Wrestler Name: Karl “The Dragon” Brown
Real Name: Karl Brown

Height: 6’0”

Weight: 211lbs

Hometown: Nottingham, England

Entrance Music: “Rainmaker” by Iron Maiden.

Entrance: The lights cut out seconds before “Rainmaker” blasts over the PA. As soon as the guitars kick in, green and white lights flash around the arena. “The Dragon” steps out from behind the curtain as the lyrics kick in, taking a quick look around the arena before walking to the ring, high-fiving fans and signing the occasional autograph. When he reaches the ring, he vaults over the top rope and stands on the middle rope, pointing out at and saluting the fans. On special occasions his entrance is largely the same, except for the use of fireworks when he steps from behind the curtain, and flames shooting up into the air from the corners as he stands on the second rope.

Alignment: Face

Background Information:
Appearance: Rather resembling an early ‘90’s Brian Pillman facially, only more angluar. He’s well toned, but not freakishly so, and his light blond/brown hair is normally kept short. His brown eyes seem to burn and always look focused. He has a scar on his left arm, but other than that no distinguishing features. In the ring, he wears a pair of tights in two colours, one main and one as a dragon (blue with white dragon, white with red dragon, green with white dragon, red with black dragon, etc.), whilst on the way to the ring he also hears a full-length dark green leather jacket with a black dragon piped across the shoulders and back.

Personality: Karl his own company. He can talk to anyone, and is remarkably intelligent with a keen insight to life. His mood seems to fluctuate between a happy, more outgoing and respectful personality and a darker, almost depressed one.

History: English born and bred, his first encounter with wrestling was watching an American PPV on TV. He admired the strength and strategy in the matches, and decided he would make it into pro-wrestling. He attended university in England, moving to Japan and Canada during holidays to learn how to wrestle. He learnt a lot from watching old matches featuring Bret Hart, Brian Pillman, Ricky Steamboat, Ted Dibiase and Jake Roberts. He carefully studied how to use the ring to his advantage, and quickly caught the eye of his trainers as having a natural talent, although he did scare trainers in Japan by performing a top rope German suplex to the outside of the ring in a training match. Having played rugby when younger, he does have some injuries, noticeably one to his left knee, but these only served to build a tolerance to pain.

He broke into wrestling with MCW, rising from obscurity to pick up victories over Andrew Dalton and Christian Sands in his first two professional matches. His first loss came the Mayhem Mountain main event at Culture Shock to Adam Benjamin, plummeting through the top of the cell in the process. He was set for a rematch against Benjamin and Sands for the title at the next PPV, but the company unfortunately folded shortly before hand. Brown took his skills to Empire Pro and the National Wrestling League, quickly gaining experience and fans in each. In what many claim as a match of the year candidate in NWL, he took Maelstrom to a draw when the time elapsed just as Karl looked to have won the match. Finishing second in the WLS after a sudden death match loss to Maelstrom, Brown certainly showed what he could do.

However, it was in Empire Pro Wrestling that “The Dragon” cemented his place in wrestling. After defeating Mike Diamond in the first match on the inaugural Aggression, he participated in a number of well-received matches, including one-on-one encounters with Christian Sands and Adam Benjamin. He also participated in the first HWF Natural Selection tournament, placing third. Yet, for all the potential he showed, championship gold eluded him.

In 2005, he finally defeated long-time rival Adam Benjamin to be crowned the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship. The joy would be short lived, as another Dragon, Eric Davies, attacked him from behind, jealous that another wrestler be known as “The Dragon”. This led to a match between the two at the first Russian Roulette, where Brown won the sole rights to be called “The Dragon”. Following some further matches against fellow up-and-comers such as Issac Byrnes (also known as John Doe), Brown was given some time off to rehabilitate an old knee injury, further delaying his Intercontinental Championship match.

After taking a couple of months off, Brown came back, challenging IC Champion Cameron Cruise to a title match. Fate had other intentions, however, as Sebastian Dodd, the former Intercontinental Champion, declared that he was going to get a rematch before Brown could have his chance. Then to make the situation more confusing, Cruise was stripped of the title when Joey Melton tricked him into appearing to endorse a rather less than appropriate cause, and the upcoming Brown and Dodd match was changed to a match for the vacant title. However, Dodd did not make it to the arena, meaning Brown’s opponent was switched to the special guest referee for the night’s main event, former IC Champion, JA. Brown defeated the Anglo Luchador in a hard-fought encounter between the two light-weights, finally claiming the gold many had predicted for him since his first match. 2005 also saw Brown place fourth in the HWF’s second Natural Selection one-night tournament, as well as progressing to the final of the inaugural TEAM Invitational Tournament and taking EPW World Champion Lindsay Troy to a time limit draw in a non-title vs. non-title match.

2006 began as 2005 had ended for “The Dragon”, with a win in the TEAM Invitational Tournament final against Viktor Molotov. Success seemed to follow “The Dragon” as he defended the IC title against Cameron Cruise, “Sensational” Steven Shane, JA and Joey Melton. He teamed with Lindsay Troy and Joey Melton, picking up the pin against Troy Windham’s Entourage, and earning a place in the Unleashed 6-way World Title match. Although Brown was unsuccessful in his first EPW World Title match, Brown gained a lot of respect for his dedication to the ring, even temporarily ending Beast’s EPW career by eliminating him shortly before a Sean Stevens superkick took Brown out of the match.

With 2006 fast coming to a close and more successful title defences, “The Dragon” started working more frequently with his friend, Foxx. The two started training together as Foxx fought to win the TV Title, but would meet for Karl’s Intercontinental Championship at 2007’s Russian Roulette. In a physical encounter in which Brown showed a rarely-seen vicious streak, Foxx was able to hold her own until a Dragon Suplex which was meant to send her through the announce table ended with her missing the table, landing on the arena floor on the back of her neck. The match was ended with fears that Brown had broken his friend’s neck, but he callously seemed indifferent once she was in the ambulance.

Whatever effect this had on “The Dragon” is unclear, but what happened next is unmistakable. The next Aggression, Brown fought Troy Douglas and The Sergeant in a triple-threat match for his title. He had first fought Douglas for the right to challenge for the title in 2004, and many predicted the bout would come down to these two, but it was Sergeant who seized the opportunity, dethroning “The Dragon” just a month away from the two-year anniversary of the JA/Brown contest.

Having lost the Intercontinental title, many thought Brown would move on to win the World Heavyweight Championship; however, Brown decided against signing a contract renewal, stating that he had done everything he’d wanted to do in professional wrestling. He had one final match, a loss in TEAM against Larry Tact, and hasn’t been seen on TV as a wrestler since.

Two years on, and a career as a radio presenter later, he’s returned to action in the company that made him a star.

Ring Style: A combination technical and flyer. He's more technical with speed, although he can brawl as well. He's a 5th dan in Taekwondo and will use strikes when he has to. If you were to compare him with other wrestlers, it'd be a combination of Bret Hart, Jushin Liger, Owen Hart and Brian Pillman.

Finishing Move:
Dragon’s Bite

Finishing Move Description:
Kicks opponent in back, sets them up similar to a dragon sleeper, but lifts them so they are vertical above the mat, before planting them head first into the mat (Dragonsleeper meets implant DDT/brainbuster)
