In-Ring Name: Jim Caedus
Wrestler's Real Name: James (Jimmy) O'Connor
Wrestler Date of Birth: 2/12/1980 (age 43)
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 227 lbs
Hometown: Long Beach, CA/Billed from Naples Island, Long Beach, CA
Personality: Honest and true to his opinions through speech but as a heel prone to shady actions to achieve his short and long term goals. Jim maintained a strong and true sense of spirituality, honor and justice until a build-up of traumatic experiences warped his views. A man who used to make friends easily and strike up conversations with strangers now alienates and suspects, ready to respond with lethal force at the drop of a hat, possessing a very touchy gauge in context with what translates as disrespect. "Stubborn" isn't apt enough to describe his will and neither is "obsess". "Love" and "hate" pale in comparison to how Jim loves and how Jim hates and so do the words "despise" and, again, "obsess". "Grudge" is a silly word better applied to a horror film. To Jim, "V for Vendetta" comes closer to the mark. A lifelong problem with his inherited Irish temper mixes quite well with his once-latent-and-easily-stifled-now-present-and-easily-riled psychotic thoughts and tendencies, though Jim's pride, high intelligence, self awareness and crafty nature prevent him from truly psychotic behavior (at least in public) and consequently would also prevent him from pleading insanity in court should it become prudent. Strangers say he makes them feel uncomfortable and on edge. Close relatives say he makes them feel uncomfortable and on edge. Jim's mother would say he's a caring, cute, sweet, smart boy with tons of talent and potential but Jim's ex-girlfriends' mothers would say he's a vapid, crazy, sadistic, creep with tons of temper and potential for prison time.
Alignment: Heel/CCPE member
Looks Description: Short and muscular with long blonde hair, full beard and empty blue eyes. He has no tattoos, for reasons of necessity, but he does have scars: a 40ยฐ angle 2" slash between his eyebrows and a vertical surgical scar running from right knee to the first few inches of the top of his right foot as well as dual inch and a half ovoid frontal exit wounds midway down the shin left of the scar and the smaller entrance wounds on the back of the calf, right rear side.
Ethnicity: Irish-German American
Pic Base: Hangman Adam Page
WRESTLING STATS
Wrestler Type: Powerhouse/Brawler
Strengths: 1-A mental force of will and focus that defies all obstacles.
2-A level of biological toughness that has allowed Jim to survive anything that has come his way including a very real ambush murder attempt having no relation to wrestling by a man standing 6'9" and weighing 380 lbs.
3-Teamwork
Weaknesses: 1-A temper that can turn Jim from cool to crazy in a heartbeat and get him into legitimate trouble.
2-Trust. Going against the grain of his history with being stabbed in the back, Jim seems to have finally flipped that coin and now can be trusting to a fault, seeing potential good in most people, with few notable exceptions. This now raises vulnerability via betrayal once more. However, the horizon on stables and tag teaming with Jim has been raised to not only dependable but loyal af.
3-A very dark side. Coupled with his temper this is both by precedent and theory what has and can lead to Jim getting himself into trouble.
Entrance Video:
ENTRANCE: The now familiar opening notes to "Ready Steady Go" by Paul Oakenfold begin to blast from the PA moments before the ring announcer plugs. The fans erupt. As the spiel is unloaded the lights cut, plunging the arena in darkness before silver strobes begin to flash and silver spotlights begin to continuously wave from along the length of the entrance walkway to the crowd and back.
Obviously practiced and well-timed, the moment the announcer finishes, "ready, steady, g-g-go!" is let fly by the song's vocalist and silver pyro erupts from the egress. Before the cloud of smoke dissipates, Jim Caedus emerges as the house lights come up. His hair hangs freely, bandanna covering the majority of his face, his eyes absent of emotion as he surveys the crowd of cheering Caedus marks and smarks as well as the haters shouting insults, Fuck You and booing.
As the music continues he turns his attention to the ring and it's inhabitant(s) before advancing forward while carefully gathering his long blonde hair into a secured samurai-style bun. At ringside he removes his bandanna and scales the steps, ascending to the apron and stepping through the ropes into battle.
