Match Ending Moves

Signature Move
Extra Inning (Torture Rack): Julie hoists her opponent onto her shoulders in a traditional Argentine Backbreaker rack position. Instead of just standing still, she begins a series of squats. With every descent, she pulls down on the opponent's head and legs, hyper-extending their spine across her shoulders. Once her opponent is weakened, she dumps them towards the mat.


Finishing Moves
Grand Elbow (Discus Elbow Smash): Julie backs her opponent into the ropes and whips them across the ring. As they rebound, she performs a full 360-degree spin, and she connects with a stiff elbow directly to the opponent's temple or jaw.


Ground Ball (Spinebuster): Julie catches a charging opponent by the waist, using her lower-body strength to stop their momentum. She then lifts them high into the air before driving them down into the canvas.


Backstory
Julie grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood in Chicago's South Side, playing baseball since she was around seven years old as a way to entertain herself while her parents were out at work. Since her parents worked late shifts, she would normally be met with an empty home whenever she returned from school or the playground. The isolation she faced would cause her to have anger issues as she grew. The lack of communication with others would make her fall behind with her peers when it came to socializing, leading to her bottling up negative emotions within her, since she rarely got the chance to talk about what was troubling her with her parents. As she continued to play baseball, it slowly became a form for her to release stress healthily, along with learning how to communicate with others by being a part of a team. Even so, she continued to have trouble when it came to expressing herself, with occasional outbursts and arguments with others. She slowly became more passionate about the game as she continued playing, having joined a small youth league before being invited by a prestigious team in her area to showcase her skills at sixteen. By twenty-three, she had become a professional player after being scouted, soon becoming the star slugger for an all-female team based in Chicago. They called her "The Gatling Gun" due to the number of hits she got per game.
However, with Julie's temperament problem, she would continue to get into trouble by arguing with officials or engaging in minor brawls while out on the field.
The breaking point came during a high-stakes playoff game. After a pitcher intentionally walked her for the third time, Julie didn’t take her base. She marched to the mound and delivered a powerful punch to the pitcher, causing an all-out brawl that made national headlines.
The league issued a lifetime ban the next morning. Julie Gatling was now a generational talent with nowhere to go—until she met a man in a slightly wrinkled suit. The man was named Azrael Richards, a reluctant and corporate-like rookie wrestling manager who had been searching for new talent to sign under his name to participate in LAW. They both met a week after her ban from the league, with Azrael having to track her whereabouts the hard way by asking around the area, till he got tired of asking people, before reluctantly paying off a private investigator to find her for him. Azrael would find her at a bar she normally frequents, before he nervously struck up a conversation with her, with Julie casually ignoring him since she was still bitter about her incident. But as Azrael continued to talk, she slowly began to gain interest as he mentioned that her previous behavior wouldn't be a problem, but would be encouraged by fans and staff. With her being out of a job, she would agree to join Azrael, since she knew that her income would slowly decline if she didn't find a new career path. She would become the 5th member of Azrael's group. She would be trained by one of Azrael's friends, Elias Cooper, who owned a fitness center named "Knockout Training Center" where all of Azrael's talent would train in the basics of wrestling before competing in a real match. She quickly completed her training at Knockout, giving her previous experiences with combat, so she began helping out her fellow wrestlers with their own training at Azrael's request. This experience would gradually make her loosen up with her new co-workers, eventually befriending those in her training group.


Personality:
In-ring: Julie starts a match with a clear mindset, along with analyzing her opponent's movements and tactics, looking for any openings she can find to finish the match off with one of her finishers when least expected. She's not afraid of taking a powerful attack, often engaging in a "Chain" till herself or her opponent can no longer continue trading blows.

Spoiler

She won't engage in beatdowns against those who haven't wronged her, keeping it casual, but without holding back punches. She starts to feel anger/irritation whenever an opponent uses dirty tricks like insults, low-blows, distractions, or flees from the ring. Her fighting style will begin to get more aggressive, by using stronger punches and utilizing agonizing submissions for a tap-out. Officials will intervene for a break once it begins to go overboard.

Outside the ring: Julie continues to have fans from her baseball career, often attending her matches wearing her old jersey. She enjoys that she's still remembered, often signing autographs when she can. She still has a small prejudice agenist the fans of the team she faced on that fateful game, either giving them a cold stare or ignoring them outright.

Allies:
Azrael Richards: He acts as her manager, dealing with booking and promotional materials while she focuses on competing and training. Julie would often talk to him about her troubles, sometimes even inviting him to accompany her to baseball games in the area where she's competing.
