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).



* ArchEnemy: Hates anyone who portrays a gimmick. Some wrestlers got it worse, though:
** Simon Miller, due to him being a youtuber who became a wrestler.
* 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.
* {{Irony}}: The gimmick killer ended up in a PowerStable... with a gimmick. Said stable is all about ending the fun... and said fun includes gimmicks. [[MindScrew Yeah.]]
* {{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.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Has developed an irrational hatred towards gimmicks, hence why his RedBaron "Gimmick Killer".
* NotSoDifferent: On the grounds that "Gimmicks are fun, and we hate fun", he was convinced by both Dunne and Los Federales Super Santos Sr. to become a member of the Anti-Fun Police, something he was VERY weary to join due to his hatred of gimmicks.
* SensibleGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to both Dunne and especially Los Federales Super Santos Jr.'s sensible guys.
* 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.]]

** 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Debuting at a three-way match at ''Defiant Lights Out'' for Wrestling/TravisBanks's Internet Title, he's one of the most feared wrestlers of the roster. He's 1x Defiant Internet Champion.


Added DiffLines:

* ArchEnemy: David Starr.

** His duels against David Starr reference the fact that Starr was NEVER able to beat him at wXw.
** His Titantron references his PowerStable in wXw, Ringkampf.
* CripplingOverspecialization: A criticism of his fighting style is that he relies a lot on those painful chops. He gets a pass because those chops really hurt.

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.

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).

-> '''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''.

* 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''.

* 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.

"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).
