Character Details
Gimmick:
Straight Edge former addict who has become so sick of the fans and company he works for, he has shed everything that used to make him Triple X, and feels he has proven himself right unpon becoming World Champion.
2 Characteristics of Gimmick:
1. Hatred of fans; X despises those who used to cheer him and utilizes whatever he can to project this; from his straight-edge lifestyle to his discarding of his old moniker and high-risk lifestyle.
2. The arrogant calmness that hid him questioning abilities remains, although it now also projects an assured arrogance that he was right about the fans, and uses his World Championship victory as proof of that fact
Brief Bio/History:
As a kid, Xander Knight and his girlfriend Abigail were both into serious drugs and drinking issues. These issues cost Abi her life and, after nearly overdosing, straightened X out literally; he became straight-edge, got his life together and became a beloved WZCW Superstar, winning the Elite X Championship and the Eurasian Championship.
But after a short decline of fortune, during a contest with Blade Xander suffered an injury that would keep him out for months. The fans continuing to cheer Blade however, while no-one seemed to care for the fallen Triple X. This ate up X inside, and when he eventually returned, he swore to the WZCW fans that he would burn down every one of their fan favorites as his revenge.
Upon losing a match for the World Title against Ricky Runn and a returning Ty Burna, X left once again, infuriated that he couldn’t get the job done. After re-establishing himself as a dangerous competitor, Xander shed his moniker of Triple X and his high flying, risk-taking nature, grounding himself into the upper card of WZCW.
At the Greatest Grandest Lethal Lottery 2019, Xander achieved history by becoming the first man to enter a Lethal Lottery at number one and win, and became the second man to win his first WZCW Championship in the Lottery match itself.
Entrance
Music:
Enemy by Fozzy
Description:
Enemy by Fozzy begins to thump in over the speakers of the arena as the lights cascade down to darkness. The arena stays in darkness for a long time, before finally a spotlight hits the stage revealing Xander. He looks around the audience with a huge grin on his face, before unbuttoning his jacket, revealing the WCZW Championship around his waist. He unhooks it, lifting it with one hand and flipping off the fans with the other, all the while smiling. When he enters the ring, he does a victory lap holding the title up inside, before mounting the turnbuckle, once again raising the belt while sticking the middle finger to the fans, all the while with that same old grin.
Moveset and Miscellaneous
