PERSONALITY
Unlike Joey Z, Rocky is a calm and slick individual. His upbringing under a chill, soulful father made him into a man who wants to be as chill as Antarctica. Thus, he serves as a counter to Joey Z's exuberance and rambunctious attitude. He is not necessarily the straight man of the group, willing to crack jokes alongside his best friend, but he is, more so, the "serious" one. With the suave attitude, he tends to try to slide into your heart. Never to be disrespectful, Mama Red ain't raise no fool. In wrestling-wise, he is a respectful individual, realizing that there are people better than him. However, he does not take crap from anyone. Even more, he does not allow anyone to talk down to Joey Z. If you do, he will be on you like white on rice on a paper plate in a snowstorm.
CURRENT ACCOLADE(S)
High School Education (Honor Student)
Getting that college degree, though.
Not a virgin?
ENTRANCE THEME
"Billie Jean" - by Michael Jackson
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
As the iconic opening of "Billie Jean" picks up, Rocky Redding comes from the back, bobbing his head to the beat. As he stands at the gate, he raises his hands slowly into the air. He begins to clap his hands in rhythm, trying to the crowd behind him. When he succeeds (or fails), he begins to walk down the ramp. He snaps his fingers to the beat, doing a little dance on his way. He smacks the outreaching hands of fans, even trying to get some to dance with him. He gets into the ring, ascending the top turnbuckle.
Singing some of the lyrics (rather well, surprisingly), he continues to clap his hands, descending from the rope. After a while of dancing and singing, he begins to slip into a serious mood. He stretches his limbs and awaits his opponent to come out.
WRESTLING STYLE
Brawler, with slight powerhouse leanings.
STRENGTHS
1. Cleverness - Due to his general lack of true wrestling prowess, Rocky uses his wit to try to outmatch his opponent.
2. Heart - Due to being raised in the Bronx, Rocky has been in his fair share of street fights. Thus, he has a chin of a boxing champion. It will take a good minute to beat him down. He will even try to fight out of submissions as much as he can before having to tap or pass out. He might not be the best wrestler, but man, will he try to fight to the end of the day.
3. Fast Strikes - The streets of the Bronx taught a man many things, but one of them is to hit fast and hit hard.
WEAKNESSES
1. Never Give Up - This is a key weakness, because being resilience is one thing, but taking an ass whooping for too long can be hazardous.
2. Temper - This only applies against people that can get to him. The calmness leads to Rocky getting progressively angry. He internalizes it. This explodes eventually. The easiest way to get to this core is to insult or hurt Joey. Joey is his friend and he has to look out for him. Screw with his bro and you get broken. Joey also makes him mad for trying to look for trouble. It is never legit anger, but more so...brotherly anger.
3. Inexperience - Street fighting and slight boxing training is one thing, but wrestling is a whole other beast. He is receiving training as time goes along, but his basic knowledge does not mark up to some of VoW's best.

BIOGRAPHY
In most stories, the wrestler probably grew up watching wrestling and became so infatuated that they joined up. That was not completely the case with Rocky Redding. He did watch wrestling later on his life, but wrestling would come on when he was about to go to bed. Early flirtations were limited. Rocky grew up in the Bronx, a rough part of New York, with his buddy, Joey. These were inseparable. Joey declared himself the mouthpiece, yelling at anyone who dared try to step up. Rocky was the muscle or mediator, when the aforementioned Joey got in trouble. They were a duo that was set to do something. Well, when they got into college, they both got a better chance to experience wrestling. However, these two smarks decided that playing the wrestling games were not enough. VoW was a place that was on tour in their local area. So they got their crap together and went on to see if they could really "chase the dream" as actual dreamers call it.
