Time to update!!!
Crete in Superhero Gear
Crete in Civvies
pOOster: ConcreteTG
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 250 lbs
Birthplace: Orlando, Florida (orginally listed from Lima, OH)
Build: Edge
Debut: OOWF "Original"
Face/Heel/Neutral: Superheroic face, Hurricane with some Chris Jericho thrown in. "Lives the gimmick" most of the time.
Physical Description:
Long black hair with purple highlights. Tall with a solid build, dark eyes but with a bright expression.
Attire:
Ring gear is usually Purple, Silver and black with a griffon rampant on the tights or shirt. Usually comes to the ring in ful superhero regalia - mask, cape, tight shirt. tights and boots. Outside the ring doesn't typically wear his mask (public superhero) but wears superhero motif shirts and jeans.
Personality: More often than not speaks in a "Hero mode" - and is a geek. No exceptions.
Entrance Music:
Solo entrance is "With Jupiter in Mind" by Joe Satriani. He strides out during the 15-second build and calls to the crowd, then does a standing double-bicep pose on the "punch" of the song, setting off a short burst of pyro (similar to Mysterio's pyro burst just before he comes out).
Team entrance is to "Front Line" by Pillar. Opens near the end of the bridge of the song, the voices shouting "We've got to lead the way" and Gryfon walks out with the rest of his team in tow to the refrain.
When Gryfon had a short stint in the WWE, his entrance was "Train of Angels" by Je Satriani, with a shortened opening march. A huge flash of purple and silver pyro announces his arrival and he jogs to the ring, hopping up the stairs (a la Shelton Benjamin) then vaulting in the ring for a proud superhero pose at ring's center. He then poses on the corners til his opponent comes out (or attacks him).
Moveset:
Pin Finisher:
The "Backwall" or "Final Justice", which is a wheelbarrow (face-first) powerbomb.
Alternate Finishers:
The "Cement Mixer" or "Long Arm of the Law", a Tiger Suplex 85 (one arm half-nelson'd, the other arm is chickenwinged)
Submission Finisher:
Crete relies on the "Scaffold" or "Dragnet" - Tajiri's standing Octopus finisher.
Signature Moves:
Gryfon can sometimes taunt a heel with a simple boot to the butt. When facing high-flyers or fast opponents he has a walk-up moonsault (similar to Christopher Daniels' BME and almost as pretty). When he has a power advantage he'll elevate opponents with an Impaler-styled DDT. He also stole the 6-1-9 (known as the C-T-G), which he uses offensively and defensively (as Mysterio originally intended). He's not afraid to fly out of the ring and can leap from a corner or springboard with a VERY high crossbody.
Style(old school, technician, brawler, etc.):
Technical with high-flying dotted in. More airborne than Jericho but not quite a Jeff Hardy flippity type.
Accomplishments:
OOWF champion, IC Champion, Tag Team Champion, Trios Champion
Associations:
Founding Member of the now-defunct As-Yet-Unnamed Face Faction (AYUFF) with Blackdragon, Soul Dragon, and AA; leader of the also-defunct Heroes Guild with Blackdragon, Firechild, Fly, and Nayr. Rumored to be "assisted" by Senior referee Sterling Glaw but was merely a victim of Glaw's overzealous guarding of the Rules. Crete has recently attempted to reform the guild but has trouble keeping members.
Gryfon has settled matters with his greatest foe Moosehead JAck.... for now. He continues his crusade for justice and hopes to bring allies along to one day finally bring Justice and Light to the OOWF. In that, he'll likely never run out of work.
