Gimmick & Backstory:
Slate Bass has gone by many names, but all fail in comparison to his newest moniker, that being the owner of Liberty or Death Wrestling. Once the "Head Pimp in Charge", Slate has evolved into a methodical, ruthless yet reasonable, and perhaps superior, form of himself. He has come to be known as the most "Torn" man in existence, but what he is torn between is known only to himself and his wife Eden. Having been in the likes of NGW, IWT (briefly) and holding the accolade of being the longest reigning champion in RWK before its mysterious and controversial closure, Slate Bass is no stranger to the limelight. He has wrestled all across the globe, traveling first class between his home in [REDACTED], California and various other locations, going through quite possibly all there is to go through in the sports entertainment industry. Some may see him as unbridled evil, some may see him as a hurt man trying to do good, but regardless of how this tortured soul is viewed, he is respected and feared by most. After a storied career, which is far from over, Slate Bass and his wife Eden have founded Liberty or Death Wrestling in New Hampshire as a way of dominating a new frontier, keeping their careers contained within the states (for the most part) and to continue influencing destiny. They do this alongside their daughter, "Keres", that was born after the closure of RWK.

Entrance: With lights dimmed, and the only graphic playing being his entrance video, Slate enters into a spotlight on the stage the second time his name appears on the titantron.
In his right hand he holds a Martini glass (filled with different drinks each time) while his left hand is in the left pocket of his slacks.
He stands for a few seconds and calmly walks down the ramp. Once he reaches ringside, Slate downs whatever is in his Martini glass, and places it on the apron for the camera to focus on as he enters the ring.

Character Name: Eden (Martinelli/Bassignani)
Nicknames: "The Seamstress of Reality"
Representation:

Zahra Schreiber

Billed-From: [REDACTED], California
Age: 31
Height: 5'8
Weight: 120 lbs
Disposition: Undefined
Gimmick & Backstory:
Eden is the wife of Slate Bass and a founder of Liberty or Death Wrestling. By his side almost every waking moment, she is arguably leagues more dangerous and manipulative than Slate could ever be, without needing to step in the ring...unless she wants to. Her mind and methods know no bounds, she is truly the essence of indiscriminate evil, fair in what she does to all, finding joy in both the success and misfortune caused by her and Slate. Now being a mother, it remains to be seen what effect, if any, this will have on her and her agenda. Being at the helm of a wrestling company of her own, however, makes her astronomically more powerful.

In-Ring/Entrance Attire:

Spoiler: Attire

This

but without the rainbow flag and rainbow bootlaces.

Theme music:


"DIE FREE" by FIREFLIGHT Feat. Kevin Young
Entrance: At 10 seconds into her music, Eden appears on the stage (either with her hands on her hips or holding her baby, depends on the situation). She pulls a rose from behind her back and licks the stem as the camera zooms in on her face, She tosses the rose behind her and walks down to ringside. Once ringside, she circles the ring (if holding her baby, she gently places it in a carriage by the timekeeper before she continues circling the ring), ending back on hardcam side. She sits on the apron and lays back in a seductive manner before suddenly pulling herself sideways under the bottom rope. Now in the ring, she leans in the corner, with her arms crossed and a devilish smirk on her face.

In-Ring Style: MMA inspired, very precise. Loves elongating pain.

Seatbelt Neck Crank & Chokehold ("The Rapture") {Protected Finish}
