Mantaur

[Mongo the Destroyer]

CHARACTER NAME: Mantaur

NICKNAME(S): Mike Halac (he doesn't answer to that name anymore, only Mantaur)

HAILS FROM: The Island of Crete

HEIGHT: 6'0

WEIGHT: 401lbs

ALIGNMENT: LWO.  Mantaur is unaware of the difference between faces and heels, however when he does wear a shirt it's usually an LWO shirt.  Perhaps he thinks that it stands for "Livestock World Order" and appreciates WCW's dedication to representation or perhaps he's just a crazy person.  It could be both.  Regardless he identifies as LWO despite not being Latin at all. (Tweener for now)

THEME SONG: "Mantaur" by WWE

CHARACTER APPEARANCE: Mantaur, but he never takes off the headpiece.

FIGHTING STYLE: Ground-based brawler/power.

MOVESET:

Normal Powerbomb

Running Shoulder

Stomp (as in just stomping on a downed opponent)

Fireman's Carry

Throws, just like any throw you can think of that a fat man can do easily

Oh also clotheslines, he really likes those

SIGNATURE MOVES:

Gore (not a spear, more like a running headbutt) [the ref really doesn't like this one because the horns act as weapons, but usually he only hits his opponents with his head- good aim for a crazy person]

Running Powerbomb

Sit-Out Powerbomb

Ultimate Splash (he goes for a running big splash on a downed opponent, but trips before it's completed...it's still a splash, just not the intended splash)

FINISHERS:

Stampede (Corner Splash)

Mantaur-Sault (Coffin Drop) [it's a failed moonsault]

SHORT BIO:I bet you thought "Mantaur" Mike Halac was dead didn't you?  He's not, I looked him up on Wikipedia just to make sure.  After a lackluster career in wrestling, the former Mantaur retreated into retirement and obscurity.  Somehow though he has resurfaced in WCW, though he's a different man than the fat guy wrestling fans once mocked.  He knows what it's like to live on the streets now- or maybe on a farm- actually we're not sure where he came from because when asked about anything all he says is "Mantaur."  Gone is the boastful fighter of yore, what is left now is only Mantaur.  No discernible hopes, dreams, ambitions- nobody understands because, again, he only seems to say his name over and over at varying volumes and intonations.  Perhaps he thinks he's communicating.  On the other hand, Mantaur seems to have found a new lease on life, invigorated by embracing the gimmick that earned him a spot in WrestleCrap's Hall of Fame.  For a man who should be 55 he seems as healthy as he ever was (not that it's a major improvement because....well...400lbs, but still).  Perhaps that's because Mantaurs know not what age is, they know only things Mantaurs know- which, I cannot stress this enough, Mantaur is unable to properly communicate because he won't say anything beyond his name.  No longer is he a human pretending to be a Mantaur.  Now he is a Mantaur pretending to be a Mantaur.  Mike Halac as you knew him is dead.  Long live Mantaur.

.....Or he's just some crazy person who's assumed the persona.  We can't tell because he won't take off the friggin headpiece.
