• Entrance Description •
Lights begin to strobe with the power chords of FFDP’s cover of “Momma Said Knock You Out{ begin. ‘The Hollywood Butcher’ steps through the curtain dressed in black MMA style trunks and black shooter boots with a t-shirt that reads Uber Heel in purple. Slowly he walks towards the ring ignoring the fans that at one time cheered him enthusiastically in what seems so long ago
Once he reaches the ring he climbs the stairs and wipes his feet on the apron in a show of respect for the sanctity of the squared circle. Stepping between the top and middle ropes he immediately goes to his corner and awaits the start of the match.
• Biography •
The illegitimate son of journeyman wrestler and promoter named Jimmy Knight and a cocktail waitress. Nicky grew up in the Chicago projects raised by his crack addict mother and a series of abusive “uncles” and “new daddies.” Until finally at the age of 14 Nicky ran away from home.
Finally landing in LA, Nicky lived on the streets, squatting in empty buildings and picking pockets to buy food. That is until by a stroke of luck Nicky met semi-retired professional wrestler Jerry Foster. Foster put a roof over Nicky’s head, made sure he went to school, and most importantly taught the young man the Knight family business.
Nicky first broke into the business in Mexico as El Luchador Gran Blanco. Two years later Nicky unmasked and began a journey that would take him all over the world. “The Hollywood Butcher” would win titles in several respected companies and become a staple on the Best Wrestler in The World list put out by the dirtsheets.
Then under the strain of a failing marriage, heavy drinking, and too much time on the road Nick suffered a major nervous breakdown. It occurred at a Taco Bell in Melbourne, FL when he attacked the cashier with a plastic spark because all of the sour cream on his Burrito Supreme was on one end.
Somehow able to convince the judge that his client was unfit to stand trial Nick’s younger brother, L. Samuel Crosse, got him sentenced to The Gator Island Hospital for the Criminally Insane. After just over a year on The Island, where he took part in several controversial procedures, Nick has been released into the care of world renowned Psychiatrist Dr. Phil Goode.
Fearing that his patient would struggle to live under the strict rules of society Dr. Goode agreed to allow him to return to the nut farm that is professional wrestler. After working several Indy shows to get back into ring shape Nick signed a contract with the reopening New Championship Wrestling.
• Fighting Style •
Nicky draws his style from a number of places. Having grown up on the streets he is never afraid to throw hands and have a good old fashioned brawl. Years spent working in Japan and training in MMA gyms has made him an even more dangerous striker.
Classically trained in American strong style Nicky has a solid background in technical wrestling. A background that he has supplemented by training in Judo giving him improved mat wrestling technique and a repertoire of throws second to none. It is also from Judo that he takes his katahajime finisher known as the LA LA Land.
The most dangerous part of Nicky Nightmares fighting style is his willingness to bleed, and the nearly sadistic pleasure he receives from inflicting pain. A veteran of numerous hardcore and death matches he has never shied away from the use of any weapons, especially his go to barbed wire wrapped 2x4.
Strengths: A crafty veteran that knows all of the shortcuts.
A high pain tolerance.
Weaknesses:Years of wear and tear in the ring has slowed him down a bit.
Scar tissue on forehead is easily busted open (think Ric Flair)
Surgically repaired right knee
