IN-RING STRENGTHS: - With his elite speed and the stamina to match, Fantana's offense is often relentless.
- His quickness and natural athleticism lends itself to escaping impending danger.
- Hard-hitting strikes whether it be elbows, knees, or kicks.
- Nimble on the ropes.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES: - Often loses himself in the spectacle of the match, playing to the crowd before a big maneuver and leaving his opponent time to recuperate.
- Will take unnecessarily high risks (often aerial attacks) and consequently get burned if they fail.
- Unrefined submission game as a result of focusing on a more flashy offensive arsenal.
- Part of that fearlessness in the ring leaves him eating more shots than he should.
PERSONALITY AND GIMMICK: Fantana believes himself to be living vessel of the hopeless and disenfranchised, inviting the audience to live vicariously through him in the realm of "Fantanasy". He thinks himself a godsend to wrestling and conducts himself as the cult-leader of his own fandom, lovingly referred to as Fantana Fanatics.
BIOGRAPHY: Zack grew up during professional wrestling's boom in the 1980s-90s. He had no father figure in his life (raised by a single mother) so the brightly colored tights, glittery vests and tassels of the stars in the 80s basically represent the peak of masculinity to him. He's dedicated his entire career to becoming one of those fan favorites... to mixed results. While Zack's had quite a bit of success in his career in the ring, the crowd has never fully embraced him due to his grating personality. Ignoring the fact that the business has changed a great deal since the "Golden Age", Fantana still works those catchphrases and slogans hard, doing everything in his power to win the crowd over, including putting his body on the line in grandiose fashion inside and out of the ring.
Often that reckless style comes with consequences. In early 2016, Zack found himself on the sidelines after a concussion. It took him eight months to clear the sport's now-rigorous concussion protocol and by the time he returned, he discovered that all the connections he'd had in the business had disappeared and found he had little name recognition in today's social media landscape. He moved back to New York to work his way back up the ladder, working every Bingo hall and gymnasium to get back into shape. A contract and a fed closing later, he is now on AWE's doorstep.
