Crowd Affiliation: Face
Primary Psychology: Scientfic. Whysper has a good knack for determining how fast a match should go, finding his opponent's weaknesses, and exploiting them. He's not one of those luchadors who will try to do a crossbody press onto a bigger opponent only to find themselves receiving a powerbomb or fall away slam. He's smarter than that.
Secondary Psychology: Don't give up. The man would rather die than give in. Be that the Irish stubbornness in him, but you'll have to knock him out to beat him.
Style: Luchador
Coin Phrase(s): "Dancing to the Sound of Silence" preceded by "Soon You'll be or You'll all be" He has many varations on this. Also..."Silence is Golden," and "I do my talking in the ring." "Talk is cheap."
General Attitude: Whysper is the quiet type as his name suggests. He's very intelligent, and has a sarcastic sense of humor. Generally, he's an easygoing person, but when angry, he is very explosive.
Absolute Do(s) and Don't(s): Portray him as having a sarcastic sense of humor. Portray Whysper as a very passionate person. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Do portray him as quiet and reserverd until he feels he or someone he cares about has been wronged. He has a very deep sense of justice. Though he is quiet, portray him as not being afraid to speak his mind. Portray him as being irritated easily, especially by people he feels are cocky and/or pretentious...especially those he feels who have no reason to be that way. A rookie with too-high expectations would be an example. Hell, anybody arrogant and pretentious pisses him off. Anybody who brags about drinking, partying, doing drugs, and various sexual exploits irritate him greatly, also. Though, the acts themselves don't irritate him, it's the arrogance that does. Most of the time, though, portray him as being easy-going.
Favorite Match(s): Does not discriminate...he loves it all. He's warming up back to hardcore matches, though he doesn't like straight hardcore matches without any wrestling. He's admitted it to himself...hitting people with foreign objects is a lot of fun.
Least Favorite Match(s): Ironman* *Tag Team(without stable members)* *Still not fond of ladder matches due to his fixation on heights*
Taunt: Crosses his arms in an 'x' formation like CM Punk. Also, does the rock on/heavy metal taunt.

Poetic Justice - Codebreaker (Also a Jericho move, it is a double knee facebreaker.This facebreaker involves an attacking wrestler, who is standing face-to-face with an opponent, hooking both hands around the opponent's head and then leaping to bring both knees up to the face of the opponent. The wrestler then falls backwards to the mat, thus forcing the opponent to fall forwards and impact the exposed knees. A single knee variation is also possible.)*courtesy of Wikipedia
Silent Treatment - Omoplata. A submission taught to him by his friend Cody Craig, an MMA competitor trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The locking mechanism is similar to the kimura lock, but instead of using a figure-four, it is applied using a leg. The omoplata can be applied from the guard, by placing one leg under the opponents armpit and turning 180 degrees in the direction of that leg, so that the leg moves over the back of the opponent and entangles the opponents arm. By controlling the opponent's body and pushing the arm perpendicularly away from the opponents back, pressure can be put on the opponent's shoulder. It is also possible to put pressure on the elbow joint by bending the leg entangling the arm, and twisting it in a specific manner. *Courtesy of Wikipedia

Bio: Whysper is a country boy from southern Indiana who first saw success in the MSN circuit, before it's demise and subsequent absorption by the Aimoo circuit. He gets his name from his trainer, who is Angelina's grandfather, Antonio Machado, a former Mexican luchador. He nicknamed Whysper El Susurro("whisper" in Spanish) because his charge was so quiet and pensive. However, do not mistake the Silent One's introvertedness, nor his size, as a sign of weakness. As he puts it himself, Whysper has to be a giant-killer, because of his size, if he wants a career. So, whenever he steps into the ring with someone twice his size...it's just another day on the job.
With his divorce and after catching ex-wife Angelina Santana with his former tag partner and friend Christian Michaels, Whysper became a different man. them. He assumed the alter ego of Cynikal, a violent agent of anarchy allying himself with the Messiah's Brethren. While being submissive to his mentor the Messiah, he was a man headed down a dark path with nothing but hate and misery in his mind. Frantically searching for what he called revenge, Cynikal was willing to mangle anyone he felt was a "sinner"...even innocent ICWA fans.
With only one under-handed victory to his name since his name change, Whysper was trapped between the good man that was Josh Ryan and the violent outcast that was Cynikal. It all came to a head after a loss in a match between the Horsmen and Cynikal and Mason Caine. After the Messiah and Mason Caine walked out of the ICWA, Cynikal and fellow Brethren member Shattered Soul refused to follow, effectively ending their tenure in the Brethren.
Ditching the mask and using his real name of Josh Ryan, Whysper fluctated between hero and villain frequently. One minute, he was talking openly about his feelings on how he was hurting about his divorce and the next he was slapping around innocent ICWA staff. By meeting and falling in love with one Daizi Darkside, Whysper learned to control his anger. He realized that it was going to be a long road regaining the trust of the ICWA faithful and his peers, namely Christian Michales. Feeling that he was up for a good challenge, Whysper decided to take on the "Silent Warrior" mantle once more.
With Daizi at his side, it looked as though Whysper's past was behind him. Then, his former stablemate Shattered Soul returned to haunt the Silent One. Daizi and Whysper broke up and she was even released from ICWA. Once again, it appeared as though Whysper was left alone against a fearful and very formidable opponent.
Then, Whysper's patience and persistence paid off. During a tag team match with tag champs Soul and MJ Storm, the Silent Warrior proved once again a trustworthy teammate and friend. When one door is closed, another is opened. The cause of Whysper and Michaels' loss was due to a distraction orchestrated by the devious Soul...Angelina Santana's appearance in the crowd, helping to cause the distraction for Soul to hit the Shards of Soul DDT and thus score the pin. The woman that Whysper tried so hard to forget was back. No matter how much Soul tried to break them up, Whysper and Angelina's bond only grew stronger. When he heard that PWT was re-opening its doors, he had to come running back to the fed where his career began.
Detailed Entrance:
At first the intro to "Fire It Up" plays a while and then the Silent One hits the stage. He flips his hair back, points to Heaven, pounds his chest with his fist, and gives the rock/heavy metal taunt. Then, he crosses his arms in an 'X' formation in front of his body. He looks to Angelina who wraps a leg around him as he grabs it at around the thigh. She caresses both sides of his face and they engage in a short kiss.
"Making his way to the ring, weighing one hundred ninety pounds. Being escorted by Angelina Santana. From Plainville, Indiana....Whyyysssperrrr!!!"
The two walk to the ring greeting the fans. When Whysper gets within a few feet of the ring, he sprints to it, and slides in. The Silent Warrior looks to Angelina who's making her way up the ring steps. She stops in the middle of the apron. Angelina points up in the air, twists her hips in a seductive manner, and stops with her posterior sticking out. She looks around a bit, leaps up, does the leg splits, and ducks under the ropes. Whysper sits on the middle rope and holds up the top one, letting Angelina climb in. He taps his cheek with Angelina responding by leaning over and kissing it. Whysper reels back and grabs his chest, feigning a heart attack. After 'recovering,' he then climbs a turnbuckle and does the same rock/heavy metal taunt he did on stage, but with both hands and with his mouth wide open like he's yelling. Then, he crosses his arms in front of him in the form of an 'X.' He runs to another turnbuckle and does the same taunts again. He then hops down from the turnbuckle and facing it, kneels to pray. When he's done, he stands up and walks to the center of the ring.
Without Angelina (For whatever reason. Use the one with Angelina the most often):

"Making his way to the ring, weighing one hundred ninety pounds. From Plainville, Indiana....Whyyysssperrrr!!!"
He walks to the ring, stopping to shake hands and high five the crowd. Once he gets a few feet from the ring, he sprints and slides in belly first. He climbs a turnbuckle and does the same rock/heavy metal taunt he did on stage, but with both hands and with his mouth wide open like he's yelling. Then, he crosses his arms in front of him in the form of an 'X.' He runs to another turnbuckle and does the same taunts again. He then hops down from the turnbuckle and facing it, kneels to pray.
