TENDENCES
Jackson has been working as a wrestler and fighter for over twenty years. He knows how to work a crowd to his advantage and as a result, has quite a few die-hard fans around the world. He loves to rattle his opponents, deliberately provoking them and trying to put them off their game.

APPEARANCE
His body is decorated in a myriad of tattoos, most of which do precious little to camouflage the scars that cover his back, arms and torso from a hard life in the business. Some of the ink is faded, the meaning to some of the symbols lost over the years. His hair has gone completely silver, a whiter patch still visible on the back of his head from a kick early in his career that fractured his skull.

CAGE GEAR
He fights shirtless, in a pair of black vale tudo shorts with red trim, decorated with his sponsor's logo. His feet, hands and wrists are taped with black flex tape.

ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
He always looks to get the hardest strikes in early, looking to wear down his opponent before soaking up too much damage that he can't dip into his bag of tricks.

ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
The lights dim, heavy mist filling the ramp as strobe lights begin to pulse slowly while the sound of rushing wind comes over the speakers. On the screen, a storm is brewing above a windswept desert wasteland. A dark point appears far off in the distance, growing nearer.

A voice screams, "he's coming! The dark horse is coming," over the sound of pounding hoof beats.

The dark horse charges across the desert, his nostrils flaring, foam dripping from his lips, a look of fierce determination in brown eyes that gleam reddish as the lightning courses across the sky. Suddenly the horse rears, letting out an enraged shriek that's drowned out by mocking laughter and Jackson's voice hurling insults before the music skips, and then the sounds of "Lies" by Evanescence filters through the speakers. The strobes shift to red and continue to pulsate on the entrance-way, revealing the unmistakable, heavily tattooed silhouette of a man.

The screen crackles to life again, showing heavy static that gradually fades to grainy and over-saturated footage of Jackson utterly demolishing various opponents interspersed with him either lifting weights or screaming obscenities into a microphone. Jackson walks out slowly, methodically, his eyes locked on the cage and his music comes to a grinding halt the moment he arrives, cut off with a squeal of feedback and then an eerie silence.

BIOGRAPHY
Jackson has been wrestling professionally since 1997, however he got his start a bit earlier than that, back in 1993 on the local independent circuit in Florida. He has worked for some of the greatest companies of all time and has held more than twenty-six different top-level championships in his storied career. No stranger to the cage, Jackson has worked in Europe and North America doing ultraviolent and vale tudo combat fighting in the past and seems to have returned to that former love now that he has completely retired from professional wrestling.
