The Young Prince of Catch Wrestling, The Wrestling Artist.
BILLED FROM:
Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England

February 12th, 1996 (age 23).
HEIGHT:
6 ft 0 in (1.83 m).
WEIGHT:
187 lb (85 kg).
WRESTLER DETAILS
WRESTLING STYLE:
Catch wrestling with kick-boxing elements.
Finnegan Wakefield is journalistically described as a technical wrestling mastermind. His wrestling style is predominate on combining takedowns, counters, applications and transitions to make for beautiful submission sequences. He isn't the kind of wrestler to be easily accused of slowing down a match by taking the critically despised rest hold, as he gives his submission holds layer momentum by giving them little intricacies like extra pressure on individual segments of a limb and an emphasis on arches and sporadic cranks, an art in which most wrestlers don't pay attention to. His style often draws comparisons to various martial art disciplines more than they do towards pro-wrestling, however, his style has been accepted by audiences to separate him from the run of the mill pro-wrestler. He is heavily strategic, almost treating every match like a game of chess, planning out scenarios and encounters to help his offensive and defensive match mindset. He describes himself more of an artist than anything else, saying he plans his motions similar to how an artist would use his paintbrush on a canvas.
With his legs being his longest limbs, Wakefield has implemented a heavy kicked base striking offence, as well as a psychological advantage of keeping his opponents at a distance. With a kickboxing background, his striking game is not one to be taken lightly as he doesn't tend to pull kicks often, only doing so if at risk of hurting a friend. He is more than capable of forcing an opponent to tap out or leave him knocked out. His mental capacity to lure opponents into a vulnerable situation is one of his deadliest assets, forcing them to keep a distance or lure them into a strike or submission hold, knowing how to push your buttons to throw a strike at him in anger, more often than not sloppier than intended, only to spring his trap. He is calm under pressure, has the knowledge to slip out of a large variety of wrestling holds.
His greatest weapon, however, is his undying conviction and resolve. He will hold out in dire situations, able to reach another gear should he be able to with the last ounce of strength he has left.
ENTRANCE THEME:
"Morning Glory" by Oasis
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
The distorted opening cords of "Morning Glory" by Oasis begins to play as Finnegan emerges, signature smirk on his face as he stands on the stage with his hands behind his back before popping his collar and walking down the ramp. He walks with a confident and care-free attitude, extending his hands for fans to touch. As he gets to ringside, climbs the steps, wipes his feet on the apron and mounts the second turnbuckle and the top turnbuckle and points to the sky. He proceeds to jump into the ring and walks to the middle with a finger to the sky. He backs off to his corner, doing wrist exercises. He is focused and ready.
ALIGNMENT:
Face.
GIMMICK:
Finnegan Wakefield is the youngest of three siblings, all three being professional wrestlers. His older sister Faye being an incredibly popular female wrestling internationally and his older brother Maxwell being a key figurehead in the England based wrestling promotion Kings Road Pro-Wrestling. Finnegan not wanting to be in their shadow signed a year-long contract in the United States as a form of learning excursion so he could become a more travelled wrestler. On December 2017, he agreed to a multi-year extension after his contract one expired.
Finnegan entered the American wrestling scene very socially awkward and shy towards his fellow locker room associates. His nature became a very handy weapon for his initial months with the company, as many wouldn't expect the ring work that Finnegan possessed. Finnegan is a naturally gifted technical wrestler with an impressive submission and striking arsenal, many considering him a bit of a genius in the field. He would slowly begin to evolve, coming out of his shell more and mastering his craft in the ring. What was once the timid natured Finnegan Wakefield has grown into a confident and capable master of the catch wrestling style. He is still just as respectful and otherwise polite to anyone he comes into contact with unless provoked to treat them otherwise, keeping his ego in shackles as his claims are backed up by his actions. His work ethic is second to none, always adapting and improving as he proves his worth as an asset to the industry.
He has achieved some of his long-term goals in a rather short period of time, but there is always more to achieve in a land of vast opportunity, and Finnegan seeks to achieve them all in due time. Driven by his determination, convictions and disciplines, Finnegan Wakefield has all the potential in the world to become one of the very best technical wrestler of all-time.
Returning to wrestling as the prodigal son, his new motives are unclear. Perhaps to redeem himself in the eyes of the fans that lost hope in him once he had to step away. Perhaps reclaim his never-lost OWA World Championship. Only time will tell.
