BASIC INFORMATION
Birth Name: Karlisle Jeremiah
Wrestling Name: Impact
Pic Base: Jericho
Current Nicknames: The Quintessential Champion
Height: 6'1
Weight: 221
Date of Birth: 12/5/1979
Place of Birth: Seattle, Washington
Now Resides: Seattle, Washington
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Disposition/Alignment: Ruthless Heel
Gimmick: Impact is the classic bad guy who earnestly believes he's a good dude, only a much more extreme example of the archetype. His appreciation for all forms of culture is evident in the many references he makes in his promos. Impact has, at last, gained an inner peace with himself after years spent in turmoil as parts of mixed tag teams in various promotions and general career disorder after a wildly successful singles run made up the majority of his first five years in the business (2008-2013). A key theme in the modern incarnation of Impact is that he clearly wasn't satisfied with himself for many years despite being one of wrestling's most well-regarded and decorated performers. He takes accountability for the misjudgments he made in groups like Hexa-gun and The Mercenaries, and he looks back with anger on his run as EAW Champion from 2016 and 2017. Sure, he'll tout his accomplishments and his influence to the style, but in the same breath he'll be his own biggest critic, and that's what makes him unique. He's hella full of himself, clearly, but self-aware enough to know when his shit smells particularly foul. Always had the world-class talent, but his life was a grind until he found that inner peace. His self-satisfaction isn't synonymous with self-congratulation. He doesn't want to paint himself as a vanity achiever but as a wrestler who breathes new life into everything he touches rather than relying on his established position in the old guard. Verbally a gunslinger who will regularly use colorful words, use hand signals, and be generally animated. The character of Impact can be best summed up as exactly that -- a true character.
You might find him casually listening to The Joe Rogan Experience, or barge in on him in his locker room vibing to "What You Won't Do for Love" by Bobby Caldwell, or being a pool shark at the billiards table, all the while flashing his unmistakable grin.
RINGSIDE INFORMATION
Theme Music: Intro - "M3tamorphosis" - Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi
Entrance: Emerald green strobe lights center on Impact with his back turned in a Jesus pose. As the lyrics start in "M3tamorphosis" he gyrates forward with double fist pumps, engaging the crowd - hostile or hospitable depending on alignment or circumstance - sometimes exposing his bottom row of teeth in homage to the late, great Kobe Bryant's signature Mamba Scowl. After sauntering down to the ring, Impact energetically enters, shaking and stretching the ropes. This behavior varies depending on the seriousness of the circumstance.
