PERSONALITY
For the majority of his long career, Scorpio was known as a quiet, grouchy and sometimes bitter journeyman wrestler, who didn't have a great deal going on outside of his work life. Scorp is intelligent, a wordsmith, but can also very easily be a blunt asshole. Although he has been a leader and a mentor more than once during his career, he has shown signs of being easy to control and manipulate, and there is a sense that his recent darker persona may well have more to it than meets the eye...
CURRENT ACCOLADE(S)
None
ENTRANCE THEME
"Underdog" - by Kasabian
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
The arena is bathed in a blue glow as Kasabian's "Underdog" hits. Before long, The Blue Scorpion has appeared at the top of the ramp, casting a disdainful look across the crowd. With a dark chuckle, he sets off down the ramp towards the ring, pausing occasionally to share a few choice words with certain members of the crowd.
Scorp slides into the ring under the bottom rope, rubbing his fists and cricking his neck from side to side as he gazes out across the arena. With another hollow smile, he raises a single finger slowly into the air, clearly relishing the mixed reaction, before bringing it slowly down and readying himself for the match ahead.
WRESTLING STYLE
Scorp is a student of the game - his style has a solid technical base, which nonetheless often gives way to that of a scrappy street fighter.
STRENGTHS
- Versatility. As previously mentioned, Scorp has the ability to mix his style based on his opposition, and is equally comfortable wrestling a pure technical masterclass as he is a violent brawl.
- Ruthlessness. Not known as "The Ruthless Patriarch" for nothing, Scorpio can be as aggressive and relentless as they come, often tenaciously focusing on an opponent's particular weak spot, physical or otherwise, over the course of a match.
-Ring Craft. Despite his ruthless persona, Scorpio also utilizes all of the tricks of the trade that have been amassed during his 25 years in the squared circle.
WEAKNESSES
- Physical Conditioning. Although in great shape for his age, there's obviously no getting away from the fact that Scorpio is well into his 40's. Particularly long, fast-paced or high intensity matches could take their toll on Scorpio from a pure physical standpoint.
- Heart Over Head. Despite his decades of ring craft and calculating persona, Scorpio has been known to allow his emotions to take over and cloud his otherwise sound judgment, both in and out of the ring.
- Safety First. Scorpio will rarely take huge risks in order to win a match and will seldom go to the top rope, preferring instead to ground down his opponent into submission or exhaustion. This unwillingness to go for the big move when his opponent is on the ropes has lost of matches in the past, and will likely continue to do so.

BIOGRAPHY
The Blue Scorpion is your typical journeyman veteran wrestler. He's been there and done it in most of the promotions throughout the world, although there was always a sense he never quite stuck around in one single promotion long enough to achieve his full potential...
Scorp was born Mitch Hall and raised in a reasonably well-off suburb outside Leicester, England. After a rather ugly spat with his parents, with his father in particular disapproving of his son's desire to get involved in the wrestling business, a 17 year old Scorpio moved to Atlanta, Georgia, feeling that his chances of succeeding in the wrestling business were greater 'across the pond'. Living alone on some of the meaner streets of Atlanta, Scorpio literally had to scrap to survive, and developed a battle-hardened persona of a man easily ten years his senior.
For the next decade, Scorpio bounced around several independent promotions, never really rising above the mid card, always seemingly with a chip on his shoulders. After returning from a failed trip to Japan, The Blue Scorpion stumbled across the Championship Wrestling Federation, or CWF. Here, he made a strong early impact, catching the eye of former Cyndicate stable member Danny B. Eventually, the two, along with Danny B's somewhat enigmatic leader Anubis, formed the Demons of Death, and went on to win the CWF Tag Team Titles within a month of their formation.
Along with Danny, Scorpio enjoyed a steady rise up the ranks in CWF, proving himself as a worthy singles wrestler as well as something of a tag team specialist. After an ugly split, the Demons of Death faced off in a violent culmination to their feud at CWF's flagship event, WrestleFest, with Scorpio coming out on top and taking possession of both Tag Team Title belts. Despite the success, The Blue Scorpion now had his sights set on 'The Big One', the World Title belt which had been vacated following Cain's departure from the company. A tournament was organised to decide the new champion, and everything pointed to a Jace Valentine/Blue Scorpion final. Thus, the two engaged in a very bloody, incredibly personal feud, culminating in an incredible Bloodbath match at CWF ReAwakening, with The Blue Scorpion coming out of the other side as the new CWF World Champion.
Jace would get his revenge a month later. The Blue Scorpion would go on to win CWF Tag Team gold once again as part of The Trinity stable, before going on to a staff role within the company. Returns to the ring were always rumoured, but Scorpio bowed out of CWF just weeks before the company itself was reduced to a shell of its former glories.
Following his departure from CWF, the only company where he had felt truly at home, Scorpio's mental state began to deteriorate. He became embroiled in several different 'CWF Invasions' across several different promotions, all of which were ultimately unsuccessful. His repeated clashes with Danny B, usually psychological but occasionally physical, served only to increase his lust for the feeling of acceptance of success that he had only ever enjoyed as part of the Demons in CWF. Family became concerned, friends began to dwindle, as Scorpio took on a much darker persona to that of the grizzled veteran looking for one last hurrah.
Little is known about Scorpio's personal life, something which he has constantly seemed reluctant to acknowledge in great detail. Aside from an uncomfortable reunion with his estranged father and the occasional love interest, Scorpio has devoted his life solely to wrestling. Thus, when wrestling was taken away from him following his forced departure from the last federation he was a part of (GWR), perhaps it was only inevitable that he would retreat into himself, and turn into the dark, bitter and brooding loner that now seeks out another place that he can call home...
