General Attitude: What you see is what you get with Whysp. He's the same on-screen and off. He's down-to-earth and kind-hearted, but not a pushover. He learned that having worked at a state prison in Indiana as well as being in the wrestling biz for eight years. He can be quiet when he's around people he doesn't know or in large groups, but doesn't take too long to warm up to people. Once he makes a friend, he's loyal forever. It irritates him when people say things like "You don't talk very much" or "Are you anti-social?" just because he's quiet. He has a sarcastic, quick wit about him that can be misunderstood by people who don't know he's joking. It gets him into trouble a lot, though endears him to people who appreciate it. If he doesn't like you, he won't pick any bones about it. He'll tell you or make it blatantly obvious. He can't stand bullies or cockiness and doesn't take kindly to people who try to be that way to him and the people he cares about. He's Straight Edge. He doesn't partake in alcohol, tobacco,illegal drugs, or promiscuous sex (he's married, dammit!). He's not a hipster about it, but can't stand people who brag about their sexual exploits, getting high, getting drunk, and those who make fun of people like him. Whysp is blunt, ask him his opinion, he'll give it to you. He makes no bones about it. Absolute Do(s) and Don't(s): Just follow the stuff in the GENERAL ATTITUDE section and you should be fine. Though, when it comes to wrestling, he's scientific about it. He won't do a crossbody to someone that's twice his size. Angelina usually comes with him to the ring.

Trained By/At: Antonio "El Pantera Negro" Machado Manager/Managing: Angelina Santana Tag Team Partner(s): Stable: Fatal Silence (with Angelina Santana) Weapon of Choice: Cull Stick. An axehandle.

Style: Technical with some high-flying and a little bit of submission. Signature Moves:
1.) Downfall - Diving Bulldog from top rope. 2.) Silent Scream - Lionsault with a twist. It's an ode to his favorite wreslter, Chris Jericho. 3.) crossbody to opponent in turnbuckle Finisher(s):
Sound of Silence - diving leg drop bulldog(from turnbuckle or any raised platform)AKA Fameasser. Sound of Silence(alternate version) - Whysper gives them the kick to the gut so that they double over, he hits the middle rope and spins over so that his feet lands on the opponent's back, and then as they start to fall, he sits it into a legdrop on the back of their head.
Poetic Justice – Codebreaker Other Bio: Whysper is a country boy from the farmlands of Southern Indiana. In the beginning, he was like them all. Wrestling was silly. Wrestling was fake. Then, he gave WWE Monday Night RAW a chance on an evening in November 1998. Seeing then Commissioner Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin ridiculing the terrible Vincent Kennedy McMahon, he was hooked. It was love from then on. Athletically, he played football from Junior High all the way through High School. Whysp never started and hardly saw any playing time during games, but loved every minute of it. He also was a cheerlifter. That was the end of his athletic career until he graduated college and started wrestling school in Indianapolis. After travelling the Midwest circuit, he saw his career start in the hallowed halls of PWT, then, ICWA, and beyond. The Silent Warrior has been a mainstay in the MSN circuit which is now the Aimoo circuit. Having been through a lot in his career with his wife, the vivacious Angelina Santana, by his side, he’s seen his career skyrocket to heights he never even dreamed of and, being a writer, he has a pretty big imagination. He’s wrestled around the world in Mexico, Japan, the UK, and beyond, and now he's back in the place that made him...good ol' PWT.
Sample Entrance: "Fire It Up" by Black Label Society pumps through the PA and builds until the singer does his thing and Whysper bursts forth from the curtain followed by the captivating Angelina Santana. Whysp thumps his chest and holds up the two-pronged heavy metal taunt and then points towards the sky. He turns to Angelina who wraps her arms around his neck and one leg around his waist. She caresses his face as he caresses her leg and they engage in a short kiss. They then make their way to the ring with Angelina standing at the apron, drops down onto it and does the splits, and slides under with Whysper helping her up. They both hit the middle of the ring and Whysper taps his cheek. Angelina kisses it. Whysp stumbles back, feigning a heart attack. He then heads for a corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle. He raises both arms with his hands in the metal taunt once again. His mouth open in a silent scream. Then, he puts a finger to his lips. He runs to another turnbuckle, and does the same. He helps Angelina out of the ring, then, walks to the middle of the ring. |
