WHAT BRINGS YOU TO UPRISING?
Gorgo was the only qualifier from Moldova for women’s judo at the 2020 Olympics. She won the gold medal. Since then she has competed in Eastern European MMA leagues, having earned a record of 4-0. When she saw the open challenge at Unleashed 2 advertised on Twitter, she bought a plane ticket and flew to America with a suitcase and what little money she had saved up. She won the open challenge and was offered a contract to join UPRISING. Her reasons are her own.
PERSONALITY OVERVIEW: Gorgo is cold and calculating. She is not friendly with anyone, whether it’s other wrestlers, backstage personnel, or the fans. She came to the US with a purpose, and that purpose does not include being liked.
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: Anyone who appreciates stiff, hard hitting offense and complete disregard for the health and safety of the other wrestlers, will fully appreciate what Gorgo brings to the ring.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: Everyone else will hate her fucking guts for the same reasons.
REASONS TO COMPETE:
- 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.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS TEAMWORK:
- ARMY OF ONE: They cannot be relied upon to work together. They came into the world alone and will go out alone. They are the epitome of a lone wolf.
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
- Sometimes
She’s not against cheating or bending the rules, such as holding submissions past a rope break or using illegal attacks like biting, but will prefer to beat opponents without taking advantage of referees being knocked out or other hijinks.
THEME SONG: Faceshopper (The Gorgo Mix) by Sophie
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE: 0 years. She is making the transition from mma.
WRESTLING STYLE:
- THE BEAST: Relies on size and strength to control a match from start to finish. Every hold is a vise. Every move is bone breaking.
- 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 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: Every opponent is thoroughly scouted ahead of time. She enters each match with an emotionless strategy to pick apart her foe’s defensive capabilities and neutralize their offensive abilities. It’s rare for her to lose her cool and succumb to emotional bursts that may leave her open for counter attacks.
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: Prefers to keep to herself.
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.
- ULTRA-VIOLENCE: Focused around brutality, using weapons and their surroundings, leaving their opponent no choice but to concede defeat.
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
- FOCUSED: It’s difficult to knock her off her game. She is mentally strong and not easily shaken.
- SIZE AND STRENGTH: She is larger and more built than most female wrestlers, allowing her to compete directly with male wrestlers rather than having to rely on speed and aerial maneuvers like many women must when entering the ring against heavyweights.
- UNRELENTING: She will keep moving forward, at all costs, until either her opponent is finished or she is rendered unconscious. Pain will not dissuade her.
- HIGH LEVEL JUDO: She can toss, throw, suplex and strike with the best of them. She is also proficient in many submissions.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
- KAMIKAZE: She will put everything on the line, including her own body, to defeat her opponent.
- SPEED: Though she is certainly not a lumbering monster like the giants of the ring, she isn’t nearly as quick as smaller wrestlers, putting her at a disadvantage against anyone who can avoid her attacks while landing quick strikes and maneuvers.
- OVERCOMMITS: She puts 100% into every punch, every kick and every hold and will rarely abandon an attack. This can at times leave her in a vulnerable position if her opponent is smart enough to counter.
FINISHERS
1. DEATH CLUTCH aka DESUKURATCHI (デスクラッチ) – Dragon Sleeper
Gorgo has three versions of this classic choke and neck crank for different situations.
With Body Scissors
This variant is useful against opponents significantly larger than her. She locks the opponent in an inverted face lock, then from behind wraps her legs around their waist and drags them down to the mat.
From the Camel Clutch
This variant is used against opponents around her size, up to 240 lbs. With the opponent face down on the mat, she stomps straight on their spine. When the opponent flinches, she sits down on their back, pulls their arms back over her legs like a camel clutch, but then reaches over their head and under their arm to lock in the dragon sleeper.
From the Surfboard
The most vicious version of this move is used against opponents under six feet. With the opponent on their stomach, she locks their lower legs around hers then grabs both their arms. She then falls backward, until they are vertical on their knees. From there, rather than continue to the surfboard submission, she reaches up and snakes her arm around their throat and under their arm, locking in the dragon sleeper.
2. KIKKUDEMON aka Kick Demon (キックデーモン) - Mawashi Geri Roundhouse Kick
A kick that can come out of nowhere, this judo-style roundhouse kick is delivered to the side of the opponent’s face with the lower part of her shin and top of the foot. She can land this stationary or after springboarding off the ropes or an object.
SIGNATURE MOVES
(Maximum of Five)
QUEENMAKER – Wrist-lock transitioned into a Short-Arm Lariat
Gorgo gains wrist control then Irish whips the opponent, but rather thank let go at full extention, she yanks the opponent back toward her and nails a devastating lariat that flattens the foe, often spinning them end over end.
BRIDGING DRAGON SUPLEX
Snapping full nelson suplex into a bridge for the pin.
CRUCIFIX ELBOW STRIKES
In the crucifix position, Gorgo delivers hammering elbow strikes to the side of the opponent’s head. It can then be turned into a pin by rolling them over onto their shoulders.
GORGO PLEX – Regal-Plex, aka Bridging Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex
From behind the opponent, she tucks her head under their near arm, then reaches over their shoulder with one hand and through their legs with the other. She locks hands and lifts them up and over, dropping them onto their neck and holding for the pin.

BACKSTAGE APPEARANCES: Do you want segments and/or backstage interactions to be written FOR YOU or would you prefer to submit your own?
- NO: I definitely want to write and submit my own segments and realize that the failure to do so will result in a lack of involvement in the ongoing plotlines and/or receiving push towards championships.
