WRESTLER APPLICATION
Birth Name: Carlton Zacardi Gluck
Ring Name: Carlton Gluck
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 308 lbs
Birth Place: 8 May 1997 (27) a rural community somewhere near Picayune, MS
Billed From: The Mudflats of Mississippi
Alignment: Face
Stable: The Foundation
Pro Debut: 14/03/2020
GIMMICK SUMMARY
Carlton Gluck is a highly skilled freestyle wrestler who happens to be a redneck. Or a redneck who happens to be a highly skilled freestyle wrestler. Compared to his brother Chapps he's the normal one. His favorite things besides wrestling are cooking and eating, and so despite an intense workout regime he struggles with his weight. Actually he doesn't struggle with it, he eats what he wants when he wants.
HISTORY
Carlton is the oldest of the Gluck siblings, one year older than middle sister Cherie and three years older than youngest brother Chapps. His entire extended family has a long tradition of being involved in amateur wrestling. Carlton was a state champion in the 125kg weight class, received a full scholarship to the University of Tennessee on his wrestling, and narrowly missed making the 2020 Olympic team.
However, since he wasn't quite good enough for the Olympics, there aren't many ways to make money doing amateur wrestling in the USA, and he was already a redneck and predisposed to liking pro wrestling anyhow, he started wrestling in a local promotion based out of New Orleans Louisiana.
The Brothers Gluck were discovered by Daeriq Damien around this time. Damien had been working with wrestling superstar and promoter Jeff Andrews, who was at the time trying desperately to keep his Wheeling WV promotion Andrews*Promotions open despite COVID. He didn't succeed and A*P closed well before the Glucks were ready to debut, so Damien continued to supervise their careers while they honed their skills on the smaller indies.
In 2023, Damien was also managing Ronnie Long in XHF promotion WUK. Long had just turned heel and Damien brought The Glucks in as backup. However, to the surprise of many (including the Glucks themselves), Carlton was a natural face and soon turned.
After a year and a half in WUK, Jeff Andrews decided that the Brothers Gluck's progression had stalled out, and personally stepped in to withdraw them from WUK and sent them to JROK. Damien, not being busy with anything else, followed them as a manager.
IN WRESTLING
Super Finishing Move:
- Carlton is only a few years into his wrestling career and hasn't yet debuted a super finisher.
Finishing Moves
- Gluckbuster - Sheer drop brainbuster/Brainbuster DDT
- Bigger Splash - Top rope splash
Signature Moves
- Country Strong Gluckplex - Jeff Cobb's Athleticplex
- Gutwrench powerbomb (often used as the setup for the Bigger Splash)
- Running squash to opponent in corner
- Back mount rear naked choke (also submission finisher when needed)
- Release german Gluckplex across the top rope (often followed by lifting them off the rope straight into the gutwrench powerbomb)
Basic Moves:
0.5. The Glucks do not know what suplexes are. They use Gluckplexes. A Gluckplex is just like a suplex only with a cooler name.
1. Quick go-behind and rear single leg takedown
2. Assorted amatuer wrestling matwork. You know.
3. Assorted german Gluckplexes
4. Assorted belly to belly Gluckplexes

10. Headbutt
Wrestling Style
- Technically skilled powerhouse, superheavyweight depending on opponent's size
Entrance Theme
- "The South is Rising" - Sign of the Southern Cross
IN RING APPEARANCE
Carlton Gluck is built like a well padded tank. Of his 310ish lbs, about 280 of it is solid muscle and the rest of it is mostly formerly tamales. His head is shiny bald, but the rest of him is hirsuite. He has a magnificent beard that hangs to his chest, darkest brown with some premature grey, that wouldn't look out of place on a Tolkien dwarf.
To wrestle he wears a pair of jorts or dark khakis over a wrestling singlet (usually navy blue) along with black wrestling boots and black grappling gloves.
CHAMPIONSHIPS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
None yet
OUT OF CHARACTER
CHARACTER REP: Think of the Glucks as Redneck Steiner Bros with switched personalities. Carlton also draws from early 90s NJPW/AJPW gaijin like Gary Albright, Dr. Death and Terry Gordy.
TWITTER: Neither Carlton nor his handler use Twitter
HANDLER NAME: Old Line Jeff, or just Jeff
HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ABOUT US? Years ago someone tried to recruit me for AWF, that's how I found out about the XHF.
