{straight edge}}.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Joe Hendry, the Local Hero, often refers to the Local Hero, Joe Hendry, in the third person.
* WildCard: In The Prestige, both him, Starr and Hendry have taken no side on the IPW invasion, though they threw away Travis Banks's match against Austin Aries at ''Defiant #5'' ''just by showing up'', triggering Banks's RevengeBeforeReason.

-> '''Signature Move:''' Wrestling/{{Sable}} Bomb, Zoidberg Elbow, Kirby's Dreamland[[note]]Fameasser[[/note]]

"Mr. Bad Attitude," former WCPW general manager, and former WCPW champion.

Debuted at ''WCPW Loaded #1'' in a match against El Ligero, and is 1x ''Defiant World Title'' champion.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Couldn't beat Damian Dunne at any match.
* ArchEnemy: El Ligero, Adam Pacitti, "No Fun" Damian Dunne.
* ButtMonkey: Is constantly on the receiving end of insults from Adam Pacitti.
** Although he dishes one out to him too, nicknaming Adam Pacitti "Adam Parmesan."
* BrokenWinLossStreak: When [[spoiler:he lost his title match against Joseph Conners due to interference from Adam Pacitti.]]
* CatchphraseInsult:
--> ''"DICKHEAD!"''
* DavidVersusGoliath: He's not the most voluptuous character in the roster, but was able to hold his own against guys such as [[spoiler:Mark Haskins]].
* DeathOrGloryAttack: The Zoidberg Elbow is an elbow drop with 90% of theatrics. As such, [[AwesomeButImpractical it takes A LOT of time to set up, it's easily counterable, and rarely, if ever, connects]]. The few occasions it connects, however, it invariably leads to two things: [[CheapPop the HUGEST of pops]], and a win. Case in point: [[spoiler:the 30-man rumble at ''WCPW No Regrets''. Poor Hendry]].
* [[JustForPun Defiant]] [[DefiantToTheEnd to the End]]: You can tell Kirby wasn't exactly a match for [[spoiler:Mark Haskins]], but that didn't stopped him from doing his best in order to ensure that [[spoiler:IPW doesn't control Defiant. Too bad it didn't work as expected]].
* DemotedToExtra: Was mostly on the sidelines during the IPW invasion, sans for one key episode: [[spoiler:his loss against Mark Haskins, which ended up with IPW taking control of Defiant]].
* FinishingMove: [[Wrestling/{{Sable}} The Sable Bomb]].
* GameBreakingInjury: He suffered a concussion at the hands of Joe Hendry during their title match at the World Cup of Wrestling Mexican qualifier and lost the title to him via ref stoppage.
* HeelFaceTurn: Happened after [[spoiler: he beat Will Osprey and went on a mini-winning streak]]. Also caused [[spoiler: Adam Pacitti to turn heel later, creating a double turn]].
* HumiliatingWager: Kirby fought El Ligero at ''Built to Destroy'' in a Mask vs. Pride match. If Ligero lost, he lost his mask; if Kirby lost, he'd have to wear a dress. Kirby lost.
* {{Jerkass}}:
** When he was a heel. They don't call him "Mr. Bad Attitude" for nothing.
** Still retains some of this as a face, although it's played for laughs rather than a way of getting him heat.
* MythologyGag: Several to his partnership with El Ligero in other promotions as the "Project Lucha" tag-team:
** Early on he used a speedo which had "Project Lucha" in the rear.
** In ''WCPW [=KirbyMania=]'', as the GM, he pairs himself in a tag-team match with ArchEnemy El Ligero.
* RealMenWearPink: Pink is a prominent color on Kirby's clothing, even as a GM, where his suit is white and pink.
* SignatureMove: The [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Zoidberg]] Elbow.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** A rare heel case where [[spoiler: his victory against Will Ospreay]] made him more credible, if still goofy, threat.
** After jobbing to most of the cast during most of the ''Defiant'' run, he finally gets to earn a proper title shot by winning the ''Defiant No Regrets'' [[MultiMookMelee 30-man rumble]].
* TheWorfEffect: After a successful run on WCPW which included plenty of titles, the switch to Defiant has him being screwed in both ''Defiant #1'' (being the one gang-attacked by him, Chris Ridgeway and Mark Haskins) and ''Defiant #2'' (being thrown away by Aries). This reached its peak at ''Defiant #6'' where he put a good fight against [[spoiler:Mark Haskins]], yet he wasn't able to defeat him and [[spoiler:prevent the IPW takeover of Defiant]]. Finally put to rest at ''Defiant Chain Reaction'' where he [[spoiler:makes '''Austin Aries''' to tap]].
* YankTheDogsChain: He cannot catch a break:
** He's about finishing his humilliation of [[spoiler:a fake version of]] archrival El Ligero at ''WCPW Loaded #3''... when [[spoiler:the real deal]] appears and pins him.
** He [[Awesome/DefiantWrestling FINALLY]] gets the World Title at ''WCPW No Regrets''... only to lose it the ''Loaded'' episode after ''No Regrets''.
** The ''Defiant'' episode after ''[=#WeAreDefiant=]'' he's scheduled for a world title shot against Wrestling/MartyScurll... only for Wrestling/AustinAries attacking him and taking his place at the shot.
** At ''Defiant #6'' he was scheduled to fight Mark Haskins. [[AllOrNothing If he wins, he gets a title shot, if he loses, IPW takes control of Defiant]]. [[spoiler:He put up a very good fight, but ultimately lost against Haskins, and IPW took control of Defiant until ''Defiant Chain Reaction''; during said control he was denied all title shots]].
** After the above event, Kirby was one of the chosen five of Stu for the [[AllOrNothing "Winner Takes All"]] 5-on-5 match at ''Defiant Chain Reaction''. His team managed to win and he even got to eliminate Wrestling/AustinAries by using [[FinishingMove Aries's own Last Chancery]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard against him]]. Because of this, and once Stu regained control of ''Defiant'', one of the first things he did was to give Martin Kirby a title shot... which he promprtly lost.

noun

# Violent or excited behaviour that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive.
# A state of violent anger or agitation.

Yup, that just about sums it up. Or, as Adam Blampied put it, his charge "fights like a volcano erupting at night" and "kicks like a really big horse". He will tuck you into bed, he says. Your f*cking death bed, that is.

Rampage will punch you in the face, chop you until you bleed, and then drop you directly onto your head with a pildedriver, if and when Blampied tells him to. He is a terrifying, ultra-intense competitor and will pose a threat to any and all on the WCPW roster.

-> '''Signature Move:''' Air Carumba[[note]]Somersault Plancha[[/note]], Diving Seated Senton, El Booto Dos[[note]]Running Low-Angle Dropkick to an opponent trapped in the Tree of Woe[[/note]], Handspring Enzuigiri, Superkick , High-Angle Senton Bomb, Sunset Flip Powerbomb, Victory Roll flipped forward into a modified wheelbarrow facebuster as a Wheelbarrow Bodyscissors Counter.

Originally from Los Sanchos, Mexico, El Ligero makes his home in the United Kingdom and has, over the last decade or so, established himself as one of the best, hardest-working wrestlers in the country (which might be something of an understatement).

He debuted in ''WCPW Loaded #1'', defeating Martin Kirby. He's 1x ''WCPW Internet Title'' champion and first holder of the title, winning it at ''WCPW Refuse To Lose'' against [[Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio Alberto El Patrón]] and Wrestling/TravisBanks, and holding it until ''WCPW Delete WCPW'', where he was defeated by [[Wrestling/{{TNA}} GFW NEXGEN Title]] champion Wrestling/CodyRhodes. He also won a plethora of other titles in promotions such as ''3CW'' and ''Progress''.

The veteran is quick on his feet and even quicker to take to the skies, his [=C4L=] Springboard Tornado DDT finisher one of the most lethal on the WCPW roster. When the masked man is in the ring, you don’t want to take your eyes off the action for a second.

* ArchEnemy: Martin Kirby, Travis Banks.
* AnimalMotifs: A bull.
* CatchPhrase: Arriba!
* CharacterDevelopment: His heel turn was built up over many months, including temptations to use weapons in a match, a slow darkening of his attire to black, more cocky mannerisms, and a change in his wrestling style towards more heelish moves and tactics. It was accompanied by his involvement in a championship chase which gave the changes authenticity as that of an ambitious competitor.
* DirtyCoward: He displays aspects of this after his heel turn, including staying out of the fight as much as possible during the Magnificent Seven ladder match at the August 17, 2017 Loaded event.
* FaceHeelTurn: He took out Martin Kirby during the Last Man Standing match at ''Fight Back'' to claim Joe Hendry's bounty and joined The Prestige.

* MaskedLuchador
* TheMentor: Liam Slater and Little Miss Roxxy are among his trainees.
* MythologyGag: In ''WCPW [=KirbyMania=]'', he's paired in a tag-team match with ArchEnemy Martin Kirby. In many other promotions they are part of a tag-team called "Project Lucha".
* PartsUnknown: Billed from "Los Sanchos, Mexico", even though such city doesn't exist in real life.
* PowerStable: The Prestige, during the ''WCPW'' era.
* PutOnABus: Signed with ''Wrestling/{{WWE}}'', became a competitor in the UK Tournament.
* ShoutOut: During the ''Wrestling/RingOfHonor'' exhibition with Wrestling/JayLethal and Wrestling/AdamCole, he displayed Pac-Man themed pants.
* TagTeam: The ''Defiant'' incarnation of The Prestige is basically him teaming up with Joe Hendry.
* UrExample: First WCPW Internet Champion.
* WildCard: In The Prestige, both him, Starr and Hendry have taken no side on the IPW invasion, though they threw away Travis Banks's match against Austin Aries at ''Defiant #5'' ''just by showing up'', triggering Banks's RevengeBeforeReason.
* WorthyOpponent: Jay Lethal considers him one.
