HEIGHT: 6'0
WEIGHT: 225 lbs
ALIGNMENT: Face
HOMETOWN: Chicago, Illinois
THEME MUSIC: "Brains" - Mark Tremonti
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: ::The heavy bridge of 'Brains' by Mark Tremonti erupts through the speakers as spotlights race across the crowd. Chuck Matthews steps out onto the stage, looking around at the people in attendance. He smiles, taking in the reaction of the fans. Casually, Chuck begins his walk towards the ring. He moves calmly, but quickly, making no effort to interact with fans until he reaches the apron. At this point, he climbs up, leaning with his back against the ropes, looking out at the crowd.

He rolls his wrists and neck, waiting for the match to begin.::
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Won Championships in NLWF, IWF, Pride Pro, and Inferno. Won some awards here and there, etc etc.
CHARACTER STRENGTHS:
Not Just a Nickname
-Chuck's intelligence is well-documented and world-renowned. In the ring, Chuck uses this intelligence to his advantage, able to recognize moves and invent counters with far greater ease than the average wrestler, even if Chuck has never seen the move before. In multiple-competitor matches, Chuck excels where other wrestlers falter, and has proven capable of tracking several opponents at once, making it notoriously difficult to take him by surprise. Outside the ring, his complex "master plans" have become his signature style, typically involving several smaller, intertwining schemes which he carries out simultaneously. His mastery of psychology and his uncanny ability to think several steps ahead have made him both a dangerous foe and an indispensable ally.
One Kick, Ten Thousand Times
-Chuck's been in the business for several years, and his moveset has changed very little since his debut. His signature move, Hollywood Impact, isn't flashy by any stretch of the imagination, but he's learned in time how to use it properly, to inflict maximum damage. Though not an elaborate move, after using it for so long, he's completely mastered the art of the simple spear, able to hit it anywhere, at any time, and from almost any position.
Nothing Too Fancy
-It's been noted by fans and critics alike that Chuck has a very simple moveset. Though he adds his own flair to his moves, and can certainly pull off most other more advanced moves should he feel compelled to do so, his go-to attacks are remarkably simple. The advantage is that without the complexity, Chuck is able to get down to "bare-bones" wrestling, using his own distinct advantages, rather than flashy and complicated moves, to win the match.
CHARACTER WEAKNESSES:
Where Angels Fear to Tread
-Chuck rarely, if ever, goes to the top rope, and in ladder matches, he hesitates to climb the ladder until he's absolutely certain he'll win. As a double-whammy weakness, Chuck also struggles against aerial attackers, as their speed and unpredictability proves a tough match to Chuck's methodical defensive style.
It’s All In Your Head
-Where most others maintain a healthy balance between their thoughts and their feelings, Chuck exists almost exclusively in his head, and appears totally detached from his own emotions. He has a tendency to come off as cold, uncaring, and many times, apathetic to the plight of others. This tends to cause more problems than it solves, as it results in many of his personal and professional relationships falling apart, and it gives Chuck a very polarizing personality.
Why Are You Here?
-Chuck is difficult to read: It's unknown why a man as intelligent as Chuck isn't pursuing more rewarding endeavors, and oftentimes it seems that Chuck's head simply isn't with the sport. Chuck has made a vocal point that he dislikes wrestling as a whole, leaving many to wonder how long it will be before he finally hangs up his boots for good.
WEAPON OF CHOICE: Chuck is known to carry a steel chair to the ring. While it CAN be used as a weapon, usually Chuck sets it in the center of the ring, where he’ll perch himself on the back to deliver a long monologue to the crowd.
BIOGRAPHY: For a man who has been in the business as long as Chuck Matthews has, remarkably little is known about his life outside the ring. He takes great care in keeping his personal life private, although it's known to many that he owns a spacious property and a large home in the northern suburbs of Chicago where he lives alone: His last marriage was short-lived following the untimely death of his newborn son. While once one of the more outspoken celebrities in his line of work, Chuck has gotten more quiet and reclusive with age and experience: He is rarely seen in the public sphere, he typically arrives late to wrestling events, changes in time for his match, and promptly leaves once it's over. He isn't unprofessional, though: When called on for an interview or to meet with fans, Chuck will gladly fulfill his duties, and is known to be very easy to approach when he's caught out in the open.
Outside the ring, Chuck is the founder and operator of Matthews Enterprises, a massive media empire with child companies delving into film, television, radio, and print. The company has been known to be the exclusive television and pay-per-view provider for several wrestling companies over the years, including NLWF, IWF, and Pride, and a budget had been approved for a wrestling project all its own, though this never saw completion. The company owns several venues around the country devoted to various sports and entertainment mediums. In NLWF and EXODUS, the company also introduced the wrestling world to Enterprise Security, heavily equipped personnel tasked with safeguarding present and future assets of the company by any means necessary. This elite task force both incited fear in fans and foes alike, and raised heavy suspicion that Chuck's company had its feet in far darker waters below the surface.
Personality-wise, Chuck tends to change very little whether on-camera or off, and tends to behave largely the same whether being cheered on TV or booed. Chuck's aim is, more often than not, to serve Chuck, and he's not terribly bothered by what fans think of it: the way he sees it, they'll react the way they'll react, and to change his own behavior to influence that is a waste of his time. Even here, he's made exceptions to his own rules: He has been known to pander to crowds or actively villify himself in situations where fan reaction in one way or another is critical to the success of his plans. Generally speaking, Chuck tends to be witty and sarcastic, deeply introspective, and speaks to his audiences with a calm, collected demeanor, breaking down his complex and, oftentimes, unorthodox thoughts and ideas and presenting them in words everybody understands.
WRESTLING STYLE: Grounded & Defensive. Chuck treats matches like games of chess: The early going is spent probing his opponents for weaknesses, gauging how they're going to play it, and reacting accordingly. He spends the match biding his time, picking his moments and waiting for the opening to hit his Hollywood Impact and end the bout.
