Name: Leon Rodez

 

Nicknames: Silky Smooth/The Silky Smooth One, The New-Age Love Machine, The Grand Rapids Golden Child

 

Age: 24

 

Height: 6ft

 

Weight: 218lbs

 

Hometown: Grand Rapids, Michigan

 

Alignment: Loveable 'fun' babyface

 

Stable Affiliation: Love Generation (w/ D*LUX)

 

Wrestling style: Hybrid Junior Heavyweight. He's a cruiserweight but he doesn't fly a whole lot, although it's through personal choice and not pesky road agents. Still 'speedy' and agile, but previous knee surgery means he reserves nearly all his flying and tumbling to his finisher. Also, likes to have fun. That's the main part of his character and the only thing I really insist on people sticking to. [see Character Notes]

 

Theme music: Trust Company, "Rock The Casbah"

 

Entrance Style: Rodez steps out, walks to the ring, tagging the hands of the fans and paying special attention to the laydeyz~! Maybe the odd jig here and there, something comical, a little fun. As he gets to the ring, Rodez jumps to the apron and holds out his arms triumphantly, before entering the ring and removing his robe, one of the ring crew catching it as it falls from the ring, and removing it from ringside...they're expensive see.

 

What he looks like...:

 

Entrance attire: A long, flowing black robe with purple trim and design.

 

Ring attire: New(!) black singlet (no straps, the upper-half is more of a basketball jersey shape but tighter) with purple trim and design. Black knee and elbow pads, both with silver trim. Purple boots. Black fingerless gloves so he can use his punching skillz without damaging his knuckles. Black kneebrace on his right leg, a result of knee surgery.

 

 

Finishing Move(s):

450 Splash

Liontamer

(Just a 'few' suggestions. I really don't care too much what moves he uses. Just remember his size and remember the fact he isn't very adventurous aside from the 450. I don't want to see him doing Space Flying Tiger Whatsits...)

 

 

Manager/valet/sidekick: Not usually

 

Catchphrases/Trademark gestures:

Not really. Be creative.

 

Character Notes:

RODEZ DOES NOT GET ANGRY!!!!!!* All in all, Rodez is a fun loving kinda guy, no matter what's happening in his life. So no angry. He prefers to get 'even' rather than be vengeful.

 

(*- There may be exceptions, in which case, I'll make them)

 

 

History/Background/Career Highlights:

Leon Rodez made his OAOAST debut in mid-2003, around the time of the Underground invasion of the OAOAST. The popular youngster was quickly embroiled in the feud, striking up a tag team with Underground member Jacob Lyne...despite remaining an OAOAST member. But after a few matches, Rodez's career hit the buffers due to a serious knee injury that required surgery.

 

Many moons passed before Rodez, with surgically repaired right knee, returned to OAOAST rings in the summer of 2004. Soon after returning, he got into a conflict with Chris Bryte which lead to Rodez's PPV debut at The Great Angle Bash. In a match which put Rodez somewhat on the map, he made up for the lost year by defeating Bryte. Not long after, Rodez felt what strength in numbers was all about, as The Thrillogy helped Zack Malibu defeat Rodez in a stacked-deck World Title match on HeldDOWN~! Rodez went on from there and concentrated on getting re-focused, ending up making an enemy of Drek Stone after a snide comment made in passing. Drek cost Rodez an X-Division Title Match, leading into a feud and a one on one match at AngleSlam which Drek came out on the winning end of.

 

Soon after, Rodez got his big chance. Entering the Round Robin Challenge Tournament with a World Title shot awaiting the winner, Rodez got off to winning ways against Drek. But after injuring his back in the Gauntlet Match of the tournament, Rodez ended up bottom of the six men involved. However, that led onto a match with The Blurricane at World Without End for the X-Division Championship...a match which Rodez was able to win by making Blurricane tap out.

 

As X-Division Champion, Rodez seemed to find his groove as he overcame the likes of The GPX, The Mad Cappa (in a hard hitting feud in which Cappa broke Rodez's nose) and Panther, Chris Bryte and Zack Malibu (in a fourway at Anglepalooza) to keep his X-Division Title reign ticking over. However, after Anglepalooza, the discovery of Rodez's past looked set to haunt him. See, Rodez was previously employed as a pornstar. That got out into the open and soon, it seemed a witch-hunt was aimed at Rodez by GM Bill Watts. The change at the top to employ Josie Baker as GM saved him though, as Josie was empathetic of Rodez's plight. And soon, with the weight lifted off his shoulder, Rodez started to enjoy his career more. Especially in beating Chris Stevens at Zero Hour.

 

However, the arrival of Christian Wright threatened that. Wright cost Rodez the X-Division Title and put him on the shelf, all part of his campaign to expose and get rid of the 'immoral' superstar. The Silky Smooth One returned and vowed to show everyone that he wasn't a bad person. That got him not only deeper into conflict with Wright, and also caught up with the GPX's crusade to rid the OAOAST of it's founding members, as surprisingly, the young Rodez did what was 'right' and refused to side himself with the youngsters. His reward was a World Tag Title reign with former enemy, sudden friend, Zack Malibu. The two got on surprisingly well and had a near 4 month reign before dropping the titles to the New, New Midnight Express.

 

The turn of the year was a kind one otherwise. Having fully established his talkshow The Love Shack as a firm favourite among the fans and struck up a WACKY~! relationship with Alix Maria Spezia, Rodez earned himself a glut of Angle Awards and lasted until the last 3 of the Royal Rumble. In the process, he eliminated Tha Puerto Rican...which, coupled with his Love Shack segment preventing PRL from having a celebration party for his singles victory at AnglePalooza, earned him the 24/7 Champion's attention. After a time-limit draw at Zero Hour, Rodez ended his heated feud with PRL by defeating him in a Ladder Match at AngleMania V.

 

Leon's 24/7 Title reign didn't last long however, as he lost the belt accidently 4 days later to his girlfriend Alix Maria Spezia, during a make-out session. Leon eventually won the gold back during Run For The Gold 2, although his title hunt saw him and Alix sadly part ways. His second reign didn't last much longer as Crystal, with some help from Gunner Sharps, snatched the gold away and earned herself Leon's...affection. Yep. Rather than go for vengeance and the belt, Leon tried to woo Crystal, vowing not to make the same mistakes he did with Alix. Trouble being, Crystal didn't want to be like Alix. So they ended up fighting at The Great Angle Bash, with Leon retaining the title.

 

After a series of 24/7 Open Challenges against some 'unique characters', Leon was once again ambushed, as SWF star Landon Maddix targetted him upon his debut in the company. Maddix, with the help of The Wildcards, won the 24/7 Title. He then defended successfully at AngleSlam. This conflict eventually led to Leon siding with Zack Malibu in his battle against The Wildcards and Landon. Unfortunately, it also led to Leon being put on the shelf, courtesy of a Riot Act Plus from Todd Cortez between the aprons in War Games.

 

Leon returned to action with a victory over Cortez at AngleMania. However, his night ended sourly as his sister Jade joined forces with The Enterprise. A bitter fallout between the siblings saw Leon fighting to make his sister see the light and leave Moneymaker's side. After months of anguish, seeing Leon's usual jovial mood all but disappear, Leon alongside D*LUX and Chicks Over Dicks, get the better of The Enterprise. With D*LUX he took the 6-Man Tag Titles. And at AngleSlam, Jade finally left the darkside and returned home. For a while, everything was back to normal. That is until it was revealed in early 2008 that Jade was not Leon's little sister, but infact his niece and daughter of Krista Isadora Duncan!
