2021-2022 COMPETITORS

ADA PIERCE
Competitor Name: Ada Pierce
Pic Base: Alanah Pearce
Past Achievements: x1 Superstar of the Week, x2 Match of the Week
Alignment: Face
Any history with other partcipants: Denise DiMarco (Faced off once on First Class in a short rivalry that revealed Ada’s ability to engage in mind games with her opponents). Curtis (Influenced Ada’s interest in IIW, big fan of his energy and intensity)

Summary of character's story: Ada Pierce grew up in the arcades, influenced greatly by fighting games. After years of dealing with bullies who shunned her for her interests, Ada snapped when she couldn’t properly defend her best friend, Vickie Burke, from a group of bullies who’d picked on her. Fortunately, it was on that very night that she was properly introduced to Vickie’s father, a Karate Sensei, who took her in as his pupil. As the years went by, Ada became his prized student, putting his little dojo on the map. Eventually, Ada decided to sign with IIW, hoping to test her abilities as a Karateka in the world of professional wrestling and become a real-life version of fighting game characters she grew up idolizing. Unfortunately, Ada quickly learned that pro wrestling is a no holds barred, anything goes-type environment when she became a victim of several attacks by other competitors who used her to either make a name for themselves or send a message to the locker room. Vowing to never regress to the harmless girl she used to be, Ada snapped again, turning up the intensity and overcoming her inner demons as she waged a war against those who wronged her. She successfully defeated Jamie Riott on First Class’ first ever PPV, Malevolence, and is now pursuing the woman that nearly ended her career: Mercedes-Jane Debonair.

Finisher w/ description:

1) K.O.! - Heel Kick - Ada turns her back to her opponent before locking onto her target and throwing out the spinning heel kick. Sometimes preceded by a jab/roundhouse kick combo but can be thrown out without warning.

2) Fifty-Fifty - Ada fakes a low kick before nearly decapitating her opponent with a spinning Skull Kick. In order to create a real-life fifty-fifty scenario, Ada may follow up on her low kick to set up the K.O.! finisher, forcing her opponents who study her matches to predict what she may do. Guard low and get your head kicked in or guard high in anticipation of the Skull Kick and get taken down for the K.O.!. There’s a 50/50 chance of survival.

Signititure w/ description:

1) Ten Hit String - Ada approaches her stunned opponent and starts teeing off with jumping side kicks, alternating between her left and right legs ten times. If the opponent is left open, Ada concludes the string with the K.O.! finisher.

2) Winged Karateka - Ada runs full speed towards her opponent and dropkicks them against the corner. Usually follows up by running to the opposite corner and before running back to land another dropkick to her seated opponent.

3) Dorya! - Ada flies up and lands a jumping uppercut, usually done to start a comeback when she’s on her knees.

10 wrestling moves: 1. Straight Jab 2. Lunging Jab 3. Side Jab 4. Lunging Kick 5. Side Kick 6. Roundhouse Kick 7. Flying Knee 8. Superwoman Punch 9. Baseball Slide 10. Forearm Combo

Please write an entrance for your character: The intro cut version of Battle Cry by Little V blasts through the PA system, bringing the fans to their feet as the lights go out in the arena. The song builds and builds, and as Little V’s first line echoes through the arena, a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp, revealing Ada Pierce standing, solid as a rock, with her head bowed down. With the fans cheering and freezing, Ada stands still, her eyes closed, taking in every single cheer from the crowd. It’s when the chorus begins when Ada raises her head, letting out all of her energy and adrenaline with a fiery battle cry before making her way down the ramp with purpose as the spotlight follows her to the ring. As her long blonde hair flows with the wind, Ada takes her time when she reaches the halfway point of the ramp, taking the opportunity to high-five and fist bump several fans. Donning a pair of black foot guards, her hands wrapped in white tape, Ada has seemingly slightly adjusted her ring-gear due to the freezing cold atmosphere of the Ice Crown Tournament. And while it may not have been wise to do so, Ada maintains her white karate gi, a symbol of her beginnings and fighting principles.No stranger to training in the freezing cold and burning heat, Ada doesn’t sweat the atmosphere in the arena. With a motivated and passionate expression on her face, the Karateka wastes no time climbing up to the apron before entering the ring. Pierce has no more time to waste. She’s here to leave everything she’s got in the ring. Awaiting her opponent, Ada sits cross-legged in the middle of the ring as the fans cheer her on.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? Upon signing with the IIW, Ada initially expected to be offered a choice between Mayhem and First Class, but was told that the male and female rosters were separated. Ada didn’t mind this structure, taking on whatever challenge she was presented with. However, when the Ice Crown tournament was announced, Pierce was quick to register her name during the heat of her rivalry with The Coven. With zero tolerance for bullies and evil-doers who care little for their opponents, Ada saw the tournament as an opportunity to stay ready for whatever challenges 2022 may present in the world of First Class. But most importantly, it’s an opportunity for the Karateka to enforce her beliefs and principles across the IIW’s male and female divisions to prove that her way is the correct one in a bid to emerge as the company’s toughest warrior.




Competitor Name: "Diamond" Denise DiMarco
Pic Base: Eva Marie
Past Achievements: N/A
Alignment: Heel-leaning
tweener
Any history with other partcipants: Nothing of note, other than a short stint and highly contested match with Ada Pierce.

Summary of character's story: Denise didn't exactly have to come up in the business the hard way. Signed primarily for her social media following (6 million on Instagram alone), what she lacks in skill, she makes up in her ability to drum up a good segment and get a loud reaction from the crowd. Brand deals, commercials, celebrity parties... Denise is used to living lavish and being treated like royalty. According to her, being in the IIW is the perfect content for her YouTube channel (and makes that obvious with her filming vlogs during matches). Usually never intentionally malicious, her delusions of grandeur often cause her to come off that way regardless.

Please write an entrance for your character: “Boss It” by def rebel blares throughout the arena and out comes Denise DiMarco and Tali Zora from the back. To counter the cold winds, the pompous duo wear custom made fur coats, and turn around to point at the “Face of IIW” logo printed on the back in pink letters. They turn back around and strut down the ramp, pointing and blowing kisses to the crowd. Tali Zora gets up onto the apron and sits on the middle rope to make it easier for Denise Dimarco to get inside of the ring herself. Once inside of the ring, Denise poses and flaunts, removing her long fur coat to reveal her special full body attire for the tournament, specially designed by Gucci to keep her warm during her match.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? Fame, greed, and narcissism.

Summary of character's story: Nova had a relatively normally childhood, growing up in a happy family. She always enjoyed watching wrestling with her father and older brother, even though they laughed at her desire to pursue the career thinking it was just a passing passion. It wasnt. As soon as she was able, she hunted down a trainer and began her journey. The passing of her father set her back a little, putting her in a dark headspace, but she rallied... even more determined to make it. She studied many feds before making her decision to sign up to the IIW, looking to make a name for herself. Now, shes on a roll and wants to be the best.

Nova struts out to the top of the ramp and strikes a pose, one hip jutted out, fist high in the air. She is wrapped up in a fluffy teal robe. Pink and teal pyros shoot off. She tosses off the robe, to reveal her new insulated tights, and long sleeve top, holographic and glittering under the lights. She flashes a grin at the crowd before making her way down the ramp, hips swaying. She hops up onto the ring apron, leaning back on the ropes and somersaulting backwards over them. She scampers over to the turnbuckle, posing once more before hopping down, bouncing lightly as she waits for the bell.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? Just another step up in wanting to show shes a legend in the making.

Marshall takes in the cheers of the crowd and mouths the words “thank you” and then points at the fands around the arena before pointing directly at the ring. Marshall marches to the ring, high fiving fans, shaking hands, and kissing babies. Once he makes it to the ring, Marshall climbs the steps and steps into the ring where he grabs his shirt and rips it off and throws it into the crowd where fans fight for it like desperate bridesmaids fight for the bouquet at a wedding.

Alignment: Heel
Any history with other partcipants: Capello has a new ally in Robin Vengeance having recruited her into a once thought extinct organization The Left Hand

Summary of character's story: Alessia's story is cloudy to most, other than things she's done in First Class and her former work on the Greek Olympic team. What is known is that she's a member of The Left Hand apparently high enough to go about recruiting others to the holy cause.

Competitor Name: Willhelm Screem
Pic Base: Michael Eklund
Past Achievements: NA
Alignment: Face
Any history with other partcipants: See below.

Summary of character's story: Wilhelm is a monster hunter. Literally. Hard to believe? Across the 9 realms, Wilhelm claims to have pursued, fought and killed, countless monsters typically studied in undergrad folklore and mythology classes, or by cryptozoologists. His arrival in the tournament is, at best, a bit spotty. An individual claiming to represent him signed his name on the dotted line for this tournament. When Wilhelm arrived for his first medical exam, examiners found him to be in tip-top physical condition, though appearing in thick animal furs and dishevelled as though homeless – they were further concerned about his mental state after hearing him speak nonchalantly about killing a “skinwalker” the day prior. In many ways, Wilhelm gives off the air of a man out of a different time and place, a proverbial fish out of water. When the trainers set him into a gym to spar, he looked very out of place ad uncertain, but once a sparring match started, it became clear this man knew how to fight. Hardy and hailing from northern climes, Wilhelm claims to be tracking a monster. Could that monster be hiding in plain sight in the tournament? Not your typical fighter, Wilhelm doesn’t have named moves. His strangeness got him through the door, and his versatility, toughness and obvious skill kept his name on the list of competitors.

Finisher w/ description: Anything that puts his opponent down permanently, though he’s not always the most graceful.

Signititure w/ description: See above.

10 wrestling moves w/ description for lesser knowns: Wilhelm can use any move you can think of, though his particular strengths are striking, grappling and submissions. He’s a bareknuckle boxer. His ground game is stellar, and his strikes range from deadly to strategic.
Please note, his versatility means he can do high kicks, drop kicks, ddts, superman punches, body slams, etc, but he’s not formally trained in these moves, so there’s no art to it. More brutal, and streetfighter-y than showboater.

Please write an entrance for your character: “Determined” by Mudvayne starts in. Wilhelm emerges from the back clad in a heavy fur armor-sort of top and woollen pants. His feet and fists are taped, and he certainly looks focused on his way down the ramp, save for it’s like the music was picked by someone else, and the noise makes him cover his ears on his way to the ring. Irked, or annoyed by the crowd, the expression in his eyes is more like a caged animal, than a performer.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? If he gains more ring experience, this will decrease a bit the more accustomed to the crowd, the sights and the sounds he will become.

Competitor Name: Brandon Hendrix
Pic Base: Drew McIntyre
Past Achievements: SCW Heavy Metal Champion, SCW Top Team Champion
Alignment: Face

'Cause I've got sunshine in my pocket, I'm just right here in my zone
In my zone"

Smoke dispersed from the stage as "In My Zone" by Rittz blasts throughout the PA System as Brandon Hendrix bursts through the curtains to seeing a sold out crowd at the event, and he can't help but smirk at the sight in front of him. The females in the crowd sending love and positive reactions towards Brandon while the men send boos and borderline non PG comments towards Hendrix. Brandon nods his head at the crowd before throwing both his arms to the side, smoke coming up behind him as he yells, getting a louder reaction from the crowd. 

?: "He hails from San Antonio, Texas, he weighs in tonight at two hundred and thirty seven pounds, he is The Don, The Messiah, The Prodigal Son, Wrestling's Best Kept Secret, Based God, he is…. BRANDON….. HEEEEEENNNNNDRRIIXXX!"

Brandon lowers his arms down before rotating his shoulder blades, staring down his opponent in the ring. He smirks again before stepping forward and starts his walk down to the ring. The fans reaching out for high fives catch his arms, but don't get a high-five from Brandon. He makes his way up the steel steps before standing on the apron. He jumps over the top rope and lands on the mat before walking up to his opponent, looking down at them as he smirks again before climbing the middle ropes, placing one foot on the top rope before letting out another yell, gaining another loud reaction from the fans before dropping to the mat below. The song ends as Brandon grabs the top rope and uses it to stretch before leaning into his corner, waiting for the bell to ring.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? Exposure and to possibly rewrite the wrong that happened with IIW

About halfway up the ramp, she makes a cut symbol with her hands, leaping into the air thrice before continuing her walk. Reaching the ring, she rolls in before tossing her jacket to an attendant at ring side.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? A way to get her name out there to the world.

Summary of character's story: Axel has gone from washed up musician to corporate CEO. Deciding to step into the ring started as a way to keep himself in the spotlight to now a personal challenge as he finds everything now. Think of him as a Ras Al Guhl type in that way

Get In the Ring - Guns n Roses

AVO splits the curtain as the opening guitar riff play. Running from one edge of the platform to the other he hypes up the crowd, by either getting them to cheer or boo depending on the face/heel angle. Standing in the center of the entrance he raises his hand in the devil horns and as he drops it pyro shoots off from the stage and down the ramp. He runs down the ramp jumping from the ring apron over the top rope and dropping to a knee as more pyro shoots off from the 4 ring corners as the music fades.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? For experience to shake off ring rust against the best of the new age. Grabbing the title in this tourney would show everyone he’s not going anywhere



Competitor Name: Ethan Rivers
Pic Base: Roderick Strong
Past Achievements: NA
Alignment: Tweener, with heelish tendencies.
Any history with other partcipants: Being new to the world of professional wrestling, Ethan has yet to have any interaction with any of the other competitors.

Summary of character's story: Debuting for the IIW in the late half of the year, Ethan defeated Ryan McCann in his first showing on Mayhem. He would follow this up by defeating TJ Alexander the following episode of Mayhem, two weeks later. After this, Ethan would align with Josh Attwood, a man he had trained with in Canada, prior to ever performing professionally. He would proceed to have the match of his career, facing off with and barely defeating, Scotty "Silver Bullet" Adams, in what would be his first ever Main Event match. Having created a sound record of 3 wins and 0 defeats, Etahn elected to participate in the multi-promotional, intergender tournament taking place in an off season for the IIW, looking to further prove his worth as the best pure wrestler in the world. But first, he must contend in a six way ladder match at the Red Alert PPV, where the winner will receive a shot at any title belt (except for the World title). Will this last match prior to the tournament be a hinderance and risk going into the tournament? Only one way to find out.

Please write an entrance for your character: The Devil Wears Pradas "Big Wiggly Style" erupts. The icy cold tone of a crash cymbal being smashed twice in quick succession rings through the arenas PA system before instantly being followed with an orchestral tantrum of sound. From the stage emerges one Ethan Rivers, a bit cold. His outfit reflects this, as a sporty winter jacket is on, his neck engulfed in a scarf, and a winter tuque sits atop his head. Rather than giving any posing or time, Ethan, in a fit of discomfort, storms down to the ring. As he reaches the front of it, he hops to the outside of the apron, clutching the middle rope, as he scuffs his shoes on the apron, in some strange sign of respect to the ring itself. He enters and finds a corner to lean into.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? Ethans only goal when entering the realm of professional wrestling was to prove that he was, internationally, the best recognized pure wrestler in the world. This inter-promotional, intergender tournament seemed like the ultimate test thus far in his early and fresh career.

The bluesy guitar line and drumstick tapping of “La Grange” by ZZ Top teases the arrival of a wrestling legend as the bundled-up crowd erupts into cheers, their shouting breaths sending clouds of warm mist into the air, quickly swept away by the cold winds from the fans. As the drum fill sends the song into full swing “The Big Draw” Teddy Shaw emerges from the entrance with outstretched arms as the fans roar louder. Daisy Shaw follows in two behind Teddy who is already pointing to the crowd, nodding and smiling as he switches back and forth between yelling “I’m back baby,” and “I’ve missed you so much!” This continues down the ramp until he finally takes a few running strides and slides under the bottom rope into the ring. He stands to his feet and wraps his arms tight to his body, mimicking a shivering gesture before bursting into laughter, striking a confident pose and pretending to lower a crown up and down upon his head.

What purpose is your character taking part in this tournament? Teddy’s final match in the AWE ended in a forfeit due to a back injury sustained during the match and a loss of the Supreme Championship to long-time rival and former friend and Chimera Tag Team Champion partner, “Rockin” Ronny Reynolds. Forced into early retirement, Teddy is plagued by not being able to leave wrestling on his own terms, and is determined to go out in one final blaze of glory by wining the Ice Crown Tournament.

FWA Women’s Champ

Former Commissioner of FWA
Former VP of GWA

Alignment: Tweener

Any history with other participants:
None. Scarlett has not been involved in the wrestling scene for 17 years with the exception of her brief appearance at HWA’s One Night Stand last year.


Summary of character's story: Scarlett grew up in a well-to-do family living amongst the social elite of Austin in the city's very exclusive Westlake Hills subdivision. This woman that we have grown to love, grew up as a rather passive, quiet young girl. She seldom spoke out for herself, and thus this behavior opened the door for people to trample her spirits and to utterly take advantage of her. Suddenly, upon the dawning of her 14th birthday, tragedy struck--Scarlett's parents separated.

Scarlett was absolutely devastated by these sudden turn of events. This led her to emerge into a deep depression. Then, in the midst of her sorrows, Scarlett grew stronger mentally and physically. She gained renewed self-confidence and, ultimately overcoming her struggle with depression. Scarlett found a new passion in both academic and physical activities. In high school, Scarlett excelled in Debate and Mock Trial, and while not vigorously concentrating on her studies, Scarlett began to take up weight lifting and through this, she first got interested in the wrestling industry.

After graduating with the ranking of #4 in her class, Scarlett soon gained admission into the University of Texas at Austin. During the summer before her freshman year at UT, Scarlett decided to enroll into Shawn Michael’s Wrestling Academy in San Antonio, TX, which was only an hour's drive away from Austin. The knowledge and hands-on experience Scarlett gained at the wrestling academy would soon aid as the main catalyst to Scarlett receiving her first job in a major federation. Scarlett, now with 4 years gone by---a now very impressive 2nd yr. student at UT Law and Ph.D. candidate at the age of 22, was wrestling in a house show held in San Antonio just days away from her 23rd birthday. Little did Scarlett know that this very match would change her life for years to come.

In attendance was Hurricane Rage, at the time a prominent wrestler in FwZ, who was thoroughly impressed with Scarlett’s in-ring presence so he made the call and contacted FwZ President Lethal and the rest is history. After winning numerous titles in FwZ, NFWL, CWF, IEW, UCF, FWA, Scarlett caught the eye of fellow wrestler Jared Sengir. The two would go on to marry after a whirlwind courtship and would welcome their son Tyler James Sengir into the world on October 27th, 1997.

After taking a few years off due to the birth of her son Tyler, Scarlett reentered the wrestling scene after receiving an offer from Steven Fury to join the legendary GWA in 2000. GWA was at the height of its fame when Scarlett joined the roster--boasting the most talented Valkyrie (Women’s roster) she had ever encountered. After legendary feuds with such GWA legends and Hall of Famers as Mei Himagaji, Reina Saiaki, Stephanie Conner, Caprice De Lioncourte, Pussy Galore, and Jade Everson, Scarlett went on to capture the GWA Valkyrie championship twice during her tenure in GWA. Most of Scarlett's time in GWA was sporadic at best due to commitments with the front office, serving as VP in 2002 during the height of the fed's popularity. Had she stayed on the active roster, there is no doubt this 2x Valkyrie champion would have regained the belt numerous times.

Intermittently Scarlett, alongside her brother Eric Rayne, would participate in inter-fed tournaments Last Man Standing (LMS) and When Worlds Collide (WWC) representing the GWA against their rival fed Fans Wrestling Federation (FWF). Here, Scarlett would gain inter-fed recognition and the admiration of fellow Gladiator, the legendary Johnny Storm.

Johnny Storm and Scarlett quickly became a couple following her separation from Jared Sengir and would become engaged to Johnny Storm following her divorce from Jared a few months later. Although short lived, their passionate romance was one that gossip magazines and the tabloids clamored over. For reasons unknown to the general public, Scarlett broke off her engagement to Johnny Storm in 2003 and she soon left the GWA and the wrestling world behind. On August 24th, 2003, at Stella Aeternus, GWA’s final show, Scarlett shocked the wrestling world and made a surprise appearance and captured the final GWA Valkyrie title.

With the closure of GWA, Scarlett hung up her wrestling boots for good. Last year Scarlett made a shocking appearance at HWA’s One Night Stand, facing off against Syren. After experiencing a stunning defeat, Scarlett is looking to reclaim her former glory and secure some more victories under her belt by becoming the future IIW Ice Crown champion. Scarlett’s future within the wrestling world past the tournament remains in question.

Please write an entrance for your character:

A thick rolling fog sets in as the haunting melody of Lies by Evanescence is heard across the arena. Scarlett is seen in the darkness, her silhouette illuminated by the glowing red back lights on the entrance ramp. After 30 seconds have passed, the pyro begins to stream down from the ceiling, as Scarlett is now fully illuminated by the twinkling light the pyro brings. She is seen wearing a long black and crimson leather trench coat / duster jacket with black leather pants along with knee high black wrestling boots and a skin tight black corset laced top.

As the guitar riff hits, Scarlett begins her descent down the entrance ramp towards the ring, sizing up her opponent, keeping a fixed glare in their general direction.

YOU’LL NEVER BE STRONG ENOUGH
YOU’LL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH
YOU WERE NEVER CONCEIVED ENOUGH
YOU WILL NOT RISE ABOVE

Scarlett climbs up the steel steps leading her into the ring, she pauses for a brief moment facing the crowd as they chant along.

THEY’LL NEVER SEE
I’LL NEVER BE
I’LL STRUGGLE ON AND ON
TO FEED THIS HUNGER
BURNING DEEP INSIDE OF ME

Scarlett has now entered the ring and has climbed up the left turn buckle facing the crowd and the cameras in her general direction, throwing her fist up in the air as a mixture of cheers and boos are heard rising from the crowd.

As the haunting melody continues to play, more pyro is seen streaming down from above the ring as Scarlett pauses for a few seconds so fans can get their perfect pictures taken of Scarlett.

THEY’LL NEVER SEE
I’LL NEVER BE
I’LL STRUGGLE ON AND ON
TO FEED THIS HUNGER
BURNING DEEP INSIDE OF ME

As the music begins to fade, Scarlett hops down onto the ring apron, having tossed her jacket to an attendant outside the ring, ready for the match to begin.
