WHAT BRINGS YOU TO UPRISING?
Samantha and members of the Uprising management team have known each other for quite a while. She knows the opportunity they offer her, and they know the type of competitor and overall representative of their new promotion they get. With Uprising also being in Reno, travel time is cut down to a minimum, making her availability for appearances easier than with some. Between Uprising management and Samantha's lawyer a deal was struck to perform in the new promotion.
PERSONALITY OVERVIEW: Samantha is very much a double-sided coin. On one hand she can be very fun-loving, gregarious, and generous. She also loves a good party. On the other hand however, when it comes to wrestling, she is extremely focused, dangerous, and cold-blooded.
STRENGTHS: Samantha is very strong-willed, and will not take no for an answer when pursuing something she wants. She loves the things she does, including wrestling, and is unafraid to promote her various ventures. She's a hard worker, and throws herself into whatever she does with everything she has.
WEAKNESSES: Samantha can be lured by her vices in life. While it has yet to affect her professionally, it has cost her dearly on a personal level. The headstrong quality she possesses can also be as much a burden as it is a strength.
ALIGNMENT: NEUTRAL GOOD
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: Samantha refuses to go down without a fight. She's plain spoken and unafraid to share her thoughts, even when they may be unpopular. Fans know when they watch her, they'll get a true fight.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: Samantha's attitude isn't for everyone. There are those who dislike and even despise her for it. The same plain-spokenness that endears her to many fans turns up the noses of some. Some also dislike that she can model, act, and yet be successful in the squared circle.
REASONS TO COMPETE:
- GLORY: Your character is all about winning and cannot stand to lose. It sends them into a rage. They have to be the very best and they'll stop at nothing – for better or worse – to achieve that.
- MONEY IN THE BANK: Your character wants to be rich beyond their wildest dreams and sees wrestling (coupled with endorsements and celebrity status) as a means to achieve that.
- PASSION: All your character has ever wanted to do is wrestle. It's in their blood; their DNA. They eat, breathe and live this sport and for them it's a way of life.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS TEAMWORK:
- INNER CIRCLE: Your character will team with a select few ONLY. Outside of that small circle, they'd be considered anti-social, but within their group, they're fiercely loyal.
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
- Never
THEME SONG: 'The God That Failed' by Metallica
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE:7 years
WRESTLING STYLE:
- THE TECHNICIAN: Relies on a catch-as-catch-can style of wrestling, featuring a variety of suplexes, submission holds and ground-based wrestling.
- THE STRONG STYLIST: Relies on hard-hitting (often stiff) moves and sharp strikes. Whether it's punches, chops, kicks, throws or submission holds, this fighter wants to hit hard, hit fast and hurt their foes.
- THE ALL-ROUNDER: Combines a variety of styles from different disciplines to disable and defeat their opponent.
MATCH TENDENCIES: Samantha isn't about the show, she simply wants to win. Sometimes that requires patience enough to wear down an opponent, but she will always be trying to find a way to get the 'W' throughout the match.
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: A lot of her backstage demeanor depends on when her match takes place. Before her match, she prefers to be left alone so she may focus and make her final preparations. After, she's approachable and generally congenial, but a loss will make her a bit sour.
FIGHT-ENDING STYLE:
- OUT-WRESTLING: Beats the opponent using their preferred wrestling style.
- CEREBRAL: Overcomes the opposition through intelligence, ingenuity and superior ring psychology.
- SUPERIOR STAMINA: Uses their superb conditioning to wait for the opponent to tire, before ending the fight on their terms.
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
Strength: Samantha is uncommonly strong, especially for a woman. She has suplexed men and women much larger than herself, and knows how to use it to her advantage.
Conditioning: Samantha's fitness is not only clear simply by looking at her, it's above reproach. She's built her body not only for strength, but for durability. She's always in it for the long haul.
Knowledge: It surprises some to know the width and breadth of her knowledge of both the sport and moves and holds. Her well of information extends well beyond the encyclopedic volume of suplexes at her disposal, and she knows well that she has a deep and extensive bag of tricks she's yet to show.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
Strengths: For as much as all three are strengths, they can also be weaknesses when Samantha leans on them too often.
Distraction: Though it's not as easy as it was early in her career, a persistent attempt at distraction can divert Samantha's attention.
Anger: It does not happen very often, but once in a great while, Samantha's anger can get the best of her and put her in all sorts of trouble.
