Standard Entrance: The lights go out, and for a few seconds, no noise can be heard. Suddenly, the silence is shattered by the opening riffs of "Big Gun" by AC/DC. Strobe lights go off all over the building, and teal colored pyrotechnics explode near the entry. The lights come up, and there, emerging from behind the curtain, wearing his standard blue jeans, black leather vest, boots, black MMA fighting gloves, black bandanna and sunglasses, Slade appears ready for a hard day of work more than a wrestling match. His lips curl into a small smirk as he scans the crowd before making his way to ringside. He wipes his feet on the side of the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and warming up like a boxer, throwing jabs and moving around the ring. He slips off his sunglasses, bandanna and vest, tossing them aside.
Big Match Entrance: The crackling of thunder can be heard. The big screen cuts to an aerial shot of the Coliseum in Rome with a gray sky offsetting it. As the aerial shot dives toward the ground you see the ruins of the Coliseum. Then it does a mad rush to the center where a lone man stands in the midst of the empty arena. The man is decked out in a classic Gladiator gear with a gold plated masked helmet on, a sword, and a shield. Then a voice over starts: Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains." The gladiator drops his shield to the dirt below his feet. "If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior." His sword is the next to fall. "All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside. The gladiator removes his helmet and mask, letting it fall into the sand, and looks up at the camera, revealing Slade. He smirks at the camera and utters one phrase:
Slade: Are you not entertained?
He thumps his right hand over the breastplate of golden armor twice, before raising a triumphant fist into the air as the thunder and lightning roil around him in the deserted arena. Just as he does, the building goes pitch dark, leaving everything in silence. After a few brief seconds, the silence is shattered by the opening riffs of "Big Gun" by AC/DC. Once the drum kicks in, strobe lights go off all over the building, and teal colored pyrotechnics explode near the entry. The lights come up, and there, emerging from behind the curtain, wearing his standard blue jeans, black leather vest, boots, black MMA fighting gloves, black bandanna and sunglasses, Slade appears ready for a hard day of work more than a wrestling match. His lips curl into a small smirk as he scans the crowd before making his way to ringside, his right hand raised over his head like in the video. He wipes his feet on the side of the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and warming up like a boxer, throwing jabs and moving around the ring. He slips off his sunglasses, bandanna and vest, tossing them aside.
Character Strengths:
-Ability to absorb punishment, with almost freakish resilience. He has never tapped out, and would rather be injured or pass out.
-Fiercely loyal to those who are loyal to him. You have to give respect to get it, but once you get it, it never goes away.
-Although he is advancing in years, he continues to make sure that every match is a "main event" level matchup. He has no problem accentuating someone's positives.
Character Weaknesses:
-He has broken his neck, so he is leery of any move that may compress the spine.
-His need for control in everyday situations (personal and professional alike) can cripple him in most social decisions.
-Trust is a big thing with him; if you break it, it will take YEARS to get it back, if ever.
-He will never back down from a fight. Ever. Even if he knows he has no chance to win, he will fight until the end. Sometimes a strength, sometimes a weakness.
