Charismatic Make-up
Distinguishing Features: Psychically fit to the highest standards. Not the best looking guy, but definitely over average. He has a mysterious sexual attraction.
In Ring Attire: Laz isn't to flashy, and doesn't like to get to complicated with his ring attire. He's out there to wrestle, and beat the crap out of his opponent, not whoo the fans with his attire. Laz simply comes to the ring wearing as little as possible, so there's no restrictions whatsoever. His shirt is non-existant, showing of his wonderfully toned upper body. He wears a simple pair of blue faded jeans, that ride low enough to see his love handles. On his feet, are a pair of black wrestling boots. No tape, wristbands, or anything.
Arena Attire: The same as his in-ring attire, Laz doesn't feel that flashy expensive clothes are needed. This doesn't mean he doesn't have money, because that isn't the case at all, but he simply doesn't have the desire to splurge on clothes that are just going to get trashed in the wrestling world anyway. He wears the same thing as he wears in the ring, except her normally wears either some sort of band t-shirt, or a button down t-shirt, depending on the occasion.
Crowd Affiliation: Heel
Primary Psychology: He's arrogant to the max, and is one of the few people that can actually back it up. His first reaction is to get into his opponents head, and play mind games. If his opponent is not mentally in the match, then there's no way he'll have a shot.
Secondary Psychology: Aggressive. He knows what he wants, and he knows he's going to get it. After the mind games, he goes for the kill, beating the hell out of his opponent.
Style: Laz is simply an all-arounder that can execute each move with the same amount of excellance.
Coin Phrase(s): He doesn't have any specific quotes
General Attitude: He normally either works alone or in cohoots with a small amount of people. He's learned that being a man of power, there will always be people that will try to overthrow you. He's cocky, and plays the field like a mad man. He doesn't like to showboat and show off to the world about how badass he is, he just simply does it, and the world excepts that he is.
Favorite Match(s): Anything that isn't simple and boring. He enjoys anything that is interesting and doesn't easily bore him.
Least Favorite Match(s): He hates simple one-on-one matches with no special stipulation.
Taunt: He doesn't have any specific taunts, because his attitude and just his attitude is more of a taunt than anything else. Whenever he does use some sort of taunt though, he just goes for the easily fist across the throat deal ala Chris Beniot or old Kane.

Misc Info: Late in 2004 Laz's career winded down and seemingly ended after a lose to Ryan Ross on the last showing of SEE.
Weapon of Choice: Laz considers his fists to be his weapons, and rarely ever uses any weapons. When he does use weapons, however, it's either to beat the hell out of someone who has gotten to him in the past, or to cheat in a situation where he can't win (the second one is highly rare but Im not so arrogant as to say it never does)

Other
Bio: At one time, Erik Gordon Rivers was at the top of the wrestling scene. He dominated through the ranks of XWM with no allies whatsoever. Although Laz and Matt Hunter were partnered together to beat the hell out of the tag champions, doesn't mean they liked each other. In fact, it was quite the contrary, and Laz even defended his International Championship against Matt. After XWM closed, he was offered a job in the upcoming federation AE, and his talents lead him to a World title shot against Chris Walker. Of course, Laz captured the title, and then defended again against Chris. After defeating his former best friend, Chad Savage, for the title, there was simply no stopping him. At one point, he was even asked by the AE management to drop the title because he was simply "too good". After a short search, a new contender was found in Shannon Summers. The match was set to go down in history, Laz versus Shannon Summers for the AE World Title, but AE closed it's doors before the match took place. After AE, came SEE, where Laz remained until his career slowly died. While in SEE, although winning only one title, Laz made many enemies, including proving to Chris Walker once again that Laz is superior. By the end of his career, Laz wasn't even half of what he was, and he was humiliated as Ryan Ross defeated him in his very last match. Now almost three years later, Laz returns and looks for redemption, as well as to exceed his former skills, to become more powerful than ever.

Detailed Entrance:
The audience is cheering for their favorite superstars. We see signs for people such as Ryan Ross, Drake Sage, and of course many others. Suddenly, the lights go out, leaving the cheering fans in the darkness. They soon become silent from wonder. We hear a man laughing, and as soon as the laugh is heard "Archetype" by Fear Factory pours out of the speakers. White lights circle the arena as the music blares on. One of the white lights focus on top of the ramp upon the one and only Laz, he wears his usual ring attire and arrogant grin. He walks about half way down the steel ramp, with his looke still upon his face, before he makes a stop. He pauses for a second, before hee slides into the ring and waits for his match to begin.
