Wrestling Information


Style: Noah is surprisingly technical, having an excellent grasp of fundamentals and mat work. He does have a fan base to impress however, so he has a few flashy tricks up his sleeve- Whether it's jaw-dropping feats of agility to wow the casual watchers, or famous moves and intricate holds for the more hardcore wrestling fans to sink their teeth into!


Preferred Matches: Noah enjoys singles matches, especially submission-focused affairs. While not particularly a fan of partaking in "gimmick" matches, he will dabble if there's enough demand for it from his fan base.


Endurance: ✭✭✭✭✭ - Noah has trekked through some of the harshest environments imaginable- His body is well-conditioned to pushing the limit!
Strength: ✭✰✰✰✰ - Noah's light frame makes feats of sheer strength a steeply uphill battle. He can lift someone his size, but it takes quite a bit out of him- Anyone bigger is nigh impossible.
Speed: ✭✭✭✰✰ - Noah's speed is actually quite impressive thanks to his lithe figure and honed agility! However, he feels the importance of stamina far outweighs a speed advantage, so he prefers to keep things slow unless absolutely necessary.
Defense: ✭✭✭✰✰ - Noah's in trouble if he takes a heavy blow- However his adept maneuverability and exceptional technical prowess make him a hard target to hit!
Technique: ✭✭✭✭✰ - While not perfect when it comes to pure technical grappling, Noah is shockingly -much- more fluent in wrestling than one would expect of an influencer. With a combination of a true love for wrestling and quick ability to learn, he could prove to become a master of the ring far sooner than one would expect!

Strikes: ✭✭✭✰✰ - Noah doesn't focus on strikes very often, preferring to stick to grappling. However if someone truly catches his ire, he can throw quite a wicked chop or kick!
Submissions: ✭✭✭✭✭ - Noah has thoroughly researched everything he could of the true masters of technical wrestling, and has dedicated himself to the art of submissions!
Powerhouse: ✭✰✰✰✰ - Noah may be well in shape thanks to his years of travel, but let's face it- He's a twink. There's no way he can lift anybody larger than him with ease.
Aerials: ✭✭✭✰✰ - While not actually particularly fond of hurling himself through the air, it's undeniable that a lot of his fans love the daredevilry of acrobatics. Not wishing to disappoint them, Noah will occasionally opt to hit a flashy dive to make the fans happy!
Counters: ✭✭✭✭✰ - Focusing on technical wrestling, Noah is quite adept at knowing how to get himself out of a sticky situation, proving to be very slippery for anyone without a solid strategy!



Finishing moves:
Image
[Stunt Rider Stretch] - A showy and effective hold that could make even the most hardened of veterans squirm, Noah hooks his opponents' arms behind their back and flips them upside down, kneeling down to prop their shoulders on his thigh. With their arms still trapped behind them, Noah is free to reach up and stretch their legs anyway he sees fit, straining and stretching them at awkward angles until they shout out their surrender!


-[Virtual Insanity] - When all else fails, Noah can pull out this devastating little number: With his opponent stunned, he'll twist their arm behind them in a tight hammerlock, then twirl back in front to capture their neck in a facelock. Then, mustering every once of strength he has left, he'll lift his opponent straight into the air and spike them headfirst to the mat with an Impaler DDT that they have no way to shield themselves from! Due to the dangerous nature of this move, he tries to save it as only the most desperate of measures- Or if someone has truly drawn his ire.



Characteristics


Personality: Noah's popularity is in no small part thanks to his pleasant nature- Aloof and gentlemanly, he holds a unique air of refinement while maintaining a down-to-earth humbleness. He often shares his musings with his viewers, ranging from simple and mundane to philosophically grandiose. All this with his soft-spoken demeanor lends Noah a sort of mysterious charisma, like the presenter of a nostalgic documentary program.


Past/History: Every year of Noah's life after graduating high school has not at all been what he expected. It started out fairly normally- Valedictorian of his graduating class, Noah seemed primed to be headed straight for a good university. But like a lot of people his age, he instead opted to travel the world in a spiritual journey, wishing to "find himself" along the way. Like a lot of young adults who decide to go down this pass, he decided to start a travel vlog, meant to document his journey and share all the fascinating things he finds along the way. Unlike a lot of young adults, however, Noah treated this with true sincerity, performing exhaustive research for each video. It was merely something he did for himself- Just something he enjoyed doing.

Then he got big.

Within just a year of starting his vlog, the viral gods smiled downed upon him and gave Noah upwards of 800K subscribers- And the number only continued to climb in the years since, to where today he sits with 9.5 million. And that's just on Youtube alone. Fans were drawn by how high-production his videos felt thanks to the effort behind them, and of course his calm, soothing demeanor played a very strong role as well. Stunned by his borderline meteoric rise, Noah shifted everything into making videos as a career. He found himself traveling all over the world, exploring every inch he could to show off in his vlogs and video essays. It was like a dream come true.

It was on a more casual trip to Japan where he decided to attend a local LAW show on a whim. He wasn't very familiar with professional wrestling up to that point... But what he saw had him absolutely enthralled. Like the gladiatorial combat of ancient Rome, mixed with the larger than life personalities and attitudes of the modern age. A true melting pot of cultures, where anybody and everybody can be themselves. He found himself transfixed by the grand display- And a sudden urge to partake in the action. So, in a left turn that no one saw coming, Noah began to research all he could of pro wrestling, and enlisted in LAW's Young Lion program at the age of 22. Despite some... Pushback from some of the fellow rookies, Noah proved himself to be shockingly adept, taking to the art of grappling like a fish to water, and in a surprisingly brief time he found himself graduating the program, ready to begin a brand new chapter of his life in LAW!



Interview
Q: Why LAW?
A: LAW is what introduced me to the beautiful art of wrestling. It only feels right that I make my name in the place where I first felt that spark, no?

Q: What's your goal?
A: Nothing set in stone as of yet! I simply wish to hone my craft, test my mettle against the very best- And if I can prove that I belong, the sky's the limit from there.

Q: Who do you want to face?
A: *chuckle* There's far too many to list! At the forefront though, I'm particularly interested in facing fellow technicians- Alois Trancy, Jasper Noir... perhaps even Toshimi Minami herself?

Q: Favourite movie?
A: Hm, I typically prefer documentaries, if I'm honest... I suppose if I had to pick, 12 Angry Men comes to mind. A gripping, subtle commentary on the prejudices present in the American judicial system.

Q: Favourite song?
A: I truly cannot pick a singular song or a singular artist, but as of late I've been delving into the strange and eclectic work of Aphex Twin. He truly deserves his reputation as one of the most fascinating composers alive.

Q: What motivates you every day?
A: Simple- The beauty of life itself. I know it's cliche, but I truly believe it cannot be overstated how magnifique the world is, and the cultures that the people cultivate within it.

Q: Do you prefer dogs or cats?
A: Both provide lovely company. Many assume I'm an outright cat person due to my calm nature, but that doesn't mean I don't love the boundless, gregarious energy of dogs!

Q: Favourite wrestling move?
A: I find something truly fascinating about the abdominal stretch. Such a simplistic move, yet if applied just right you can force your opponent to tap within seconds- Possible without either of you having to even leave your feet! It's something I wouldn't mind learning how to perfect during my career...

Q: Any idols?
A: Hm, I wouldn't say idols per se, but I believe you can learn a lot from the experiences of anyone. I suppose in that sense, everybody is my idol. *chuckle*
