Physical Description
While not as muscled as his partner, Dustin makes up for it a wiry frame that has plenty in common with a steel trap primed to go off at a moment's notice. He has dirty blonde hair that's brushed back, nearly reaching his shoulders.
For ring gear, everything he wears matches the gear of his partner to a tee. Both wear black leather vests and black leather chaps down to the ring. Both wear a black cowboy hat, usually making gestures mocking Jack Lynch or the Lynch Family in general. Both wear black wrist tape, black trucks and black cowboy boots.

Entrance & Presentation
RO: And THEIR opponents... from Dallas, Texas, weighing in at a combined 509 pounds and accompanied by Bobby O’Connor...
[The opening guitar riff to "The Fall" by Place of Skulls begins to play.]
Jason Whittaker and Dustin Sanderson...
THE BLACKJACKS!!
[The drums kick in, the curtains fly open, and out walk the black clad cowboys themselves. They each hold a side of the curtains open, as out walks Bobby O'Connor. O'Connor walks slightly ahead, only to turn around and point at both men.]
#The father of lies, the tempter's crown#
#Unrighteous souls will keep us bound#
#But innocent blood shed from thee#
#The stripes you wore were for me#
[The trio walk down the aisle, O'Connor clasping his hands together as if in a prayer as the two Blackjacks bookend him with scowls on their faces. Sanderson holds a hand up, making the sign of the Claw to a ton of boos as Whittaker cuts his thumb across his throat.]
#I long to understand#
#What the creator has done for man#
#Can our feeble minds comprehend?#
#We started to die when we began#
[O'Connor is the first to climb up onto the ring apron and enter the ring, as the Blackjacks climb up onto opposing corners of the apron. O'Connor points to both corners as the two men climb up to the second turnbuckles, raising their arms.]

Character & Presentation
Heel
In-Ring Repertoire
Finisher
Bulldog [After slapping on a side headlock, he climbs to the bottom rope to give him extra momentum before bringing his opponent crashing to the mat.]
Signature Moves
Sanderson Claw [Used largely to mock their former mentor Blackjack Lynch, Dustin's version differs from the original as he violently shakes the opponent back and forth by the head... hoping to cause serious neck injury.]
Superplex [He always executes this si he can land close to his team's corner, using it more as a setup for his partner to finish off the opponent with a power move than as a match ender in its own right.]
Other Moves
DDT [Almost as a direct counterpoint to his partner's more methodical approach, he hits this with dizzying speed.]
Suplex Slam [He picks the opponent up in position for a vertical suplex, but floats it into a body slam with authority.]
Slingshot Powerbomb [Unlike his partner's which relies on brute strength, Dustinpicks up his opponent and hits him against the top rope for added impact.]
Leaping Legdrop [He springs off the ropes, getting as much air from a vertical base as possible before landing this.]
Kneedrop [He often follows this up immediately with another kneedrop, only this time off the second rope.]
