Wrestler's Name: Erin O'Ciardha
Nickname(s): "Wicked Hard", "The Mouthy Southie"
Gimmick: Erin never wanted to get into wrestling. She was drawn in by the dramatic figures and stories that end up being woven between the ropes, specifically the dramatic twists and turns of the Imperial Wrestling Federation. After years of covering wrestling through a podcast and blog, she ended up taking an invitation to tour the IWF Performance Center, and ended up enjoying her experience so much she requested to enroll full-time as a competitor, documented in a web series for IWF...all the way up to her debut.
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Place of Birth: South Boston, Massachusetts
Alignment: Tweener
Pic Base: Veda Scott
Appearance/Attire: Erin wears a sports bra and trunks with a variety of base/trim combinations (black/gold, maroon/gold, alternating crimson tones, any combination of red/white/blue, blue/yellow, green/white, and the inverse of any previous being the most common), along with black boots, elbow pads, and kneepads.
Theme Music: "Jump Around" by House of Pain
Entrance: {The opening horns of "Jump Around" sound through the PA, and the crowd roars in almost reflexive response as Erin O'Ciardha bursts through the curtain, egging the crowd on with a wild grin on her face. She nods along to the beat, bouncing with each step as she beckons to the crowd with both hands, making her way down the ramp. Erin makes a circuit around the ring, high-fiving and fistbumping as she goes, and hops up onto the apron, grabbing the middle rope to steady herself. Slipping between the ropes, she straightens up and spins into the middle of the ring, bouncing along and shouting the chorus of the song along with the crowd until the music fades, backing into a corner with a smile on her face.}
Special Entrance:
Primary Style: Brawler
Secondary Style: Technical
Other Style: Hardcore
Strengths:
Cardio for Days: Erin has always been good about keeping her cardio in top shape, even running the Boston Marathon more than once (though never winning), and that has never fallen off, even during her reporting days.
Hangin' Tough: Erin got into more than her fair share of fights as a youth (as she put it "seven siblings, tons of cousins, Irish Catholic, do the math"), and that led to her developing well-honed brawler's instincts. If you want to stand and trade strikes with her, she's more than happy to indulge.
I Watch This Show: Erin, more than any other aspect of wrestling, understands the psychological aspect of the business, having originally come in as a fan through that angle. As such, she recognizes traps when they're being led, and understands how easy it is to be goaded.
Weaknesses:
Coming In Cold: No matter her athleticism, Erin is still coming into wrestling with no prior professional experience and after her 30th birthday, meaning that others in their athletic prime can outdo her in terms of raw speed, strength, and especially prior combat experience.
Shallow End of the Pool: As a result of her particular focus, Erin hasn't watched the volume of footage from other promotions that some competitors have. This means that her in-ring adaptability comes largely down to in-the-moment adaptation, not recognizing a move and knowing a counter.
Favourite Moves:
Knife-edge chops
Boxing punches and combinations
Running dropkick
Hip toss pop-up into knee strike
Snap suplex
Drop toe hold, followed by a leaping elbow drop to the neck
Leaping neckbreaker
German suplex
Low dropkick
