Mini Biography
Gerald was always one for the thrill. He is a lover of extreme sports. At a young age, Gerald took up motocross and was a favorite of his. Not only did motocross take up his time, but he took up boxing as well. With those two things taking up his time, Gerald didn't do so well in school. In fact, he just did enough to get by. As he grew older, he tried a bunch of other extreme sports. However, that meant that he has suffered a lot of injuries but that didn't stop Gerald from his love of extreme sports. Now, he enters FWA to challenge himself to experience one of the biggest thrills of them all - getting in the ring with some of the best wrestlers the world has to offer.

Entrance Description:
Gerald comes out and starts getting pumped himself as he's jumping all around the stage. He goes to one corner of the stage and tries to get the crowd pumped as well. He goes over to the other side and does the same thing. He finally settles in in middle of the stage before he looks up to the sky and points up with his two hands. Before long, he runs down the ramp and slaps hands with people in the front row. As he enters the ring, he slingshots himself in in a corner before doing some stretches to get ready for his opponent.

History, in-ring style and team dynamic
Originally put together as part of 2020’s Elite Tag Team Classic, the two got off on the wrong foot thanks to Gerald Grayson directly benefiting from the lead pipe attack on MvH, as he managed to capture the FWA X Division Championship after she vacated it. This led to a rocky start for the pair, though over time they developed into an odd couple with a shared purpose. They came up just short in the tournament, losing in the final match at Mile High 2020 against Golden Rock, who would go on to feud with TxR and later the Gang Stars in widely applauded tag team matches whilst Gerald Grayson and MvH quietly went their separate ways.
This was, of course, thanks to their separation in the brand split, with Grayson going to Fallout and von Horrowitz finding herself on Meltdown. Grayson’s trade to Meltdown as part of the Mile High 2021 show, and their subsequent reunion at the climax of Michelle’s match against Cyrus Truth, indicated that they would soon reform to again hunt the FWA World Tag Team Championships. This was confirmed by Jon Russnow’s announcement of ‘Tag Warz’ later in the evening, for which the Grayson and von Horrowitz Connection will reunite. The duo have also declared their entry into the forthcoming Tag Team Classic, a cross-brand tournament with the Clique Wrestling Alliance.
As mentioned, von Horrowitz and Grayson are a bit of an odd couple, with MvH always looking to bend or stretch the rules as much as she can, whilst Gerald Grayson acts as the voice of reason and justice, and will often talk her out of some of her more dastardly strategic decisions. For instance, Michelle might get a table out, set it up, and then turn back to her desired victim, only to find the table has been put away by the time she returns to it. Turnbuckle covers will be reattached, steel chairs removed from ringside as a pre-emptive measure, etc etc.
MvH still relies on her technical-brawling style but highlights the high flying aspects of her in-ring style, with Grayson sticking to his speed-based offense.

SAMPLE RP
"Finally."
---
We transition to another scene where it seemed like any other say as the scene opens to a garage with the sounds of tools hitting each other. I was fixing and old bike of mine and the many sounds coming from it could definitely be heard around the house. I knew it would happen but I didn't think it'd happen this quick. Not sure why I felt that way but it's all happening so fast. But I knew I was ready.
I put my wrench down and the clang of it hitting the cement was like music to my ears. Weird huh? With my hands free, I finally start up the bike. It started to purr for sure but after a few moments, it went out with a whimper.
"God damn it. I guess that wasn't the problem with it. This is gonna take longer than I thought."
I wipe the sweat that formed on my forehead. I take a short break and head towards the mini cooler in the garage. Let's see, beer, more beer, ahh, a bottle of water. Let's go with that one. I take a bottle of water and take a few sips before pouring the rest of the water on top of my head. What a great feeling.
As I throw the water bottle away...
*RING RING RING*
I walk towards my phone and see the name on the called ID - Ryan Rondo.
"Finally."
I let it ring a few times just to collect myself and didn't want to make myself seem too eager. After a few moments, I finally answered.
"Hello, Gerald Grayson here."
"Finally."
