CHARACTER INFORMATION
Alignment: Heel
Gimmick: Jake Smith is bona fide scum of the Earth. A man loved by few and villified by all, it has created one hell of a career for him, and that’s what fuels his ego. He continues his Elite Answers Wrestling career despite having proved all that he needed to because he knows that the job is not finished. He doesn’t just want to be one of the best; he wants to be the best. He wants to stand at the very top of the professional wrestling world, with no competition in sight. How he’ll do it is anyone’s guess, but no matter what, he’ll always be shameless in his nature.
Inspirations:
- Maxwell Jacob Friedman (Current)
- Edge (‘04-’10)

Special Entrance: N/AMOTIVATIONS
What are your character’s motivations?: To further his legacy as an Elitist and go after the illustrious third World Championship that he’s always sought. Jake is always under the belief that the world is against him, and that they’re counting him out and believing that there is no chance in hell that he’s going to do what he set out to do, but regardless, he likes his odds. He knows that it was never going to be easy, and that it was always in his nature to prove people wrong.

NOTES
- Despite his actions, Jake Smith is actually a very talented wrestler. Please remember that. He doesn't HAVE to take these measures, he simply chooses to.
- Has cowardly heel tendencies on occasion, depending on the situation. Most of the time, though, is a cutthroat, ruthless heel.
