History: Some wrestlers start their careers young. Some continue them long into their twilight years. The man who goes only by Dr. Thunder, with no word on if he's an actual doctor or if that really is his real name, is a different story. Despite having an uneventful life up to that point, a week before his 70th birthday, Dr. Thunder found himself fueled by the spirit of the American way to achieve his dream of becoming a pro wrestler, and joined wrestling school.
Unfortunately, he was faced with the challenges of trying to be a pro wrestler at the age of 70. As such, he often lost his spars, getting beaten down and counted out easily, and struggling to pull off a simple pin. Despite failing miserably in practice matches often attended by only a single person, he somehow got the attention of the promoters behind United Kingdom Wrestling, and hopped on the plane to England to begin a new career. He enjoyed similar success there, but at least he got to fail miserably in front of an actual crowd. That being said, it wasn't long before he was dropped from the roster. But he was quick to strive towards new and greater opportunities, and this led him to signing with LAW's growing men's division. Which he'll probably fail just at hard with.
Personality: Despite his utter lack of luck in the ring, Dr. Thunder is fueled by his determination to keep fighting harder. A firm believer in the American spirit, Dr. Thunder refuses to surrender even when all odds are against him, always doing his best to wrestle it out until the bitter end, and training hard at all costs to try and hone his skills, even if he overdoes it. He's thrilled by his rare victories and devastated by his inevitable losses, but his spirit keeps him alive in the end. He's also a deeply religious man, even if his growing senility has made him a little confused about how it works, and one might see him offering prayers to God and Satan alike in the same night. Still, he thanks whatever higher powers there are for keeping him going this long, and he isn't shy about it.

Fighting Style: Dr. Thunder isn't really a very skilled wrestler in any regard, and he shows his age and lack of experience in the ring. His moveset is limited, consisting mostly of open-handed slaps to the face - and even then, he's lucky to get even that in. Due to his habit of staying up all night before his matches training, Dr. Thunder usually tires himself out and comes to the arena winded, where even a few blows can knock him down for an easy pin. Even then, he tends to injure himself while showboating to the crowd during his own entrance. He's no stranger to hardcore matches, and for whatever reason he carries a syringe of drugs with him to the ring during his entrance. If he's allowed, he may use this to try and gain an advantage over his opponent, but he's also been known to forget about the rules and attack people with it even if it's not sanctioned, resulting in an early disqualification. He's also competed in tag matches, which mostly find him staying back behind the ropes and hoping his partners cover for him.
