Name: Darius Prentiss
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada
Age/Birthdate: 24, 9/21/1986
Trained By: MMA: Jens Pulver and Chuck Lidell. Wrestling: Chris Hero, CM Punk
Professional Debut: 5/1/2009, for UWC in a mixed tag match (as Hijo Afortunado, with Charlotte Everstark) versus Reina de Hielo and Max Hartley. Winner by submission.
Gimmick: MMA Lightweight turned to wrestling. Cocky as hell.
Appearance: Prentiss has black hair and green eyes. He wears a Van Dyke beard/moustache a la Green Arrow. Prentiss wears black forest green MMA-style shorts into the ring and wears the kind of gloves that MMA guys do. He has an ornate skeleton key tattoo on his left shoulderblade.
He wrestles barefoot.
Moveset: He's an MMA guy to the core. His fighting style consists of Muay Thai strikes (punches, knees, elbows, kicks) to weaken his opponent and clinches/ground throws to get them on the ground. Once he's got them on the ground, he'll either a) try to get the opponent into a full mount and strike them in the face repeatedly or b) try to get them into a joint lock of some type (armbar, kimura, et cetera) or some other submission hold. Since his introduction into the wrestling world, he's been trying to incorporate the occasional lucha-esque move into his arsenal (mainly flying knee strikes/elbows to prone opponent from the top turnbuckle).
Signature Moves:
Running/Leaping Knee Strike
Top Rope Elbow Drop
Ankle Lock
Running Scissor Kick
Submissions:
Ankle Lock
ARMBARS!
Finishers:
Fade to Black: (A Hanging Figure Four. Prentiss whips the opponent into the turnbuckle, leaps to the top, and wraps his legs around the opponent's neck. He then drops, letting gravity do the work to choke his opponent.)
Broken Reality: (A Guillotine Choke.)
Shattered Future: (A Canadian Destroyer , used only if the opponent is small enough.)
Entrance Music: "Knights of Cydonia", by Muse.
Background:
Pre-wrestling life was pretty normal. Prentiss was a member of his high school's wrestling team, earning all-state honors. He got in trouble though because of his amount of success with the ladies and got into a few scraps. Blame his cockiness and his confidence for that one.
Prentiss went to UNLV on a wrestling scholarship but hoped to become a doctor. A sickness in his family forced him to drop out early.
Prentiss met Charlotte Everstark in college and the two became fast friends. Prentiss and Everstark have never been romantically involved, although Prentiss has tried several times over the years. Too bad Everstark has put the poor sucker in the Friend Zone.
After college, Prentiss worked at several places, eventually landing a job at a gym. While at the gym, he talked to a Muay Thai trainer who invited him to come in for lessons. Prentiss took to Muay Thai like a fish to water and quickly became a skilled fighter. Charlotte suggested he try MMA for size. He won his first amateur bout and was hooked.
Prentiss competed in UFC in the lightweight division and, while never reaching the UFC Lightweight Belt, was always a strong contender. Unfortunately, Dana White didn't like Prentiss and Prentiss's mouth didn't help him at all in that regard. He was booked to fight in a lightweight championship match but for unknown reasons was dropped from the card.
What Prentiss should have known is that you don't piss Dana White off... and you especially don't try to put the moves on Dana White's wife. Prentiss was fired and blackballed from the MMA world. He lives knowing that he could have won the championship.
Charlotte again provided Prentiss with an idea... why not try pro wrestling? She had been wrestling in a local Indie fed and had been enjoying it and she was sure that he could get a job. His UFC and amateur wrestling backgrounds would serve him well and his personality worked in his favor.
Prentiss wrestled under a mask as Hijo Afortunado in several crappy Indie feds which quickly folded, not wanting the crowd to know who he was. He then made it into ROH and spent a few months there (again as Hijo Afortunado) before catching the eye of Kurt Angle, who further improved his submission knowledge. He was slated to join TNA before an unfortunate incident that he refuses to talk about... rumors say, however, that it involved at least two of these three things:
Velvet Sky
A bottle of chocolate sauce
A marmot
(Don't ask).
Prentiss rebounded and got a contract with the OVOOWF (or whatever they call it). After a fair bit of competition, he won the OVOOWF Championship (coincidentally from Charlotte Everstark). Darius and Charlotte were granted a chance to try competing in the big leagues. Unexpectedly, Charlotte said that she needed more training but was more than willing to join the OOWF as a valet to Darius.
Deciding to use his real name, he's ready to try to take the OOWF by storm.
