CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Disposition / Alignment: Chaotic Good
Brief Explanation of Character's Gimmick: The most interesting man in world, and one of New Orleans most favorite sons, Hugo Goodman is a jolly Cajun man not afraid to take on any challenge. In a previous life, Hugo was a hard-nosed Private Investigator as a defacto vigalente for those that couldn't go to, or didn't trust the police. However, Hugo wants to retire and start up his own Cajun restaurant for him and his ten children and 20 grandchildren. While being a Cajun Shaft earned the love and respect of his community, it certainly didn't pay the bills. In order to accomplish his dream, 60 year old Hugo Goodman signed with EWC's Prime to earn enough start-up capital for his future business. Hugo is a ball of joy, and always having a good time, in and out of the ring he can be found dancing, or cooking the best gumbo in the world, but he won't tolerate no foolishness in a match and is quick to punish anyone foolish enough to try and play Goodman.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Tendency to Cheat (Delete ALL that do NOT apply):
- [x] Never
Favorite Match Types: Submission, first bodyslam wins
Least Favorite Match Types: Iron Man Matches
[OPTIONAL] Favorite Weapon: 350lbs of ass, baby.
Fighting Style: Powerhouse
Ring Strategy: Hugo, while not afraid to have fun in the ring, needs to keep the match at a slower pace that he can handle. Hugo fights conservatively at first, all while taunting and dancing at the same time to frustrate and agitate opponents into making a mistake that Hugo can capitalize on. Once Hugo finds his opening or finds his fighting spirit, he'll turn on the afterburners and power his way to a victory.
In-Ring Strengths: Freakish Athleticism: Despite his age and size, Hugo is an athletic marvel. He has incredible burst and can generate strength from just about any position. He can also perform splits, and even skin the cat. Anything you don't expect from a big man, Hugo can do and even make it look easy.
Fighting Spirit: You can't keep a Goodman down for long. After enough punishment, Hugo will find a second wind and make a fiery comeback. (If only for a few seconds.) It's advisable to stay clear from Hugo the moment he drops the straps to his singlet.
In-Ring Flaws: Age: Hugo is a 64 year old man. Duh.
Stamina: Hugo is a lot of things, young ain't one of them. While he's fast for a big guy, he's still much slower than most of the competition. Stamina is also a massive cause of concern.

MINI BIOGRAPHY
The son of a preacher-man, the golden rule was the most important rule in the Goodman household. Growing up the youngest of eight sisters, Hugo didn't have many masculine forces in his life aside from his firm, but fair father. Hugo then met his future mentor, a man simply only known as Mari. Mari was a war hero in the second world war and used his skills to provide protection for the people of his home town, Tremé. To this day, Mari is still the coolest cat Hugo's ever known and often seeks his guidance in uncertain times.
Hugo grew up a bit bigger than most boys his age, but Mari committed to improving Hugo's physical fitness and even trained him for wrestling. In high school, Hugo excelled as a wrestler, but after graduating from high school, Hugo skipped College and went straight into work as a Private Investigator. Working along side Mari, Hugo was a greenhorn learning from the best and quickly picked up Mari's work when he finally called it quits and retired to private life.
Over the decades, Hugo becomes something of a folk hero for the people of Tremé. A kind man that will fight like a dog for anyone that can't fight for themselves. He's taken on the Mob, the Cartel, the French Foreign Legion, and even a mob of Weregators and made it out in one piece. All with a laugh and a campy pun to follow up his heroic actions.
However, much like his Mari, Hugo found it was time to call it quits and hung up his boots, but a life-time of heroics didn't leave much in the way of retirement. Forced to live in his oldest son's home, Hugo promised to finally generate some generational wealth he can pass down to his fully-adult family. That is in the form of his future Cajun restaurant.
