Signature Moves: No idea.
Finishing Move(s): The Bulldozer
Entrance Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHq8bMQKeeA
Hometown / Country: Israel
Announcer Name: The Heavenly Disaster
Other gimmicks, quirks, personality traits and stuff: Considers himself a Face, but acts like a Heel. Doesn't understand why people don't like him even though he's such a great guy.

You can't see it on that pic but his hair is really drat long. I was considering to take of the coat thingy during matches but in the end decided it has to be there all the way.

Me like! I just thought of something, maybe he could use the moves from really patriotic american wrestlers as his signature moves, since Israel gets all that support from the US.

Either way, hope to see him get slammed soon!

Mehuyael would enjoy being taken under someone's wing for team matches, maybe learn from them as they train and "borrow" some of their signature moves. Oddly enough nobody wants to team up with him though. :shrug:

Y'know, I'm glad you chose the ridiculous over the top joke option because that's what LPFWA is all about. But we can always compromise and you can have the assless chaps, the hat and the fancy shirt. If you really really REALLY want it.

But for now I have compiled all the entrances so far. The first video is already a week or so old and features entrances of those were in the first show.
The second one features what I have of you guys so far and also Nuffkins because he wasn't in the first entrance collection. It's also not fully processed yet so wait a bit if you wanna see it in HD.

LPFWA Entrances #1 (Audio levels are all over the place, most of this has been fixed)
LPFWA Entrances #2 (anilEhilated, Mehuyael, Danaru, Big Scary Owl, Dash Rendar, kalonZombie and Nuffkins in that order)

Of course, if you turn out to be in any way unhappy with your entrance let me know and we can fix things.

I know this guy has to feud with Dash Rendar 100% of his spare time right now.

Aww yeah, I see my namesake got his hands on hair-clipping technology!

Jesus Mehuyael, your entrance is like they're introducing a Final Fantasy villain.

That's pretty much the idea. Though the music's from Symphonia.

If you pick this outfit I think it's only fair that any time he's in the ring everyone else has to wear sunglasses so they can actually look in his general direction.

LPFWA Entrances #3 - featuring Sterv (Lizard Wizard), Pyroi, Zore, Jobbo Fett and Lazyfire.

I also updated the Roster: http://imgur.com/a/lFrV1

I probably won't make any new wrestlers until I finished preparations for this Saturday's show. But don't worry, I'm not forgetting or anything. I got a spreadsheet reminding me and all that.

Just a question, can you put the same word in the narrated name multiple times? If so how would King D D D sound?

IGgy IGsen posted:

That's absolutely possible. Calling him King Triple D may be intentional on Pyroi's part, though, so I went with that.
I can still change it if it isn't, though.

Oh, of course, what Pyroi wants.

Roughly. The announcer always exxagarates the last word.

It could work depending on how it sounded. Pyroi of course gets to decide if they want to give it a try.

I'm amazed that I actually need to show up for the first round. You should have just passed me automatically to the next one and let these two have a taste of victory at least once before their eventual defeat.

# ¿ May 29, 2015 17:43

Zanzibar Ham: Mar 17, 2009; You giving me the cold shoulder? How cruel.; Grimey Drawer

Yeah I kind of gave up on seeing Meh win anything here when I saw he's going against Dash. But who knows, a possible scenario is Dash and Meh ignoring anil until Dash beats Meh, but Dash is weakened just enough for anil to sneak a victory out of nowhere.

Just saw my match! Anil made it really awesome with bringing out all those makeshift weapons.

By the way, I didn't actually intentionally base him on that guy from Symphonia, I just wanted an Aryan Ubermensch that's really an rear end in a top hat but considers himself a great guy so he'll be a good rep of the Israeli gov. I picked the Symphonia theme because it had that angelic evil feel to it (for obvious reasons). And the long hair is just so he'll at least have some difference from the stereotypical Aryan with crewcut hair.

I would have reluctantly accepted my defeat if at least it was the respectable Mr. Rendar who took me out, but having some fat neckbeard get the pin on me is ridiculous! I demand a rematch! A fair duel! Without a Dash-straction I'll show you who's the superior human specimen!

I think we have a pretty decent balance. There's a fair number of heels and faces. Also a few who are neutral or not clearly heel or face..

Oh, cool, I somehow got the impression you were swimming in Heels.

Also bonus prediction, someone's gonna pull a Hacksaw Jim Duggan and find the Pokeymanz belt in the trash, leading to a storyline where the mods attempt to ~~close his thread~~ take his title for not checking it over with them first.

Hey IGgy, I know Mehuyael only showed up in like one fight, but will it be okay to maybe reinvent his image once you have the free time? I kind of want to be able to want my guy to win, and also because of using it way too long after I got tired of it I'd rather not see the name Mehuyael anymore.

I don't know, an aryan ubermensch called Zanzibar Ham has some potential.

The problem is that I imagined him as the worst of Israel (not hard to imagine that), so if I see him in a match then I hope he loses.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:

Pretty sure they're all built from parts from actual WWE ring entrances; the DivineCoffeeBinge CAW's entrance is essentially The Ultimate Warrior's run-up to the ring followed by (I think) Lita's pose on the turnbuckles. Action Shakespeare's freakish monstrosity has Randy Orton's entrance (e: as does Dr. Rath, interestingly enough!).

After asking that I checked youtube for wrestling entrances and saw even crazier stuff, so I'm more than willing to believe these are all real.

I think I know why Nuffmania keeps being on top. Whoever beats a completely normal human in the Superstar Title Match becomes a completely normal human! Why would a Sith or Goon Lord want that? If you want someone to beat Nuffs, you gotta bring in someone who is already a CNH or for whatever reason wants to be one.
