Name: Jerry Bishop
Handler: veggieleezy
Nickname: "The Jester"
Date of Birth: 12/13/91
Hometown: Kansas City, MO
Alignment: Heel
Wrestling Type: Agile all arounder
Personality: Tired of being the lovable loser who puts on good matches but never wins the big one, Jerry has turned to the dark side, enlisting MDE to help him become the best he can be. This led to a significant drop in support from the fans, leading Jerry to become disillusioned and ultimately vengeful, determined that he will give the fans what he feels they deserve- Jerry as FPW Champion, but not as the lovable loser 'The Jester' as the disillusioned, arrogant winner 'The Joker'.
Main strength: Speed and maneuverability.
Main weakness: Can't sustain much damage, sometimes focuses more on the fans than on his opponent, believing he can beat them without too much effort.
Pic base: Evan Bourne
Attire: black tights with purple lining, purple drama and comedy masks on black boots (one mask on each boot), alternating purple and black gloves/elbow pads, black sleeveless shirt with purple lining (like Seth Rollins' PPV shirt), and purple domino mask. Entrance/promo attire occasionally includes a black leather jacket with purple drama and comedy masks over a script "JB" on the back (like the Hart Foundation jackets).
Entrance music: 'Shine My Shoes'- Robbie Williams
Entrance example: Jerry enters, revealing himself to the fans, who boo him loudly. He moves down the ramp giving off the air of someone who isn't bothered by the boos, but his reaction is always just below the surface. As he enters the ring, he pointedly ignores ring announcer Dasha Banks before readying himself for his match.
Signatures/Finishers:
1. Main Finisher- The Punchline (a high-impact right hand followed by a ripcord short-arm lariat)
2. Used to win Smaller Matches- The Last Laugh (straightjacket DDT)
3. The Chelsea Smile (crossface submission hold with theatrics {"cuts" his lips into a smile with his thumbs [like Undertaker "cuts" his throat] before applying the hold, rarely used})
Common moves:
1. Rolling elbow
2. Running bulldog
3. Blockbuster off the second turnbuckle
4. Springboard forearm
5. Russian leg sweep
6. Step-up enzuguiri
7. Float over neckbreaker
8. Rebound arm drag
9. Running dropkick
10. Corner tornado DDT
11. Slingshot DDT
12. The Touchstone Takedown (primary signature, parallel snapmare into rebound penalty kick to the chest. Done to taunt the fans as it's a link to who Jerry used to be.)
Backstory: Jerry started training to be a wrestler after being inspired by the acrobatics and showmanship of veterans like Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels. Having acting training from college and high school, he decided to turn his "showstopping" personality up to 11 as he stepped into the squared circle. Now he's ready to prove himself on the biggest stages in the world.
Joining the 50-50 Wrestling Federation founded by the Graves Brothers, Jerry formed a partnership with Super Che Junior, a likeminded superhero who wanted to give the audiences the time of their life. In the process, they also formed the foundation for a group called "The League of Friendmigos", a stable of show-stealing individuals who were focused on preserving the true reason we're here: fun. Despite his best efforts, the League of Friendmigos were unable to defeat the darkness that consumed 50-50, and the group's members scattered across the globe. Luckily, Super Che Junior's manager, the Mysterious Masked Woman aka "Missy", found Jerry performing as a lounge act in Monaco (to critical acclaim, I might add) with his older brother Dean. Missy was able to convince Jerry to return to wrestling and reform the duo of "The Junior and the Jester" with Super Che.
After spending time in Rising Phoenix Federation from the ashes of 50-50, Bishop saw an opportunity to make a name for himself on a global stage. Jerry brought The Jester to Freedom Pro Wrestling, wishing to showcase his own brand of fun professional wrestling to a global audience. However, after a losing streak following a bitter rivalry with MDE, which involved MDE's sickening manipulation of Jerry's sister, Jerry turned to MDE for support getting better. Jerry slowly turned away from the qualities that made him the biggest fan-favourite in the company and, in so doing, alienated the very people who used to support him no matter what. From this, he emerged into The Joker, arguably the best wrestler in the company, but without his former humility. Jerry is determined to give the fans what they always used to want- Jerry Bishop as FPW Champion.

The world of professional wrestling caught her attention, with one particularly colorful character from Freedom Pro Wrestling catching her eye.
