Why are you qualified to unite the TRIAD? (this will go on your profile that will be posted on our website) -

Bravery - Despite not being a hulking monster, Stephen Stratford has a proven track record of overcoming adversity and the odds. Since his return to the ring in 2020, he has been responsible for taking on entire factions single-handedly, and in one case infiltrated one to take down two simultaneously. He fears not a person nor entity, because he has built a mental fortress that as yet is impenetrable.

Wit - Stephen Stratford is a puppet master, with one of his more menacing aliases being "The Guiding Hand". He has shown to operate on an intellectually superior level and is typically several steps ahead of his adversaries, often tinkering with many seemingly unrelated pieces until all of a sudden they coalesce into a lose-lose situation for whoever is the target of his ire in that moment.

Strength - His strength is his leverage. Brazilian jiu-jitsu teaches us that nerdy kids from the tech industry can manhandle muscle bound jocks with relative ease because they learn the principles of leverage. Why wrap your arms around a giant boulder and ruin your back trying to lift it, when you can rest a plank of wood on a small rock and lift it with one finger? Stratford is adept at stacking the deck in his favor. Admittedly, this is not the spirit of the strength test. But he will always find a way.





Wrestling Style/Resemblance - Think late-career HBK. Technical, can do a high spot if he needs to, but very slow and methodical and technical.

Trademark Maneuver(s) - "Halo" - Cross Rhodes, "Silencer" - Springboard Dropkick, "Strategizer" - V Trigger

Set up to Finisher - Strategizer, but he could use it like a Stone Cold Stunner if in desperation

Finisher - "Zero Sum" - Snap Mare Driver

Alignment - Evil. But he's manipulative. He can appeal to sympathy, he can portray himself as a babyface. It depends on the narrative he's pursuing.
