Ledger is a high-flyer first and foremost. He'll jump off of anything from

more of a Strong Style moveset for himself. I suppose the proper definition
for his work nowadays would be “American Lucharesu.”

STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES
<-------------------->

STRENGTHS:

1. Mentors - Ledger was trained by both "The Black Jesus" Tyrone Walker and
"The Only Star" Erik Dane, so his pedigree is rather easily backed up.

2. Conditioning - Erik has made it a point to be able to breath late in the
game when other competitors are gasping for air. This comes in handy when it
comes time to jump off of a basketball goal.

3. Speed - Say what you want, but the little bastard can move. He's quick,
and he knows it. He can squirm out of any situation and he can get around
the ring pretty quickly.


WEAKNESSES:

1. Inexperience - Where he's been trained by some of the best in the
business, he's never really gotten off to a good start that got him going
strong, and therefore lacks the experience of any big matches or major
feuds.

2. Enemies - Like his mentors, he has an attitude problem and tends to put
off others with his arrogance. He tends to make a lot of enemies.

3. Arrogance - Erik lets himself get into situations where he's winning
matches and starts to celebrate a little too early. This has cost him more
than one match.

CHARACTER HISTORY & GIMMICK
<--------------------------->

Character History:

Erik got into the business as a tag team specialist with a childhood friend,
Tyson Burke. The team was called The Heatseekers and they showed more than
enough promise to garner attention from both the National Wrestling Council
and the World Wrestling Alliance. The two would have been stars by now had
Burke had any passion for the business, but his lack thereof held back the
team and held down Ledger until he could finally go out on his own. Once on
his own he started wrestling a more aggressive style and won the Garden
State Independent Wrestling Deathmatch Title on the GSIW’s first televised
event. He went on to wrestle in a few more independents but has yet to make
a big splash the way he and Burke did as the Heatseekers. Later he would go
under the tutelage of Tyrone Walker and Eric Dane in the new Misfits Dojo in
New Orleans, but hasn’t made an official wrestling appearance in almost a
year.

How He Got Into Wrestling:

Erik broke into the business as a tag team with his childhood best friend,
Tyson Burke. The two crashed the indy scene and started getting major
contract offers pretty early on into their careers. This is thought to have
contributed to the downfall of the team, Burke’s disappearance from the
business, and Ledger’s rededication to singles wrestling.
