Move Information
Finisher
(1)Name: Fatalism
(1)Description: Kamigoye - Finn's strongest impact maneuver and capable of causing knockouts in certain situations. Kickouts should be saved specifically for special occasions.
(2)Name: Savagery of Angels
(2)Description: Flying Armbar - A simple submission hold, but close to the best one in Finn's entire arsenal. It's an Armbar that can be considered among the best in the entire industry, and it's one Finn is mastering the art of being able to lock it in from wherever. Feel free to be very creative when coming up with ways to have him lock this in. If the opponent tries to roll over or lift to escape, Finn can also transition it into an Inverted Armbar.
(3)Name: Soulless (SUPER FINISHER!)
(3)Description: Bicep Slicer - A unique transition from the Savagery of Angels given special distinction. If Finn cannot break his opponent's grip meant to block the armbar, he can hook his legs over the arm to transition it into a Bicep Slicer and guarantee a submission. It is easily Finn's strongest move, and even just remaining in the hold for a somewhat prolonged period of time is certain to result in a broken arm.
Signatures:
(1)Name: Breaker Solo
(1)Description: Step-up axe kick to the head of a kneeling/hunched over opponent - A devastating strike capable of breaking through tough defenses. While the Breaker Solo requires set-up but is more powerful and can down almost anyone it hits, the Swan Song comes out of nowhere and works more as a stunning maneuver. Typically sets up for Fatalism.
(2)Name: Dark Solo
(2)Description: Octopus Hold/Manjigatame - A submission hold capable of restraining many against it and force them into a dire situation while applying pressure on the shoulders and joints.
(3)Name: Swan Song
(3)Description: Discus Elbow - A devastating strike capable of breaking through tough defenses. While the Breaker Solo requires set-up but is more powerful and can down almost anyone it hits, the Swan Song comes out of nowhere and works more as a stunning maneuver. Typically sets up for the Savagery of Angels.
(4)Name: The Kaiser's Domain
(4)Description: Destino - Finn's old finishing move. When in a desperate position, he'll bring this old move out, and it's still capable of finishing some matches.
(5)Name: Victory Verse
(5)Description: Wheelbarrow Victory Roll - A desperation tactic to use in a closely contested affair, capable of picking up wins in unlikely situations for Finn. After kickouts, Finn will commonly hold onto one of the legs to transition into an Ankle Lock.
Favorite Moves:
Strikes: Jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, haymakers, shin kicks, roundhouse kicks (head or body), dropkick (has a special headshot variant called 'CROWNED'), spinning back kick, shoot kick (can be done as a barrage), thrust kick, question mark kick, teep kick, Pele kick, snap elbows (can be done as a barrage), 12-6 elbows, snap knees, lariat, shoulder tackle
Arm Limbwork: Hammerlock, Hammerlock Back Suplex, Hammerlock Bodyslam, Chickenwing Armlock/Kimura Lock, Dragon Screw Arm Whip, Hammerlock Irish Whip, Leg Scissor Arm Breaker, Jumping Armbreaker onto Rail, Hammerlock Backstabber, Torbellino (sometimes multiple at a time)
Leg Limbwork: Dragon Screw Leg Whip (can be done to a standing opp or laying opp), Heel Hold, Ankle Lock, Romero Kneebreaker, Knee Crusher, Cross Legbreaker, Kneebar (has a rolling and a leg feed rolling variant), Spinning Toe Hold, Achilles Lock (usually done as a counter if Finn catches a kick attempt by an opponent), Inverted Achilles Lock, Kneeling Indian Deathlock (Finn can step onto the knee of the opponent with his free leg to apply more pressure)
Throws/Drops: Arm Drag, Belly-to-Belly Suplex, Brainbuster, DDT (also has an Inverted variant), Dragon Suplex, Half-and-Half Suplex, Neckbreaker, Snap suplex, Exploder suplex, Saito suplex, Russian Leg Sweep
Dives: Crossbody, Moonsault, Suicide Dive, Asai Moonsault, Split-Legged Moonsault, 450 Splash, Shooting Star Press, Frog Splash
Wrestling/Fighting Style:
Overview: Finn is an all-around expert, capable of adapting his game well depending on who he's facing. He's shown time and again he can grapple with the best of them, he's just as fast as he was in his prior run, and trading strikes with him is asking to practically have your face caved in. That being said, though he's a jack of all trades, one can say he's still a master of none. However, if one manages to push his mental state far enough, he can effectively 'snap,' shifting his in-ring style completely into a brutal, carnal affair, focused exclusively on only the hardest of strikes and absolute bone-breaking submissions as he almost prioritizes pain more so over a victory. Naturally, this makes utilizing mind-games against Finn a high-risk, high-reward system.
Strengths:
(+) Extremely adaptable in-ring style
(+) Above-average technician and grappler
(+) Vicious striking power
(+) Extremely rapid pace, very speedy
(+) Capable of fluidly chaining together moves to keep opponents guessing
(+) Excellent stamina, capable of holding himself well for long periods of time
Weaknesses:
(-) Prefers to fight with honor - will not cheat UNLESS his opponent attempts to cheat against him first
(-) Struggles with lifting power against larger opponents
(-) Fighting style while 'snapped' is a tricky situation - all offense, no defense, and can have his momentum turned against him. This makes mind-games a high-risk, high-reward strategy against him.
(-) Endurance is a question, can be caught by surprise by shock moves out of nowhere and take a loss off of them

Background Info
Bio: Finn Kühn was born in Frankfurt, Germany to a lower-class family who struggled to make ends meet but did their best to provide a good life for their son. In order to try to have a better handle on such a dealing, Finn's father had taken a loan from an international crime family known as the Zemun Clan. Plans to repay them fell through, however, and instead Finn's family managed to use what they had left to emigrate to America and start anew.
Finn learned from that time that power was important - the power to try and protect others, the power to exert yourself... He would pursue that power by going into wrestling. It was a dream he held since he was young, and would find his entire life would soon become revolving around that, and would only become intensified as he found himself powerless yet again as his father suffered from Alzheimer's before passing away, and soon followed by his mother. Finn's relentless pursuit of power finally paid off as at the young age of 24, he was signed to an XWF contract.
Finn ultimately saw his contract and progress as an excuse to be lazy, and though his initial run in XWF showed promise at points and even managed to main event a Pay-Per-View, it was not strong enough to remain consistent and he ultimately lost his way before leaving the company of his own will. Finn's failures ultimately sent him into a depressive spiral, one that still partially persists to this day as he is incensed with trying to right his wrongs and become far better than what he had shown initially in the XWF.
Persistence and perseverance paid off however, as Finn was resigned in late August 2022. Though his win-loss record so far is a poor indicator as hovers above and dips below .500, Finn has been enjoying more success and has even begun main eventing shows again, and has even recently completely reinvented his moveset to try and go further. While his ongoing crusade to 'better' the industry of professional wrestling continues in the XWF, he was brought to the WGWF as a favor from Buster Gloves in exchange for helping his frenemy against the Chronic Chris Page Enterprises. With a brand new field of competition to try and better himself against, the sky seems to be the limit for Finn.
