***Wrestler's Bio: Born April 24th, 1982 was the man we know as "Pretty" Ricky Valero, Richard Nicholas Valero in Staten Island, NY to Salvatore and Rose Valero. Ricky was the middle of three children, an older brother, Sal, and a younger sister, Angelina. Unfortunately, all three children would be abandoned at a young age, the oldest Sal being 17 years old in 1993. The three siblings were lost and alone and despite family members taking them in and moving them out to Camden, NJ at one point, things never seemed to work.
Ricky’s escape was found in sports, where he excelled in baseball and, of course, wrestling throughout high school. He earned All-State honors twice for his favorite baseball. Ricky was best at his second love however...wrestling. He wrestled in the 140 lb., 145 lb., and finally the 189 lb. weight class in his junior and senior years, placing in regionals both years.
In June of 2000, Ricky graduated from Woodrow Wilson High in Camden and immediately enrolled in the Monster Elite wrestling school. He trained with the great Mark Gray and progressed quickly. Mark Gray was impressed and made calls to promotions around the area, informing them of this young, 18-year-old kid and his abilities, raving about his character and mic skills as well as obvious ring talent.
In December, Ricky joined the IPW, Inferno Pro Wrestling, a league he was recruited into by his friend Blazin' Bobby Zooka, and quickly climbed the ladder. Then working under the name Black Jack, he took on the likes of many top competitors within the league and garnered some gold during his short stay, most notably the Tag Team titles with his tag team partner Mizery in a death-defying Cage Match at February 2001's Dead or Alive pay-per-view event.
Unfortunately just months later, the league would find itself in financial turmoil and would have no choice but to shutdown but not before their final event on April 22nd, two days before Ricky's 19th birthday. Ricky's brother Sal had been enrolled in the same wrestling school as Ricky and had finally made his way into the IPW just in time to watch it crumble. This lit a fire under Ricky who did not take nicely to his brother trying to steal his spotlight and so the family feud began culminating at Doom's Day in a Lion's Den Weapons match for the IPW Hardcore Championship. Both brothers were at each other's throats all night but it would soon be Ricky who came out victorious and stood tall over his brother, his title raised in the air and that trademark smirk across his face.
In December 2001, Ricky finally found his home after months of searching and landed himself in Shootclub Wrestling Alliance, set to take on all that would be placed in front of him. In a decade with the company, Ricky achieved multiple heavyweight championship reigns, making his mark as one of the most popular—or hated—superstars in the company throughout.
For the past few years, Ricky has been a rolling stone. Taking time off on occasion and spending time on the roster of some other promotions, such as the Next Evolution Wrestling Alliance, Pro Wrestling X, Pride Pro Wrestling and more. More often than not, the doors to each would be open for just a short period of time, but they would not shut before Ricky could make his presence felt.
***Wrestler's Theme Music: “Cinderella Man” by Eminem
***Wrestler's Entrance: "Cinderella Man" by Eminem blasts throughout the arena. White and pink strobe lights flash as Ricky makes his appearance and stands through a cloud of fog bouncing on his toes with a sly grin on his face. He makes his way toward the ring high fiving fans along his route. He circles the ring, before reaching the far corner. Slowly he climbs up the steps and leans his back against the ropes, bouncing against them a few times with his arms wrapped over top of them before spinning on his heels and hopping into the ring.
Ricky spins around in the center of the ring with his arms extended out, absorbing the crowd's cheers. He walks towards the ropes on the far side of the ring and simply smiles. The music slowly quiets down as Ricky turns and leans against the ropes closest to the entranceway, awaiting his opponent.
***Wrestling style: Ricky is simply put, a showman. Once known to be quite the high-flyer, Ricky has become much more conservative in the ring over the years though still resorting to his old style from time to time. He uses a good mixture of styles, normally varying depending on his opponent(s), including power moves as well as submissions, showing his old high school wrestling skills. He's known to find the easiest way out and inflict vast amounts of damage to his opponents when he finds the opportunity, never moving in on his opponent(s) to soon.
***Gimmick Description (Doesn't need to be long. Just something so I have an idea what your character is): A self-confident showman who thrives off the energy of the crowd. He talks the talk and walks the walk, backing up his egotistical ways with an entertaining moveset that meshes methodical technique with high risk, high reward “do or die” maneuvers.
