Wrestler Name: Sam Hill
Nicknames (if applicable): Redneck Ninja
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 191 lbs
Hometown: St. Paul, MN
Birthdate: June 3, 1990
Physical appearance: Lean and wiry, brown, shoulder-length wild hair and a slightly mad look about him.
Ring gear: Camo pants with matching day-glo Orange boots and wristbands, a nod to his days wrestling as the masked Agent ORANGE.
Theme music: "I am the Japanese Sandman" by the Cellos
Ring entrance: With "I am the Japanese Sandman" by the Cellos playing, Sam Hill scurries to the ring and slides under the bottom rope He then grabs the top rope while bouncing on the bottom one, like a deranged toddler hopping in his crib.
Face or heel?: Face
Gimmick: Third-generation wrestler from a family that had a mediocre second generation.
Ring style: Some technical, but mostly high spots and bumping.
Brief biography: Sam Hill is the grandson of legendary wrestler and promoter "Rawhide" Sam Hill. And the son of forgettable second-generation wrestler Sam Hill Jr. As with many son's of wrestling legends, Sam Jr. failed to live up to "Pappy's" expectations and as can be expected, it led to a familial rift.
Sam Jr. had two sons, Sam III and Simon, both of whom wished to follow in the "family business," but their understandably bitter father forbade it. As such, the Hill Boys had to train and wrestle on the sly. Donning a mask, Sam became Agent ORANGE, crazed military experiment gone wrong. ORANGE had some modest success, and all was well.
Sadly in 2012, Sam Sr. passed away, but not before making peace with Sam Jr. (and his other son, Jake, Sam III and Simon's uncle, more on him later), who finally gave his sons consent to wrestle.
Now with the mask off, Sam Hill the Third looks forward to making his family name mean something in the industry again.
Three Strengths:
Family. He has a brother and a cousin that have his back.
Tough. Not strong, mind you, but takes a lot of punishment.
Crazy. Is not easily intimidated.
Three weaknesses:
Small. You can easily overpower him.
A bit too crazy. Might get himself DQ'd or distracted a lot.
Stamina. While he can absorb a lot of punishment, he does tend to run out of gas in longer matches.

And the son of forgettable second-generation wrestler Sam Hill Jr. As with many son's of wrestling legends, Sam Jr. failed to live up to "Pappy's" expectations and as can be expected, it led to a familial rift.
Sam Jr. had two sons, Sam III and Simon, both of whom wished to follow in the "family business," but their understandably bitter father forbade it. As such, the Hill Boys had to wrestle secretly, not acknowledging their lineage (this would prove to be an advantage, as Sam Hill Jr. was a punchline in the same joke as Greg Gagne and Erik Watts).
Simon with a natural talent and engaging personality did very well as the masked over-the-top villain Sabre, and looked to be on the fast track to ring success.
Sadly in 2012 "Grandpappy Sam" died, but not before burying the hatchet with sons Sam Jr. and Jake. With Sam Jr. now giving his kids assent to wrestle under their own names, Simon, his brother Sam and their cousin Jake Jr. all decided to unmask and try to rebuild a family legacy.
Three strengths:
Balance of speed and power. Yes.
Stamina. He can go the longest of his kinfolk.
Family Ties. he has a brother and cousin who usually have his back.
Three weaknesses:
Weak spot. If you take out his legs, 90% of his arsenal is removed.
Ground game. He has to stick & move or toss you around. If you get him on the ground he is less effective.
Ego. Easily goaded into getting in over his head.

Brief biography: "Rawhide" Sam Hill was a legendary wrestler and promoter. Sadly his firstborn son Sam Jr. proved to be neither, but not before Sr. Sam tried to cram him down the fans' throats. Rawhide had a second son named Jake. Jake had fewer expectations to live up to and while he had the physique for it, he had neither the desire nor charisma to make it as a pro wrestler. However, Jake did have a talent for football, actually making All-American in 1983.
Jake had a son, Jake Jr. (or J.J. as he preferred) and in an odd bit of irony, he had no talent for football but was a natural for pro wrestling.
Knowing his family name would just be an albatross until he proved himself, J.J. elected to wrestle under a mask. After a few failed personae, he finally make some success as a blast mash-up rip-off of Steve Austin and the Undertaker named Hangman.
Three strengths:
Strong. He can lift and toss much bigger opponents and walk over smaller ones.
Absorbs a lot of punishment. It's kinda a family trait.
Family ties. he has a cousin Yankee kin who'll back him up when the chips are down.
Three weaknesses:
Kinda dumb. He is not the first person you'd equate with intelligence.
Low stamina. After ten minutes, he's sucking in air.
Easy to anger. Can get DQ'd or counted out a fair bit.
