Technique: Warren has learned a variety of styles from different teachers all over Pitt, but only sticks with a few of them that he personally likes and works well with. For instance, Warren has been taught and executes magnificent kickboxing and boxing. Also, he is a technician when it comes to actual wrestling moves; it's almost like watching high school wrestling, without the excess grabbing. He doesn't go on the turnbuckle that much, or uses springboard manuevers, but he can if he needs to. He loves to brawl and loves to stand face-to-face with his opponent.

Submission Manuevers: Armbars, leglocks, headlocks, anklelocks.

Favorite/Most Used Manuevers: Haymaker, inverted piledriver, sidekick, superkick, roundhouse, suplex variations, slam variations, off-the-rope takedowns, DDT variations.

Finishing Manuevers: 1.) The Cloque 2.) Nottingham Lace 3.) Renaissance '86

4.) THE ODDYSEY (MAIN FINISHER)

Description of Moves:

1) Warren will usually hit a technician move or powerhouse move before using this finishing manuever. After hitting a big move on his opponent, he stands his opponent up. He then runs into the ropes, running back on full momentum, and leaps into the air. While airborne, Warren delivers an astounding punch to the nearest side of his opponent's head, knocking them out. Hence the cloque.

2) The set up to this finishing manuever will be Warren getting his opponent in a suplex-ready position and lifting him up and slamming him on the top rope. His opponent grabs land as he settles his feet on the apron, behind the ropes, while hung over the top rope. Warren, on the opposite side, cradles both his opponent's arms and executes, while lifting up his opponent over the top rope, a double-arm DDT at a forty-five degree angle into the mat.

3) Warren will have to get the opponent on his or her back for this one, using a devastating punch/kick/move. The opponent is on their back and Warren applies a standing scissors lock around the opponent's leg and falls to the mat on the opponent's side - usually so they're lying on the mat side by side, at an angle to one another. Warren pulls on the victim's leg, trying to hyperextend the opponent's knee and applying pressure to the hamstrings.

4) Warren grapples with his opponent and then irish whips him into the turnbuckle. He then places his opponent, sitting, on the top turnbuckle. Warren walks back into the opposite corner, but then begins to stalk his opponent as he moves toward him. Suddenly, he goes in an all-out sprint and leaps, using the middle rope to spring him, onto the top rope, standing in front of his dazed opponent. He laughs at the crowd, then hits the most back-breaking top rope hurracanrana you've ever seen.

Personality: Well, Warren keeps to himself a lot and doesn't like to socialize on a daily basis. He can handle the occasional "weekend with friends", but no more than that. He doesn't talk to his family and he has a very hellacious temper. He suffers from an inferiority complex, which can prominently be blamed on his father, and tends to get into a lot of fights. Even though he feels inferior most of the time, he's confident when it comes to fighting. When it comes to society? He's scared. He's lost. He's misunderstood. However, when it comes to the instinct of man versus man, the basics of fighting, that's where he finds comfort and excellence.

Title History: PWA Television Champion (won 3/7/08; lost 3/21/08).

Physical Appearance:

Head: Warren has light brown, messy hair that extends down past his ears and to the bottom of his neck. His eyes are hazel, interchanging with brown. He doesn't have any facial hair and with that being said, makes him look younger than he really is.

Body: Warren isn't that big, however he isn't that small. He has be trained very well to use his body as an instrument and not something he throws at somebody because he thinks he can knock them down. He keeps a tan most of the year, but it's hard in the winter due to the long winters. He has exquisite muscle definition in his chest and back. He has a scar that reaches from the left side of his chest down to the right side of his stomach, almost like a huge forward-slash.

Arms: His arms are not huge in any way, but they are incredibly strong for their size. He doesn't work on building his muscles to be as big as his body, he works on conditioning them and defining them to take in pain and deliver pain. He works on them so that they are quick and accurate, not big and bulky. He has a tattoo of the word "ODDY" in Caligraphy form on his left arm, near his tricep.

Legs: Perhaps the strongest part of his body, he works daily on them and lifts more weight than most men twice his size can lift, which is weird because from a distance they look rather scrawny, but they're very powerful. He has a vertical jump higher than anybody he knows.

Ring Attire: Warren comes down to the ring in Guess blue jeans and a button-down dress shirt, untucked, with his hair spiked up in the front. He has his wrestling boots on underneath. When he gets into the ring, he takes off his dress shirt to reveal a long-sleeve white body shirt, which he keeps on along with his jeans, and wrestles in that.

History: Warren Engel was born on March 27th, 1986, in Charleston, West Virginia. He was born into a family of two half-brothers and one sister, which he get along okay with. Warren was kind of boy that avoided confrontation whenever he could because it always ended in a bad way. Whenever he was pressured, pushed around, or provoked, his agitator always ended up on his back. A lot of kids in school feared Warren from some of the things he had done and he felt outcasted, but that didn't stop him from trying and getting good grades in school. His attendance record was incredibly horrible, yet he finished high school with a B average, something a lot of kids his age couldn't do. When Warren was fifteen, he got into a fight at school with a kid who had brought a butterfly knife. This kid had hated Warren for a long time because he beat up one of his friends, so he grabbed Warren from behind and slit his chest from his top-left side down to his bottom-right side, creating a forward slash on his chest. Warren sought medical treatment for it and he went back to school a few weeks later, after healing and taking painkillers for the pain. The cut wasn't extremely deep, but it was deep enough to leave a scar forever, which is probably what the kid intended.

He didn't fight with his brothers that much, like it was said, Warren kept to himself. However, he talked to his sister a lot. He loved his sister more than anybody and was sometimes jealous a lot that she went over to the kid-next-door's house, rather than play with her own brother. He didn't think anything of it and didn't want to start anything with that kid, perhaps ruining his friendship with his sister. He was glad she was happy over there all the time, and glad that he could make her happy whenever she and him were together. By the time Warren got to high school, both of his brothers were out of college and living their own lives. His sister was in college, living her own life. He was left alone with his parents and he hated it. He never had anyone to help him out, he never had anyone to play with, except maybe a few friends here and there. He was grateful for those few friends, but he wanted more. He wanted a close family, he didn't want to be left out anymore. He came to the conclusion that it was never going to happen and moved out when he graduated from high school.

He moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and got a job at a local pizza restaurant, making a decent amount of money to support himself and a place for himself. It's mediocre and he feels he's just floating by, but when he moved to Pittsburgh he met a lot of interesting people. He knew his family had forgotten about him because they didn't even bother to care to look for him. Warren didn't tell anyone where he was going, where he ended up, or even left a phone number for anyone to call. He just vanished. He met a guy named Frank Patek, who was a mixed boxing trainer. Frank took Warren under his wing and taught him the ropes about boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling. Warren took to this very well and Frank was very impressed that he could learn complex fighting styles so fast.

A year passed and Warren was 19, still working in the same shithole, but still training and fighting with his trainer Frank Patek. Warren got to make a little money on the side with unliscensed boxing matches, which he enjoyed thoroughly. Frank nicknamed Warren "ODDY" in his boxing matches because Frank thought Warren to be an oddball. Warren revamped his nickname later on to "ODDYSEY". Warren was very good at unlicsensed boxing and only lost a few times. Frank was making a ton of money off of Warren. Warren brought up one night to Frank that he wanted to make a career out of fighting, but Frank shot the idea down. He told him that, even though he was great at it, he needs to go to college and get an education. Frank told Warren that he needed to find a real career, a real job, and stick with that, other than this fighting nonsense. Warren questioned Frank a lot on what he said because Warren loved to fight because he was good at it, he didn't do very well at his real job.

Warren got involved in some amateur boxing over the next few years and was successful. He was undefeated with ten knockouts. Frank was his manager throughout his fighting, but suffered an untimely death at the age of 45. Warren didn't box anymore after that, lost his job due to conflict with a customer, and sought refuge in his brother Matt. Matt has taken him in, been secretly training him against his better judgment, and Warren on February 15th, 2008 signed his first professional wrestling contract with the Pioneer Wrestling Assocation.
