WHAT BRINGS YOU TO UPRISING?
Donovan decided to leave his previous promotion in order to guide his businesses through some financial difficulties and to spend time with his growing family. Once he had stabilized his businesses, he was able to devote all of his time to his wife and children, but as time wore on, it became more and more apparent how much he missed the ring. So with the blessing of his wife, the search began for the promotion he would next call home. That promotion… is Uprising.

PERSONALITY OVERVIEW: Donovan is the definition of the strong silent type, often appearing cold and indifferent to those he doesn’t know. However, once he has gotten to know someone, that's when glimpses of his sense of humor will begin to show.
STRENGTHS: Strength - His family. His wife, children and sister are major sources of inspiration for him. Before, he lived only for himself. Now, everything he does is for them.
Strength - Business savvy. He didn’t become successful on his good looks alone. He’s definitely made the most of his Harvard education.
Strength - Determination. When he sets a goal, he tends to stick to it.
WEAKNESSES: Uppity - He’s a bit pretentious. He’s accustomed to the finer things in life, so to the average onlooker, he comes off as a bit of a snob. He can also be rather stuffy, but his wife has been working to get him to loosen up a little.
Stubborn - He’s set in his ways. Old habits die hard, after all.
Show-off - He was born into money, and thinks nothing of flaunting it.
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: Donovan is fiercely loyal to those he cares about, and is always willing to help out someone in need. He’s honest, though that can be a double-edged sword.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: He's an unknown commodity, so fans may not be willing to accept him until he's proven himself.
REASONS TO COMPETE:
- 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: - Rarely
THEME SONG: 'Devil' – Shinedown
VALET/MANAGER: Danielle Basch
VALET/MANAGER FACE CLAIM: Scarlett Bordeaux
VALET/MANAGER PURPOSE: Inspiration
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE: 7 years
WRESTLING STYLE:
- 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: Donovan likes to think on his feet. He knows that size alone can only get him so far, so he incorporates various fighting styles into his repertoire.
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: Standoffish at first, but will warm up to people as he gets to know them. Is VERY particular about his coffee.
FIGHT-ENDING 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:
- Size: His height and weight give him a leverage advantage, especially when using power-based moves.
- Speed: Despite his size, he is deceptively agile. It’s not unusual for him to launch himself off the top rope with the grace of a much smaller man.
- Adaptability: He can adjust his game plan as needed.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
- Overconfidence: His privileged upbringing and general success in life has made him somewhat arrogant. This could lead to him being reckless in the ring.
- Ring Rust: He’s been away from active competition for quite some time, though that should improve in time.
- Hotheaded: If he gets riled up, it’s easier for him to lose focus.
