PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Notable Features: Baker's got a great deal of scarring on his back and arms from his death-match history. Tack wounds on the back, scars, up and down his left arm, etc. His upper left chest has a pretty big scar from being thrown chest-first into glass during the match in which he won the ALPHA World Heavyweight Championship. He has tattoos in script on his right ribcage, although they've long since been legible.
Ring Attire: While in Deathmatches, Baker wears a set of black jean-looking tights with kneepads built into them, as well as long black boots that go halfway up his calf. He typically wraps his fists in white boxing tape, but sometimes (depending on the stipulation), he will wear black full-hand gloves with rougher knuckles on them.
Entrance Attire: Baker wears a dark denim patch jacket with a fur collar to the ring, with a massive skull patch on the back. Other patches around the arms and on the chest are aviation-based, as well.

WRESTLER'S IN-RING INFO
Alignment: Tweener, face-leaning.
Gimmick: A hot-shot brutal talent, The Guillotine views himself as the bench mark of the wrestling world. Previously known as 'The Aviator' due to his workhorse talent, Graham Baker instead has changed direction to push those around him to their hardest. He backs up his rough attitude and cocky taunts with stiff strikes and vicious submissions. While he is brutal, he will show respect to those who beat him, or bring him a good fight.
Wrestling Style: Striker/Technician.
Strategy: For smaller opponents, outlast their speed and get in massive strikes. For similar-sized opponents, Baker looks to use his strikes and strength to do heavy damage to set them up for a finisher. For bigger opponents, using his speed and limited aerial moveset to his advantage, while setting them up for a deathblow from his knee or heavier strike.
Taunts/Mannerisms: Any signature taunts they use?
Taunts/Mannerisms: Any signature taunts they use?
Strengths: Speed, stiff strikes and technical mindset. Willingness to get brutal, and headstrong attitude that will keep him going like a resilient fucker until he can't move.
Weaknesses: Refusal to give in or back down from a challenge, leading to him taking heavy damage and often getting fooled into tricks or traps.
Entrance Theme: 'blood//water' (tom morello mix) by grandson
Entrance Description: The arena lights go down, and the arena is filled with guitar strums and the intensifying drum beat of the song as smoke pours out from the entrance ramp, revealing Baker only from the patches and buttons on his denim jacket.
'WE'LL NEVER GET FREE
LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER
WHATCHU GON' DO
WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER'
As the song continues, taking a moment to hang, the smoke clears and Baker's back is revealed to the crowd, his aforementioned denim jacket's skull taking in the light as he points two 'finger-guns' at the screen.
'THE PRICE OF YOUR GREED
YOUR SON AND YOUR DAUGHTER
WHATCHU GON' DO
WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER'
The screen cracks as Baker 'fires' at it.
'WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER?'
The intense chorus kicks up as Baker turns around, screaming out as he leaps into position. He slaps hands with the fans as he approaches the ring, mostly favoring those who are supporting him before pulling himself up on the apron, tossing his jacket off before springboarding into the ring. Often, depending on his opponent, he'll either point a finger gun at them or give them the middle finger before falling back into the corner and laying across the top ropes, as if taunting his opponent.

WRESTLER'S MOVE-SET
Most Used Moves:
Comeback Sequence: While Baker is on the ropes, he will often throw a wild shoot headbutt at an opponent to stagger them, before hitting them with a rough forearm into a Brainbuster, dropping them back on their head before rebounding for a running pump knee to the front or back of the head.
- Baker will often use machine gun chops, close range knee strikes, brutal kicks and other strikes to do grave, visible damage to the body, wearing them down and weakening them for a finishing maneuver.
- Various submission maneuvers, primarily armbars and armbreakers in order to weaken the arm targeted for a final Emergency Landing that would seal the deal for the opponent's loss. Baker is willing to go to many, many lengths to ensure that his enemies can barely respond to any attacks he puts forth on them.
- Suplexes (Snap, German, Tiger, Dragon, Half-and-Half, Exploders, Sidewinder, Teardrop, Saito, etc. Most if not all can be done from elevation or bridging.)
- Kicks (Hook, Superkicks, Back Kicks, Heel Kicks, Thrust-Kicks, Enziguri, and other variations. Done running, straight up, countered, or, in some cases, as springboard moves.)
- Knee Strikes (Single Leg High, Jumping Knee, Step-up Knee, Bicycle Knee, Bomaye/Kinsasha Knee, Shotgun, and Meteora. Can be done from elevation, straight up, from the corner, running or into the corner.)
- Arm-based strikes (Including elbow strikes (roaring/running/back), forearms (multiple/combinations/ripcord), lariats (discus/rolling lariats as well as others), haymaker and other overhand strikes, European Uppercuts, as well as chops. Can be done in suicide variants and running for some.)
- Stiff Strikes (Headbutts, Knee Lifts, Shoulder Blocks, etc. Done more out of desperation or to stagger an opponent to set up for a killing blow.)
- Double-wristlock or armdrag moves to pull an opponent to the ground, either to set up for a barrage of knee strikes to the face or a series of curb stomps that would do heavy damage to the neck and face.
- Powerbomb Variants (Largely as a show of strength, Baker is known to utilize Crucifix bombs, Sit-Out Powerbombs, and Powerbomb Lungblowers and Backbreakers. Baker will use these often as transition moves, although he will try some pins off of others.)
- Driver/Piledriver Variants: Michinoku, Fisherman, and Samoan Drivers are popular in Baker's arsenal, as well as certain piledrivers so as to cause major damage. Baker will often try for pins off of these, but will regularly use them to keep an opponent down for a killing blow.
Comeback Sequence: While Baker is on the ropes, he will often throw a wild shoot headbutt at an opponent to stagger them, before hitting them with a rough forearm into a Brainbuster, dropping them back on their head before rebounding for a running pump knee to the front or back of the head.

- Forearm Strike
- Vertical Drop Brainbuster
- Pump Knee

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY
Disgraced due to actions that cost him many people that he cared for and loved whilst pursuing worldwide fame, former three-time world heavyweight champion Graham Baker looks to return to his roots and, using his hybrid style of wrestling, wow the crowds and punch back up to redeem some of the damage that he's done. Strong willed, resilient, and brash, Baker's talents usually speak for him, and his hot-shot cockiness is backed up in the ring by vicious submissions and stiff strikes.
