Wrestling Information

Strategy: Replies slightly heavily on strikes to get his point across. While he is not a MMA fighter or Boxer, his use of strikes could mislead you. He prefers to use strikes to knock someone onto the ground and then use submission holds to get his point across. He avoids high flying moves as they have always backfired in the past. That and he has a mild fear of heights.
Style: Strike-Biased Submissionist

Preferred Attacks: Hooks, jabs, elbows and knees make up his core arsenal. Suplexs also seem to crop up often especially if he is fighting a superior strike artist.

Preferred Match Types: Stays away from Hentai with a passion. Doesn't mean he won't. It's just very unlikely. Asides from that he is game for anything else. He will even do 24/7 and hardcore matches. Just as long as the matches are evenly placed... or he gets roped into it.

Stats:

Endurance:★★★★★ - His best asset. The ability to survive power moves and get back up again is the main reason he wins matches.
Strength:★★★ - While his strikes bite hard, his throws, slams and holds lack the strength of an experienced wrestler.
Speed:★★★ - His strikes are more towards 5 stars but he requires more time than most to set up slams and power moves.
Defense:★★★★ - Masterfully able to block and absorb strikes, his ability to defend against holds leaves something to be desired.
Technique:★★★ - He is getting better at his technique but still requires work.

Strikes:★★★★★ - His main weapon. It would be slightly disconcerting if he wasn't good with strikes.
Submissions: ★★★ - Basic submission moves he has gotten nailed down but he struggles with some of the more complex ones
Powerhouse:★★★ - He is good, but he is no River Styx.
Aerial:0 - Yeah. He ain't climbing that turnbuckle.
Counters:★★ - Prefers to be on the offence, so his countering has suffered as a result.

Signature Moves

Backpeddler Hook: A strange attack he used at a boxing gym and stuck. Backpeddling while throwing a left hook at his opponents face. It only works when the person is at close range and has known to fail against veteran boxers and strikers. If it does work however it causes them to lose their balance and hopefully hit the floor. One time when it failed to work, Jacob got hit in the gut so hard that he staggered back and through the middle ropes.

Personality: Jacob is a rather level headed person. However he can very easily become hot headed if he is provoked. He carries himself with the usual British middle class manners and tries to be a gentleman where possible. When the bell rings he is focused on winning, though if he is allowed to become too cocky his vanity will take over and at that point his only focus is how good he looks while kicking ass.

History

Born in Tamworth, England back in the 90's, he grew up in a rather middle class family. Both of his parents were high level managers in various companies so they weren't short of some money. Sure they weren't super rich, but the middle class was a nice place to be. His parents had enough money to get him privately educated, spending most of his time between home and various boarding academies across the country. Growing up was generally care free for Jacob. His life was normal, his life was nice. His parents were saving up for his future and at 16 left school, ready to go to sixth form and pave the way to a degree.

At 16 however, his parents were taken away from him in a tragic car crash. With no immediate family it looked like he was going to have to go into hostel care for 2 years. However, it was revealed that his parents had stashed away nearly £500,000 in an account, supposed to be given to him when he graduated University to start his own fortune. This combined with the £250,000 house and his mother and fathers life insurance policies, Jacob easily had over a Million pounds at his disposal. Despite the money, the house was far too large, and contained far too many memories for Jacob to stay there. With no one agreeing to become his guardian the time had come for Jacob to sell everything in the house and move into a hostel.

While cleaning out the loft he discovered some strange objects relating to his mothers past. Before she was born it appeared that she had been a wrestler. And a good one at that. She had fought in leagues all over the country and was about to sign on with a international one. However before she could do that she became pregnant with Jacob, retired and went into the world of work to keep herself busy.  Several of her pictures pointed to a trainer in London. Eager to discover this new side of his mother, he travelled to London to seek this guy out.

They gym owned a small wrestling gym in one of many London's back alleys. Upon entering he instantly recognised the son of his most famous wrestler and agreed to become his legal guardian to save him from the hostel system. While living with him, Jacob became more and more interested in wrestling and eventually started lessons himself. It was clear that he didn't have the skill or the gusto of hi smother, but his trainer had managed to mould him into a semi-decent wrestler of the course of 6 years. After fighting in smaller leagues Jacob wanted something bigger, and decided to move to Japan, selling all of his assets he hopped onto a plane and started his new adventure.
