ENTRANCE MUSIC: Ode To Joy
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: <br>MATCH WRITERS: You can use the space between the paragraphs to talk up the match or Low's achievements!!!
<p>(The grandiose sounds of "Ode To Joy" begin to play and the arena is spotlighted by several orange laser lights. As the music goes full-force, the arena is illuminated in a bright orange light. Orange fireworks go off at each side of the ramp, as well as each side of the stage. One by one the fireworks work their way towards the entrance area in the center of the stage. As they reach their destination, one HUGE orange explosion shakes the arena's foundation. The boos intensify as The Legendary Low steps out onto the stage. Displaying the black and orange robe allegedly given to him by Ric Flair, Low spreads his arms and slowly spins around.)
<p>(As an orange firework rain almost looks like a curtain between Low and the Ameritron, Low starts walking down the ramp, grinning and mocking some of the fans he passes.)
<p>(The arena looks like an orange sea as Low reaches the ring. He slowly walks up the steps and draws some more boos as he arrogantly smiles to the crowd. He enters the ring and spreads his arms and circles around the ring, soaking up every single boo in the arena, as his music quiets down.)
DESCRIPTION: Low has the classic wrestler's built - fit and defined, but not bulky or overly ripped, though he is quite muscular (think early-90s Steve Austin). He has dropped a few pounds during his hiatus in early-2007 and is now a bit leaner than in 2006. After cutting off his trademark long orange hair in early-2005, Low is now sporting an orange haircut similar to the one he had when he debuted years ago (about ear length), but now he usually has it slicked back (think Ric Flair today).
The day before King Of The Kage 2006, Low added a tattoo to his look. It is slightly on the left of his chest and shows a hole in his chest, with his skin peeled back. We can "look into his body" and see a red human heart wrapped in the black steel mesh of a steel cage. One week after King Of The Kage 2007, Low added a black crown on the top of the heart.
NOTE ABOUT LOW'S IN-RING STYLE: he is NOT a constantly cheating heel. His managers, friends, stablemates do not interfere all the time, his experience, smarts, stamina and wrestling expertise secure him the advantage! He rarely cheats to win, simply because he doesn't have to. If he cheats, it is mostly because he wants to; or maybe his managers trip his opponent or something small like that.
ADDED 06/09/2006: Low has also decided to make his in-ring style a little more flashy. He started to show that at No More Drama when he beat Snake with a springboard Frog Splash. So in EVERY MATCH, Low now dusts off an old high-flying move from his earlier days OR integrates a new one. His size and flexibility, of course, mean he cannnot do it Rey Mysterio-style, but definitely Chris Jericho or Edge-style.
RING ATTIRE: Low is back to wearing short trunks, now in orange with "Low" written on the back in black letters. He wears black boots and kneepads and is taping his fists with black tape. During his ring entrance he now wears a robe made of black velvet and decorated with orange feathers and rhinestone. On the back it says "The Legendary Low". Allegedly, this robe was given to ROD by Ric Flair as a present to Low.
Outside the ring, depending on what the occasion is, Low usually wears some sort of t-shirt in combination with vintage jeans and a leather jacket, or a dark custom made suit.
TYPE OF WRESTLER: All Around
PRIMARY FINISHER: The Low Standard
PRIMARY FINISHER DESCRIPTION: This hold almost always leads to the end and is rarely (if ever) broken. So if you need a finisher to counter while writing my matches, use the Profile or the All-Time Low, NOT the Standard
Low applies a Chicken Wing-Crossface a la Bob Backlund. He then puts his foot to the back of his opponent's knee so that he has to kneel down. Low pushes his opponent down onto his stomach and then pulls back, creating a combination of the Chicken Wing and a Camel Clutch.
ALTERNATE FINISHER: Several
ALTERNATE FINISHER DESCRIPTION: (See Below)
SECOND FINISHER: All-Time Low
SECOND FINISHER DESCRIPTION: Border City Stretch - like the Crippler Crossface, but instead of hooking one arm with the legs, Low puts that arm behind his own neck while applying the pressure
THIRD FINISHER: Low Profile
THIRD FINISHER DESCRIPTION: Scorpion Deathlock / Sharpshooter
FOURTH FINISHER: TAP, DAMN IT!
FOURTH FINISHER DESCRIPTION: that's the name; Low screams that whenever he applies the hold, and maybe Frank Jackson will scream along with him) - can be shortened to TDI. It's an STF.
