Gimmick Description: A true hybrid wrestler, Baker's unique blend of high-flying, submission and striking has lead to his status as a pioneer in the field of professional wrestling. The Aviator title comes from his high-flying skill, as well as his high-rising personality that lead to his meteoric rise through the industry of professional wrestling.
Brief Biography (optional): An eight year veteran of Professional Wrestling, Baker was born in England and trained at the PROGRESS dojo before setting out on his own, entering the American independent scene through venues like PWG, CZW, GCW, and other well known independent companies in an effort to make his name known. He was later signed by Freedom Pro Wrestling, where he won the inaugural Free-1 tournament, and, later, the Freedom Pro Wrestling Championship, using that as a gateway to get signed by companies like ALPHA Wrestling, IBW, and Nike Pro Combat. Baker has held three world championships, one tag team championship, and various other belts, and he looks to continue building his legacy in WrestleWorld.
Motivations: To continue building his legacy, to show off his hybrid style, and to win any championship that he contends for in WrestleWorld.
Wrestling Information.
Entrance Theme: 'Satellite' by Rise Against.
Entrance Description (optional): As the opening guitar plays, Baker enters and crouches until the instrumental picks up and the chorus begins, beating his hands against the entrance ramp before exploding outward. He slaps hands with the fans as he approaches the ring, climbing up on the apron and springboarding into the ring, often giving two finger guns to his opponent or, in some cases, pointing one at the championship he's contending for.
Wrestling Style: A true hybrid wrestler, Baker blends speed, technical submission wrestling, high-flying and striking. Much like Daniel Bryan, Baker's got an excellent mind for technical grounded wrestling, often grounding his opponents for devestating high-flying maneuvers to put them down for the count. His submission techniques are lethal, and have scored him many a win.
Favorite Match Type(s): Hybrid Rules - KO/Submission only.
Favorite Weapon(s): Steel chairs, or the apron itself.
