Signature Moves

• Stump Puller – The Whittlers favourite and most vicious submission hold. A basic Dragon sleeper hold but with one of the opponents’ arms behind their back in an armbar. This is held in place using Whittlers knee. Leaving his other arm free to show boat. This move can be locked in from many positions and has won The Whittler numerous matches in the now defunct AWW.

• Shaving the bark – basically a diamond cutter. This move can be performed from many places including the top rope, the ring apron, the announce table, a flapjack position or even in The Whittlers kitchen.

• Stuff of Leg-ends – A move taught to him by his late adopted father Jimmy “the Leg-end” McCoy. He’s not dead, he just hasn’t turned up yet. A deadly variation on a Boston crab and Jimmy’s finisher in his wrestling days. It’s a jumping Boston crab off the top rope. Tends not to use this much as it sort of sometimes kills people.

• Whittler driver and friend – A Brainbuster suplex followed by Whittler bridging up and dropping the opponent back down with a neckbreaker.

• Ian’s favourite move – The Whittler only uses this move because it’s Ian’s (that’s his talking knife by the way) favourite. It’s a power bomb onto the ropes which slingshots the opponent over Whittlers shoulders landing them flat on their face.

  Finishing moves

The Mahogany Drop - A front sulplex with a twist, as Whittler hoists his opponent over his head he twists them around into a stone cold stunner position on the way down, driving their face/chin into his shoulder

Personality

• The Whittler was born and raised in the small Whittling community of Flagstaff Arizona. His parents died in a freak zoo accident when he was only four years old, giving rise to his phobia of lemurs. His mentor and fathers best friend, Jimmy “The Leg-end” McCoy (called this not because he was a great man but because he had a wooden leg) adopted him and trained him in both the arts of brawler, hardcore style Wrestling and the ancient mystical art of Whittling. It was the latter of the two in which he really excelled after a trip to the old well to fetch water when he was ten years old. When the bucket was drawn up it contained more than the clear, non-alcoholic liquid known as “water”. It contained the ancient mystical Whittling knife, which grants its holder unbelievable whittling powers…it contained “Ian”.

• Using the gifts Ian had bestowed upon him, The Whittler very quickly became state, national and world champion whittler by the tender age of fourteen. At was at this point he decided to pursue his other talent…fighting. He joined several wrestling associations and fast became a mid-card fan-favourite. He made many enemies during his systematic rise to mediocrity, some of which may come back to haunt him. The Whittler then joined the AWW where he rocketed up the card capturing tag team gold with close friend Suicide, before becoming one of the few wrestlers in AWW to stay in the world title hunt towards the end of the company. Whittler is experienced having fought in many World title matches but so far unsuccessfully. Together with his trainers Brain Blessed and Geoff Capes, and with his Hi tech training area “The Whitt Cave” surely AWWE gold can’t be far away for this firm fan favourite and his knife.
