Wrestling

Debut Year: 2016
Trained By: William ‘The Pacman’ Macca, Mark Storm.
Style:
1. Hybrid striker [KENTA]
2. Submission specialist [Zack Sabre Jr]

Strengths:
1. Style (he's a hard hitter, able to use any part of his body in order to knock his opponent down, this is something he had to be growing up in London otherwise he was going to be the one who was knocked down and out. As well as this, he's a skilled technician, mat based wrestling and submission wrestling also being an area of study for Liam.)

2. Smart (not only is he quite the looker, but he's smart, cunning and is able to deduce what his opponent is going to do next before they know. He's been studying the art for a long time, the art of deduction. But he's also able to find loopholes when trapped in submissions, or use his ring awareness to help himself out of a sticky situation.)

3. Resilient (hit him as hard as you like, this is only going to stir him on, somehow he gets stronger with every strike that connects, a heart of a burning junior heavyweight who doesn't know the definition of quit. Endurance also plays a part in this, he's able to go through unimaginable pain for a long duration of time.)

Weaknesses:
1. Temper (he's a small guy, and the stereotype is that small guys also have a short fuse, this is true in his case. If he doesn't like something, or someone pisses him off - he is going to lose his shit and not even his manager is going to be able to control him. This can lead to him being disqualified from matches, or losing focus, getting distracted from the main goal which is ultimately winning matches.)

2. Style (Richardson can become too invested in inflicting damage to his opponent rather than seizing the opportunity, which can allow openings for his opponents to counter particularly when giving them time to recover after a beatdown, wanting them to fight back).

3. Small (though he has got great strength, he is often smaller than his opponent, so they're able to perform power moves on him and toss him around the ring.)

Moveset

Common Moves:
1. Strikes (palm thrust, forearm, elbow, jabs, open palm, shoulder, uppercut, knife edge)
2. Kicks (roundhouse, drop kick, spin, overhead, bicycle, enziguri, shoot)
3. Armdrag take down transitioned into armbar
4. Side headlock slam onto the canvas, keeping the hold intact.
5. Hiptoss, cartwheeling afterward, claps his hand and basement drop kick.
6. Suplex variations (dragon, tiger, snap, german)
7. DDT variations (snap, springboard)
8. Snapmare followed by a kick to the back or a chinlock submission.
9. Submission variation (cobra, chinlock, camel, muta, kneebar, armbar, octopus, surfboard)
10. Consecutive clotheslines until point of exhaustion
11. Rolling fireman carry before springboarding his way onto the second rope, moonsault.
12. Lariat out of nowhere, flipping his opponent inside out if smaller.
13. Double leg take down followed by mounted strikes to the opponent.
14. Single leg take down which normally transitions into a single leg boston.
15. Drop toe hold
16. Hoisting his opponent up onto the top rope, claps his hands - drop kick, opponent falls on outside.
17. Running European uppercut
18. Spinning spinebuster in a sitout position
19. Flapjack which he then transitions into an ankle lock
20. Flying armbar

Signature Moves:
1. 'Rage of Glory' – Often performs this move out of nowhere or when he's back pedalling in the match, Richardson suddenly delivers a hard shoot kick to the thigh of his opponent who drops to a knee. Grabbing the back of his opponent's head, he delivers three consecutive knee strikes to the face before bringing his opponent back up and Irish whip into the ropes. He's quick, performing each move fast. He runs at his opponent, a hard back elbow to the head, with his back against his opponent - he drives each elbow back into his opponent several times, taking a step forward as his opponent stumbles out of the corner, before culminating the sequence with a sweet overhead kick.

2. 'Fuck Honour! ' – After being on the receiving end of some punishment, Richardson has stomached all of his pain and anguish, allowing it to take over his body. He blocks a strike attempt from his opponent before all of a sudden bursts into a frenzy of boxing strikes, closed fists - connecting all over the body of his opponent who can't answer the frenzy of strikes, defenceless as Richardson loses himself with his strikes. The one strike that does it all is right at the end, where he connects with a sickening right hook that knocks his opponent down to the canvas.

3. 'Senton Kick' – Leaning his opponent against the corner, he connects with two knife edge chops that echoes through the arena. His opponent stumbles out, clutching onto their chest and he runs to the ropes, bouncing off of them and running towards his opponent, a senton kick to his stationary opponent who crumbles to the canvas.

4. 'London's Calling!' – Combination of strikes followed by an enziguri

5. 'Standing Shooting Star Press'

Finishing Moves:
1. For Our Majesty! (Richardson signals the end of the match, a finger in the air and a stern look in his eyes. Pulling his opponent back up onto their feet, he lifts them up in a vertical base - managing to show brute strength as he holds them there before swivelling their body around as he brings them down, a modified brainbuster connecting.

2. Your Last Hurrah! (Modified double underhook guillotine choke)

Super Finishing Move:
1. Pending… (Description)
