Entrance Music: "Heroes From Our Past" by Dropkick Murphys
Entrance Description:
Physical Appearance: A little stocky, but with muscle underneath. Pat Gordon, Jr. has a scar under his hairline above his right eye from where Jeffrey Roberts bit him during the 2012 UltraTitle, and another scar over his left eye from an attack by Grinder in 4CW. They're not really matching scars, but they're on either side of his face. Gordon wears black boots, knee pads, and elbow pads. His fists are wrapped in white sports tape. He has green tights-shorts with a white shamrock on them, and wears an Arby's t-shirt to the ring. Not an official employee shirt, but one a customer might buy who REALLY likes Arby's... He's got a tough look about him. Not completely ugly, but not really a pretty boy, either.
Ring Attire: Covered above.
Gimmick: Son of a pro-wrestler, Boston tough guy, and official wrestler of Arby's.
Personality: Pretty upstanding guy who sees things as definitively right or wrong a lot of the time. Doesn't back down from a challenge or a fight and doesn't like dastardly tactics such as ambushes. He can get hardcore, though!
List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:
1. Brawling - He's been in a lot of fights in his life, ever since he was a kid. He knows how to handle himself and loves a good free-for-all. He also boxed in college.
2. Mat wrestling - His dad taught him how to mat wrestle starting at an early age. He's good with holds, counter holds, take downs, all that. He also wrestled in college.
3. Emotion - You don't want to get PGJR's dander up! He's dangerous when he's angry!
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Pace - He's not as fast as a lot of the smaller, high flying types. Also, he's not very good at the whole high flying thing.
2. Emotion - While he's dangerous when he's mad, this can also cause him to make costly mistakes.
3. Really big opponents - His inclination toward brawling can get him in trouble if his opponents are too big or too strong.
Biography: Pat Gordon, Jr. was trained at a young age by his father and uncle, both of whom had been wrestlers. A member of the first generation of his family to be born in the United States (the previous generation being Irish immigrants), Junior grew up in Boston. Whether it was because they thought wrestling was fake or wanted to see if he was as tough as his dad, the other kids were always testing him, challenging him to fights.
Pat wanted more than anything to become a professional wrestler, like his father and uncle before him, but his dad's plans included Junior going to college. He boxed and wrestled to help pay the cost of school, and in 2010 he struck a deal with his father, who let arranged for him to wrestle his two first matches in early 2010 before the Boston Bruiser graduated with a degree in statistical analysis. In 2012, Pat Gordon, Jr. returned to the world of professional wrestling, making a big splash in the enormous UltraTitle tournament by surviving three rounds in what was dubbed "the group of death" before being eliminated by High Flyer. Placements in "groups of death" have followed him through his career. The other most notable "group of death" he fought in was group 4 of the final Survive and Conquer event ever held by APW earlier this year.
Pat Gordon has made two previous appearances in EXODUS Pro. The first as a guest of Jon Collins, who was teasing Dom Harter with a mystery opponent (Pat and Dom had been feuding in FGA at the time). His second EXODUS appearance came in the form of a fourway tag team ladder match for the Tag Team Titles as the replacement for Jessica Harmony, who had turned against Tiami Tyler to join LEGION.

Entrance Music: "Heroes From Our Past" by Dropkick Murphys
Entrance Description:
The Celtic-punk sound of "Heroes From Our Past" by Dropkick Murphys brings the fans to their feet. Pat Gordon, Jr. steps out from the back, handing out Arby's coupons as he makes his way to the ring. He does one lap around the ring, giving away the last of his coupons. He scales the steps and climbs into the ring.
Physical Appearance: A little stocky, but with muscle underneath. Pat Gordon, Jr. has a scar under his hairline above his right eye from where Jeffrey Roberts bit him during the 2012 UltraTitle, and another scar over his left eye from an attack by Grinder in 4CW.
