Crowe

I'm so very saddened after reading the show. No more SJL, that's just a motherfucker, I have so many great memories of my time. Up for debate of course, but I believe I was involved in the golden time of the SJL with guys like Dace Night, Janus, Va'aiga and Atlas tearing it up like crazy. Matches that stick in my mind would have to be Janus' Mall Brawl, Dace's DI@B, Va'aiga's crazy ladder match against Tryst and of course, THE HELL IN A CELL WITH SEAN ATLAS! A 10500 word beast that should have been read more than it was! The intenseness of the Crow vs Va'aiga feud made for some excellent reading, as it got quite personal. And who can forget my 52 day title reign (not me, because I'm an arrogant fuck)!? I loved the SJL, and I will miss it. I do hope for its return in the future. This is arguably the best SJL champion in history (Thugg can go suck my balls ) signing off!

...get the ball through the wickets? THROUGH THE WICKETS!? WHAT!? Do you even know what you're talking about!??!??!?!

HSR, THOTH! HAVE SOME RESPECT! Muzz, your promo confuses me.

Update: Moved to Archive Thread. Added to Career Highlights. Smarks Board Name: Crowe Wrestlers Name: Crow Nickname: Antichrist Superstar, Antichristian Phenomenon, Gothic Warrior, Gothic Avian Real Name: Markus Cirillo Height: 6'2" Weight: 231 pounds Hometown: Born: - Adelaide, Australia Lives: - Anchorage, Alaska Age: 23 Face/Heel: Face Stable: None at the moment. Tag Team: Soon... Ring Escort: Jessica Weapon(s): Cigarette, Cigarette Lighter, Glass Light Tubes, Singapore Cane Quote: "Victim." "Victims... aren't we all?" Looks: General: - Caucasian male. - Very long black hair (reaches past his shoulders) and present are numerous streaks of red. - A well-defined, muscular build - imagine a more properly proportioned Jerry Lynn build. - Numerous scars all over body, particularly on his back – this is due to numerous hardcore encounters in the SJL and the best of five with Janus in the SWF. - Large scale tattoo of a crow with its wings spread on upper back - ala, right wing spreads over to the right shoulder blade, and left wing spreads over to the left shoulder blade. Also present is a small tattoo of the Grim Reaper on right arm tricep and a small tattoo of an inverted cross on left breast. - Fingernails are now long. Approximate length is 7mm long off the tip of the finger. While Wrestling: - Hair is always wet through and never ever tied up. - Is topless in the ring, show casing the many scars and tattoos and not to mention the sexy physique for the ladies. - Crow will on occasion wear a black button up/down shirt to the ring. This usually only occurs when wounds on back/chest/arms are not completely healed and/or stitches are present. The shirt acts as a security blanket, if you will. - Wears normal full length black pants - no patterns or other colours present. - If ever wearing a title belt, he will always sling it over the right shoulder. Wearing the belt around the waist just isn't Crow's style. Promos, Instances Outside The Ring: - Always wear a black button up/down shirt that can be made of any fabric, however, note that is never had any patterns or different colours on it. - Wears the same normal black pants he wears whilst wrestling. - On almost every occasion, he’s smoking a cigarette. Ring Entrance: A small collection of screams is heard as the lights fall and darkness overtakes the arena. Machine Head’s “Imperium” begins to play with its mellow strumming of the guitar. The intensity picks up progressively until it reaches boiling point... “HHEEEAAAARRRR ME NNNNOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!” The lights flicker in a brooding red light as screens at homes around the world become distorted with picture noise. The lights and noise stops as the darkness goes black again, and a spotlight appears in the middle of the stage. Standing amidst the light is Crow, the Antichrist Superstar with his wings spread and head cocked back. The crowd cheers wildly for their beloved superstar. “Hear me now! Words I vow! No fucking regrets!” Crow drops his arms and turns around to face the crowd. A cigarette is as always present, the BUTT resting gently between his lips. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out his zippo and smiles as he slashes the zippo back and forward across his pants. ”Fuck these chains! No god damn slave! I will be different!” The Antichristian Phenomenon lights the cigarette in his mouth and proceeds to stride forward. After his second stride he throws the still lit zippo behind him onto the stage and an eruption of fire goes off! The crowd cheers wildly as the flames rise up to two metres in height! I'll stand here defiantly! My middle finger raised! Fuck your prejudice! Crow strides up the steel steps and enters the ring. He walks over to his corner and sits down, smoking, whilst waiting for his opponent. (If second out, will BUTT the cigarette out on ring post.) Stats: Strength: 4 Crow has good strength for his size and can surprise the bigger blokes on the occasion. A man of 275 pounds is the maximum weight he can lift up in the Natural Born Chaos suplex. He is, however, able to hit a basic snap suplex on opponents up to 285 pounds (and possibly a little more). Speed: 5 A relatively fast mover in the ring, the Antichrist Superstar can run circles around larger 'victims' and can keep with the smaller 'victims' for a little while, but they will always out speed him. He is able to perform various modifications of the moonsault. Vitality: 7 Crow is one tough motherfucker and he has the reputation to boot. His numerous hardcore encounters in ICW and in the SJL proved he is damn resilient and can take a ferocious beating, yet still kick out. He is a hard cunt and you better believe it now. He will never no sell, but he will keep getting up. Charisma: 4 A great speaker as evidenced in the SJL, the Antichristian Phenomenon has the confidence and the 'look' that the crowd loves. He has sex appeal that gets the ladies’ tingling in certain areas, whilst somehow also managing to be chauvinistic in nature and thusly, appealing to the male audience. Style: Return: Thursday 11th December – Since taking time off, Crow has honed his skills in the ring and has worked on every aspect of his game. He’s a little sharper and is now ever harder than he was. It will be very hard to put this motherfucker down for the three. It has been widely recognised that the Antichrist Superstar wrestles best in the hardcore environment and whilst inside the squared circle, he adheres to his reputation that the SJL had assisted him in gathering, as a gutsy fighter. This label though, does not mean Crow is a merely a brawler, on the contrary, in actuality he is accomplished in the sport of wrestling and showcases this by competing against opponents using his unique style. The style consists of an array of strikes (roundhouse kicks, knife-edge chops, thrusting claws etc) combined with semi-technical wrestling moves (dragon screw, judo moves, submissions etc), speedy/high flying moves (DDTs, moonsaults, dropkicks etc) and a variety of suplexes (German, Natural Born Chaos etc). Crow's matches tend to start off at a relatively fast pace, with strikes and moves like arm drags, hip tosses and dropkicks, amongst other moves being utilised. Though, on the occasion, if the opponent calls for it, he will participate in a fistfight, basic lock up or a test of strength. But all in all, it depends on his opponent. More often than not, tactics involving use of the ropes and/or hardcore tactics are soon employed to slow down his opponent, so high impact and high-risk moves can be performed. Depending on the circumstance, the Antichrist Superstar may also apply psychology to a various body part and work on it, thus allowing for a submission to be locked on. Please note that in any situation outside the ring, Crow is sure to excel or at least gain back the advantage unless the attack upon him is consistent. Signature moves: Evenflow Moonsault Previously a finisher, but now shifted back to this area. Though, it still can finish a match, but if you need to kick out of a big move, do it to this one. The attacker climbs the turnbuckle so that he is looking out into the crowd. The attacker then jumps off the turnbuckle with arms in crucifix pose, performs a two hundred and seventy-degree back flip and lands stomach first on the lying victim. This move can also be performed onto a standing victim. Figure Four Leg Lock This is the secondary submission finisher and is used when psychology is applied to the leg and/or Crow is unable to perform the Sharpshooter. The victim is on their back, the attacker grabs one leg and bends it sideways behind one of the attacker's own legs and on top of the victim's other leg, forming a "4" with the victim's legs. The attacker holds the victim's straight leg, falls backwards to the mat and secures the victim's bent leg in place by placing their free leg on top of the ankle of the victim's bent leg. Das Wunder Kick (Roundhouse Kick) A stiff Tajiri-esque roundhouse kick. The attacker kicks with one leg while pivioting 90 degrees on the other. The attack can be directed at the knee, midsection or head and also it can be done to a sitting opponent to the back. The top of the attacker's foot is the contact point for this kick. Occasionally done repeatedly, and can be possible knock out if kick is direct and connects with the face. German Suplex The attacker stands behind the victim and applies a waistlock. The attacker lifts the victim up and falls backwards, dropping the victim on their shoulders/neck/upper back. If the attacker releases the victim at the height of their lift, this often becomes a "Release German Suplex". However, most times the attacker keeps the waistlock applied and bridges for the pin. Murderous DDT The attacker sits on the top turnbuckle and grabs the victim's head, applying a front face lock. From there, the attacker jumps off the buckles, swings around one side of the victim's body and drives the victim's head into the mat. Or, the attacker jumps off the ropes and then applies the swinging DDT. This variation can be performed off the apron to the outside as well. Moonsault Variations The attacker jumps onto the second/third ring rope, performs a 270 degree back flip with arms spread in the crucifix position and lands stomach first on the lying victim. This move can also be performed onto a standing victim. Crow can perform any variation of this move, for example... Asai Moonsault, Quebrada Moonsault, Twisting Corkscrew Moonsault etc. Top Rope Somersault Senton The attacker climbs the turnbuckle so that his back is facing the crowd. He then jumps off the turnbuckle, performs a 270 degree front flip over the victim and lands back first on them. This move can also be performed onto a standing victim and can be performed in a number of ways, for example... whilst running, via springboard, from the apron... basically anything you can think of. Claw Swipe Ever seen Iori swipe the fuck out of opponent’s in King Of Fighters? Well, Crow does the same thing. The attacker forms a claw with his hand and lashes out at his opponent’s face/head/chest/back/arms/legs - scratching them and usually drawing blood. This can be performed in either a downward, upward or sideward thrust. Knife Edged Chop Crow prefers to use the knife edged chop over punching, he still uses the punch however. The attacker strikes the victim with the outer part of their hand, the pinky finger side. This attack can be done to a variety of locations on the victim's body. Common moves: Arm Drag Chin Breaker DDT Drop Toe Hold Dropkick (Performed while standing, running and from top rope.) Dragon Screw Leg Whip Hip Toss La Majistral Cradle Leg Drop (Performed while standing, running and from top rope.) Leg Related Psych Moves Northern Lights Suplex (With bridge or without.) Punch Russian Leg Sweep (Can be performed onto railing.) Shin Breaker Snap Suplex Various Body Presses (Performed while running, from top rope, from apron, etc...) This section is tedious, so any basic wrestling move. Rare moves: Wing And A Prayer Suplex The attacker stands behind the victim. The attacker grabs one of the victim's arms and bends it behind the victim's back and places their hand so it at the top of the victim's shoulder. The attacker uses their other free arm to reach around the victim's face so their forearm is across their nose/face. The attacker locks their hands together. From there, the attacker lifts the victim up and falls backwards, dropping the victim on their head/neck/shoulders. This is Crow's rarest signature move and is not pulled out very often. My Last Serenade (Rider Kick) The victim is on the outside, whilst the attacker is in the ring. The attacker ascends to the top turnbuckle, then jumps in the air, and kicks the victim with both their feet. The attack can be focuses on the victim's head, chest, stomach, back or legs. This move only happens once in a blue moon, more specifically, it’s only used in big matches... ala Number One Contendership/Title matches. Spider German Suplex (Top Rope German Suplex) The attacker locks their legs on the ropes and hangs onto the buckles as they do the move. The attacker stands behind the victim and applies a waistlock. The attacker lifts the victim up and falls backwards, dropping the victim on their shoulders/neck/upper back. If the attacker releases the victim at the height of their lift, this often becomes a "Release German Suplex". However, most times the attacker keeps the waistlock applied and bridges for the pin. Only used when the opportunity presents itself, i.e. not very often. Finishers: Natural Born Chaos (Jumping Brainbuster Suplex) This is the finishing move. No one will, ever, ever, EVER kick out of this move unless I clear such thing first. Only one person has kicked out of it and that was the immortal Sean Atlas, maximum respect, yo. The attacker applies a front face lock on the victim and throws the victim's near arm across their shoulders. The attacker grabs the victim's tights and lifts them straight up in the air so they are upside down. The attacker then jumps in the air, kicks his legs out and falls onto his back, causing the victim to fall straight down on their head at a neck-breaking angle. Preferred finisher. NEVER TO BE KICKED OUT OF UNLESS TITLE MATCH! Failure to comply will result in death and loss of penis. Sharpshooter The sharpshooter. The deadly dangerous submission move that has made one of the SWF's giants submit... twice... in a row. This is Bret Hart level move of death. The victim is on their back. The attacker holds up the victim's legs and steps in between them. The attacker crosses the victim's legs around the leg that they put through, and holds them in place with their arms. The attacker then steps over, turning the victim over on their stomach. The attacker leans/crouches back to apply pressure. Notes: Update 11th December 2003 – Will use more of his speed ability in matches now, more moonsaults etc. Just a few small ‘nitpicky’ things that I’d like you all to keep in mind when writing Crow in a match or promo. Firstly, he will never, under any circumstances, be scared of his opponent or try to back down/beg off wrestlers, no matter how bigger or stronger they may be. Secondly, the Antichristian Phenomenon is an instinctive wrestler and does whatever is needed to win. This can be using psychology on a specific limb, focussing on an opponent’s weak spot or even cheating. With a heel history at the beginning of his SJL career, he is by no means above cheating or messing with his opponent’s mind, even though he is an extremely over babyface. Crow will play and taunt to the crowd on the occasion during his matches (usually during a time of known advantage), but he is not overly concerned with them, he still concentrates on winning the match. Finally, Crow has developed a reputation for bumping one hell of a lot, even willingly taking huge bumps that could hurt him badly. He loves to bleed and when the circumstance calls for it, he will bleed a copious amount... and of course, let’s not forget that the former SJL World Champion has an ardour for glass bumps. Bio: Born in the Flinders Public Hospital in Adelaide, Australia on the 27th of October 1980, Markus Adam Cirillo, more commonly known as Crow, had a very normal upbringing. He was born into a very casual family of nuclear structure, meaning he had a mother and a father, plus a brother. Up until the age of thirteen, when puberty hit, Markus was a well behaved and polite young boy, who was nice to all and loved by many. This all changed when the desire for sex kicked in, it was at this point Crow abandoned the ‘good boy’ image and became a ‘bad boy’, an image which he still holds onto until this day. Markus was expelled from five different schools during his secondary education, four of which were related to drug possession and being under the influence of drugs in class. The other was for hospitalising four peers during a school yard brawl. And you know what? Whilst a lot of the guys disliked him, the women absolutely adored him and did almost anything to get his affection. However, his parents were not so fond of him (you know, cause they’re his parents!) and regularly grounded him and scolded him for his drug taking ways, but this of course, did not stop Crow, as he always managed to sneak out to go party. At the age of sixteen, Markus found a new passion in his life, other than drugs, and this was the sport of professional wrestling. Becoming an avid fan of such federations like the WWF, WCW and ECW, he could no longer sit down and just watch this sport... he had to become a part of it. It was at this point, on his seventeenth birthday, his life changed forever. For the first time in his life, Crow stepped into a professional wrestling ring and participated in a group training session. The second the session ended, his mind was made up and it could not be changed, this is what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to be a professional wrestler. Everyday from then onwards, he put himself through intense physical training and once a week, he would go to wrestling training. Mark Adam was a prodigy, and his trainer, Australian wrestling legend Christopher Basso, realised this and began working with him exclusively twice a week. The training went very well and as time passed, Crow began to grasp that he possessed an uncanny ability to absorb copious amounts of punishment and still be able to retain his senses. Soon, Christopher Basso offered Mark a contract for his wrestling federation, the Australian Wrestling Syndicate (AWS), without a second thought, it was signed. From there on in, Crow began to wrestle shows bi-weekly and this helped in the effort to tone down his attitude and behavioural problems. Basso saw the recklessness in the young man and taught him some valuable lessons about life, which Markus at the time thought were harsh, but in the end, he benefited greatly from them. However, Chris Basso could not get his student away from drugs, and this problem stuck with Crow and it eventually became a problem, as will be revealed later on. For trivia buffs, it was during his stay at the AWS that Markus got dubbed the nickname ‘The Antichrist Superstar’, due to his strong Anti-Christian beliefs. After a few months with the federation, he met two foreign wrestlers that he would become great friends with, and these two men were ‘Ad Van Dam’ Adam Livingston and ‘Dante Crane’ Dante Lucretia. It was with these two that the Antichrist Superstar would become closest with, especially with Adam, and after a year in the AWS, the three decided to begin their own wrestling federation. The problem was though, they did not have the adequate funds to support such a business venture, and thus, they stayed with the AWS and each got part time jobs. Three years had passed and Crow was now twenty, and combined together, the three men had enough money to start their own wrestling organisation. And so, Interactive Championship Wrestling (ICW) was born and held its first shows. There was a medium size roster of twenty workers, but despite the small size, the organisation always managed to leave the fans happy, providing good storylines and some fantastic wrestling matches. The popularity of the product grew larger with each show and even garnered some of the IGNWF’s talent, El Luchadore Magnifico and Jamie Drazon, for numerous shows. Eventually, the first Pay Per View event was held in Sydney, Australia. It was a successful show which saw the tag team titles initiated in an epic match between the team of Ad Van Dam and Crow defeat the team of Inferno and Dead Pool. The International title was also initiated in a great match between Dante Crane and Dark Lightning. But two weeks later, a tragedy occurred, Adam Livingston was found murdered in his flat. He was found by Mark Adam, and after this it was revealed that both Mark and Adam were heroin addicts. Crow’s drug problem had reached its peak and unfortunately it took Adam with it. This discovery led to Dante Crane quitting ICW and shunning Crow, vowing to never forgive him for what he did. Interactive Championship Wrestling eventually died, the workload was far too much for the Antichrist Superstar to handle alone and wrestlers were leaving left and right. Markus Cirillo abandoned his love for wrestling and went into hiding... A year passed and Crow emerged from the shadows and with the help and encouragement of Magnifico and Drazon, he started wrestling again. The IGNWF had changed its name and moved home base, now calling itself the SWF. With the new management of The Suicide King at the reins and after many talks, Drazon finally landed the Antichrist Superstar an ‘audition’ with SWF. The dark match was against a fellow audition wrestler ‘Technical Perfection’ Christopher Card, and was wrestled before the airing of a SJL Crimson. Needless to say, Crow impressed the SJL bookers and most importantly Grand Slam Mark Stevens, he was then, immediately signed. Markus Cirillo’s career in the SWF officially started on the 9th of January, 2003 on SJL Crimson where he debuted against the man he wrestled in the dark match prior. It was a loss, but fortunately, losses are not what Crow had many of in his SJL career, as he was booked for success, and before being bumped, he could lay claim to being the (arguably) Greatest SJL World Champion in history after holding it for 52 days and defending it successfully six times. Prior to his bumping to the big leagues, the SWF, Crow received a phone call from someone he had not heard from for a very long time. This was Dante Crane, ringing and asking to make amends, for he was in a bit of strife. Old friends will never stay enemies, and the two men forgave one another, more importantly Dante forgave Markus for the whole heroin episode. Crow was officially bumped on the 22nd of June, 2003 and debuted in Fatal Fiveway at the 13th Hour Pay Per View event. Dante Crane is now Crow’s right hand man and escorts him to the ring regularly, but his full potential and his in-ring skills are yet to be seen... Ground Zero has just passed and it signalled the end of the best of five match series between Crow and Janus. The Antichrist Superstar, after taking a brutal, brutal beating in every single match, managed to reign supreme, defeating Janus one on one, arm over chest in the middle of the ring. He suffered many injuries as a result of repeated battles with the stiff-as-all-hell seven foot Janus, particularly his ribs, back and left shoulder. Also occurring on the Ground Zero event was the debut of Dante Crane. The high-flying gothic cruiserweight impressed in his debut match, but unfortunately came out on the losing end... nevertheless; there is definitely gold coming Dante's way. Same could be said about Crow, only the future will tell...
