SCW Adrenaline Championship
Regan Street vs. Ravyn Taylor
The match contracted by Mr. D himself. Regan Street will challenge Ravyn Taylor for the SCW Adrenaline Championship. Both Regan and Ravyn are confident wrestlers, but a lot of questions loom in the background. Is this a make good match for Regan after a second half of 2018 that has left her frustrated after one of the biggest wins of her career? Is this transparent sabotage of Dark Fantasy? Or will something else take place when Regan and Ravyn clash on the first Breakdown of 2019?
 
Alexis Quinne & Datura vs. Ace Marshall & Cassidy Carter
Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter are hardly friendly forces to Katya and given their attitude, hardly to win many friends. That said, Datura is focused on Regan Street, as she also tries to work with Alexis Quinne in this tag team founded on respect starts to make waves. Rumour has it that Katya herself made this match to truly test the actual number one contender to the SCW World Title, Cassidy Carter, and Ace Marshall has a history with Regan Street.
 
Marie Jones & Kimberly Williams vs. The Brotherhood of the Sith (Dustin Adams & Andrew Raynes)
A match we can confirm was booked by Katya. Marie Jones will rebound from facing Sienna Swann and failing to obtain the World Championship by teaming with her twin sister against a former rival who may not be happy that he’s not teaming with Bree Lancaster. Given Andrew Raynes comments toward SCW management and more, there’s plenty underlying this standard tag match.
 
Chris Cannon vs. Kennedy Street vs. Owen Cruze
Three allies and they’re facing each other. Katya herself booked this match as well as she looks to put her stamp on things. We doubt this is only for competition and we expect something far more nefarious underlying this one.
 
Alistaire Allocco vs. Donovan Kayl
Alistaire Allocco wants to compete fairly. He’ll go up against one of the most experienced grapplers on SCW’s roster, but also someone who has placed themselves against Dark Fantasy. Glory Braddock we’re sure will be watching this one as Kayl and Allocco clash on the first Breakdown of 2019.
 
Abigail Lindsay vs. The Superhero
Abigail Lindsay tried to get Ravyn Taylor’s attention by paying our friendly neighbourhood Superhero to interfere in her affairs. Now, revenge seems to be on the docket as Abigail will need to face the Superhero. But why would they compete against each other? Will a stipulation of some sort be added to this match?
 
Gigi Steward & Maddy Steward vs. Kandis & Scarlet Grey
Stemming from the End of the Year Special, Kandis makes her SCW roster debut by teaming with Scarlet Grey to face Team Desire 2.0. Booked by Sasha D, it will be interesting how Scarlet Grey reacts to teaming with someone besides Ruby Amarant in this contest. Meanwhile, Gigi and Maddy have plenty of reasons to want revenge.
 
SCW Television Championship
Tommy Valentine vs. Derek Adonis
Tommy Valentine has had a bit of a mean streak and in his last match, he defeated one half of the Tag Team Champions. Apparently, that got someone’s attention (Sasha) who gave Tommy a shot at Derek Adonis and the SCW TV Champion. Can the KABLAMing champion keep his reign going?
 
Jordan Majors vs. Max Kane vs. Konrad Raab
Jordan Majors was impressive at the End of the Year Special. On Breakdown, she faces a couple of interesting opponents in Max Kane, the thorn in the side of the Network, and Konrad Raab, who has put forward his efforts to stand against Katya’s corruption. Could this be Katya’s way of getting rid of two problems?
 
Casterillo in action
Casterillo demanded a match to bounce back from his latest clash with Damian Angel and to send a message. Who will be brought in to face him and what will that message be?  

**CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Singles: 2 RP Limit; 2 RP Limit for Tag Team Matches
Deadline: Noon ET Tuesday, January 8, 2019
 




 
January 15, 2019**
Giovanni Aries vs. Damian Angel
In a match that has as much to do with eliminating rivals as anything else, Katya has booked this match two weeks out. Giovanni Aries and Damian Angel have both made clear their issues with SCW’s management or SCW as a whole and Katya by proxy. They’ll clash on Breakdown. Undoubtedly, some interesting individuals, such as Casterillo, may be watching.
 
Aaron Blackbourne vs. Bree Lancaster
Bree Lancaster will be defending her US Title against Selena Frost. But she’ll face Aaron Blackbourne, one of the future stars of SCW, by the looks of it, on Breakdown. In a match booked by Sasha, it will be interesting to see how this match goes for both stars of Supreme Championship Wrestling.
 
Sam Raine vs. Angelica Jones
Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner have some tag team aspirations and Angelica Jones holds the Tag Titles. It’s not hard to see what this match could be about.
 
Autumn Valentine vs. Katie Steward
Autumn Valentine has links to Dark Fantasy. Katie Steward obviously has links to Team Desire 2.0 and decisions made by both sides make them enemies. Tonight, they face in singles action.
 
Jake Starr vs. Bianca Evans
Bianca Evans has not been seen since she lost to Katie Steward. On Breakdown, she returns to face the Only Social Misfit Remaining. Bianca will be riled up and Jake Starr needs to get back to his winning ways as Tommy Valentine has taken the lead in his team. What will this mean come Breakdown?
 
Kellen Jeffries vs. Dante McCaffery
The Man God comes to SCW. But in a match, we believe booked by Sasha, he will face Dante McCaffery who right now is trying to work with Dark Fantasy and with the Beauty Factory and has a history with Kennedy Street. Could this be to help Kellen Jeffries make good with Kennedy Street, someone whom at one point he was engaged to?
 
SCW Television Championship
Dawn Lohan Vs. Derek Adonis/Tommy Valentine
Dawn Lohan will be next in line for a TV Title shot and we believe Sasha is the one who booked this opportunity, seeking to give Dawn an opportunity to get her feet under her in singles competition while her half-sister Abigail looks to get Ravyn Taylor’s attention. But who will she face? Her former friend (maybe more) in Tommy or the master of the KABLAMa Sutra?
 
“The Hellbilly” John Goddard vs. Peyton Rice
Katya ensured this match was filed and signed. Peyton Rice debuts on the SCW roster in a match that could put her young career in jeopardy against the debuting Hellbilly, John Goddard.
 
**Card subject to change
 
Singles: 1 RP Limit; 2 RP Limit for Tag Team Matches
Deadline: Noon ET Tuesday, January 15, 2019

I would like to have this show off, because the 9th is Birthday and I want to make sure I have enough to polish everything up for my EMERGE rp that is due a couple days later.

Sorry Olek for such the late notice.

http://www.supremecw.com/results/ppv/eoty2018.htm

Like every year, we all put in what our goals and targets are, but thought to add plans in this year as I realised some of you may not have targets or goals to achieve, but got plans for what you want to do in 2019. Let's hear what goals and/or plans and/or targets are for this year.

The show will likely not be up tonight and I'm going to aim for tomorrow. That will depend on how much writing time I can get tomorrow as I'll be at my fiance's family for part of the day. I had hoped to have it on time, but my work outside of the fed took more time than I had wanted (had to finish an article for a project today). Cards will be up shortly after too.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestler's Alias: “Heartless” Rupert Adell
Wrestler's Real Name: Rupert Adell
Pic Base: Pete Dunne
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 200 lbs.
Birthdate: 1-11-1996
Birth Place: Boston, Massachusetts
Current Residence: Boston, Massachusetts

Physical Description:
Rupert doesn’t look too imposing at first glance, but just because he doesn’t look like he’s jacked for a guy his size doesn’t mean he’s not capable of inflicting some serious punishment. His blonde hair, once neatly kept short and tidy, has now grown out to be shoulder length and fairly messy since his transition into the Heartless, though when his hair is flipped back you can see signs of a buzzcut in places beneath where the hair hangs, indicating a bit of an internal debate on how he truly wants to present himself while he’s like this. His wrestling attire consists of full-length black tights that have “HEARTLESS” in red scratch lettering down both legs. On the front left side of the tights is the Heartless emblem from the Kingdom Hearts games while on the back is the King of Hearts playing card except with a big X cut through it corner-to-corner. He also wears black boots, a heavy amount of black wrist tape (to give him plenty to work with if he needs to use it for obvious rule-bending purposes) and black elbow pads that also both have the Heartless emblem from the Kingdom Hearts games on the back.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CHARACTER NOTE: Because of the issues he faced in his previous fed in dealing with the backstage politics of a Kliq-like group for the majority of his time there (see the bio below for full details), Rupert’s personality and outlook on the wrestling business has shifted towards a more “all about me, I’m the only person I can rely on” attitude. He doesn’t care what kind of prize is at stake, he WILL NOT accept being in tag matches or form any alliances with anybody for any reason. Because these antics went beyond simply being purely a character thing, I will even go as far as intentionally no-showing any such matches to help sell this as the character has no reason to willingly just let this go that easily, and I’m still not at a point yet where I can go back to fully trusting in relying on someone else for a match or how my character’s portrayed, which is also why I’d like to request, at the very least, that if I stick around any matches this character’s involved in ARE NOT also written by the person handling my opponent. Even if they’re a trustworthy writer, I’ve been burned by people’s egos in this game on that front too many times over the past few years to take any chances. Maybe this is a bit selfish, but if you go through some of the B.S. I’ve put up with for far longer than I honestly should have, you’d be a little hesitant to suddenly put your faith in others all over again too.


WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: Rupert is a very balanced wrestler capable of doing just about anything asked of him, although the power game is a bit of a weak point when tasked with facing much larger individuals. The most important thing to note, however, is that this “Heartless” incarnation of Rupert is extremely aggressive and vicious, doing his best to never give his opponents a moment to breathe or wasting any openings. He’s not shy about bending the rules or trying to brutalize an opponent before the bell where he can get away with the kind of assault that would get him disqualified after it rings. Think how Chris Jericho’s been operating in New Japan (except greatly tone down the arrogance) and you’ve pretty much got this man in a nutshell.
Alignment (Face/Tweener/Heel): Heel
Years Pro: 4
Primary Finisher: The Void (Powerbomb dropped into a Double Knee Backbreaker)
*Rare Finisher: Crowning Moment (Swinging Reverse STO)

*This finisher is rare only because it was Rupert’s original finisher when he was known as “The King of Hearts.” He still keeps it in his arsenal, but for the most part it’s been all but abandoned in favor of The Void. Take note that if Rupert does decide to use the Crowning Moment, it’s a sign of desperation in a longer match where The Void has failed to end it at least once or twice already and he’ll use whatever he has, even buried deep in his arsenal, to try and end things. This, by no means, guarantees the Crowning Moment will get the pin, just that Rupert is digging deep to try and find a solution to scoring the win. Beyond this situation, try to ignore that the Crowning Moment even exists in this application.


Signature Moves:
Beheading (Rope Hung DDT)
Sword Arts (Straight Jacket Neckbreaker - stolen finisher from longtime rival Zero)
Stack the Deck (Over-the-shoulder Belly-to-back Piledriver/Sheamus’ White Noise)
Awakening (Superkick)

Theme Song: “The Encounter” by Yoko Shimomura

Common Moves:
German Suplex
Clothesline
High Knee, sometimes to an opponent seated in the corner
Slingshot DDT to opponent on the apron
Diving Elbow Drop
Vertical Suplex (will sometimes drop opponent in a Brainbuster instead)
Vicious barrage of punches, elbows, knees, kicks and stomps to an opponent in the corner
Step-Up Enzuiguri
Double Underhook Backbreaker
Moonsault (will often perform onto his opponent’s back instead of their chest, but he isn’t picky as long as he can land the move)
Triangle Choke
Boston Crab (will often slowly transition into the elevated variation where he can bury his knee into his opponent’s shoulders or the back of their neck)
Cloverleaf
Joint Manipulation (the finger bending and snapping that guys like Pete Dunne and Marty Scurll employ in their matches)
Exploder Suplex
Any form of blatant cheating he’s able to get away with in a match

Strengths:
Very vicious and aggressive, always looking to maintain any advantage he gets even if it means causing an injury that he can constantly exploit as a match progresses.
Can be dangerously smart about how he bends the rules or unleashes his aggression (usually before a match where most of it is “still technically legal”) in order to gain any sort of advantage he can get.
If his former nickname was any indication, despite now being “Heartless” this man still possesses an incredible heart and fight that is hard for anyone to match, making it extremely difficult to keep him down no matter how much you throw at him or how much the fans just want to see him be put down and stay there.

Weaknesses:
His size can often hinder him when it comes to how he goes about a match, especially being able to put away much larger opponents with The Void.
Despite how crafty he can be in doing it, it’s still possible his aggressiveness or willingness to often bend the rules to gain the upper hand can see him lose by DQ instead.

Entrance:
“The Encounter” by Yoko Shimomura begins to play as the Tron shows the King of Hearts playing card, then after a moment an X is sliced into it corner-to-corner, causing the card to fall to pieces. From here, clips of the now-Heartless Rupert Adell begin to play as the man himself marches out onto the stage, a look of determined anger in his eyes as he carries the bloodstained ION World Championship along in his right hand. He pauses on the stage to take a look at it, reminding himself of where he once was and where he wants to be again, before he storms down the ramp, giving the fans zero attention regardless of whether they boo him or cheer in hopes that the Rupert of old may one day return. He aggressively circles the ring, carelessly tossing the ION World Title belt to the timekeeper with a stern glare before he rolls into the ring and stands tall in the center, slamming his fist into his chest once before shaking his head and moving to stand in his corner, the look in his eyes making it clear he wants to get this match started right now.

Biography:
Rupert Adell was no different from most young people dreaming of getting into the wrestling business. He was a good kid and worked hard in school and athletics, and once he was out of school he went straight into training, busting his ass day in and day out until he was finally ready to get in front of a crowd and compete. He bounced around for a little bit between several smaller promotions until he finally landed his first solid contract for ION Championship Wrestling, a wrestling organization that operated as one of the many sports endeavors under the umbrella of ION (International Operations Network), a global conglomerate with no real specialty that would manage and operate anything they could use their vast reach to promote in order to rake in the money.

Rupert certainly showed a lot of promise in his debut match for the company, wrestling ICW veteran Delmaru to what would be only the third (and coincidentally, final) draw in company history. Impressed by this, for his second match he was challenged to a non-title bout by Zero, the company’s reigning World Champion and regarded by many as the greatest overall athlete under the ION umbrella. To the shock of everyone, Rupert would upset Zero to score his first official win in the company, giving his stock a massive boost as this kickstarted an undefeated streak that would last for two months as he clawed his way towards the top of the company’s *rankings. At the next pay-per-view, however, Rupert would suffer his very first defeat as he was dominated by the dark figure known as Seraphim. It was at this point he learned that there was a Kliq-like group backstage referring to themselves as the Elites that consisted of Zero, Seraphim, Custos and James “Platinum” Howler that exploited the lack of desire from the Board to serve as a constant set of authority figures to manipulate bookings in their favor, and Rupert was told point blank that he only defeated Zero because Zero decided to be nice (as he had a habit of only showing his full potential during World Title matches, and even then he was prone to throwing them to give up the title when he got bored of being champion to resume being the hunter as opposed to the hunted), and the squash by Seraphim was their way of making sure this “hot new talent” didn’t get too high on himself thinking he had a future that didn’t run through them.

After a losing streak that followed in the wake of this loss for a few months before he managed to stabilize his record and snap it, Rupert had his first opportunity with World Title implications in the form of the new Challenge Series tournament, a two month long round robin tournament (that would only break for pay-per-views to operate by the rankings as normal) where the winner would get a floating World Title shot to cash in at any point in the next year (with one week’s notice so the match could be properly promoted). Rupert’s fortunes were not kind to him, however, as three members of the Elites ended up in his group and they abused their booking stranglehold to all defeat him en route to ensuring at least two of them advanced to the semi-final matches from their group. The finals would ultimately come down to Zero and Howler with Zero, still reigning as World Champion, overcoming his fellow Elite to secure the floating title shot, essentially gaining extra protection for his title reign. Rupert wouldn’t stay down for long, though, as the first pay-per-view following the end of the Challenge Series saw him at the top of the rankings as he got his very first World Title shot. Zero, however, proved the prior warnings of the Elites true as he wrestled on an entirely different level from the last time they’d met months ago, easily dismantling the kid and scoring two straight falls to retain what was becoming his longest World Title reign to date.

Over the course of the next two years, Rupert would continue to compete with the company, earning the love and respect of the fans with his heart and determination no matter how much he found himself having to overcome the backstage politics of the Elites, earning the nickname “The King of Hearts” in the process. In that time span, he would earn at least three more World Title shots but would fall short in all of them, one being against “The Emerald Knight” Alexander Bastion while the other two were title rematches with Zero in subsequent reigns of his, though in the second of these Rupert gained a lot of attention backstage (as well as even more heat with the Elites) when he became the first wrestler ever to take a fall off Zero in a World Title match where the man was actually going all out to retain his gold. He did, however, gain at least one title reign during this time, teaming with the aforementioned Bastion (who was fresh off of turning face after growing sick of being a heel and teaming with Seraphim as the Paragons of Darkness, again due to more Elites backstage politics) to become Tag Team Champions for a time, though they would end up vacating the belts when Bastion was sidelined with an injury that would put him out of action for up to a year.

Throughout the second half of 2017, Rupert would find himself in his best position yet as not only was he once again finding the same rhythm he had when he first debuted as he tore through the rankings, but the backstage stranglehold of the Elites had also finally been curbed when the Board at long last began to step in to put a stop to it, the ensuing issues seeing Seraphim and Zero (fresh off the end of his fourth World Title reign now that he was growing sick of the loss of control he had backstage) leave the company while Custos and Howler began to stumble without their safety net. Heading into December, it was clear from the start that unless he asked for time off Rupert was going to end the year with another shot at the gold as no one could overtake him even if they won every match throughout the month. Any excitement he had for this prospect, however, immediately soured when Zero unexpectedly returned during the previous months’ Challenge Series and went on to win it, immediately cashing in his title shot and ripping the belt away from new champion Kevorn only a week after he’d won it to begin his record-breaking fifth reign with the belt. When the pay-per-view came, fans were left in complete shock in the presence of a rare double-turn as Zero’s usual arrogance and seemingly unstoppable “100% effort” crumbled in the face of Rupert throwing all regard for rules and morals out the window as he used every trick in the book on top of a ruthless and aggressive onslaught, his anger and frustration for how Zero and the Elites had treated him backstage since he arrived finally boiling over. When the dust had settled, Rupert had finally won the World Title and even picked up a clean 2-0 win over Zero despite him actually going all out (something that was widely considered to be impossible even if you were the de facto greatest wrestler of all time), the onslaught actually leaving Zero injured and deciding to retire following the match.

For the first half of 2018, Rupert took on the new nickname of “Heartless” as he continued this behavior, not caring about anything other than being World Champion and continuing his vicious assaults even in non-title matches, quickly gaining a new reputation as numerous other wrestlers were injured and several more simply quit the company after being swept by him in their World Title bids. Rupert ultimately became the second longest reigning World Champion and one of its most dominant as no one was able to take a fall off him, but the damage he was causing came with a price as the dwindling roster (with those left saying Rupert’s behavior was far worse than even Zero and the Elites’ backstage politics) ultimately caused ION to shut down the ICW venture, making him its final World Champion. This was demoralizing to Rupert as he was now out of a job and any new place he went to would see him starting from the very bottom all over again, though he refused to accept the blame for causing this in the first place.

As he sat on the sidelines for most of 2018 trying desperately to find a solution to his problems, Rupert stumbled across Supreme Championship Wrestling, and kept an eye on the company and its talent. When he heard about the open invitational they hold during their End of the Year Special event, he decided this was the perfect opportunity to make the kind of statement that brought him infamy near the end of his run with ION and their wrestling events and hopefully propel him into immediate “top threat” status. Now, exactly one year to the day when this once starry-eyed young talent became the “Heartless” force of nature he is now, Rupert arrives in SCW with the ION World Championship as a memento of what he’s done and a warning to all who oppose him of what he’s capable of, all in the name of reaching the top of the mountain by any means necessary.


*It should be noted that unlike most wrestling promotions where final say on matches, especially for titles, belongs to whoever is the boss, ION Championship Wrestling operated under a very strict points system as a means of keeping the ION Board of Directors (who ran the wrestling company but also had their attention divided on all their other projects as well) out of these decisions as much as possible. Matches would be booked at random throughout the month’s shows with the winner earning two points while the loser earned none, and the rare draw earned both competitors one point. At the end of the month going into the pay-per-view show, whoever had the highest point total would challenge for the World Title in a Best 2-out-of-3 Falls Match, while the remaining points rankings would determine who faced off for the rest of the card. In these cases, pay-per-view wins were worth four points, except for the “Triangle Matches” when there was an odd number of total active roster members, where the three competitors with the lowest points totals would do battle against one another in three separate back-to-back-to-back matches and winners earned two points per victory. In the event of a tie at the top of the rankings, the World Title challenger was determined by whoever had the better overall win percentage. The champion was exempt from the rankings but would still compete every week and be allowed to choose who they faced every week, not earning any points in cases where they won. The only exceptions to the points system (and the only time the World Title could be defended outside of pay-per-views) were the prize for the winner of the annual Challenge Series round robin tournament, which was a floating title shot that could be cashed in at any time with one week’s notice (so the match could be promoted), and the ION Interregional Championship, the company’s secondary title division established about a year after Rupert’s debut for newer talent and those with “less than stellar” win-loss records in the company. If the Interregional Champion could clear five straight successful defenses with the title (essentially hold it for five months straight), they had the option of vacating the title in exchange for an immediate World Title match (again, with one week’s notice) and moving up to the World Title division regardless of the outcome.

*This is a character that, for the time being, is only going to be here for the Open Invitational match. I might consider bringing her back in the future or giving her a try down in Emerge... just something I thought might be fun to do to help kind of expand a tiny bit on the family of Aaron Blackbourne's girlfriend Liane and how they may play roles in his CDs (and hers if she ever ends up competing again) down the line.




-----------------------------------
PERSONAL INFORMATION
-----------------------------------

Name: Lane Forte
Pic Base: Keira Knightley (short hair)
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 135 lbs.
Birthdate: July 11, 1995
Birth Place: Royal Oak, Michigan
Current Residence: Royal Oak, Michigan

Physical Description: Lane is Caucasian with short brown hair (a preference to avoid having to tie it up whenever she does anything athletic) and blue eyes as well as a few freckles on her cheeks. She doesn’t come off as curvy as her sister Liane, instead having a more athletic build that’s not overly ripped for a female, but makes it clear she’s not one to easily be pushed around. In the ring she wears a women’s wrestling singlet (EXAMPLE) with two white lines going down the sides and a big white number 1 on both the front and back as well as black and white wrestling shoes and a red sweatband around her forehead. Usually outside the ring she can be found wearing sports shorts as well as some kind of sports jersey of hers, regardless of the sport it comes from.


WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: All-Around (Tends to focus a bit more on lucha libre inspired moves as that’s her favorite style of wrestling to watch and practice, but she’s very much capable of wrestling just about any style out there, including a surprising power style for someone her size.)
Alignment (Face/Tweener/Heel): Tweener w/ Face Leanings (Lane certainly means well, and some cheers can be expected just for being Liane’s sister, but she can also get a bit aggressive and arrogant owing to how long she spent as her high school’s biggest sports star)
Years Pro: 0 (Hard to tell, though, since she’s not only been training for a long time but was also a standout on her high school’s wrestling team along with every barrier she broke doing so in the process and she’s been watching countless different kinds of wrestling for most of her life)
Theme Song: “Sirius” by The Alan Parsons Project

Finishers: Lanesanity
Finishers Descriptions (If Needed): Gory Special transitioned into a Reverse STO aka Brian Cage’s Weapon X
Signature Moves: Moonsault Slam, Jumping Cutter, Tiger Bomb
Signature Moves Descriptions (If Needed):

Common Moves:
- Camel Clutch
- Elbow Drop (both standing and diving from the top rope)
- Fujiwara Armbar
- Diving Crossbody
- Soccer Kick to the chest of a seated opponent
- Powerslam
- German Suplex
- Spear
- Jumping Back Elbow to a cornered opponent
- Fallaway Slam
- Gutwrench Suplex
- Topé con Giro

Strengths:
+ Given that she’s a natural born athlete and didn’t hesitate to get into weightlifting at an early age to prepare herself for the countless sports endeavors she wanted to do, Lane is immensely stronger and faster than one might give her credit for based on her size. One could look at her as a female Cesaro, able to lift athletes that simply dwarf her in height and weight without breaking much of a sweat. She’s also able to keep up with athletes whose speed is their greatest asset with relatively little effort.
+ Because of the extensive amount of wrestling Lane’s both watched and practiced (often on her siblings) since childhood combined with her natural athleticism, she’s arguably one of the most balanced wrestlers to ever set foot in a ring. She can compete with any style at any level, and this often makes her a bit difficult to truly prepare for.

Weaknesses:
- One thing that’s always been a bit of a burden on Lane is the belief that she always has to be the best, bar none. It doesn’t matter if she’s up against a fierce rival or friendly competition, she will always go above and beyond to get the win. Not only can this backfire on her if she accidentally goes too far (not by means of rule-breaking as she’s very big on sticking to the rules at hand, but usually she might get a little too aggressive for her own good at times to reclaim the advantage), but she takes losing hard. She’s not exactly a graceful loser and any loss tends to shake her confidence quite a bit, which can hinder future performances.
- Because of the above-mentioned desire to always be the best, sometimes Lane can have a bad habit of getting a little self-centered in matches where she’s part of a team, always wanting to be the one to get the most in-ring time and score that winning fall. This can easily cause tension with teammates and even outright allow her to be easily exploited when she truly needs to tag out of a match.

Entrance:
The iconic opening of “Sirius” by The Alan Parsons Project begins to pump out over the PA system as a small display of laser lights creates the ring on the dimmed stage where, after a few moments, we see a figure walk into the center, hands rubbing together in anticipation. As the lights come back on, the pumped look of Lane Forte greets the fans as she begins jogging down the ramp, ready for the battle ahead. She slaps a few hands on the way down, but her focus and intensity is solely on the ring as she slides in under the bottom rope and quickly pops back to her feet, where she begins doing some light stretches to ensure she’s good to go.

Biography:
Born in Royal Oak, Michigan as the fifth child in a family that would ultimately total eleven kids, Lane Forte could just feel that she was destined for great things even at a young age. She found her calling in life early after becoming interested by all the different sports she found flipping through TV channels, and as she grew older and began to realize she might be the most athletically-gifted out of her numerous siblings, she made it her personal mission to become the absolute best at every sport she could play in, even if it meant kicking in a few doors in the process just because she was a girl. Baseball, football, roller derby, hockey, soccer, basketball… if it was legally defined as a sport somewhere in the world, you could guarantee she would find a way to both play it and master it without hesitation.

Perhaps the biggest downside to this, though, was that Lane developed a bit of an ego by the time she got to high school, and while she would ultimately graduate as arguably the single greatest sports player they’ve ever seen, many people -- especially her siblings -- weren’t too fond of her overly competitive nature in just about anything they tried to do together, nor her need to brag about how she would easily dominate them all no matter what they did because she was the best. She does deeply care for them and others, but it’s hard to notice at times beneath the competitive sports junkie she’s ultimately become.

Lane is one of the few Forte siblings that’s still at home despite being old enough to live her own life, choosing to stay local for her college endeavors because she refuses to be too far away just yet from the place where she’s seen as a sports megastar, especially since she’s become the sibling her parents have the highest praise for after several others have long since left following issues with their ways. It was from her love of watching wrestling (and a bit of a shocking heads-up from two of her older sisters) that she found Supreme Championship Wrestling… more specifically, the fact that her immediate older sister Liane, who’d long since been labeled the proverbial “black sheep” of their family by their parents, had broken into one of her dream sports ventures, albeit not entirely of her own volition, during the feud where she and her boyfriend, artist and pro wrestler Aaron Blackbourne, were contending with the tag team known as the Red Empire. Out of a mixture of envy that a sibling that wasn’t as sports-loving as she was and her deeply buried sisterly instincts at seeing some of the things Liane had to endure throughout this entire feud alongside her boyfriend, she decided to take advantage of SCW’s annual Open Invitational match taking place at their End of the Year Special to start making her own mark in the business, and maybe even show her older sister a thing or two for the future as well.
