BRIEF HISTORY - Son to Canada’s former ambassador to Mexico (and depending on who you speak with, either considered to be on of the most beloved or hated figures in Canadian politic), Eli fell in love with lucha libre as child, but after a bad experience while training in Mexico City (being stabbed by one of his fellow students) he moved to Japan to train in one of the dojos there. His time there is was a mixture of triumph and tragedy, and when he returned to North America it was as mentally broken man who terrorised Lions Road’s predecessor company, Pollomania, as El Tigre de Jengibre/Tiger Mask Red (to find out more: pollomania.proboards.com/).
When Lions Road first opened, he jumped at the opportunity to distance himself from Tiger Mask Red and went by the name Flynn Buck, as name he had first used in Japan before having the tiger mask handed down to him by his mentor. He was only there for a few brief months before he suffered what was believed to be a career ending concussion, and once the truth of who he was came out, the fans turned on him. He would return to the company months later using his real naem and at the head of the Red Army, would attempt to terrorize Lions Road for months before fate stepped in and he discovered he could once again compete.
Throughout his life and career, Eli has battled mental illness, and after this last bout that reached its peak during his time as a manager, he’s unsure of who he really is anymore. He simply wants to compete and hopefully put the Tiger Mask Red antics behind him. Too bad that was easier said than done. Recent events have made him realise that he has to stop pretending to be something he isn't and has finally accepted that he is a nutcase. God help us all.
PREVIOUS INJURIES -
Was left in a coma when he was eight, stabbed in the left side, broken right femur, concussion, multiple burns to face and body.
Strenghts:
1. Suplex you out of anywhere.
2. Strong striking game.
3. Amateur background
Weaknesses:
1. Tunnel vision, becomes too focused on something for his own good.
2. Is bat shit crazy at times and this often costs him during matches.
3. Weak to lower body strikes
SPORTSMANSHIP - If Eli likes you, he'll shake your hand and offer you a bow if defeated; if he doesn't like you, he'll throw everything at you (including the kitchen sink). As long as he's in control of himself he would accept a victory by doctor stoppage if an opponent is injured and unable to continue, but would offer a rematch; if not, he will try to hurt you and officials will have to drag him off you to stop him.
FIGHTING STYLE - Eli is a wild man. While he uses a suplex heavy style and is well versed in both Japanese Strong Style and Lucha Libre, Eli isn't afraid to brawl and will throw everything he as at you.
