Ring Attire: His attire scheme is similar to Jerry “The King” Lawler’s, in the sense that he has a one-strap singlet overtop of a pair of tights. The singlet is black while the tights are metallic gold. His boots are black and he wears knee pads underneath the tights. His right hand (and wrist) and left wrist are wrapped in white Hockey tape. He used to wear a grey shirt to cover up his imperfections, but since getting his body into a buffer shape, he doesn’t need that anymore.

Moveset:
-Punch (Is always told to open the fist)
-Kick
-Armbar
-Legbar (Clutches opponents’ leg and attempts to bend it in a way where the bone pops)
-Waistlock
-Full Nelson
-Eye Poke
-Eye Rake
-Back Rake
-Hair Pull (Will sometimes also punch his opponent while pulling their hair, given they’re facing the right way and are in the right position)
-Headlock
-Chinlock
-Hammerlock
-Bear Hug Clutch (Doesn’t actually do the Bear Hug as he never lifts his opponent off the ground in an attempt to make them pass out, but instead it’s more in an attempt to take them to the ground. He may sometimes lift them over his head, but it’s usually an attempt to slam them down onto the mat hard)
-Any kind of chop (though his chop of choice is a standard chop with the opponent propped up in the corner)
-After the chop, he’ll usually follow through and land a back elbow for his opponent’s troubles
-Stiff Daniel Bryan-esque kicks to the chest of an opponent who’s down on their knees
-Knee Strike to the head or chest
-Flatliner w/DDT Head Cradle (adapted from his best friend Eddie Evans)
-Greco Roman Knuckle Lock

OTHER TACTICS HE UTILIZES:

-Will often hold opponents back with his hand on their foreheads, all the while turning his attention to other things around him and treating his opponent as both non-threatening and not worth his time and energy. For example, he may...

1. Talk to the ref

2. Take the time to talk up the FWA or any other fed he’s currently part of

All of these are done in an attempt to make the opponent feel small. This tactic is only done when Graham is facing a smaller/shorter opponent. When he’s had enough and is getting bored, he’ll draw back and smack ‘em right in the face.

-Will lay down on the mat, offering a “Free Pinfall”. Only Comedy/Jobber characters actually fall for it, though, and every time, Graham locks them in some kind of hold, whether it be his family’s arm bar or something else. Also, if anyone tries a diving attack while Graham is laying on the mat, Graham will move out of the way and take advantage right after they come crashing down.

-Will sometimes walk right up to the opponent and hug them. This leaves the opponent both frustrated and too confused to act.

-Will sometimes cut a promo mid-match, though this is a very rare occurrence.

-He treats his opponents as “non-threatening” no matter the size. Often, he’ll slap his opponent in the face or insult their style (This really only applies high flyers and comedy wrestlers, with him calling them “Spotmonkeys who shit on the business” or telling them “Funny don’t draw money, asshole!”)

-He’ll sometimes spit in their eye to start the match off as it gives him an advantage and leaves them open to attacks.

Signature Moves:

-Graham Family Armbreaker (A move that was once banned all across Canada - Essentially, it is a Fujiwara Armbar where Graham brings the arm back in a Hammerlock position and wrenches it in, bringing his own arm between the opponent’s arm and back, bringing it back up and attempting to break the shoulder)

-End Of The Line (Million Dollar Dream -- A move that was practiced by his grandfather, taught to his father and uncles and passed down to the third generation of Grahams and other students of the Graham Academy as a means of keeping the legacy alive and well)

Finisher(s):
-Graham Crakker (Low Blow)
-Skull Crakker (Leaping Piledriver)

Surprise:
-TF2 Pyro (Styles Clash/Tombstone Piledriver Hybrid)

Entrance Music: “Majesty” by Ghost

Entrance Description:
“Majesty” hits and after the short intro, out from the curtain comes Solomon Graham, to a chorus of boos raining down on him from the capacity crowd. We see that Solomon has a roll of white hockey tape in his left hand. He puts his hands on his hips before sighing and shaking his head at the booing. He then proceeds to take a strip of tape from the roll and wrap his right wrist up in tape.

[RING ANNOUNCER’S NAME HERE] - And his opponent, from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, he is the “Prince Of Prince Edward Island”, SOLOMON GRAHAM!!!!

After wrapping it in about five layers of tape, he then turns it diagonally and proceeds to also wrap his knuckles in tape as well, all the while slowly and methodically walking towards the ring. He then bites the tape in two, wrapping the strip still connected to the roll back on and wrapping the strip attached to him around the knuckle, before driving his right hand directly into his open left hand and walking to the ring, on the way stopping to taunt the fans and give them shit. He climbs the ring apron and wipes his feet on the apron. He then steps into the ring, gets into his corner and waits for his opponent.


Championship Entrance Description:
“Majesty” hits and after the short intro, out from the curtain comes Solomon Graham, to a chorus of boos raining down on him from the capacity crowd. He has the [INSERT NAME OF CHAMPIONSHIP HERE] around his waist. He stops on the stage, raising his hands in the air, before swinging his hips a little bit, stopping only to flip the fans off. When he does, he walks to the ring, arms still high in the air and middle fingers still sticking up.

[RING ANNOUNCER’S NAME HERE] - And his opponent, from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, he is the [INSERT NAME OF CHAMPIONSHIP] champion and The Prince Of Prince Edward Island, SOLOMON GRAHAM!!!!

While he walks, he adds a bit of arrogance to his step, strutting a little bit. When he reaches the ring, he climbs the ring steps and wipes his feet on the apron before stepping into the ring. When he does, he walks over to the ropes, sticking his arms high in the air, flipping off the fans again, before doing the “Suck It!” motion to the belt around his waist. He then gets into his corner, removes his belt and waits for his opponent.

Post-Match Celebration: Will raise both of his hands in the air, taking in the booing. After this, he flips off every fan in the audience and exits the ring, walking back up the ramp with a satisfaction on his face.

Accolades:

FWA:
FWA Tag Team championship (2x, current. w/Blair Sigma)
FWA Hardcore championship (1x, inaugural. Crowned himself the champion and then lost it five minutes later because of the 24/7 rule)

Biography:
He is the son of Canadian wrestling legend, “Late Night” Allen Graham, as well as grandson of Canadian-American wrestling icon, Lyle Graham, Sr. He trained alongside his siblings and cousins(the only ones worth noting being Ryan Graham of AXW fame and Emily Graham of CHAMP and GHWA fame). He graduated at age 20 and went on to become a staple of Canadian wrestling, much like his father and grandfather before him. He soon branched out, becoming well known in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the surrounding states (he’s even been to Italy to wrestle and lived there for a brief period with his boyfriend).

While he hasn’t won many championships, he has a reputation of brutality in the ring, often pushing his opponent to the absolute limit before either beating them or realizing he can’t and accepting his fate. He is in EWS because of his uncle, Jamie Zero, who recommended him to management. They saw the excellent qualities in him, signed him to a contract… and then properly wasted his talent by making him a joke. He has been royally pissed off ever since those days and longs to make EWS (and others under their umbrella) pay and realize their mistake. He even opened his own company and signed two former EWS World champions (one of which is also a former 3x AXW Champion) as well as some other former AXW talents to show what he was capable of.

Other:
-Graham is openly bisexual, though it’s not talked about or mentioned very often.

-Graham chose the Low Blow as his finisher because he feels it will help ingrain in the minds of the fans that he is a heel and will help distinguish him from other heels on the roster.

-He feels that unlike him, most heels these days don’t really know how to be proper heels (aside from a select few, of course)

-He’s also a known fan of video games, comics and internet culture and will sometimes reference those in promos as well.

-This has been a well kept secret since he got into the wrestling business, but he has High Functioning Autism, which is really helpful to him as a booker since the gears in his head never stop turning.
