BRIEF HISTORY -
A wrestler since 1997, David Troy has taken on many names and many faces, and seemed to struggle in attaining success and recognition. That all changed once he joined a certain Midwestern outfit that will remain nameless; there, he staked his claim as one of the best wrestlers today with many remarkable fights and feuds, culminating in his rise as a proper champion. At age forty, David knows that he doesn’t have much time left as a competitor; however, he refuses to go gently into the night, and intends to face the rising stars of the new generation, to test both himself and them, and also to leave an impression on those who will carry on the business after he’s gone.
Broken ankle. Cracked ribs. Rhabdomyolysis brought on by a severe beating. Also, ruptured liver and spleen from the same beat down. Cracked shins from Muay Thai-related injuries. Busted knees. Two major concussions.
SPORTSMANSHIP -
He'll shake hands. Conduct himself like a professional in the ring. If he's working heel, he'll get every bit of flex and leverage he can out of the rules, but he won't outright cheat. But through it all he sees himself as a professional, and will expect his opponents to give it all they got.
