Finn McConnaigh
7 feet tall, 403 lbs.
Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts by way of Oban, Scotland
Gimmick: Aims to be the most dominant big man in the industry. He claims to be the only real-life Giant in wrestling, and the master of the Chokeslam. Do YOU wanna tell him different?
Rep: “The Warmaster” Josh Barnett
Appearance: His seven foot height is impressive, sure, but Finn is basically two people wide. His arms are the size of most wrestlers’ legs. His hands defy description; big doesnt even begin to cover them. Bright red hair decorates his impossibly large head, cut into a shoulder length mullet, and a full beard complete with plaited braids is featured on his craggy, friendly face.
Wrestling Attire:
Long black tights with a Terminator style skull screened on the right leg, the skull is chrome with maddened red eyes, bushy red eyebrows and a patchy red beard curled into a snarl.
Black forearm sleeves
Black boots
Black knee pads
Finishing Move: Stalling Chokeslam
Made more devastating by his size and strength. He will hold the opponent up in the air for a couple seconds before he drives them down. Finn will not successfully hit the Chokeslam unless he is going to win the match.
Signatures:
Sidewalk Slam
Big Boot
Military Press Drop
Style: Pure power. Finn is bigger and stronger than just about everyone he is in the ring with, and wrestles accordingly. Bullies you around the ring with very basic moves that hurt worse due to his stature.
Analog: The Giant/Big Show, Brian Clark, Kane
Personality: Friendly and outgoing with fans and other baby faces, and always willing to help another face in a pinch. However just because he is a nice guy doesn’t mean he tolerates bullshit. He treats heels with a heavy hand.
Entrance Music: Kataklysm - Goliath
Entrance:
The double bass thunder of “Goliath” by Kataklysm thunders over the PA as the entrance area fills up with smoke. A gigantic shadow is seen in the mist, striding through the curtain, and a roar meets the Manster himself as soon as he’s seen. He puts hands on hips, looks around the arena and smiles to himself, before pounding his chest and throwing up his arms in a dominant pose!
He heads for the ring with a purpose, letting his fans pound on his back and shoulders. Reaching out one big meat hook, he hauls himself onto the apron and easily steps over the top rope into the ring, counting to three for the fans before throwing his right hand up in the sign for the Chokeslam, causing pyro to ERUPT behind him and the lights to return back to normal. The fans can be seen throwing up the Chokeslam signal as Finn leans against the buckle, a look of focus on his face.
NAME: Owen McConnaigh
6’3”, 264 lbs.
Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts by way of Oban, Scotland
Rep: Luke Jacobs
Gimmick: Blue chipper, as in a “can’t miss” prospect. Combining elite mat skills with world class athletic ability, and his 7 foot tall brother and tag team partner Finn into a highly popular and very dangerous package. He also has a bit of a mouth. Think Bron Breakker combined with Jon Moxley
Personality: Abrasive but to those who deserve it, like a lovable foul mouthed uncle. Always feels like a fight, sometimes needs to be held back by his big brother Finn. All business with other baby faces.
Appearance: At 6’3”, Owen doesn’t look like a pro wrestler on paper but he showcases a strong physique with broad shoulders and thick legs. Fringe haircut cut with shaved sides, but his naturally bright red hair draws attention.
Attire:
No gear on upper body other than the left hand being taped.
Black brief cut, waist high trunks with a torn up Scottish flag on the back, and OWEN written below it.
Tall black boots
Black knee pads
Finisher: Bridging Leg Hook Back Suplex
Signatures:
STIFF European Uppercut (favorite strike)
Butterfly Superplex
Left arm Lariat
Style: Pro wrestling 101 - isolate a body part and beat the fucking shit out of it. Employing painful submission holds, precision strikes (punches with the left hand) and applied pro wrestling slams and manoeuvres, he does exactly this and with a calculated efficiency. He’ll even use every part of the ring to aid in his offense, using the apron, the steps, the ropes and the turnbuckles to spice up his offense.
Style Analog: Terry Gordy, Triple H, William Regal. Old school technical brawler.
Entrance Music: Jesus Piece - Gates of Horn
Entrance: << work in progress >>
Tag Team Bio
Team Name: The McConnaigh Brothers
Total Combined Weight: 667 lbs.
Entrance Music: Lamb of God & Kreator - State of Unrest
Tag Team Finisher: Highland Farewell - Chokeslam/German Suplex combo, Taue Kawada style.
Entrance:
A haunting bagpipe note begins playing over the PA system as the lights fade and bright spotlights focus on the entrance. Almost right away, Lamb of God and Kreator slam over the PA system. After the lyrics begin, Finn McConnaigh strides through the curtain, flanked by his brother Owen, who stand at the top of the ramp and knock fists before holding their fists up, with thumbs sideways, side by side to each other. Finn slaps Owen in the back of the head to get him going toward the ring. They head to ringside side by side, tagging hands with fans and talking trash to the camera before Owen slides under the bottom rope and Finn follows him in, stepping over the top. They repeat their ramp pose center ring, as the bright spotlights hit them again.
Favorite Moves:
Double Three Point Stance Tackle
Double Reverse Elbow
Backdrop into a Powerbomb
Big Boot/Sidewalk Slam Combo
Style: Owen always starts. In the early stages, Owen and Finn tag and double team as often as possible, cutting the ring into thirds. As the bout wears on Owen’s probably one of the best at the “face in peril”. His selling and bumping always makes for compelling wrestling. Finn is always the hot tag and comes in looking to lay waste to everything in sight.
