TWITTER @: thatryderdude
PRIMARY FIGHTING STYLE: Brawler
SECONDARY FIGHTING STYLE: Striker
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
Sneaky, not afraid to take shortcuts and slip some cheap shots under the referee's radar.
Competent all-round wrestler though by no means spectacular.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
Gets overconfident
Likes to show off, which may lead him to protract finishes and cost him matches he might otherwise have won, or won quicker.
Struggles against wrestling machines and bigger men.
Can underestimate opponents, which can be an equalizer for said opponents.
May be ring-rusty after half a year of downtime recovering from a concussion.
PERSONALITY AND GIMMICK:
'Loveable bully.' Ryder is a self-confessed 'troll', thinks far too highly of himself, and will not hesitate to take shortcuts if they present themselves during a match. At the same time, however, he has something of a sense of justice, which manifests itself mostly in his aversion to sneak attacks outside of or before matches (he considers these lame and unnecessary, as he knows he's good enough to 'pwn' fresh opponents without the need for such tactics.) In fact, somewhere deep down inside Ryder, there appear to be the makings of a good person - it's just that his ego overrides them most of the time.
BIOGRAPHY:
Very little is known about the personal life of the wrestler known as Ryder Blade, other than the fact that he is sponsored by Sprintex Corp., makers of the energy drink of the same name. An anonymous source tentatively identified Blade as Northwestern independent-scene hopeful Jordan Jacobs, but when contacted about this knowledge, Sprintex Corp. - for whom Blade is the official spokesperson - had no comment.
In wrestling, this athlete has carved a reputation for himself at Visionaries of Wrestling, at one point holding all but one of the company's records. While he eventually lost all those accolades, he was still the holder of the longest Xcel Championship reign - and second longest reign in company history overall - at the time of VoW's closure.
Blade reportedly contracted a concussion during his last match at VoW, forcing him to put his career on hold for a period of around six months. He is now said to be cleared for competing once more.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- Longest single Championship reign in VoW history
- 13-match undefeated streak in VoW (April 2015-February 2016)
- Longest undefeated streak in VoW history (13 matches)
- Best overall W/L ratio in VoW roster history (22-5-0)
- Highest number of successful title defences in VoW Xcel Championship history (3)
- Second highest number of successful defences of any title in VoW history (behind Ziu Zhong)
- Longest overall number of days as Xcel Champion (243 days, beating out Stacy Jones' combined 221 days)
- Longest single Xcel Championship reign in VoW history (as of 13-10-2015)
- King Of The Cage 2015 Quarter-Finalist
- Undefeated on VoW Breakthrough (Feb 2015 - Aug 2016)
RING ATTIRE: Bright red tights with the logo for the energy drink his father's company markets, Sprintex, on the back and over the knees. Matching shoes. During his entrance, he also wears a matching sleeveless hooded vest, a la AJ Styles, with the hood up.

MANAGER INFORMATION
NAME:
- 'Big' Mike Billings (aka 'Big Dogg')
- Kyrill Andreev (aka 'K-Dogg')
Collectively (informally) known as the Goon Squad or the Henchmen
PICTURE BASE:
- Big Mike: Terry Crews
- Kyrill: Nick Frost
PERSONALITY TRAITS AND TENDENCIES:
- Big Mike is a no-nonsense security enforcer who is quite a humorous and caring guy behind the scenes. He usually takes the blame for both himself and his partner when the security team fail to protect Ryder.
- Kyrill is a glutton and prone to non-sequiturs and unintentionally hilarious comments in private or during downtime, but only slightly less competent than Mike when push comes to shove. Any situations when the Goon Squad aren't successful in defending Ryder tend to come from oversights or failures on his part.
INTERFERENCE/INVOLVEMENT TENDENCIES:
- Will attempt if Ryder is in major jeopardy. Will otherwise hang back and watch from ringside.
- Will intercept anyone who runs down to attack Ryder, or at least attempt to.
