| World Association of Wrestling (WAW) All Star � Tall and almost lanky, the All Star is the epitome of athleticism. He is very flexible and fast. He can also leap nearly 3 � feet straight up. He has been known to leap to the shoulders of Brian the Giant (nearly 7�) with only a slight push off with his hands. All Star is very popular with the fans, and his finishing move is the "Superstar splash" off the top rope. Brian the Giant � Born just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Brian the Giant lives up to his name. Large of stature and a true �Giant� in the wrestling ring. Towards the beginning of his career he regularly fought in matches pitting himself against 3 or more foes. He held the Heavyweight championship longer than any other wrestler, successfully defending it against the likes of Mark �the Menace� Hogan, Death Wish, Warlord and others. Toward the end of his career he set himself a great task and challenged every wrestler at the time, beating them all one by one. He then turned over the championship to Warlord and retired, though his early retirement was short lived. He soon returned as a manager and several wrestlers, even some he had bested in the ring, flocked to him. Brian stands 6� 11� tall, weighs in at 325 pounds. His build is more the style of a professional basketball player than a �heavyweight� fighter, but his endurance is definitely that of a warrior. He usually wears his hair (which is blonde) short, and sports the traditional black singlet as his uniform. His signature move is a flying body press, which is made all the more amazing since it was a big man doing it. He throws his opponent into the ropes, runs off the other ropes, then leaps in the air - crashing into his opponent as they run toward him. Corp. Chiropractor � A younger cousin to both Lt. Marco and the Colonel; Corp. Chiropractor followed in their footsteps. He hasn�t wrestled as long as Lt. Marco, nor did he remain in the military long as the Colonel. Some use these two facts to draw the conclusion he is an inferior �copy�. They couldn�t be more wrong. Corp. Chiropractor brings pain to a sharp focus. He specializes in twisting, body locks that drain energy and inflict large amounts of pain on his opponents. As both his cousins, Chiropractor wears camouflage fatigues to the ring. He is more likely to bring a weapon along than the Colonel, but does so less often than Lt. Marco. Deathwish Jones� Farley Jones (never call him that) grew up tough as a gangster in Harlem, NY. The life of the gang was all he knew and still plays a large part in his wrestling persona. He usually wears spiked shoulder and knee pads, and carries a large baseball bat with knife blades sticking from it. His hair is dark brown as are his eyes. His demeanor is even darker. Death Wish likes to attack those he views as his enemies in groups. His usual conspirators are the twins Spike and Blade (The tag team known as the Nightmares). However, even alone Death Wish is a force to be reckoned with. He is strong, mean, and merciless. He pulls no punches, and doesn't hesitate to take any advantage. He is managed by Hong Kong Wong, but is not nearly esoteric enough to have mastered his fighting style - Death Wish is all about smash mouth street fighting. Deathwish has utilized a number of finishing moves over the years. His first finisher was the 'DeathWish Drop,' a double knee drop off the ropes. He also used a squeezing pinning combination called simply, 'the Finisher,' which was a combination of a cradle and body scissors. But lately, he has employed a knock-out hold called the 'Death Test', a modified sleeper in which he bends his victim backward over his back, preventing him from struggling while DW applies pressure to the carotid artery. Knock out usually takes less than a minute. Death Wish has feuded with Lt. Marco, Mr. X, the Black Ninja, and (briefly) Muscleman. Though he never managed to beat Brian the Giant, their matches, especially at Megabattle I and II are legendary. Lt. Marco Thorne � A veteran of several secret conflicts, Lt. Marco fought as a Green Beret in the U.S. Army. Upon leaving the military he chose to enter the wrestling ring. He is often accompanied by his manager, Crystal, as well as one or both of his cousins Corp. Chiropractor and the Colonel. Teaming with the Colonel he won the Intercontinental Tag Team championship. He has also worn the Intercontinental singles belt and after long being a major contender for the world championship he one that as well. Lt. Marco brought an old friend of his into the WAW only to betray him. Liang Po 'Hong Kong' Wong was Lt. Marco's sensei long enough for Marco to master the Wong fighting style, after which he promptly dumped him and returned to Crystal. Marco thus gained an enemy, but he did master the 'Wong Death Chop,' with which he has won many matches. Speaking of enemies, Lt. Marco's arrogance and disdain for all opponents has left him as one of the most hated men in the WAW. He has had major feuds with Wong, Deathwish Jones, Red Dragon, Muscleman, Brian the Giant, and Mark 'The Menace' Hogan, to name only a few. Lt. Marco wears full camouflage fatigues to his matches. He usually carries a bayonet, and sometimes the rifle it is mounted on. He often likes to humiliate his opponents by defeating them with their own finishing move. His own signature move is the Bayonet, a flying kick off the top rope, usually onto a prone enemy. He also Because of his special forces training, Lt. Marco is also one of the most dangerous wrestlers to make the transition into the Fantastic Rumble. If push comes to shove, he is a crack sniper with that rifle when it is loaded. Miss Magnificence � Trained as a professional ballerina, Miss Magnificence was often overlooked. She is graceful in the ring, and swift in her movements, and one of the best pure athletes in the WAW. She was managed for a long time by Crystal, but broke away from her during the first 'Best of the Best' tournament, defeating Lt. Marco in the quarterfinals of that tournament, and going on to beat Mr. X in the final match. Though she never held any title (other than being called 'Best of the Best' for a year) she has earned a great deal of respect. Speaking of their only match against one another, Brian the Giant said: �I�ve been kicked and punched a lot. I mean a real lot, but never quite as hard as by Miss Magnificence. She moves fast, so watch those feet.� Indeed, her kicks are her main asset, and she has been known to knock much larger men out cold with her 'Spinning Pirouette' kick. Her main finisher is called the 'Toe Touch,' and is as simple as it is deadly. Leaping over a prone opponent, she plants the tips of her toes right between the eyes. Her speed combined with her accuracy make this a very difficult maneuver to avoid, and it is almost always good for a three count.
