Stocky build, muscular but not really defined. Blue-Green eyes, pale white skin, and dirty blonde hair cropped very short, almost to the point of being shaved bald, with
stubble on his face. His hands and face show a lifetime of hard times.
Heavily taped hands, a black hooded zip-up sweatshirt that he takes off after entering the ring, black tights with a red barbed wire design circling the waist, and black boots that have a red brass knuckles design with "CARVER" forming the handle.
Biography & Background
Blackout [3/4 Facelock Cutter]Mind Eraser [Roaring Elbow to the back of the head/neck, set up with a stiff forearm to the head that sends the opponent careening/spinning so that his back faces Carver.]
Strengths
1. Arsenal: A Combination of powerful brawling skills and a wide
array of high impact moves can subdue an opponent quickly.
2. Stamina: Much like Greg Valentine, the longer a match goes, the
better he does.
3. Adrenaline Rush: Gets an adrenaline rush whenever he's busted open,
rocking his opponent with a series of stiff jabs and kicks.
Weaknesses
1. Temper: Easily angered, often gets himself disqualified.
2. Thick Headed: Will often try to fight or power out of situations
where he is being double or triple teamed, rather than attempt to escape the
situation.
3. Likes to get warmed up, if facing a match with a short time limit,
will have problems getting "warmed up."

Entrance & Presentation
[A mid-tempo bassline is heard over the PA, signaling the beginning of "Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight" by Dropkick Murphys. A siren is heard as the fans get to their feet in anticipation of the South Boston Brawler.]
#GONNA BE A BLACKOUT#
[Just as the vocal hits, the curtains at the top of the entranceway fly open as Hannibal Carver makes his presence known. He pulls the hood of his black hooded sweatshirt off his head, raising his arms out wide and letting out a primal scream to a huge ovation.]
#CUZ MY TOWN IS BIG AND MY TOWN IS BRIGHT#
#MY TOWN CAN WORK AND MY TOWN CAN FIGHT#
[Carver tears the sweatshirt off, flinging it to the ground as he charges the ring. He circles the ring once, nodding his head and scowling before climbing up onto the ring apron. He climbs to the second rope, pumping his fists and shouting along with the next lyric.]

Character & Presentation
Face
In-Ring Repertoire
MDK Finisher
Skullpump [Double Underhook Piledriver. Except that it's only busted out when Carver is well beyond the point of rationality and fully into insane rage. So he won't hit it perfectly. Sometimes it'll be more of a slam, sometimes a powerbomb, sometimes he'll just drop the guy like last week's garbage with a look of disgust on his face.]
Signature Moves
Falling Headbutt [ala Don Muraco or Harley Race]
Boot Party [Garvin Stomp]
Second Rope Fistdrop
Dorchester Drop [Sitout Full Nelson Atomic Drop aka Bubba Bomb]
Boston Beatdown [Carver pummels his opponent in the corner with a hellacious series of chops to the chest and clubbing forearms to the head and neck. Once his opponent is in a seatd position, he stomps him flat. He finishes the sequence off by climbing top the second rope to come down hard with a pair of knees to the chest.]
