Name: Ghosthead (Jared Mann)
Height: 6 foot 3
Weight: 235 Lbs

Spits black mist in opponent's eyes to incapicitate them at times.

Appearance: Athletic, muscular build like a slightly taller more muscular Shelton Benjamin. He is about 6' 3 1/2" he wears black tights with white tribal signs. White boots, white gloves. Sometimes white elbow pads depending on whether he’s wearing tights or trunks, which he tends to alternate depending on his mood. His long dreadlocks are completely dyed white. His long braided goatee is also dyed white. He wears white facepaint that covers his whole face with black painted Japanese symbols on each side of his face translating to "Ghosthead Killer". Sometimes the symbols are painted in red. He has Mexican tribal sleeve tattoos on both arms and a large back tattoo of a hollowed out sun with a Japaneese symbol that translates to "Trial by Fire" in red at the sun's center.
Entrance Music: "Divide The Hate" by Submersed
Entrance: Lights darken and music hits. Spotlight is on Ghosthead as he walks down the ramp to the ring. As he enters the ring, white fog envelopes the mat and billows over to the floor covering the ring mat and concrete surrounding the ring. He perches on a top corner turnbuckle either awaiting his opponent or glaring at his opponent if they are already in the ring.
Signature Moves:
Eidolon - Runs the ropes, jumps off middle rope, and comes back with a flying forearm.
Vex Vice – Matt Hardy’s Side Effect into an Anaconda Vice.
Night Terror – Asai DDT of Ultimo Dragon fame.
Mark for Death – Black mist spray onto opponent’s face.
Horror Driver – Impaler piledriver
Corner Splash, Graveyard Smash, Running Knee, Spinebuster, Back Elbow, German suplex, Superkick, Running elbow drop, Armbar, Brainbuster, Facebuster, Running bulldog, Gutwrench, Pile driver, Back Drop Driver
Finishing Moves
Standard finisher: Phantasmagoria – Leaping Triangle Choke where Ghosthead leaps up and connects almost as if its the beginning of a hurricanrana, but quickly traps an arm and grapevines his legs around the opponent’s neck, trapping them in a triangle choke hold until they submit. He can also perform this maneuver when the opponent is on their knees as is done with a Shining Triangle Choke hold.
Secondary Finisher: Spectre’s Fall – Top Rope Shooting Star Frog Splash. Lot’s of height and can be performed from either the top corner turnbuckle or where he walks out to the center of the top rope and jumps from there.
Background: He is the younger brother of Lucas Mann (Stank) and was a journeyman Independent wrestler who started his wrestling career at the age of 15 in Mexico. After he split from teaming with Stank in the early part of their careers, he moved to New Jersey where he trained with Tito Santana, who encouraged him, after some time, to go back to Mexico and ply his trade there. He met with some success in Mexico but became addicted to pain medication after an injury. He went to therapy for that (and to cope with other dark moments in his family’s history) and eventually was sent to Japan to gain better discipline in his trade.
Keijii Mutoh (The Great Muta) accepted Jared into his dojo and he operated for a time as an enforcer for Muta’s group. It was here where Muta gave him the “Ghosthead gimmick’. Jared enjoyed some success in Japan and Stank later joined him there briefly reforming their old tag team from their early start in Mexico. Jared later ran into trouble with the Japanese Mafia and was forced to leave Japan.
Jared returned to Mexico with the Ghosthead gimmick adopting the name Deathhead. While in Mexico he was involved in a fierce rivalry with El Lobo Sangriento which garnered high praise amongst the Lucha Libre fans in AAA. After the feud expired Jared took some time off from a regular schedule in AAA, ever so often appearing on the indy circuit wrestling under his own name.
A return to Japan years later found him back in the ring where he once again adopted the Ghosthead gimmick and entered into a bitter rivalry with Shinsuke Nakamura that culminated in a backstage incident that became deeply personal for Jared and resulted in his departure from Japan and deciding to leave his son in the country with his mother (Jared’s Japanese ex-girlfriend from his first tour in Japan. It is purported She was the source of his trouble with the Yakuza from before.)
During his travels Jared met and married Shannon Laszlo (Shannon the barmaid) of Irish and Hungarian descent and former employee of Stank’s in the OOWF (Unbeknownst to Jared at the time.)
Shannon accompanies Jared to the ring but never interferes in his matches, preferring to sit ringside and watch in silence. Though she experimented for a time with pro boxing, and has been trained some by Stank, she does not wrestle.
Name: Shannon Laszlo Mann
Height: 5 foot 7 1/2
Weight: 138 Lbs
Birthdate: April 2, 1984
Trained By: Stank
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Appearance: Athletic and toned like Gina Carano. Very attractive, Tomboy-ish and is totally unaware of her attractiveness. Body side rose tattoo (black) on her left side. Thorn vine tattoo around her right wrist. Small stud nose ring. Blue eyes. During her first stint in the OOWF she had short red hair. She now has long dark brown hair. When she escorts Jared to the ring she wears a small white jacket with a black t-shirt underneath and exposed midriff. Sometimes black jeans and sometimes a black mini skirt with black leggings and white boots. Dark eye makeup and dark lipstick but not quite goth in appearance. She either sits at ringside almost in a trance like state as her husband wrestles or she returns to the back until the match has concluded. She will pose in the ring at the beginning and end of the match depending on the outcome.
Background: Shannon was discovered by Stank and FF Capslock tending bar at a disreputable establishment in Atlanta. During the inevitable bar fight, that Drink & Destroy Classic found themselves in frequently, back in the day, Stank took particular notice on how Shannon held her own against the rowdy patrons. She and Stank got to talking and Stank was charmed, impressed enough to offer her a position at the Destroyitarium to assist and tend bar. She accepted and became enamored with the lifestyle of the OOWF staff and talent, traveling the world, plying their trade. Stank later trained her to wrestle, but she refused to step in the ring, opting to stay in the background on the fringes of OOWF life. When Stank left Drink & Destroy to join The Five he brought Shannon along with him, but hanging out with The Five was not the same as it had been in the Destroyitarium, so she quietly left shortly before The Five disbanded.
She continued to travel and coincidentally met up with Jared Mann in Mexico. Though she knew who he was, Jared had no idea of Shannon’s connection to his brother until months after he had met, fallen in love, and eventually married her. There was a brief period of separation because of it, but they ultimately worked it out and are now totally devoted to one another. Shannon has now taken a particular/renewed interest in Jared’s career and offered him her services as Ghosthead’s valet, and sometimes mouthpiece.
