PERSONALITY -
Carl Whitaker has seen his view's gradually evolve since coming to Lion's Road. At first he was a man that refused to show any sincere form of sportsmanship and took every shortcut he could to get the job done. Over latter half of 2017 he began to show genuine respect towards his fellow fighters but makes no qualms or apologies for how he gets his business done. At the end of the day he does what he does to carve out a better future for his twin children, Lilly and Logan as a single father, to give them a better life and to walk a different path than the one he choose.

BRIEF HISTORY -
The Self-Proclaimed Product of Texas, Carl broke into the business at the age of 19, wrestling exclusively in the Texas region for small promotions while working during the day for a local oil company. He quickly earned the nickname "The Bull" due to his aggressive in-ring style as he eschewed flash and pizzazz for a style that would have been more at home in the 80s. A proud Father of twins, Lilly and Logan, age 5 he had to learn very early how to balance work and family life as a widower, turning what was once a hobby into an obsession as he left the oil industry for wrestling. It became his outlet, a way to exercise his aggression and demons in a sanctioned environment and a way of advancement and personal achievement he may have never otherwise realized. It was also a way he could provide for his family, to seek fortune so that his kids would never have to do without. The fans may see someone who is as cut throat and as they come, a man with no remorse. In his own eyes however he sees himself as doing what any good Father would do; putting food on the table.
Since coming to Lion's Road he found himself becoming more dedicated to martial arts and embracing his role as a fighter. What was once merely an outlet of aggression and a way to earn money was becoming a legitimate passion of his in addition to being a way to provide for his family. He takes pride in his performances and has found personal growth since moving to the Great Lakes.

SPORTSMANSHIP -
Sportsmanship is a tricky deal for Carl Whitaker. He has grown to show genuine sportsmanship as he spends time in Lion's Road but when it comes to serious rivals all bets are off. Dirty play is often returned in kind.
FIGHTING STYLE -
Looking at Carl Whitaker you'd see a brawler and he plays the part of one very well, but manages to catch opponents off guard with a surprisingly sound mat wrestling game.
SIGNATURE MOVES -
- K.O. - The knockout right punch that he's become very well known for.
- Beaumont Buster (Arn Anderson styled spinebuster)
- Gogoplata (usually after playing possum on the mat to lure the opponent in.)
- Discus Lariat
- Texas Sharpshooter (Figure Four Sharpshooter)
FAVOURITE MOVES -
- various jabs
- various hooks
- knife-edge chop
- limb targeting (knees, arms, head/neck, etc)
- throat thrust
- various takedowns
- German suplex
- Scoop Slam
- Atomic Drop
- Texan (European) Uppercut
- anything that would fit the fighting style (not too picky, if the match writers feel it'd work, use it)
COUNTER MOVES -
- Belly-to-Belly Suplex
- Discus Lariat (also a signature. usually used on the offensive but could also be turned to out of desperation to knock his opponent straight to the mat and halt their momentum dead in its tracks)
- low blow (if at all possible with the referee's view obscured to avoid disqualification. Serious rivals only)
TAUNTS -
- Jawing back and forth with an opponent or otherwise talking trash
