CHARACTER INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
You know this fucker's story. Touchdown started at the beginning of IPW as one half of The Jamrockers, a beloved comedy tag team with his partner Jimi Cooldown. While the two became fixtures of the company (and sold a lot of shirts) their loss to The Dead End Express at First Contact marked the beginning of the end of their efforts as a team, but not as friends, with Touchdown branching off to become a singles star. Since then he had captured the IPW Openweight Championship and successfully defended it from some of the toughest competition in IPW. While simultaneously becoming an underhanded, arrogant and sleazy rebel who spits in the face of anyone who opposes him and has alienated his closest friend in Jimi away from the company. He has subsequently convinced himself to be IPW's greatest star and leading man, surrounding himself with his sycophant Tuna Meltzer and hired muscle James Griggs Riley to form 'Team Touchdown'.
GIMMICK:
THE LOCKER ROOM LEADER: Touchdown views himself as a rebel against authority, a crusader against "The Man" and a beacon for the roster of IPW to follow and learn from. While aware he bends the rules and isn't well liked, the reality that he is a vicious, opportunistic thug is completely lost on him.
ALIGNMENT:
Straight Heelin'
PERSONALITY:
The best descriptor for Touchdown would be multifaceted. He is a sleazy, disrespectful punk and an arrogant braggart who indulges his baser desires and will always do his damndest to avoid a fair fight. He is also a machiavellian schemer (with a surprisingly deep vocabulary when not telling people to suck his dick), able to back up most of his brags and, if truly cornered, fully capable of putting his body on the line as he'd done while a fan favourite. He is more laid back and even complimentary to those who give him the proper respect (IE: complete adulation) but the majority of the time he enjoys taunting and insulting all those around him, trying to goad future opponents and would be challengers into losing their cool. There are, slight, hints that he is capable of much more however (and that, when not playing up to it, the negative crowd responses irritate him to some extent) but he is held back by his own laziness and sheer spite.
IN-RING INFORMATION
THEME MUSIC:
"Blank Generation" by Richard Hell & The Voidoids
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:

[font color="1a986d"][div align="center"]I WAS SAYIN, LET ME OUTTA HERE!
'FORE I WAS EVEN BORN! IT'S SUCH A GAMBLE WHEN YA GETTA FACE!
IT'S FASCINATIN' TO OBSERVE WHAT THE MIRROR DOES, BUT!
WHEN I DINE, IT'S FOR THE WALL THAT I SET A PLACE![/div][/font]
The lights go out as the 'Blank Generation' blares through the speakers. A green light flashes on the minitron, exposing the shadow of a man with his back to the audience, flanked either side by a thin spritely man on his left and a wall of muscle on his right.
The lights turn back on (flashing green periodically) to boo's as Alastor Touchdown and his cronies Tuna Meltzer and JGR make their way to the ring. Touchdown boredly chewing gum and letting the hatred wash over him while JGR remains all business. Touchdown dumps a bottle of water over his head, wetting his hair, while Tuna holds up a microphone and yells as high as his grating voice will allow.
[div align="center"][b][font color="e9a67f"]Tuna Meltzer:[/font][/b] MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING! FROM THE ILLUSTRIOUS "BOOGIE STREET" NEW YORK. WEIGHING IN AT A CHISELLED 200 POUNDS!

Touchdown smiles at the ridiculous introduction and stops before the ring. Choosing to walk backwards to the left side and jump onto the apron facing the hard camera, JGR enters the ring and stands behind him with his arms folded. Touchdown smirks and mouths [font color="1a986d"]"Whole. Cunting. Show."[/font] towards the camera before entering the ring.

I CAN TAKE IT, OR LEAVE IT EACH TIME, WELL!
I BELONG TO THE ... [i][b]GENERATION![/b][/i] AND!
I CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT EACH TIME![/div][/font]
Now inside, Touchdown saunters towards the nearest corner and begins taking an obnoxiously long time removing his jacket, checking his boots and conversing with his 'Team', all to piss off the fans (and his opponent, should they be in the ring).APPEARANCES:
In-Ring: Touchdown keeps it fairly straightforward with his gear, black trunks, black kneepads, white wrist tape and occasionally a black elbow pad on his right elbow. His trunks are often a single bold colour but occasionally carry a mocking taunt to his opponent or his latest catchphrase. If it's an opponent he's really trying to piss off however he'll elect to do things like airbrush their significant other over his crotch or their latest loss on the back.
Entrance: Same gear as above but Touchdown wears a black leather jacket to accenuate his "punk" look, while carrying a water bottle to wet his hair (and then toss at the fans) and chewing gum (to also spit at the fans). On rare occasions he'll fancy up his jacket by emblazing a logo on the back that usually revolves around himself (the most common being The Misfits skull with his long hair and beard)
Segment: He almost always wears the above leather jacket, coupled with anything else to make him look like the epitome of sleaze. Torn jeans, boots, wifebeaters or gaudy shirts tend to be his preferred uniform.
MOTIVATIONS:
Fame. Money. Adulation. Respect. Alastor Touchdown is the greatest professional wrestler on the earth and everyone should be kissing his ass.
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
It would be rarer for him to go into a match and not cheat. He likes to plan ahead for opponents and gauge the best ways to fuck them over. If he can't do that, he'll at the very least try to get into their heads wherever possible.
FAVOURITE MATCH TYPES:
Straight singles matches (affords him the most opportunity to cheat while limiting his opponents), tag matches (he is an experienced tag wrestler and it allows him to delegate the work to someone else), ladder matches (not overly a fan but his agility and track record has him very successful), handicap matches (where he is on the group side, naturally).
LEAST FAVOURITE MATCH TYPES:
Death matches (A self-preservation preference more than anything else), cage matches (me sowing: yes this is awesome i love this! me reaping: this fucking sucks, what the fuck!), handicap matches (where he is on his lonesome)
STRENGTHS:
— Cheat2Win: Touchdown is a surprisingly shrewd competitor, good at sniffing out an opponents weaknesses and even better at bending the rules to let him capitalise on them. His arrogance and overall demeanour allow people to underestimate how sharp he is, making it that much easier for him to steal victory from under them.
— He's Here, He's There, He's Every-Fucking-Where: Touchdown, even by his detractors, is noted to be extremely fast and agile while also being a gifted technician. He can take things to the ground, grapple with surprisingly impressive strength and manoeuvre himself wherever he needs to be to whittle down even the biggest opponent.
— Whole Cunting Show: While certainly no longer a fan favourite, Touchdown is more than capable of relying on high flying offense when the opportunity presents. He doesn't do it as much due to putting his own wellbeing first and to spite the crowd, but he is capable of taking to the skies to dish out significant damage to opponents with the highest pain thresholds.
WEAKNESSES:
— Corazón de Pollo: While not afraid of opponents in the traditional sense due to his arrogance (and would rather die than admit as such if he were), Touchdown is, effectively, a coward at heart and will be hesitant to take on opponents in a straight fight, even if he's capable of matching them shot for shot. It can lead to him outright trying to flee until things become more favourable. It also has him be more reliant on his outside help than he'd prefer.
— The Master Plan: Due to the continued underestimation and his own inferiority complex, Touchdown has a tendency to cheat when he doesn't really need to or at best overthink things and suffer from complexity addiction. While he prides himself on taking situations into account and going with the flow (which, to his credit, has been proven to be the case in-ring) he can be surprised and it can be that much harder for him to regain control.
— No More Hero: While, as mentioned, he is capable of the same athleticism prior to becoming a colossal prick, his willingness to sacrifice his body and his daredevil attitude is certainly gone. Not only does it lead to Touchdown taking fewer risks (at least physically) it has also made him less resistant to punishment. He's no glass jaw, but it's clear he's much better suited to dodging and weaving than tanking a sustained assault.
