Wrestler's Name: Derrick Arthur
Nickname(s): The Pretty Hate Machine, The Dakota Drifter
Gimmick: Edge's ego and rock star cockiness meet Kane's "embrace the hate era" anger and negativity, mixed up with Chris Hero's technical mastery and innovating.
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 237 lbs
Place of Birth: Bismarck, North Dakota
Alignment: Heel
Pic Base: Chris Sabin
Appearance/Attire: Black tights with white chain silhouettes on it. Black boots. No elbow pads. During his entrance, he wears a black leather hooded vest.
Theme Music: "Still We Destroy" by Fit For An Autopsy
Entrance:
"I am human, I am horror,
I'm the creator and the destroyer,
A black cloud of corrosive breath,
I am the giver, the taker, the messenger of death!"
Fit For An Autopsy's "Still We Destroy" blasts through the speakers as Derrick Arthur storms on the ramp, not showing his face as he is looking down and a hood is draped over his head. He walks methodically to the ring. As Derrick slides under the top rope and finds himself in the center of the ring, he takes the hood of, revealing an angry face that draws several boos from the crowd. Still standing in the center of the ring, he throws the hooded vest to a ring crew member as his music dies out and he, without a motion, waits for the ring announcer to introduce him.
"From Bismarck, North Dakota, weighting in at 237 pounds... The Pretty Hate Machine... DERRICK ARTHUR!"
Boos shower Derrick as he raises his right arm in the air with the metal horns taunt for a second and then prepares for his match.
Special Entrance:
Primary Style: Technical
Secondary Style: Striker
Other Style: A little bit of high-flying
Strengths: Innovator, technical master, who, in words of Dean Ambrose, "knows counters to your counters' counters". When he starts throwing elbow shots and kicks, hide your head or you're gonna get KO'd.
Weaknesses: Mentally unstable. That can mean he gets distracted in a multi-man match or gets frustrated and angry sometimes, which leads to mistakes.
Favourite Moves:
Slingshot DDT (either to a wrestler in the ring or on the apron)
Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam

Trademark Move(s) and Description(s):
1. Hellbow (Blindside Elbow Strike)
2. Brainbiter DDT (Swinging Lifting Inverted DDT)
3. Diving Leg Drop (can be performed on the laying opponent, but preferably landed over the back of the neck of a doubled over opponent)
4. Last in Line (Locks the opponent in the Cravate, delivers several stiff knee strikes to his face and then drops him with the Cravate Neckbreaker)
Finisher(s) and Description:
Goodbye Blue Sky (Black Tornado Slam into a Border City Stretch) - Primary Submission finisher. The Black Tornado Slam is never used without locking the Border City Stretch afterwards, hence not meant to finish the match
Death Defiance (Death Valley Neckbreaker/DVD dropped over the knee) - Primary Pinfall finisher.
In The Fade (Super Canadian Destroyer, AKA Adam Cole's Panama Sunrise) - The "big match finisher". Rarely used in regular matches, rather in title bouts and grudge matches. When he hits this, boy, you do not get up from that.
Well howdy there pardner.
