Wrestlers Full Name:  Mike Valley

Wrestlers Birth Date:  01/11/71

Gender:  Male

Height:  6'8"

Weight: 276lbs.

Hometown: Brockton, MA

Wrestlers Background: Growing up in the Brockton area, Valley had to learn to fight. Anyone who knows that area of MA, knows what it's like. So, ever since he was a teenage, he was always hitting the gym. He began wrestling in high-school, and almost went to college. He skipped college for a wrestling deal in a small time promotion that lasted a few years. He then took time off to go study at received a degree in business. He opened a sports bar in Boston and closed it to go work for another wrestling promotion called EWWA with his good friend Ryan Cooke.

Beginning his run there he made himself look like a tyrant, throwing a sixty pound midget down a flight of stairs, and following that up by attacking the world Champion merely a week later. He wrestled at the time under the nickname of Hannibal, until he joined with three close friends of his, beginning the stable, "Valleybomb". Valley soon after turned on them to align with his friend and owner, Ryan Cooke.

Valley and Cooke had a long run with EWWA when they united as "Upper Class", running all of the competition into the ground, Valley even became the longest running EWWA World Heavyweight Champion, until Ryan Cooke cut it short, turning on him. The two went back and forth for two years, screwing each other over, and the fans, in what turned out to be the biggest scam in the history of the business, revealing to all the fans that through everything, it was all one big hoax.

Soon after that, Valley's career hit a dry spell, he would work shows here and there for about six months before getting an NWF contract in NeWA. A contract that lasted close to a month when he left fellow stable matches Chris Saint, Justin Sane, and Canis Lee high and dry in an eight man tag match. He returned the week after and injured his shoulder for the second time against Justin Sane. Upon medical clearance, Valley tried again with the NeWA, this time in his own backyard, the MWL. This lasted a total of three weeks before he vanished once more into the shadows.

Since that time Valley has been working on rebuilding his life. After losing his wife in a vicious divorce, losing his night club, and almost everything else, he has spent the past two years getting back to an acceptable social status. He spend three months in Japan to touch up his skills, and now he feels he is finally ready to come back with the fire and intensity that he once had.

Wrestlers Alignment: Neutral leaning towards heel.

Entrance Music: Fallen Rock Zone by Ra

Gimmick: Valley basically cares about one thing, himself. He's always trying to put himself in a better position with or without a partner. He does whatever it takes to get to the top, including takes out some of his closest friends.

Appearance (In Ring And Out): Valley has long natural blond hair, grown down to his upper back. He usually has this pulled back in a ponytail. Sometimes sports a chin goatee, or clean shaven. He has a large muscular build and has a tattoo on the back of his neck branding his family symbol.

In the ring he wears a pair of somewhat baggy black leather pants, black boots, and knee pads underneath the pants, with a knee brace (also underneath) on the left leg. He wears black elbow pads, and black fingerless gloves, with white wrist tape as well.

Full Ring Entrance:

[The sirens mixed with the light guitar work of Ra's
Fallen Rock Zone begin to play. The crowd is on it's toes with anticipation
for who's coming out. Weather they're here to boo this man, or cheer for
him, they love to do it, either way.]

[The sound of the guitars mixed with drums slams into full effect and out
walks Mike Valley to address the fans of PNW. He stands there with his hair
tied back in a ponytail, in his full ring gear. He also wears a black
beater, branded with a red Valley symbol on the front. His Oakley's
reflecting the light's of camera's flashing as people take their snapshots.
He stands there fore just a moment looking out upon the crowd.]

[The song takes a slight break from the heavy as lead singer Sahaj begins
his rant against the bastard woman beaters of the world. A constant reminder
for Valley of his former self. He walks to the ring as Sahaj and the rest of
the band slam away on their respective instruments. Some of the fans bang
their heads and fists in the air along with the flow of the track.]

[Valley approaches the ring and hops up onto the apron with his right knee.
He walks the side of the ring to the turnbuckle and grabs the rope. He grabs
the top rope and leans back for a moment to charge his leap as he leaps over
the top rope, showing excellent agility for a man his age and size.]

[He climbs the turnbuckle after planting his feet on the canvas. He removes
his shirt and Oakley's while pulling out his ponytail, tossing them to the
ring attendant. He throws his arms up in the air as if already victorious,
weather the fans boo him or not, he does not care. The song begins to fade
out as he hops off the middle turnbuckle and walks to the center of the ring
awaiting the bell.]
