In Character Information
Name: Brendan Callaghan
Nicknames(s): Superman
Picbase(s): Jake McDorman
Twitter Handle: @supermanbrendan
Age: 27
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 255 lbs
Hometown/Billed from: South Boston, Massachusetts
Alignment: Tweener
Entrance Music: “Choke” by Bowling For Soup
Entrance:
Once the drums intro of "Choke" by Bowling For Soup hits, Brendan Callaghan bursts through the curtains with an arm raised proudly. Grinning, he then points to his opponent in the ring (or fans who are jeering if he’s the first to enter the ring) and starts singing aloud along to the song’s catchy hook “Choke! Choke! Choke!” Some of the fans follow his lead, mostly out of glee and amusement. He jogs down the ramp and climbs into the ring. As the chorus repeats, he points to his opponent (or fans who are jeering) and sings again before laughing at their reaction. Annoyed, his opponent starts to lunge at him but gets blocked by the referee instead who quickly tries to separate them. Behind the referee’s back, Brendan simply does a variety of immature responses just to rile up them even more, like making faces, doing the winding up middle finger gesture, blowing a raspberry etc (just have fun with this lol).
Character Biography:
Brendan Callaghan is related to brothers Ryan, Sean, Liam and half-sister Noel. He is playful and always cracking jokes because he doesn’t take anything seriously. But being the oldest brother, he is protective of his younger siblings and will do anything for them. Being the closest to Ryan, Brendan was the only one who visited him in prison. Brendan was also the last one to find out about their father Nathan’s second family and had no clue the whole time. This changes Brendan’s relationship with Nathan. Even though he has accepted Noel as part of his family, he still harbours a bit of resentment towards their father but doesn’t act on it.
Brendan is a naturally gifted athlete, having been involved in various sports while growing up. Despite the recognition, he never stood out because he always jumps from one thing to another. He’s barely self-motivated, preferring to do things at his own pace.
Before Nathan got hurt, Brendan was the only one whom he trained. For a few years, Brendan pursued a wrestling career, from which he only gained fans (thanks to his personality) and not titles or any other notable accomplishments. Along the way, he got screwed by management and received little to no pay for matches. Due to this, he had to work various odd jobs to survive. Eventually, he decided to quit and work as a trainer in a wrestling gym.
But lately, he’s been missing the spotlight so with his brothers in wrestling now, he has decided to give it another shot and join in the fun.
On Camera/Off Camera Character Personality: He’s a simple-minded guy who wants nothing more than to steal the spotlight, but only to entertain the world. He doesn’t care too much for championships or grudges/rivalries nor take anything too seriously because life is short. He just wants to enjoy the ride.
Other Notable Information:
Gimmick: Professional slacker
Strengths:
1) Creative (whether in the ring or out, he can get himself out of trouble in many different ways or try at least)
2) Opportunistic (due to his playful personality, he loves to trick opponents/referee/anyone, not just to entertain the crowd but more importantly, to gain an opening when the opponent least expects it which he finds oh so hilarious)
3) Doesn’t hold grudges (this allows him to focus on what’s next instead of the past and what-could-have-been’s)
4) Brute strength (there’s always power behind his moves)
5) Tough (he’s like a tree, it’s hard to knock him down)
Weaknesses:
1) Lazy (e.g. his moves can be sloppy sometimes, he may wait for opponent to make a move before reacting accordingly, he doesn’t push himself to do better)
2) Playful personality (he doesn’t take anything seriously so he may underestimate opponents/get disqualified/get in trouble with people because he LOVES toying with people - think man child lol)
3) Anything for money (if people want to hire him to hurt someone or anything like that, he’d do it for a price)
4) Less than perfect eyesight (because he's not that short-sighted, he refuses to wear glasses/contacts so his vision may occasionally affect him)
5) Deeply skeptical (he trusts no one but himself, his family and close friends so it takes time to convince him)
Championship/Accomplishment History: None
Move Sets:
Wrestling Styles: Showman/Power/Striker mix with dirty tricks and occasional basic top-rope moves
In-Ring Personality: Enjoys toying with opponent and playing to the crowd to make the match an entertaining show. He will show off or do something shocking/funny any chance he gets.
Favorite Moves:
1) Body hooks/uppercut combo with theatrics to burning lariat
2) Shoulder block (running/slingshot flying) with sarcastic taunts (e.g. shoveling dirt gesture as if burying opponent, dramatically checking for their heartbeat)
3) Package piledriver
4) Pumphandle Michinoku Driver II
5) Wheelbarrow suplex
6) Fallaway slam (sometimes from top rope)
7) Mountain bomb
8) Corner european uppercut to spike DDT
9) Pop-up powerbomb
10) Multiple pendulum backbreakers
Trademark Moves:
1) Brendan’s Big Bag O’ Trix
Basically anything to trick the referee or opponent to get an opening in the match or to win, from something simple to an elaborate plan. His personal favourite gag is to randomly pass out aka playing possum during a match before striking/countering an unsuspecting opponent. Another example: While referee is distracted/knocked out, Brendan exits the ring to grab an illegal object then tosses it to a surprised opponent before pretending to pass out in the middle of the ring as if knocked out. Ref, thinking opponent used illegal object, disqualifies them and declares Brendan the winner.
2) Boston Full Throttle
Delayed spinebuster to giant swing (speed increases with each rotation of usually 7 rotations, may be more depending on the match and crowd reception)
Finishing Moves:
1) Southie Glory
Stalling falling chokebomb with Tongan death grip pin (if opponent is more hated than Brendan, the crowd may repeatedly chant “Choke! Choke!”)
2) Awesome As Fuck Kapow
Springboard forearm smash
