Biography & Background
A two time Big 12 all league choice at tight end for Oklahoma, Barry Douglas was on the radar of EVERY general manager in the National Football League. Size, strength, outstanding agility and a natural attitude, Douglas seemed to be a sure-fire NFL first round draft pick as a junior at Oklahoma. However, as draft day approached, he was found to have cheated on a test. Already on probation by the NCAA, the school immediately made the result public, stripping Douglas of his scholarship, and suspending him from the university. Douglas completely collapsed upon this incident. The NFL wouldn't touch him and he soon found himself in trouble with the law. He quit school and vanished from sight.
The agent for Douglas pleaded ignorance, indignity and insolence, but in reality Barry liked to have a good time, and liked to tell people about it. His social media presence and post game interviews made him the most hated man in every stadium he played in, and he was forced to disband his Facebook and Twitter after more than a few incriminating pictures. After falling off the NFL rader, Douglas disappeared altogether. Todd Michaelson and the Combat Corner went to the ends of the Earth to find and sign him, but he was nowhere to be found.
It was Percy Childes, indeed, who wooed the impressionable, brash Douglas and persuaded him to train with [***REDACTED***], with the promise of gold, girls and glory. Barry was an easy mark and signed on immediately, and was soon introduced to Isaiah Carpenter and Pedro Perez, who would be his running mates in their mission of destruction and terror.
He LOVED it. He took a new name for himself to completely disassociate himself with his past: Wade Walker.
Advantages
1. Athletic Marvel. Size-wise, Wade Walker isn't outstanding by pro wrestling standards. What is outstanding is his broad athleticism. His power, speed, leaping, stamina, pretty much every physical aspect you could ever want in an athlete of any type. He is not the best in any of these categories, but he is very good at all of them.
2. Durability. Walker can soak damage like no one's business.
3. Teamwork. Walker's training was specialized for this very purpose: he works very well in teams. No matter who his partner or partners may be, he is good at setting up an opponent for a devastating follow-up, or delivering that follow-up himself. He is skilled in wolfpack tactics and has been schooled in all the tricks of tag team wrestling.
Disadvantages
1. Technique. It is safe to say that Wade's very raw technically, and always will be. His moves are simple. He's not good at complex maneuvers and will always have a limited moveset.
2. Experience. He's young, and has not faced top talent yet.
3. Vindictive. If Wade feels that he has been slighted, exacting revenge becomes more important to him than winning. And he gets slighted far too easily.
