Entrance: Entrance: *The previous opponent's theme flitters out into the roar of the audience, atmosphere throbbing in anticipation of the biggest match of the night. The camera pans the crowd, waving all manner of signs in appreciation or denigration of the competitors. The match everyone has been waiting for is about to unfold. Darkness befalling the seats, smoke gushing from every corner and crevice of the active zone, buzzes of bass rise and fall. No sooner have the guitars set in, than the enter arena is on their feet.*

KEEP MYSELF RIDING ON THIS TRAAAAIN!!
I'M THE UNDERDOG!!
LIVE MY LIFE ON A LULLABY!!

*The curtains are torn apart with the utmost of physical menace, as the re-vitalised and prepared 'Underdog' approaches the fight of his life. The more traditional black trunks replacing his formerly favoured cut-off jeans, and the re-instatement of elbow and knee protection, there is no question than Carlisle is thoroughly committed to emerging victorious.
Announcer: And finally! Fighting out of the Valleys of Tennessee, originally from Yorkshire, England! He weighs in at approximately 221 pounds, three-time and reigning World Wrestling Alliance Champion! He is the Hollywood Conman, the Underdog, this... is... JONATHAAAAAN CAAAAAAAAAARLIIIIIIIIISLE!!
*Though mixed, the response is deafening, and by all accounts an undeniable encouragement to the entrant. He makes his way to the ring, bypassing his legions of fans and critics. His goal simple, his aim well-defined. Be Gods on his side or not, he shall not leave the night unsuccessful. He rubs both hands together in the final stages of his ringside descent, and hastily hops over the ring ropes. A brief moment of tension ensues, but is brushed quickly aside as Carlisle thrusts his arm up, then makes a simple belt gesture around his waist. The referee nods and steps back, signalling to each man to ensure they are ready for the bell. No objections, and he spins to point to ringside. The bell echoes out. Let bedlam begin...*

Misc Information Personal Quote: N/a Previous Feds: WWA only (on this char)
Career & Personal History Born in Yorkshire to a Scottish father and local mother, he grew up lacking any substantial education, or any drive to better himself through educational means - in spite of his natural brightness. His mother having left at a young age, and his father juggling a minor criminal's career with his various addictions left little parental attention. Naturally growing up to be a socially-awkward teenager, he delved into various less-than-legal activities, which he pursued into adult life. After several short stints in prison, he began to focus his attentions on his declining physical shape, quickly developing himself into quite the athletic and lean individual. A short spell in WWA's FNTC (Far North Training Camp) followed, before he was pulled immediately to the main roster and established himself as a major star. At a similar time, his various side projects took an unexpected upward turn - at present, outside of wrestling, he is the frontman of popular British/American band WATERinSTONE, has performed in several low-budget films, and is working on an autobiography. Enjoying top feuds against the company's top branded athletes, he since February 2007 he has racked up three World Championships and a European Championship. However, things have not come easily - throughout 2008, during a spell of prolonged hiatuses and no-shows, his mental and physical health took a turn for the worse. Even throughout rehab, he appeared on WWA television in short stints, his real personal issues being warped into a perverse "persona". After recovering well during the first half of 2009, he made a surprise re-appearance following a Triple Threat match, and returned fully to WWA two months later. By time of writing, approaching the end of 2009, certain tensions have worn thin with his home federation, and the appeal of a landmark switch to the EWC is strong. Could Jonathan Carlisle, one of the biggest names in Pro Wrestling today, betray the World Wrestling Alliance to join a rival promotion?
