The Rogues Gallery.
MEMBERS:
Levi Silvera.
Shaun Kasiano.
OTHER NAMES:
The Rogues.
The Disciples of CATCHDEATH.
Complete Fucking Bastards of Wrestling.
COMBINED WEIGHT:
484 pounds (219 kilograms)
PICTURE BASES:
Kevin Ku (Levi Silvera).
Dominic Garrini (Shaun Kasiano).
CHARACTER DISPOSITION:
Neutral Evil Heel. The Rogues embody the mentality of 'no honor amongst thieves.' They strive for themselves and themselves alone with no regard for honor, sportsmanship, and fairness. In fact, it's safe to say they conform the the opposite ideal. While they tend to battle within the parameters of a wrestling match, they will push the envelope as much as they possibly can, occasionally just to see what they can possibly get away with. They're essentially hitmen, headhunters, and straight up mat bullies.
GIMMICK:
"You can't make a revolution wearing white gloves."
Merchants of CATCHDEATH, products of an initiative spearheaded by Finnegan Wakefield and his CSA; he took the most dangerous of pupils and put them through the most grueling training year of their lives to condition them for a hostile takeover of any and every territory they step foot in. The tag team landscape for the longest time has been occupied by hooligans looking for relevance and singles-competitors taking advantage of a weak market. The Rogues Gallery aren't afraid to be the villains in the story, because villains live forever in an industry full of wannabe heros.
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
When it's necessary.
STRENGTHS:
Calculated Brutality. You'll be hard-pressed to find a tandem better skilled at isolating an opponent and making them earn every inch they can possibly get to the salvation of a tag to a fresh man. They'll pick apart limbs, sandbag you with their entire weight, and take whatever shot they can to keep the proverbial fly in their web.
High Pain Thresholds. Both men come from legitimate martial arts backgrounds and have been put through some of the most grueling professional wrestling training over the last year by one of the most cerebral minds in the game. The teams endurance is something to envy, and their ability to widdle yours down to its limit early is something to fear.
WEAKNESSES:
Looking For Trouble. I know, I know; looking for trouble isn't a weakness if you can back it up. The team LOVES being Public Enemy #1 wherever they go. The problem with making yourselves the locker room pariahs, however, is making the world your enemy means the world will one day want to get their payback.
Tunnel Visioned. The team of Silvera and Kasiano are both men who seek grudges from others and hold grudges towards others. They'll occasionally drop the primary objective for a more selfish one whenever the opportunity pops up.
WEAPON OF CHOICE:
Steel Chairs; primarily to Pillmanize.
REAL LIFE COMPARISONS:
ReDRagon. Sumerian Death Squad. The WorkHorsemen. The Minnesota Wrecking Crew. The North.
