GIMMICK:
"The Golden Age Gladiator'' ALEXANDER ARCHER who otherwise is known by his more notorious nickname "The Scarred Gladiator", believes strongly in concepts such as honor and tradition, and often follows a personal code, he believes that he has higher moral values, but typically acts altruistically, without regard for or against lawful precepts such as rules or tradition when there is a need to.. Alexander acts on his own moral compass and will often take matters into his own hands if no one else will step up to do the job..

As mentioned before he’s a man who believes strongly in concepts such as Respect, honor, tradition and loyalty, because of this he believes that he has higher moral values, a personal code but typically acts altruistically, without regard for or against lawful precepts such as rules or tradition when there is a need to.. Alexander justifies his actions as "taking out the trash." and will act on his own moral compass and will often take matters into his own hands if no one else will step up to do the job. He’s an unscrupulous, self-serving individual who is pure pragmatism without honor and without variation. Alexander is one who will cheat if he is able to get away with it as he is completely out for himself and himself only plain and simple.. ((Think "Your Olympic Hero" era Kurt Angle..))


CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY:
ALEXANDER ARCHER as he’s known professionally as is a cyborg assassin, sent back in time from a post-apocalyptic future. He is nearly indestructible and possesses superior technology, fighting skills and artificial intelligence making him the ultimate killing machine.. Wait, wait, wait that’s not even close to Alexander’s backstory though it does make for an interesting opener huh? Alexander was born Alexander Vincent Ackehurst III to a military family, making him a military brat, having learned the ways of the military lifestyle at an early age thanks to his father General Alexander V. Ackehurst II, so you can imagine the easy life was out of the question when it came to Alexander seeing how his family was never in one place or another for very long.

Like his father Alexander followed in his fathers footsteps joining the United States Marine Corp at the age of 18, Alexander would serve in the United States Marine Corps from 2013 until 2018 where he served 6 long tours overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait. During that time, Alexander was awarded a Medal of Honor presented by president Barack Obama for acts of valor that went above and beyond the call of duty. Aside from being awarded a Medal of Honor, Alexander was also awarded with a Bronze Star and a Distinguished Service Medal.

Alexander would also train as a professional wrestler on his off time away from his stationed military base. Alexander would come to make a name for himself on the independent wrestling scene under that of the stage name "ALEXANDER ARCHER", wrestling on his off time away from the military honing his craft. Alexander would eventually make the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6) before departing from the military lifestyle in favor of starting a family with his longtime girlfriend Gabrielle De Rochefort when she’d come to get pregnant, the two would eventually come to welcome their first child, a baby girl they’d come to name Madison.

In winter of 2019 Alexander would continue his wrestling training honing his craft and perfecting it as he would come to travel from various independent wrestling promotions in North America, in territories ranging from Mexico to Canada, with several stops in between.. where he earned a reputation as a fierce, but crafty competitor. It wouldn’t be until October 20th, 2020 when Alexander would come to get in touch with officials at the Entity, and begin working for the company on a provisional deal, though one must wonder what will come of the man who calls himself “The Golden Age Gladiator”...


ENTRANCE:
Inside the arena the fans were sitting on the edge of their seats waiting in anticipation for the next bit of action to take place, as the lights throughout the entire Entity arena dim simultaneously out throughout the entire arena as it plunges into darkness with that being said "Battle Born" - By Five Finger Death Punch begins to play over the PA sound system within minutes; it doesn't take long at all for those fans to begin to change their tune. They went from being excited for action to completely and utterly loathing the show. All because of who was about to make their way to the ring.

Only a few seconds had passed since the song began to play, before a single white strobe light flickers on and can be seen throughout the arena as if on cue, out of nowhere "The Golden Age Gladiator" ALEXANDER ARCHER appears and can be seen swinging around to face the fans as a devilish Cheshire cat like grin can be seen on Alexander's face.

ALEXANDER can be seen wearing a sleeveless vinyl jacket usually Ivory (white) in color and can be seen reading “The Golden Age Gladiator" across the back of it in old English Royal Blue lettering and can be seen outlined in Silver color matching the motif of the rest of his ring attire as he paces the entrance isle, left to right as he does the fans of the Entity can be heard giving him a hero’s welcome as the cheers and various chants of "Thank you Archer", and "We want Archer" can be heard before Alexander finally retakes center stage.

Marlena Bennett: "Ladies and gentlemen being he hails from Seattle, Washington and weighs in tonight at an astounding Two-hundred and Thirty-One chiseled pounds of pure muscle and stands approximately Six foot Three inches in an astounding height.. he is.. "The Golden Age Gladiator" He is.. the one, the only.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALEXANDER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARCHER!!!!!!!!!!!"

ARCHER slowly walks down the entrance aisle, as he does he stands in the center of the aisle, white piercing light comes shining down upon him and illuminating his figure which can be seen being illuminating under the light as he stands in the entrance aisle looking out into the darkness that surrounds them for a few seconds. As Alexander does he soaks in both the cheers and, and chants of approval. His eyes burn with intensity, and hatred towards the closer he gets to the ring, his body pounding with adrenaline and blood lust on his mind as he makes his way down to the ring.

Once at ringside he walks around to the steel steps and slowly walks on up them, before entering the ring finally. Once inside the ring he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and throws up one his arms ((Viva Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson)) as he continues to soak in the jeers, and cheers and chants of approval from the fans at ringside and those that can be heard throughout the arena being shown toward him as he waits for his opponent to come on out from behind the black curtain to do battle.
