If your wrestler is from or around the Holston Community, please explain his ties to the community:
Jack grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the legend of Holston as WrestleTown was already growing. He never participated in Greco-Roman school wrestling, but, his days spent on the indy circuit had him see more and more of each of the wrestlers trying to make it big who were once Holston Huskies. Now, however, Jack sees Holston as a place that he could dig his roots into once his professional wrestling career is over... Maybe a place where all of the horrors wouldn't know where to look.

Brief Character Overview: Jack is a standard-bearer. He is honorable, he is trustworthy, and he'll never break the rules. Jack will also go to any lengths to please the fans, even if that means pushing himself to near-death during a match to put on a good show... He'll do it.
Provide Brief Commentary Regarding Your Wrestler's Views on:
(1) Authority / Wrestletown Management
- Jack is a very honorable guy, so, of course he toes the company line. However, due to getting screwed over by wrestling management in the past, Jack is always leery of authority in wrestling companies, believing that their interests lie in lining their pocket, not best serving their employees.
(2) Other Wrestlers
- Jack has a respect for all other face wrestlers, and will approach every match with them in a very business-like manner, observing all ring-etiquette. Jack hates heels, however, immediately going after them with all the animosity he has in him.
(3) The Sport in General
- At this point in his career, and in his life, Jack is incredibly jaded by professional wrestling. Now, it's not so much something that he loves doing (as he did early in his life); it's more about how he performs in the ring as a means to an end. Jack likes to think of wrestling as the one thing that can put the pieces of his life back together.
(4) The Fans in General
- Evans loves fans. He will not stop at any lengths to try and please them. If that means jumping off of a ladder onto a flaming table to perform a frog splash onto an opponent, then Jack will do it. He lives for the joy in their voices as they chant his name. He relishes every opportunity to sign autographs, to take pictures with fans, to constantly engage with the fans.
(5) The Townies of Holston
- Same as above. Jack loves the Townies of Holston, minus the ones who he has bad run-ins with. The number one person that Jack would not like would be Caspar, but, as of right now, nothing has been said. Evans is also Catholic, which would have him constantly engaging with Pastor Matt Doyle.

In-Ring Strengths:
*Enduring - Jack Evans can withstand more punishment than should be humanly possible. Being a veteran of hundreds, if not thousands, of extreme matches, Jack knows how to dig deep and keep standing long after his opponent has wore out.
*Experience on the Front Lines - Jack has battled with some of the biggest legends and in front of some of the most intense crowds there ever have been. It's incredibly hard for an opponent to be more craft than, or to outsmart, Jack.
In-Ring Flaws:
*Slow and Steady - Jack is getting up there in years, and as he does, his speed in the ring has started to vanish. That is to say, he was never the fastest man on the planet anyways, but now, his quickness is gone and he has trouble with aerial combatants.
*Scarred - Evans is, for lack of a better word, battered. His entire life he has been beaten and broken in almost every way imaginable, including both mentally and physically. This has truly began to take a toll on Jack, wearing him down more and more as each day passes.
In-Ring Attitude: In the ring, Jack is as steady as a rock. His attitude is simple, his job is to work hard, win the match, and make sure the fans have a great time watching the match. All other obligations fall to the wayside.
BIOGRAPHY
There was a time when the name Jack Evans was held in high regard in the wrestling world. During the early '90s, when Jack was first coming through the indy circuit in Pennsylvania (including a brief stint at a small company based out of Philadelphia that broke all the extreme rules) and throughout the New England states, fans flocked to come see "The Steel City Saint" put on one hell of a show for them. Even at that age, Jack was known for his endurance and stamina inside of the ring, constantly lasting through table breaks and chair shots. The fans loved it and Jack loved the fans. As did the big-wigs at a national company based in the UK. Jack signed quickly, becoming their star Stateside attraction as the company tried to form a branch in the US.
As they always do, good things must come to an end. The big company Jack was signed with was one of the first to phase out the 'Attitude Era' and hardcore rules for the more soap opera-esque 'Sports Entertainment', and with it, the old guard like Jack fell to the wayside. Before long, Jack had fallen from the Main Events to not being billed at all... Then, without a job. Recently married, Jack was struggling to make due, recovering from the violence that his body had been put through... Which led to his turn to alcohol.
An opening in Japan called Jack back to the ring, and there, across the Pacific, Jack was king again. As The Land of the Rising Sun embraced deathmatches, Jack became a staple of the Japanese hardcore scene. But, his alcohol problems had followed him across the Ocean. He became unreliable, not showing up at shows that he didn't want to attend to... He started partying more than wrestling, and his life began a downward spiral. Jack, the standard bearer, "The Sentinel", had become another wrestler turned dark. He hated himself for it. But, the bottom of the bottle still called to him.
After years of stopping in on indy shows, collecting small appearance fees, and trying to piece his life back together, Jack heard about the opening in WrestleTown. Even as far away as Pittsburgh, Holston was well known. And it was here, in WrestleTown, that Jack decided to put his life back together. Here is where he wanted to reestablish himself. Now he's sober and trying to reconnect with his family, hoping that they don't hate him... Or much worse, that they don't become him.
