BREATHE


That single word echoes throughout the arena, stirring a positive reaction from the capacity crowd in attendance. 


Trudeau: Coming to the ring, weighing in at 227 pounds and hailing from Newark, New Jersey…


The beat drops as Mike Hardy’s rendition of ‘Breathe’ blares over the PA system.  Chris Bagwell steps through the curtain wearing his trademark torn blue jeans, complimented with only wristbands.  He pauses at the top of the stage before flicking his arms up and out to the sides, palms facing the sky.  His body language screams to ‘Idolize Me’


Trudeau: He is the ‘Rajah of Ratings’….


Bagwell whips his arms down to his sides, signaling a huge pop from the crowd.  He triumphantly marches down the aisle towards the ring.


Trudeau: He is…CCCCCHHHRRRIIISSS BBBAAAAAAAAGGGWEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!


Bagwell slips under the bottom rope and into the ring.  He pops back up to his feet and once again flaunts his ‘Idolize Me’ pose to the crowd!  As he brings his arms to his sides, the music fades.


 

General Strategy

For the most part, Chris concentrates on a power-based technician move set which keeps his opponent locked in close. He focuses heavily on suplexes and low-risk manuevers. For big matches, especially gimmick matches, Chris goes to lengths to get a victory with many high-risk manuevers -- regardless if they mean hurting himself. He likes going directly for the win, nothing fancy. The first chance he gets at the The Torn Identity, he takes it. However he only likes to use the move once in a match ... and assure that one time puts his opponent out.

Spot 1

The Torn Identity onto a guardrail, a chair, a table, or anything else that would cause an opponent to really get crushed.

Spot 2

The Randomizer - Secondary specialty finishing move, rarely used and typically only used in big matches.


It is a backflip exploder suplex and can be seen 16 seconds into this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bnX0msunpFA
