The Crowe’s ran Black Mountain Wrestling for four generations in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. Recently it was forced to close by the government due to the pandemic. They were offered a contract by UPRISING to keep their heritage alive.

WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: There will be some in the crowd, especially in places like Reno, who will identify with their bigotry, hatefulness and blind nationalism.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: They are bigoted, hateful nationalists who want to rid the country of undesirables and spread their propaganda.
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.
- BLOODLUST/VIOLENCE: Your character gets a thrill from the violence. For them, winning and losing is secondary to being able to spill the blood of another human being.
- 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:
- TOTAL TEAM PLAYER: Your character will team with anyone, even if they don't share a common interest or goal. Appreciates the benefits of friends and allies.
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
- Always
THEME SONG: 'You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive' – Darrell Scott
VALET/MANAGER: Wade Crowe (father). If wrestling singles, his father and brother Otis always accompany him to the ring in singles matches.
VALET/MANAGER FACE CLAIM: Mel Gibson
VALET/MANAGER PURPOSE: Provide distractions. Aid victories. Dispense tactical advice.
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE: 15 years.
WRESTLING STYLE:
- THE PURIST: Relies on hard-hitting, old-school brawling. Takes the throwback traditional wrestling style and makes it relevant once again.
- THE HOSS: Relies on brute strength and size to dominate their opponent. They don't have much talent in terms of actual wrestling skill, but they can still hurt you.
- 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 EXTREMIST: Relies on weaponry and their surroundings to abuse their opponents. Their primary objective, aside from victory, is to maim, bludgeon and incapacitate. Nothing is off-limits for this fighter.
MATCH TENDENCIES: To beat and batter the opponent until they can’t function. Winning comes naturally.
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: Avoids anyone other than family.
FIGHT-ENDING STYLE:
- OUT-WRESTLING: Beats the opponent using their preferred wrestling style.
- ULTRA-VIOLENCE: Focused around brutality, using weapons and their surroundings, leaving their opponent no choice but to concede defeat.
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
- Size and strength.
- Pain Tolerance.
- Ruthless Aggression.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
- Dimwitted. He isn’t the brightest crayon in the box and can easily be outsmarted.
- Not used to seeing aerial attacks, as that style never made its way to Black Mountain Wrestling.
- Disregard for his own wellbeing. Punishing the opponent and winning is more important than getting injured in the process.
