Wrestler’s Name: Roscoe Law
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 252 lbs.
Hometown: Green Bay, WI
Ring Attire: Roscoe has short salt & pepper hair and sports a short salt & pepper beard. He wears long black tights with a fat red stripe down each side. His boots are black with “LAW” printed in red on them.
Entrance Music: “I Fought the Law” by The Clash
Entrance Description: Pyro triggers the entrance and “LAW” in red on a black screen as classic Roscoe Law clips play throughout the entrance. Pyro shoots from the floor as Roscoe stands at the top of the stage.
History: Roscoe Law is originally from Marshfield, WI and went to college at the University of Wisconsin where he became a 4-time NCAA wrestling champion. After graduation in the late eighties, he started his professional career with the Computer Wrestling Federation (Marion, IL) where he found success as a singles wrestler, holding a number of titles. He was arguably one of the most successful wrestler/managers of that time, leading The Swashbucklers to the CWF World Tag Team Titles at Megamania IV in 1990. He was also known as a journeyman wrestler, working for a number of organizations, including the UWA, the GWF (Pennsylvania), the AWF and the legendary IWA (Willowick, OH). But it would be at Computer Championship Wrestling (Piqua, OH) where he would find his greatest success, winning the CCW World Heavyweight Championship. He managed his former client Wasp Man to gold in the old AWF (now Hardkore World) and led the stable, Aye Phelta Thi. The strain of the heavy schedule would finally be too much for Law and he stopped wrestling and managing altogether in the early nineties.
In September of 2006, he was approached by Hardkore World about coming out of retirement. He agreed and started wrestling for them in late 2006. He also arrived in Shootclub (SWA) to manage Wasp Man and The Happy Faces and to reform Aye Phelta Thi there, as well as in HKW. After staying with HKW for a few years he once again retired. In 2024, Roscoe again returned to Hardkore World.

Moves
Main style of wrestling: Roscoe takes an aggressive, low-risk attack to his opponents. Part of this is performing moves in sets of two in immediate succession, in order to inflict more damage at once and not to let the opponent get an offense in. There is a list of “combo moves” that Roscoe will use listed later on.
Finishers
Normal
-The Death Sentence – With Roscoe and the opponent on opposite sides of the ring ropes (Roscoe outside the ring on the apron and the opponent in the ring), Roscoe will give the opponent a cutter on the top rope. Roscoe drops to the arena floor, snapping the opponent forward and face-first to the mat. Roscoe will immediately re-enter the ring and go for a cradle pin.
-Plug This! -- Roscoe butterflies the opponent, lifts them up and gives them a sitout piledriver. Can be followed up by a sitting pin attempt.
-The Lawbreaker –Brainbuster off the top rope
-The Drill Bit – Corkscrew Brainbuster off the top rope
-The Badger Spike – Roscoe will get the opponent in a reverse DDT headlock. Instead of a DDT he will then lift the opponent up, bounce him off the top rope and get him vertical, then immediately drop him into a brainbuster.
Submission
-The Pretz-Hell—Opponent is in a sharpshooter and Roscoe leans back and get an arm under opponent’s chin for more leverage.
-Leveraged Ankle Lock—Applies the ankle lock normally, then turns his body around to apply more pressure on the ankle and knee, using his legs to force the opponent in place and to prevent the opponent from turning over to escape the hold.

Submission-style holds:

Damascus lock (The wrestler forces the opponent to the ground and opens up the legs of the opponent, stepping in with both legs. The wrestler then wraps his legs around the head of the opponent and crosses the opponent's legs, applying pressure on them with his hands. The wrestler next turns 180 degrees and leans back, compressing the spine. This hold applies pressure on the temples, the calves, and compresses the spine.)
Scissored armbar
Scorpion Deathlock
straightjacket
surfboard
Rivera cloverleaf (This variation of the cloverleaf sees the wrestler hook the legs like a cloverleaf but weaves his hands through to clasp his other hand and also hooks the ankle sticking out with his leg (which ever one it is) into his kneepit.)
Tonga death grip
Figure-four leglock
Leg slicer
Ankle lock
Americana (ude-garami )
Crossface chicken wing
Forced Sleeper - Sleeper with kick to back of opponent’s knees to get him to kneel (to get more leverage and control and less chance of escape)
Special moves which may need description:
1) Spike Atomic Drop – Roscoe performs the atomic drop on his opponent but instead of letting him lunge forward after impact, Roscoe holds opponent on his knee to keep pressure on the tailbone and not to let the opponent walk it off.
2) Reverse Spike Atomic Drop – same only opponent faces toward Roscoe. **Not used in matches against opponents with protective cups. (for example, Kilroy Evans)**
3) Nutbuster Suplex – a belly-to-belly suplex on the opponent with Roscoe’s knee driven into opponent’s groin as they hit the mat.
4) Reverse Slingshot Powerbomb—Gets the opponent up for a powerbomb, brings him down on the top rope, back up and over so they land face first on the mat behind him.
Combo Moves (these are done in rapid succession to opponent):
1) Spike Atomic Drop immediately followed by a superkick to the back of the head
2) Rev. Spike Atomic Drop immediately followed by superkick to face
3) Suplex immediately followed by a handstand and knee to the throat
4) Russian leg sweep immediately followed by an elbow drop to the throat
5) Powerbomb immediately followed by a legdrop to the crotch
6) With opponent locked in a sleeper for 10 to 20 seconds, Roscoe will give him a backcracker.
7) Pick up opponent and drop their neck on the top rope, followed by an immediate reverse DDT.
Double Team Moves:
--Spike Lawbreaker -- Roscoe sits the opponent on the top turnbuckle while Roscoe’s partner climbs the post from behind. As Roscoe lifts the opponent into a brainbuster, Roscoe’s partner grabs on to the opponent as he goes down, making it a spike brainbuster off the top rope.
--Flat Out -- Roscoe gets the opponent up for the superplex, Roscoe’s partner stands on the same top turnbuckle, jumps off and hits opponent with a flying body press in mid-air as Roscoe lets go of the opponent. Roscoe’s partner makes the pin as Roscoe backflips and lands on his feet and guards against a pin breakup attempt.
-- Roscoe’s partner gets the opponent in the electric chair as Roscoe gets on the top turnbuckle and gives the opponent a cutter to the mat.
--Two-Man Slam - One takes the arms, the other takes the legs and throw opponent in the air and slam them to the mat, either on his back or face first as the situation presents itself.
--With the opponent prone on the mat and one holding their legs apart, the other comes off the top rope with a legdrop to the opponent's crotch.
--As one gets the opponent up for the superplex, Roscoe stands on the same top turnbuckle, jumps off and hits opponent with a flying body press in mid-air as the first lets go of the opponent.
-- Both Roscoe and the other come off the ropes and simultaneously deliver a double axehandle to the victim.
