Character Info
Name: Zack Johnson
Height: 6 feet 3 inches
Weight: 230 pounds
Hometown: San Francisco, California
Alignment: +3
Entrance Music: "Fuyu Tokyo" by LAREINE (LAREINE - Fuyu Tokyo)
Entrance Description: As "Fuyu Tokyo" by LAREINE begins Joshua Curtis walks out from behind the curtain and stands to the side bowing to the crowd as his charge in Zack Johnson walks out from behind the curtain carrying a bouquet of roses as the two friends walk down the ramp and circle the ring looking for that "lucky fan" to give the roses to before settling on a woman in the crowd and giving her a peck on the cheek. After this Joshua walks up the ring steps as Zack climbs on the ring apron saluting the crowd one time before stepping through the ropes that Joshua is holding for him and takes off his jacket and wristband before standing in the corner awaiting his opponent.
Physical Apperance: Zack is of a muscular build but he's not so powerful that it actually hampers him in ring. Zack has short, brown hair and blue eyes. It actaully used to be long and blond but he went with his natural brunette color here. It should also be noted that despite him wrestling in various promotions he doesn't have any bruises or scars on his body either.
Ring Attire: When Zack comes to the ring he is almost always wearing a t-shirt and his black and gold trunks and boots. He also is usually seen wearing a rainbow colored bracelet along with Joshua.
Out of the ring Zack wears a suit and tie sometimes as does his manager. If he's not wrestling a big show he tends to just wear a t-shirt and blue jeans but he does try to keep it professional a lot of the time.
Gimmick: Well its less of a gimmick than it is a fact but Zack is openly gay. The big difference between him and a lot of the wrestlers that you might have seen in e-fedding is he's not one of those kinds that intentionally uses it to mess with people but its just something that can't truly be ignored either.
Personality: Zack is a laid back guy that is easy to get along with out of and away from the ring. This isn't to say that when he's in the ring he isn't serious...quite the contrary actually because when he gets in the ring he knows its simply "Go time"!
Strengths:
1. Friendly - Zack is probably one of the friendliest people one could meet in and out of the ring. His personality is one that can be beneficial to people but this also can lead to one of his weaknesses as well
2. Endurance - Simply put Zack is good for wrestling long matches be they 30-45 minutes long or even longer. Zack's background of training under an experienced veteran years before has helped him outlast opponents that thought they would tire him out!
3. Analyzer - Let's call it the "Joshua Curtis" effect as when he's getting ready for any match beit big or small he always tries to analyze his opponent(s) and see what they are good or bad at. Doing this helps him stay steps ahead of his opponents at times for sure!
Weaknesses:
1. Too Friendly - As easily as Zack is one of the friendliest people you could meet on the roster that has also opened him up to betrayals in the past. Its actually part of the reason that he has Joshua as his manager because when he was truly solo he got betrayed A LOT when he tried to help other people
2. Inexperience - Believe it or not Zack hasn't been around wrestling that long full-time. Outside of his most recent fed most of the time he was wrestling part-time so he's not as experienced as his manager and that could lead to some faults in the ring when most experienced wrestlers wouldn't make them.
3. Overthinker - Sometimes being a good analyst has its drawbacks doesn't it? See Zack sometimes is prone to thinking about a situation for too long and its cost him either a match or a chance to work with someone that he really wanted to both in and out of the ring. Sometimes taking your time to think about a situation could cost you dearly huh?
Biography:
Zachary Alan Johnson was born in Houston, Texas to a very loving mother and equally caring dad. The mother, whose name was Andrea was a nurse at the local hospital in the area and his father was a teacher at a public school. Its safe to say that he was fairly well to do
in his childhood no?
Zack was always a good kid. He never fought, smoked or drank even when pressured all through High School and a little before he made the decision that
he would eventually make. The students when he was in school never messed with him or harassed him because of what was
public knowledge despite the fact that he never EVER flaunted it nor would he ever allow himself to.
What was it? That he was gay!
Oh don’t misunderstand that statement. Zack DID try dating women during public school and high school but something ended up stopping the relationship and to be clear it wasn’t ever anyone’s “fault” but rather a mutual parting of the ways for some reason or another. Zack was never hurt or upset or anything like that but eventually, and he hates to admit this, he just “gave up” on dating women!
As time went on and Zack finished out his high school life he decided that it would be best for him to pack his things and move north
of the border. Reason: Because he wanted to train to become a pro wrestler.
Zack’s journey over the border took him to Regina, Saskatchewan where he met Chester Clarke and Brad Cummings. A tag team that wrestled over in London called “Hard Knocks University” and they helped the young man from Houston become not just a better wrestler but also a better person in and out of the ring. Oh sure they taught him (not like he needed it) how to be a tough guy in the ring but they also taught him what it was like to be on the road and amongst the people that might not “understand him right away” as they put it. Zack was always appreciative of this and never forgot what they did for him.
When Zack got to London a year or two later he met a lot of people and one of them was the man that is now known as the “Heavenly
Warrior”
Yep…this is when he met Joshua!
Now we all know the story by now of those two but the short version is that Zack fell hard for the man from Japan and after some
coaxing from Tina he tried to pursue Joshua in “His own special way” and as we know Joshua wasn’t receptive to it…at first!
As time went on things went from “Bad” to “Worse” to “Really great” for the young man and now the man that lives in San Francisco
knows one thing for certain: People WILL accept you but its gonna be a long journey to come! Fortunately…he’s not alone on this trip
