CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Disposition / Alignment: Neutral Evil
Brief Explanation of Character's Gimmick: Driven by an obsession to reach the pinnacle of EWC, the flash, flamboyance and grit of Cosmo Goldworthy remains. With that comes his asshole demeanor, as he's willing to do whatever it takes and strike any deals to get ahead of the game. In layman's terms, Cosmo Goldworthy is your cocky and arrogant heel that you love to hate. But he's deeper than that. Cosmo has a moral conscience just like everyone else - but more and more these days he's struggling to cope with the man he is. Plagued by loss and tragedy recently, there's more to Cosmo than his glamour; as he's willing to ground himself that matter to him: his hood, his mother and his House.

THEME SONG & ENTRANCE
Theme Music: 'Money On My Mind' – Lil Wayne
SHORT ENTRANCE: The arena plunges into darkness as the electric beat of "Money On My Mind" reverberates throughout the building. Gold and white lines then strobe throughout the building as the EWC United States Champion Cosmo Goldworthy swaggers out with his manager Dimitri Graves towing behind with a sinister smirk on his face. Cosmo opens up his Louis Vuitton jacket to show off the United States Championship around his waist, the gold glistening under the arena lights as he struts down the ramp. Cosmo slides in, climbing the top rope and raising the Too Sweets up high for everyone - as regardless of if you're with The House or against them, noise is being made from every corner of the building. Cosmo drops off the top rope, removing his jacket and championship; handing both to Dimitri outside.
MAIN EVENT / PPV ENTRANCE: TBA
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Tendency to Cheat (Delete ALL that do NOT apply):
- [x] Often
Motivation to Compete (Delete ALL that do NOT apply):
- [x] Financial Gain; they want to get rich and will do anything to achieve that.
- [x] Glory; they are obsessed with winning and will stop at nothing to avoid defeat.
- [x] Going for Gold; all they care about are title belts and winning them. They want to be the best.
- [x] Upbringing; Cosmo is doing this for personal greed as stated, but also to honor his mother for her sacrifices and make sure no one in his family ever has to work again (hence why he's willing to take any route possible & is very loud-mouthed)
Favorite Match Types: 2/3 Falls, Iron Man, Pure Rules
Least Favorite Match Types: Steel Cage, Hell In A Cell, Deathmatch
Favorite Weapon: 24k Gold Brass Knuckles (gifted to him by "The Elite Chris Page) [see 24K Magic finisher]
Fighting Style: Kick Boxer
Ring Strategy: Despite his gaps in experience, Cosmo Goldworthy has already developed into something of a wrestling prodigy. Stemming from his kick boxing background, he's already developed a great IQ on his striking game and often uses it to beat into his opponents' body and legs and forces them to find other ways to reach them. Cosmo is naturally quick on his feet, so he dictates the match at his own pace whilst using his overall striking game. Since he still needs work in slams, he can still hit big moves like suplexes and such - but often takes advantage by raking the eyes, pulling the hair, etc of his opponent. Cosmo doesn't play clean unless absolutely forced to do so. Since he's gotten quite close to mastering the pace of his matches week-to-week, he's currently improving his submission game and has already shown ability to ground his opponents (i.e. his match with El Pablo in Pure Rules at House Party).
In-Ring Strengths: Strong Striking, Very Elusive, Great At Mindgames
In-Ring Flaws: Improving but Flawed Submission Game, Overconfidence, Work On Slams

2. Gold Rush

[NEVER BEEN KICKED OUT OF, WILL PROBABLY STAY THIS WAY. THIS IS COSMO'S STRONGEST FINISHER]
[NEVER BEEN KICKED OUT OF, WILL PROBABLY STAY THIS WAY. THIS IS COSMO'S STRONGEST FINISHER]
3. 24K Magic
Superman Punch (But the catch is that he only does it with his trusty 24k karat gold brass knuckles).
Mostly done in situations against tougher opponents where he absolutely needs to abuse the rules, or in matches with a No-DQ stipulation, but even then, he would probably try to exhaust the Gold Mine first, at the very least.
SF. Cosmology
Pole Shift Emerald Flowsion
In Cosmo's biggest and toughest matches, he will pull this out if all other options has been exhausted and he has absolutely no choice. Considering the energy being exerted to execute this, especially in the late stages of the match - it's not a shocker if attempts are initially blocked, hence where his strikes come in to soften his opponents up (after the other finishers haven't worked).
Signature Moves:
1. Ready To Die
Tornado Kick (Much like the Trouble In Paradise)
2. C.R.E. (Cash Rolls Everything)
Rolling Elbow
3. Cash Cow
Mushroom Stomp
4. The House Special (adopted from JoJo Rush)
Standing Inverted Texas Cloverleaf
..
Common Moves
1. Lariat
2. Charging Back Elbow
3. Pendulum Backbreaker
4. Back Suplex
5. Dropkick

9. Savate Kick
10. Axe Kick
11. Question Mark Kick
12. Barrage Of Punches

BIOGRAPHY
Born to a single mother in Oakland (whom eventually moved them to San Francisco), life wasn't very easy for Cosmo. At a young age he was immediately taught to fend for himself in ways that a boy his age simply couldn't comprehend. Despite his financial struggles, Cosmo found himself enamored by fashion, which eventually played a big role in the kind of man he's become. While his flashy clothing and attitude, and flamboyant and sometimes off-putting outfits may paint a different picture of him, it's the complete opposite. Cosmo is a tough, with a hard shell - which comes from his dual-sport days in high school, playing both basketball and football at a varsity level. Even though he loves the saying "work smarter, not harder" - Cosmo knows when to get his hands dirty and when not to, thus being a tough competitor for anyone. Fueled by success, Cosmo wants to reach the pinnacle to pay back his mother for her sacrifices; and cash in on the benefits at being at the top to add to his fashion portfolio, live up to the nickname "Money Mo", and to get back at anyone who's ever doubted him in his life. There's room for growth and improvement for Cosmo the person, especially with his upbringing, but instead he's going off years of pent up rage and aggression. He lets that loose in and out of the ring, where his opponents may be subject to vicious physical and verbal attacks.
Employing what was used to him; Cosmo's ability to get in the head of his opponents has helped carry him to success, as his impressive debuting win streak, along with his first PPV victory over Jason Anderson and Cassie Wolfe at Scars & Stripes helped people take notice of Cosmo, and netted him an appearance as part of Team Rampage at PARABELLUM 2023, where he made it to the final five and pinned highly acclaimed EWC superstars like the now-retired Rebel Rhodes and longest reigning X-Division Champion El Pablo. Continuing his string of victories with tag/trio victories alongside cousin Bruce Booth and a win at Destruction in Dimitris II, Cosmo rode a wave of momentum into his first singles PPV match and title shot at Night Of Champions, where he defeated Andrea Hernandez to become the new HBO Broadcast Champion. After embarking on a nine match undefeated streak, Cosmo took his first loss in tag team action to 3pAC. Despite that, his singles undefeated streak continued. Cosmo quickly bounced back by joining The House and defeating Shinijoshi alongside cousin Bruce, and Jamie Love. Cosmo's stock has risen since joining The House, making the final four of the EWC Rumble and winning the 2023 EWC Trios Tournament alongside Bruce Booth and Jamie Love of House Money. Cosmo's momentum as part of the most dominant faction in the EWC skyrocketed as he defeated Moxie to become number one contender, then the legendary Scorpio in his second-to-last match on Prime. After losing his first singles match ever to Ibuki Ito, the same man who pinned him at Parabellum - it was a learning experience that helped Cosmo grow, as he went on to defeat fellow Housemate and dominant International and X-Division Champion, JoJo Rush.
Cosmo Goldworthy ended up on a two match losing streak to The Mercenary (by controversial means) and Xavier Reid, the longest losing streak of his career. He was able to overcome these losses though, playing a pivotal role in The House winning against Team EWC in War Games, and then a show stealing performance against Chris Page at WrestleFest for the United States Championship, his second singles PPV victory and his biggest win of his career thus far, in only his FIRST WrestleFest. Cosmo has made some business choices of his own, adding former House co-leader & manager Dimitri Graves to his managerial services, disrupting Callie Clark's attempt at ousting Jack from leader of the group. Despite the tension from Dimitri & the rest of the group, Cosmo remains a firm member of The House, although he now operates under the belief that he should be the leader.. Whether this is a Cosmo or Dimitri implanted thought remains to be known, but it sure got supported when he put The House on his back and defeated El Pablo at House Party. With the United States Championship in his possession and Dimitri Graves as his manager, Cosmo Goldworthy is headed to a huge 2024.
