VITAL STATISTICS
RING NAME: Solomon Graham
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6’2”/235 lbs
HOMETOWN: Wrestling out of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
AGE: 28
ALIGNMENT: Heel
GIMMICK: A man who hates what he’s been made to be by the Excelsior Wrestling Society and is angry that EWS did that to him and his repuatation. He decided to change that by using his hate as a weapon and going back to his family’s routes in the business as legit shooters.
PICBASE: Pete Corvus
APPEARANCE: His attire is similar to that of Dan Severn’s, but slightly different. I.E., his trunks and boots are blue, he wears a grey t-shirt which is wet around the upper chest/collar area and he wears white hockey tape around his wrists and right fist. He tapes up his right wrist and hand on the way to the ring as a means of giving off a badass vibe.

BIOGRAPHY
He is the son of Canadian wrestling legend, “Late Night” Allen Graham, as well as grandson of Canadian-American wrestling icon, Lyle Graham, Sr. He trained alongside his siblings and cousins. He graduated at age 20 and went on to become a staple of Canadian wrestling, much like his father and grandfather before him. He soon branched out, becoming well known in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but never anywhere else. While he hasn’t won many championships, he has a reputation of brutality in the ring, often pushing his opponent to the absolute limit before either beating them or realizing he can’t and accepting his fate. He is in EWS because of his uncle, Jamie Zero, who recommended him to management. They saw the excellent qualities in him, signed him to a contract… and then properly wasted his talent by making him a joke. He has been royally pissed off ever since those days and longs to make sure the wrestling world knows how great he truly is and thus, he has made the decision to branch out a bit more and wrestle in as many companies as he can. He even helped to start his own company, the Fullmetal Wrestling Alliance. He's no longer the owner of it, though, but he did used to be the Head Of Talent relations. He comes to the AWF and the XHF as a whole after being incredibly disappointed when facing GCW Wrestler, Nightshade, in Trinity Wrestling and defeating him easily. In short? He wants to see what the XHF's REALLY made of instead of what he's faced first hand so far.
QUOTES & CATCHPHRASES
“You just got knocked the FUCK out!”
“I'm in (insert wrestler name or nickname here) land and IT'S THE WORST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!!" (for context, the first time he ever said this was when some asshole was getting in his face and giving him shit. This asshole used the whole "Off in La La Land" cliche because Graham was deliberately ignoring his assholery)
“Funny don’t draw money, asshole!”
“Go back to Wrestling School, ya troglodyte!”
“Go make me a sandwich, bitch!” (while this one sounds like it might be geared towards women, it really is gender non-specific and all inclusive when it comes from Graham)
“I’m Solomon Graham and that’s my opinion.” -- This one is the most consistent and most well known of his phrases.
MOVESET, STYLE & ENTRANCE
FINISHERS:
- Low Blow
SIGNATURES:
- Graham Family Armbreaker (A move that was once banned all across Canada - Essentially, it is a Fujiwara Armbar where Graham brings the arm back in a Hammerlock position and wrenches it in, bringing his own arm between the opponent’s arm and back, bringing it back up and attempting to break the shoulder)
-Punch (Is always told to open the fist)
-Kick
-Armbar
-Legbar (Clutches opponents’ leg and attempts to bend it in a way where the bone pops)
-Wastelock
-Full Nelson

-Eye Rake
-Back Rake
-Hair Pull (Will sometimes also punch his opponent while pulling their hair, given they’re facing the right way and are in the right position)
-Headlock
-Chinlock
-Hammerlock
-Bear Hug Clutch (Doesn’t actually do the Bear Hug as he never lifts his opponent off the ground in an attempt to make them pass out, but instead it’s more in an attempt to take them to the ground. He may sometimes lift them over his head, but it’s usually an attempt to slam them down onto the mat hard)
-Any kind of chop (though his chop of choice is a standard chop with the opponent propped up in the corner)
-After the chop, he’ll usually follow through and land a back elbow for his opponent’s troubles
-Stiff Daniel Bryan-esque kicks to the chest of an opponent who’s down on their knees
-Knee Strike to the head or chest
-Flatliner w/DDT Head Cradle (adapted from his best friend Eddie Evans)

"Move" - Thousand Foot Krutch
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
“Move” by Thousand Foot Krutch hits
“Look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice
Tell all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed”
After the intro, out from the curtain comes Solomon Graham, to a chorus of boos raining down on him from the capacity crowd. We see that Solomon has a roll of white hockey tape in his left hand. He puts his hands on his hips before sighing and shaking his head at the booing. He then proceeds to take a strip of tape from the roll and wrap his right wrist up in tape. After wrapping it in about five layers of tape, he then turns it diagonally and proceeds to also wrap his knuckles in tape as well, all the while slowly and methodically walking towards the ring. He then bites the tape in two, wrapping the strip still connected to the roll back on and wrapping the strip attached to him around the knuckle, before driving his right hand directly into his open left hand and walking to the ring, on the way stopping to taunt the fans and give them shit. He climbs the ring apron and wipes his feet on the mat. He then steps into the ring, gets into his corner and waits for his opponent.
