WRESTLER INFORMATION:
Name: Rocko Daymon
Nicknames: The TRUE Professional Wrestler; The Legend, The Myth, The MAN
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 243 lbs.
Handedness: Right
Looks: Caucasian, lightly toned male with defined bodily hair on the arms, legs, and chest. Dark brown hair buzzed down into a crew cut, brown eyes, and a well-groomed goatee that is sometimes accompanies with a five o’clock shadow. He has one tattoo in the center of his back, fist-sized, a hooped cross, and more on his shoulder and arms giving tribute to some of his favorite bands and others appearing runic in origin. Parts of his face and body are scarred from years of conflict. Not a pretty boy by any means, but his face holds a square-jawed, rugged appearance that appeals to some.
Hailing From: Tacoma, WA
Disposition: Tweener
Gimmick: Rugged, manly, down-to-earth brawler who's more about business and bull**** as soon as the bell rings. Similar to William Regal's "Real Man's Man" era, or that lumberjack guy you find on packages of Brawny paper towels. A chest rich with hair says it all.
Ring Attire: Daymon always competes in elbow pads, knee pads, wrestling boots, and fingerless grappling gloves, all black. His usual attire in the ring is typically cut-off jeans, but he sometimes alternates these with knee-length shorts in camo, khaki, or black denim.
Theme Music: "Death Is This Communion" by High On Fire
Ring Entrance:
The opening riffs from "Death Is This Communion" by High On Fire thunderously resound over the PA. The audience immediately begins to BOO LOUDLY as Caitlyn Daymon appears from the entry-way and stands at the top of the ramp with a mic in hand.
CDaymon: Ladies and gentlemen… introducing the man you’ve ALL been waiting to see! Hailing from “THE CITY OF DESTINY” Tacoma, Washington and weighing in at 243 pounds of PURE, RELENTLESS flesh and bone…
The Legend…
The Myth…
THE MAN…
RRRROOOOOOOCCCKKOOOOOO DAAAAAYYYYMMOOOOOONNN!!!!
An explosion PEALS over the stage as Rocko Daymon makes his entrance to a FLOOD of mixed reactions from those who hate him out of spite and those who know a TRUE professional wrestler when they see one! Rocko stares into the swarm for several moments with his fist held high in the air, then nods and smiles to his wife before the two make their way toward the ring, walking like professional wrestling royalty.
Tactics/Style: Well-rounded and eclectic in many schools, but vies for brawling and power techniques to put the real hurt on his opponents. Daymon’s usual ring strategy is to hit things off at a quick start and use a variety of rush and brawling moves to put his opponent stunned on the ground. When he fully has things in his control, he’ll switch to more powerful moves. He’s also known to hold back at certain points during a match to get a feel for his opponent’s style and adapt to it. He’ll also use the occasional submission move to work down on a pivotal part of his opponent’s body (legs for big guys, arms for power wrestles, neck and back for lighter opponents).
Strengths:
Experience – Daymon touts nearly a decade of professional wrestling experience. In that time, he has come to know the ins and outs of the professional wrestling ring, and come to experience a myriad of different types of athletes and personalities.
Durability – Rocko is a second-wind fighter in many cases. He’s been known to take excessive amounts of punishment in the ring, but keep coming back for more. This might escalate to a typical Hogan power-up moment during a match, as is also why his favored match is a Last Man Standing competition.
Brutality – Rocko is what many would consider a “stiff” wrestler. His moves and techniques hold a certain emphasis to put the absolute maximum hurt on his opponents. Daymon has a tendency to keep opponent’s dazed after a series of rushing attacks, and tends to go right for the throat after they let their guard down.
Weaknessess:
Wear and Tear – As to be expected with wrestlers getting on in years, Rocko has taken in a number of dents and dings that may affect his performance in the ring. Though he has managed to keep himself healthy for most of his career, there’s always the chance that an opponent may aggravate a previous knee, shoulder, or neck injury.
Stubbornness – He tends to be hard-headed on almost every account. Sometimes, he hears nothing but his own voice, and will still reject foreign insight even after losing a match. Rocko’s ideal image for THE professional wrestler causes him to sometimes lose sight of his duty as a professional wrestler: entertaining the fans. This character trait proves to be his downfall in some cases as he casts a blind-eye in the face of logic, which usually ends up costing him later on.
Lack of Technical Knowledge – While Rocko has some background in technical wrestling, his expertise pales in comparison to most mat experts. As a result, he’s prone to falling into a few minor submission holds or counter-attacks. Daymon’s consistent focus to try and brawl and overpower his opponent into a straight KO sometimes ends up costing himself more than his opponent.

MATCH STRATEGY
Rocko likes to start things off quick and intense, using a variety of rushing, striking, and sweeping moves to keep his opponent on the ground and to get the audience behind him. This barrage of attacks is usually finished with an opponent's counter. As he wears the opponent down through the match, Daymon switches from brawling to more power and technical wrestling moves. With the opponent exhausted from the initial foray, they're now more likely to fall victim to his holds and manuevers. For long, costing matches, Rocko will usually go the way of the spot monkey and go for a few top-rope dives. In terms of actual pacing, when Rocko has things going his way, he can tend to be a little brutal, especially if he's growing frustrated, and use his environment to wear away at his opponent. Rest holds are naturally thrown in there, but rarely does Rocko go for a submission hold unless the stips require it or he feels he has something to prove by making an opponent tap. More often, he goes for the knockout than the extended pain.
MANAGER INFO
Manager Name: Caitlyn Daymon
Relation: Rocko's Wife
Disposition: ALWAYS Heel.
Interferes: Yes.
Personality: Caitlyn plays the perfect foil to Rocko's overly-manliness. While he occassionally drones on about vague concepts such as respect and honor, Caitlyn is always at his side as a constantly annoying voice of reason, often seeing eye to eye with Rocko's opponents. In a way, she gives him more gray hairs than the actual business, but in spie of their mutual animosity for one another, they are still very fond of each other. Caitlyn is, by all means, a SUPER *****--and she's willing to go to any lengths to help her husband succeed (even if he may not always want her help).
Angling: As part of their marriage counselor's advice, Rocko and Caitlyn have rejuvenized their constantly rocky relationship by being more physical in their spite. Either of them will sometimes go as far as to STRIKE the other one if they get angry enough, though it's usually retaliated. In other words, don't be surprised if the two of them actually get into a brawl, as it's usual thing for them, and it's mostly considered as their way of "working things out" as opposed to an all-out domestic dispute.
CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY:
Rocko Daymon boasts some nine years of professional wrestling experience spanning over various present and past federations. Daymon made his start in SCW in the late nineties with his wife and manager, Caitlyn, where he had some success until the federation closed in 2002. With its closure, Daymon joined up with numerous federations including WFW, EPW, NEW, EUWC, and A1E, granting him an eclectic perspective on the always changing and growing professional wrestling industry.
Rocko has touted himself as a “no bull****” kind of wrestler who rejects false gimmicks and angles, believing that those worthy of titles and spotlight are the true athletes and personalities that grace the ring. His definition of what a “true” professional wrestler is has been agreed with and contested alike by many of his peers and opponents. But one thing nobody can deny is that when Rocko Daymon enters the ring and the bell rings, he always puts up a true fight.
Though born and raised in the Midwest, Daymon moved to the West Coast in his late teens where he met his wife, Caitlyn. The two of them compete as professional athletes, residing in Tacoma with their two children, Kincaid and Garnet.
