Personal
Team Name: Bridgeport Gaines
Team Members: Geri Gaines & Ginny Gaines
Combined Weight: 302lbs.
Biography: Raised, as their nom de guerre might suggest, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, these redhaired firecrackers were born into wealth and convinced from infancy that they were due everything the world could give them. Taking their father's lessons to heart, Ginny and Geri graduated from (un)common playground bullies to bona fide Mean Girls, ruling the high school roost as cheer captains, and sharing joint honors as Prom Queen not once - but twice - due to their failure to graduate at the first attempt.
On finally passing the hump of standardized testing, it turned out their career options weren't exactly stellar, and they continued to flounder until the untimely death of their dearly supportive father. His business empire fell to ruins, leaving behind only a fat trust fund that - by itself - couldn't hope to measure up to the lofty ambitions of the Gaines heiresses. Desperate for validation and the chance to lord it over people definitely lamer and stupider than them, they turned their attention to professional wrestling.
Nobody can say they aren't athletic, or charismatic, but after being handed everything in life, their minimal training has done nothing to single out the Bridgeport Gaines for excellence. They just weren't prepared to go it in the big leagues, which is why they've found themselves sliding to the bottom of the trash heap - to Razor Wrestling. Their success remains, uh, limited.
As wrestlers, they're just a little more discernible than they are as creepily-similar siblings. Geri, the younger and more rambunctious, is the de facto brawler and the closest thing they have to a powerhouse. Ginny was always the top of the human pyramid, and proves it with some solid acrobatic talent that theoretically complements her sister's more smash mouth style. She's also the 'smart' one, for what little it's worth... Really, what's going to bring them any kind of success is their uncanny synergy and their stalwart refusal to believe the rules apply to them. Daddy may be dead and gone, but THE Bridgeport Gaines live on, and are determined to be relevant at anybody else's cost.
Character
Nickname(s): THE Bridgeport Gaines
Gimmick: Prissy, loudmouthed rich bitches with a silver spoon all the way up their backsides; as weak as they are conniving, as craven as they are completely convinced that daddy was right when he called them princesses. They've never succeeded fairly in their lives.
Alignment: Heel
Entrance Music: "The Greatest Show" by The Greatest Showman Cast
Signature Weapon: Anything. Everything. Also, AMEX.
Wrestling
Debut Year: 2021
Style: Cowardly Heels
Strengths:
1. They're sisters! It may not quite be 'twin magic', but their chemistry is undeniable. Practically psychic; they don't just finish each other's sentences, they say and do the same things in tandem.
2. Charm. They weren't blessed with much beside money and privilege, but they were blessed with good ol' Vitamin C(harisma). They can work a crowd, incite their opponents, and are particularly excellent at distracting the ref when...
3. CHEATING. If they can, they will, with impunity.
Weaknesses:
1. Arrogant, egotistical, utterly self-possessed. They believe they're considerably better than they are.
2. Actually, they suck at this whole wrestling thing.
3. Cowardly, cowering, sniveling wretches.
