Name: Macht Kraftwerk II [aka MKII, Macht II, The Sequel, II] Hometown: Augsburg, Bayern, Germany Weight: 180 zentimeters [5'11"] Height: 86.5 kilogramms [190 pounds] Orientation: Face Entrance Music: "2nd Choice" by Infinite Ending Entrance: Suddenly, the rock/techno sounds of Infinite Ending's "2nd Choice" plays over the PA as the crowd cheers for Macht Kraftwerk II. MKII wears a purple/red/orange open-topped mask that shows his brown hair and his same color wrestling tights & shirt attire. Macht II doesn't waste any time as he runs down to the ring, slides under the bottom rope Appearance: Has psuedo-spiked brown hair that comes out of his open-topped mask. That mask that MKII wears is a very dark purple with dark red linings on the orifices and golden orange band around the opening at the top. He wears a pair of wrestling tights with the same colorset: deep purple with a dark red stripe going down both legs and a golden orange band around the waist. He also wears a "Macht II" T-shirt that shows a set of flames on the back. Wrestling Style: Much like his idol, the original Macht Kraftwerk, MKII's agile and powerful for his build. However, unlike the first Kraftwerk, this second edition also sports an array of holds and submission manuevers that Kraftwerk never used. As well, MKII's a bit quicker with his moves and faster overall than the original Kraftwerk. However, he doesn't have the same power as the first Kraftwerk, so MKII tries to use his speed to put more force into the moves... All summed, very good aerial wrestler, pretty good technician side, and has some power moves. Strengths: - Ability - He's got all areas covered. - Speed - Very quick, both with his feet aand his moves - Strength - Yes, he's not as strong as thhe first Kraftwerk, but for a junior of his size, he's got some muscle.

Good at many thing, but certainly not the best in any of them. - Brawling - Much like the First, he won'tt brawl, cheat, bend the rules, or do anything to ruin a clean fight. - Spotman - Likes to go for the big show rrather than going directly for the win.

At the time, Kraftwerk was breaking down - he had a bad back from his former fights with Idol Austin; he had a bad neck from repeated attacks by Destiny; and he suffered multiple concussions. But he fought through it all and kept taking the fight to Shane Destiny. The two finally decided to settle the score at the pay-per-view, "Blood, Sweat, and Tears", in a one-on-one fight for pride. Macht fought the best he could, but his injuries were too much as Destiny took control of the match. Desinty, after battling and finally hitting Kraftwerk with the Air Raid Crash, Destiny could have gone for the cover and ended it there. He could have gotten the cover and ended the match with dignity. But Destiny balked and went for another Air Raid Crash... and yet another. And wasn't even done there. Admonished by the ref, threatened by the fans, he continued his assault by locking in Kraftwerk with the Destiny Strangle... which ended the career of Macht Kraftwerk, seemingly for good. Watching that match was a young wrestler from outside of Munich, Germany. He witnessed his idol get brutally beaten by Destiny and was enraged by the event. The next day, the young man went to the same wrestling school in Munich that Macht Kraftwerk learned his craft. The same trainers were there, albeit much older but still capable. They too were sad to see their former pupil fall and agreed to help the man hone his craft in the style that Kraftwerk did. However, this young man wasn't exactly the same as Macht - he was a little shorter and smaller, but a bit quicker. So the trainers decided not exactly train him the same, but suit to the man's needs. The young wrestler already had some experience in the ring before, having wrestled two years in Latin America, so training him was easy. After some time, the men at the wrestling school decided that he had learned all he could and set him out to America. They gave him the name "Die Sekunde" and gave him his new mask - in the same design as his fallen idol. The men there told the young man to make the name proud and do his best to work his way up the American wrestling ladder - just as the first Macht Kraftwerk did. Thus, Macht Kraftwerk II was born and made with a purpose... After coming to American, MKII needed to display himself to the American audience and bring himself into a position where he could do what he wanted. Thus, he signed on with various small time promotions - the only ones that would take chance on a wrestler billed as the second edition of another. Most of the places he wrestled in centered in the Mid-Atlantic statesand got most support from Championship Fighting Federation. There in the CFF, Macht II met Goku Waru - current RCW wrestling manager and owner of the CFF. Waru gave advice and some tips to Kraftwerk II and even helped train him a little for some additional things. Waru's motives, though, were suspect as well as self-serving, but MKII took any and all help he could get.
