Hometown: Barrie, ON, CA

Enterance Music: "Dark Machine" - Paul Oakenfold

Alignment: Heel

Background Information:
APPEARANCE:
At six feet and three inches in height, Sands bears a passing resemblance to Sean O'Haire, though he's more slender and his face is narrower. His chin and cheekbones are strong, the nose is hawkish, and his green eyes are slightly angular. He has dark brown-black hair that he's recently let out; it's fairly wavy and thick, falling to his shoulders. His skin is an even bronze, accenting his already pronounced musculature. Christian's neck is quite thick, and his shoulders are pretty broad. A small death's-head is tattooed over his heart.
Sands' ring attire consists of a pair of glossy black biker-style shorts with red stripes down the outside of either thigh; the shorts have a sort of leathery texture. He wears tall black boots that tuck into black kneepads, and his hands are protected by fingerless black gloves. Black elbow pads protect his elbows.

PERSONALITY:
Sands is, quite simply, an evil egomaniacal genius. He loves himself more than anyone and believes that his agenda is all that matters. Despite this, he's deviously intelligent and highly calculating, able to scout out opponents' weaknesses and exploit them. (Think Triple H with the whole "Cerebral Assassin" deal.)

BACKGROUND:
Broke into the professional business in August of 2002, debuting on GXW's Onslaught by destroying two jobbers. Romped his way through the undercard before moving up in 2003, defeating "Kamikaze" Randy Cobb in the King of the Cage tournament and taking John Miller to his limits in that same tournament. Also saw action in SCW as a member of G.O.D., scoring victories over such notables as Sean "Triple X" Stevens, Kendall Codine, and Dallas Winston. Claimed the SCW International Title from Scott Johnson and feuded with Dan Ryan until SCW folded. In GXW, feuded with his brother Devon, who buried him under a woodpile and set him on fire to put him on the shelf for six months. Upon his return, Sands reappeared in NFW and scored a number of victories until running awry of Avery Prosser's Seven Deadly Sins. Returned to GXW with an unprovoked attack on Boogie Smallz, then wrestled Jean Rabesque at Battleground Britain 2004 in an epic 66-minute draw. At that same show Sands founded the New Team Phenom with Eric Davis and Clapper, laying out CSWA Champion Dan Ryan backstage. Also wrestled for EPW, where he defeated Beast to win his first World Title. Shortly afterwards, he signed a CSWA contract, which he later reneged on. Shortly afterwards he walked out on NFW, leaving that promotion behind to focus solely on Empire Pro. Back on the home front he feuded bitterly with Beast, eventually losing the title to him at Unleashed. However, he still stood tall alongside Lindsay Troy, helping her betray Beast and lay him out. He and Troy formed a tag-team at that point and took the EPW Tag-Team titles from the Cameron Cruise Project, which they held until Russian Roulette, when they were defeated by Blitz in Tag-Team Turmoil.

Currently Sands is on a sabbatical from wrestling, though rumor has it he's prepared to make a big singles return...

Enterance:

Normal Moves: Style: Hard-hitting power/technical seguing into submissions. Sands can wrestle extremely long matches and is overwhelmingly technically sound for his size. He typically overwhelms opponents with suplexes and power moves in the early going, usually working on the neck, before moving to his deadly array of submissions, with which he is highly proficient. Think a combination of Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, and Triple H.
