ETHNICITY: White (Non-Hispanic)
HEIGHT: 6'2"
WEIGHT: 225 lbs.
DATE OF BIRTH: 09/20/1980
HOMETOWN: Toronto, ON

ENTRANCE MUSIC: "Thunderstruck" by ACDC
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: The opening guitar of "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC starts to play and the fans start to chant "Na Na-Na Na Na-Na Na Na!" over and over with the all-to-familiar guitar chords. The lights in the arena flash on and off for a few seconds before staying off. On the first "Thunder" the lights starts flashing on and off again. On the second "Thunder" Terry comes out onto the stage with a Canadian flag in his hands, the crowd now cheering loudly, stopping just before the ramp.
Terry waves the flag in big swoops from side to side a few times before resting it on his shoulder and walking down the ramp. Terry slaps hands on the way down and stops in the middle of the ramp, dropping down to his knees. Terry holds his flag in the air with one arm as red and white pyros blast in rapid succession at the top of the ramp from side to side a few times over.
Terry then jumps to his feet and dashes down the rest of the way to the ring. He then slides in under the bottom ropes, turning to his back and then kipping up to his feet in one fluid motion as he slides into the middle of the ring, red and white pyros going off on each ring post as he does. He then shows off his flag one more time to the crowd before placing it on the outside by his corner.
DESCRIPTION: Terry is a cocky man from Toronto who has been idolizing wrestling his whole life. He is now very lean and muscular after his time away from the AWA. Terry is Caucasian and his eyes are brown. Terry used to have long, brown hair, but, since his return, he has sported a short haircut that is gelled in front to stick straight out for an inch. He has also grown a finely cut beard (like HBK's).
Type of Wrestler: All Around (Submissions/High Flying/Technical/Striking). Terry was originally a High Flying and Technical wrestler, but after his recent foray into MMA and his time spent around the world honing his wrestling skills, Terry has become an all around force. His original style is still prominent, but it is now supported by a very strong striking and submissive style. Terry is also constantly working on mastering as many submissions as he can, as is seen with his fourth finisher, Caught in The Storm. Above all else, one of Terry's greatest strengths is his quickness.
Match Writer's Note: Terry should be winning by submission most of the time now.
RING ATTIRE:
In-Ring Attire: Terry wears black spandex with "You've been" written down the side of his left leg and "Thunderstruck" written down the side of his right in gold. He has no shirt and wears tight, black boots with lightning bolts down each side.
Out of Ring Attire: Terry usually wears jeans and a customized black muscle shirt. Designs of this muscle shirt include:
Thunder Strike Design: "Thunder CAN strike twice!" written in gold on the back and a lightning bolt streaking across the front.
Electrifying Design: "Terry 'The Storm' James" written in gold on the front and "High-Flying and Electrifying!" written in gold on the back with small lightning bolts streaking below.
Thunder and Lightning Design: "You May Hear The Thunder..." written in gold on the front and "...But You Can't Stop The Lightning!" written in gold on the back.
Caught in The Storm Design: "Tap out. Choke out. Break your bones." written in red and white spiky letters on the front and "Those are your options when you get Caught in the Storm." written in red and white spiky letters on the back.
TYPE OF WRESTLER: All Around
PRIMARY FINISHER: Lightning
PRIMARY FINISHER DESCRIPTION: Terry catches his opponent in a standing arm triangle and very quickly and explosively twists him to the mat face-first in a modified inverted Russian leg sweep (Downward Spiral), keeping the opponent in a tight arm triangle submission and locking his legs around their body to keep their legs trapped. (The end position has Terry supporting himself on his side, so he is not in a direct pinning predicament.) (NOTE: This is rarely, if ever, broken! If any submissions are to be broken, preferably use the ones not listed as finisher, but for sure don't use this one.)
ALTERNATE FINISHER: Several
ALTERNATE FINISHER DESCRIPTION:
SECOND FINISHER: Thunder Strike
SECOND FINISHER DESCRIPTION: Super Kick. This can and will be hit out of pretty much anywhere.
THIRD FINISHER: Thunder Bolt
THIRD FINISHER DESCRIPTION: A Sharpshooter with an Ankle Lock applied on the free leg under Terry's arm.
FOURTH FINISHER: Caught in The Storm
