Gimmick Description: Simply put, pro wrestling is one big story - James August's story. He's the hero, you see? This is all about him, and maybe the few people he considers friends - but still mostly him. The people that don't realize that he's the greatest professional wrestler to ever live are misguided at best and stupid at worst. His mission statement is to prove all of those people wrong by beating the shit out of all of their favorites, grabbing the brass ring and ascending to the top.
Character Biography: His story would be the typical one about a collegiate athlete destined for greatness and developing and ego big enough to fill Madison Square Garden, but all of that only came after he was born with nothing and got tossed around in the foster system until he was finally able to emancipate himself from needing any sort of guardian as a minor working a full time job to pay his own bills. The fact that he was able to do all that, get a football scholarship and make it as far as he has in life and professional wrestling is the foundation of which his ego and narcissism is built upon, and it's a strong one at that.

Entrance Theme (w/ link if available): Thank God I'm Not You
Entrance Description (These will be used for PPV/Championship Matches):
"Thank God I'm Not You" hits and from gorilla come four lucky ring crew members who are given the priviledge of carrying a chair as if it's a palanquin. Seated on this chair, smugly looking over the crowd, is James August. He occasionally barks a critique at the 'extras' carrying him, or leans over to one side so he can shout insults at booing fans. As they reach the top of the ramp James holds up his hand to stop the extras and then shoes them away, coming to a stand as they return backstage. Smirking, he takes a few steps and then widens his stance, raising both arms up with index fingers pointed to the sky. Pyro explodes around the ramp and above on the stage, showering August in golden sparks.
"I Thank God That I'm Not You!"
"I Thank God That I'm Not You!"
James slowly makes his way down the ramp, exchanging insults with booing fans. He rips up signs disparaging him, knocks people's hats off, yells in the faces of children not wearing his merch, and probably spits on someone. Upon reaching the corner steps he wipes his feet on the top step before stepping onto the apron. With one arm braced on the top rope he leans his back against the ropes and smirks at the crowd again before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. James wastes no time in getting to one corner to stand on the middle turnbuckle. Closing his eyes and smiling, he outstretches his arms wide and faces upward just before there's another explosion of pyro, raining golden sparks down around the ring. he then drops back down to the map and makes small adjustments to his knee and elbow pads, rolling his wrists and waiting for the sound of the bell.
