TEAM INFORMATION
GROUP NAME: The Lumberjacks
MEMBERS: Dan & Doug Lupone
COMBINED WEIGHT: 625lbs
HOMETOWN: The Yukon, Canada
HEIGHT: Both 6ft 8ins
ALIGNMENTS: Face- You wouldn't exactly call them nice and friendly people, but it can't be denied that it's fun to watch them absolutely demolish other teams. Also, this is should go without saying, but they tend to get MASSIVE ovations when in Canada.
Gimmick: The two identical rugged mountain men are defined by three things
Being VERY big
Being very Canadian
Being VERY good at fighting.
Despite not winning Ground Zero Season 3, having lost in the finals in HIGHLY questionable circumstances, The BOYS FROM THE YUKON were the clear standouts of the season, having cut through the rest of the rookies like an axe through a tree. While it may have taken a while for them to get their main roster contract, the two massive north-of-the-border bearded bruisers are set to take their collective axes to the forest of FWA.
Wrestling Styles:
Really, this is a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
On the surface, as you might expect from two monsters weighing over 300 pounds and standing nearly 7 feet, they tend to use their MASSIVE size to overwhelm and dominate their opponents with their INTENSE brawling style. But there's more to the story than that, and it speaks to the rather interesting dynamic between the Lupone twins.
To point it bluntly, Doug Lupone is good. VERY good. For such a big guy, he also happens to be surprisingly agile and athletic for a man his size. He's able to pull off moves and spots that a man his size shouldn't be able to, often being compared to Lucha Legend Chubby Carlos in his ability to move like a tank with the engine of a BMW. If you'll look up any highlight real of The Lumberjacks, 99% of those moves would be some kind of cool move by Doug....
....And Dan is also there;
A popular but cruel joke in the wrestling community;
"Q: How do you tell the Lumberjacks apart?"
A: "Doug's the good one."
Which isn't fair on Dan. Dan Lupone isn't a bad wrestler by any stretch of the imagination; he works hard and is highly respected, but the cold truth is, he's often outshined by the natural talent of his brother. At the end of the day, Dan wrestles like you'd think someone his size would; basic power moves and clubbing blows, and while there's no problem with that, it looks bad compared to his brother's exciting style.. It's like if Keith Lee teamed up with Bam Neely.
Many have suggested that the two brothers would be better off breaking up, leaving Doug free to tear it up with the likes of Jon Snowmantashi in a HOSS battle in japan and Dan wouldn't be so dreadfully exposed as he tends to be teaming with his brother, but both refuse to abandon their brother, and if they're going to make it to the top, they will do so together.
