Name: Aaron Williams
Handler: ticktock
Nickname(s): A Plus
Date of Birth: March 14th 1987
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Heel, Face, or Tweener: Face
Wrestling Style: A bit of everything. He's fast, he can be flippy, he can kick and he's got enough power. He's flashy and will always look to hit one more move.
Personality: High energy. He gives everything to put on a show and likes to send people home happy. He's happy to sacrifice his body to make a crowd gasp.
Strengths: Speed, heart and innovation.
Weaknesses: He often goes too far to pull off a big move and has a series of nagging injuries, especially his back.
Wrestler Pic Base: David Starr
Attire: He enters wearing a backwards baseball cap and whichever t-shirt he's selling at that moment. In ring, he wears green and black shorts, one half green and the other half black, with a stylised 'A plus' written across the back, and tiny images of every title he's ever won around the waist. He wears one green and one black kneepad, each with 'A+' on them. He also wears protective wrapping on his left bicep for an historic injury- also green and black with several signatures and messages from young fans.
Theme Song: 'I Still Believe' by Frank Turner
Entrance: As the song begins, Aaron Williams emerges onto the stage and encourages the fans to sing along to the opening verse. He gets them clapping to the beat and, after 'it's rock and roll' ends the verse, he comes down the ramp, still singing along to the song. When he gets to the ring, he finds a young fan and hands them a marker pen to write a message on his knee pad. Williams then turns and slides into the ring, pumping up the crowd from the top rope before leaping down and offering his hand to the official and the ring announcer.
Moveset (list 10 or more common moves):
- Mid-kick
- Dropkick
- Cannonball
- Repeated corner splashes (five or more) until the fans are in a frenzy
- Various types of dive to the outside
- Springboard moves (into the ring, to the outside or over the barricade)- back-elbow, forearm, clothesline, senton
- Brainsbuter to the knee
- Powerbomb backbreaker
- Running knee strikes to a standing, kneeling, seated or cornered opponent
- Discus clothesline
- Swan ton bomb
- 450-splash to an opponent hung on the top rope
- Desperation DDTs as counters
Finisher(s) (list 1-3 finishing moves):
- The A Triple Plus- Package piledriver onto a knee.
- Quick-Fire Combo- Starts with a mid kick followed by a standing double stomp. Williams rolls through and hits a moonsault from the second rope and ends the combination with a pop-up piledriver.
- Denouement (Super finisher)- Top rope brainbuster to the knee followed by a shooting star press.
Backstory (can include real life companies or other e-feds):
Aaron Williams was one of the original indie stars that WWE signed to NXT as it was first growing. Prior to that, he was a two-time ROH champion and had major feuds with the likes of Kevin Steven and Brian Danielson, as well as touring all around the USA to face the best of the best. He signed to the WWE after seeing the success of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan and felt that there was a place for him, but he became frustrated at attempts to change his style and calm him down to work a slower pace. His debut NXT house show match received rave reviews in the Observer but caused him to miss several loops due to working how he wanted to work rather than how the trainers wanted him to. After a year and a half off NXT TV, Williams started to gain traction, working a slightly toned down style but still not fitting exactly what he had been told to do. He became a fan favourite but never received the push he deserved, and he started to become disinterested due to his frustration. He was called up to Smackdown in the hopes that he'd gain fresh motivation but he was rarely featured and, after a year of performing breathtaking house show matches but never appearing on TV, he demanded his release. It wasn't granted, and Williams sat out the rest of his contract, waiting for it to end and for his no compete clause to be up. Nobody knows exactly when he'll be able to wrestle on the Indies again, if he even wants to, but there are rumours circulating that he's about to feature for several US-based and international promotions.
