How did you hear about us? I’ve been here before.
Application:
Wrestler’s Name: Claude Robichaux
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 258lbs
Alignment: Face
Hometown: Nottingham, England
Pic Base: Colm Meaney
Theme Music: ‘Rule Britannia’ – Amyl Nitrate
Attire: Lavish robe with embroidered golden stitchwork and gems, tassles on the shoulders and a white fur trim around the outer edges. Robe available in several colours. Worn in entrance only. Black short pants with a high waist band, black knee pads, black boots.
Entrance Description: ‘Rule Britannia’ by Amyl Nitrate begins to play throughout the arena as Claude Robichaux steps out from behind the curtain, dressed in a garishly decorated robe. He walks straight down the aisle, not shaking any hands or acknowledging the fans with more than a nod or a glance, before arriving at the ring. Robichaux makes his way around to the announcer’s table and removes his robe, handing it to the timekeeper before climbing up the ring steps and entering through the middle ropes.
Character Overview: John Coupland, born October 6th 1963 is an English professional wrestler currently contracted to Revival Wrestling under the ring name Claude Robichaux, a name he took from a character in his favourite novel. Having started his career in the late 80s wrestling in Britain, Robichaux made his way across to America in the early 90s and achieved moderate success in the mid Atlantic and midwest regions of the United States, winning four tag team titles with his former partner, Neil Hanson. After his partner’s retirement in the late 90s, Robichaux resumed his singles career, working as a lower midcard talent and trainer for a national promotion. This continued until the mid 2000s when he was found to be given illegal steroids not in compliance with the company’s wellness program. Now in the twilight of his wrestling career, Robichaux is trying his luck one last time to try and regain some of his pride and dignity.

Trademark Move(s):
Arm trap neckbreaker
Description(s):
This move sees an attacking wrestler take hold of an arm of an opponent and then move to a back to back position, so that the opponent's arm hooks across and round the opponent's own head. At this point, the attacking wrestler falls backwards to the ground, forcing the opponent's own arm to drag them to the mat.
Finishing Move(s):
Crossface
Description(s):
The wrestler starts by catching the opponent's right/left arm in a leg scissor, often either by dragging the arm down, before wrapping his hands around the opponent's face, pulling the opponent's head backwards applying pressure to the neck and shoulder.
