Entrance Info
Entrance Theme: "Hysteria" by Ceremony
Detailed Entrance description:
"Hysteria" by Ceremony blasts out over the arena as Marcus Enderton strides out onto the entrance ramp, hair slicked back and a look of purpose on his face as he drops to a predator-like crouch on the ramp. Three rounds of two pyros - one red, one yellow and one orange - go off on each side of the ramp. Marcus jumps back to his feet and continues his purposeful stride to the base of the ring, then transitions into a slide under the bottom rope and hops to his feet. He heads for the nearest turnbuckle, hops atop it and crouches in that same hunting-animal style before dropping back to the mat, turning to survey the ringside area as he awaits the start of the match.

Background Info
Bio: Marcus Enderton was born on a farmstead in Zimbabwe on October 18, 1985 to upper middle-class parents of British descent who worked in the agricultural industry, but at the tender age of ten was forced to leave the farm due to the Zimbabwean government's policy of redistributing land. As a result, his family lost the key industry they had been working in their entire lives, and their fortunes went down the drain, something only compounded by the economic problems in that country. As a result, his family emigrated to the African island of Mauritius. While the family survived and made ends meet, they were by no means wealthy, and could only barely afford to give Marcus schooling. As a way to attempt to 'help out' the family- both to relieve their burden in his absence and to earn money to help them- Marcus, at the young age of eighteen, journeyed to South Africa to serve with their military. This service took place over five years, and saw a young man learn many of the important life skills he shows in his day to day life- in addition to some of the hand to hand combat he displays in the ###.
In his second year of service, Marcus came under the command of an American-born sergeant who had also enlisted in the army. As time went by and the men got to know each other, Marcus found out that the sergeant was actually a retired professional wrestler who had made a fair living in the 1980s and 1990s. The bond between them became like a brotherhood, and the sergeant began to train Marcus in wrestling skills in their downtime, thinking he could train the young man so he could leave Africa and make a better life for himself.
In 2008, Marcus was discharged and returned to Mauritius, but in the space of a couple of months he was visited again by the sergeant, who claimed he could pull strings to get Marcus a try-out with one of the many wrestling companies in the United States. All he would have to do was get there, and everything would be organised for him. Marcus agreed, and spent the next few months saving his money before finally booking passage aboard a rickety boat bound for the United States.
Marcus' career thus far, spanning across both the ### and WGWF, has been promising but has always been cut short due to injury. With his sole livelihood - and indeed his residency - depending on his performance in the sport, he has spent a long time honing his craft and looking to shake the 'glass cannon' reputation he's gained, building up his endurance and proving himself capable of fitting the full potential he's shown. It's with this in mind that he has decided to take a last-ditch chance at proving his worth in WGWF's 2012 West Coast Rumble...

Additional Information
In Ring Attire: Marcus generally wears long pant-like wrestling tights in a variety of colours and logos. His most commonly used colours are red, lime green, blue and turquoise. His most common patterns include a diving hawk in flight on the leg, a 'doppler effect' logo on the leg, and a griffin logo on the leg. His boots are always uniformly black, as are the fingerless gloves he wears in each match.
Out of Ring Attire: It depends on the scenario. Military-style short-sleeved shirts, t-shirts, jeans, cargo pants, short/long-sleeved shirts with braces, slacks, all in various colors. Generally Marcus dresses in a more utilitarian style than the average person, something left over from his time in Africa.
