                 black elbow pads, black boots, knee pads, and kick guardslike Chris Jericho and RVD wear. Kick guards have Whypser in white on the
                 sides. Wears black fingerless gloves to the ring. Alternately, wears white athletic tape from his forearms to the middle of his hands that
                 have 'X"s drawn on the back of the hands like CM Punk.
Arena Attire: Wears baggy clothes, mostly black, but has other colors as well. Considers himself of the goth/hardcore persuasion. On
                 his left bicep, has a tat of a Celtic cross and below that, the eagle symbol on the Mexican flag. Also has a tatoo in old English font that
                 reads sXe at the base of his neck. It means that Whysper is an adherent to the Straight Edge lifestyle. It means No drugs, no alcohol,
                 no smoking, and no promiscuity. He doesn't even smoke...though he does like a good cigar now and then.Next, he has a tat of the
                 American bald eagle symbol on the inside of his left forearm. The eagle has its wings spread out with an olive branch symbolizing
                 peace in its left talon. In its right talon it holds a bunch of arrows, symbolizing war. The eagle has its head turned to the left side. In its
                 beak, it holds a two-sectioned banner that says In God on the left side and We Trust on the right.   Also has Straight Edge tattooed

                 tattooed FATE. Has a red biohazard symbol on the top of his right forearm. It's formed to look like a bunch of Jesus fish. On one side,
                 it says Rom. and on the other side 12:2. It stands for Romans 12:2 his favorite Bible verse.
Crowd Affiliation: Face. I'll play anything I'm asked to, though.
Primary Psychology: Whysper 's primary psychology is his arsenal of lucha moves.
Secondary Psychology: His secondary psychology is a mix between a "live for the moment" type of attitude and that of a methodical wrestler. He likes to plan out a strategy, seeing as he wants to be prepared and doesn't want to fail, but tends to just go ahead and do things without thinking anyway. He also has a tendency to be overly aggressive when provoked.
Style: Luchador
Coin Phrase(s): "Dancing to the Sound of Silence"  preceded by "Soon You'll be or You'll all be" He has many varations on this. Also..."Silence is Golden," and "I do my talking in the ring." "Talk is cheap."

General Attitude: Whysper is the quiet type as his name suggests. He's very intelligent, has a great(albeit sarcastic) sense of humor, and is very easy-going most of the time. He is rather intense underneath that laid back facade of his, though. He has a bad temper. To those that don't know him, the introverted Silent Warrrior comes off as a snob sometimes and are very surprised at his intelligence and humor when he does speak. Give him time, it doesn't take very long for him to warm to people if you give him a chance. He's a very genial person. He also has a long defiant, stubborn streak and a strong sense of justice. If anybody is in trouble and nobody does anything about it...expect the Silent One to respond.
Absolute Do(s) and Don't(s):  Whysper does not drink, do drugs, or indulge in tabacco. He doesn't go around picking fights. So, don't display him as a bully looking for fights.  He's VERY scarcastic, and it gets on even his wife's nerves at times.  He speaks fluent Spanish, so feel free to use that when necessary. Whypser does cuss, but doesn't have a potty mouth.

Favorite Match(s): anything
Least Favorite Match(s): Doesn't really have one save an Ironman match, seeing as he doesn't think he has that much stamina. Still, it isn't gonna anger him if he's put in one. Also, while he does not mind being in hardcore matches, he does not like to be in a match where you only use weapons and no wrestling to win. He considers himself an artist in the ring and likes to wrestle. To him, any idiot can swing a chair or break a table. It takes real talent to wrestle . So, don't put him in a whole lot of hardcore matches. If you do, though, expect him to actually wrestle and not rely on weapons. Though, there are exceptions at times.
Taunt: Crosses his arms in an 'x' formation like CM Punk. Also, does the rock on/heavy metal taunt....nothing original, really.

Moves ( AT LEAST 15, NO FINISHERS!) *What that means is that you can't use the RKO, Pedigree, Sweet Chin Music, or any other moves of that sort as one of your regular moves. And you ABSOLUTLY can't use ANY ICWA performer's finisher as one of your regular moves*

                [1]slingshot body splash

Signature Moves: *Not typically the finish of the match, but a move that your superstar is well known for and makes the fans pop (or boo if your a heel) and/or sets up for the finish* ------

 Silencer -  Diving Bulldog from top rope...Silent Scream - Lionsault with a twist. It's an ode to his favorite wreslter, Chris Jericho.

Finisher(s): *That's it, it's over. This is the move that ends your opponent damned near everytime.*------

Sound of Silence- diving leg drop bulldog(from turnbuckle or any raised platform)AKA Fameasser. Sound of Silence(alternate version) -   Whysper gives
                them the kick to the gut so that they double over, he hits the middle rope and spins over so that his  feet lands on the opponent's
                back, and then as they start to fall, he sits it into a legdrop on the back of their head.
                Poetic Justice -  spinning sleeperslam (Also a Jericho move, he catches the head of a charging opponent, swinging around them to pull
                them down to the mat). Can do it from anywhe...leaping off of turnbuckles and raised platforms for instance as long as the opponent's
                back is in front of him...Match writers, just use your imaginations. 
                Silent Treatment -  Mexican Armbreaker(Starts out with Whysper standing over fallen opponent's head, facing opponent's body. He
                crosses the opponent's arms in an X formation, then flips over onto his back. The opponent is standing while Whysper is on ground
                doing a headscissors. The opponent's arms are crossed in an X behind Whysper's legs. He pulls the opponent's left arm with his left
                hand that is between his own thighs and the opponent's right arm with his right arm that is just outside his own right thigh.) It's on the
                Smackdown! Vs. RAW 2007 game for further reference. I can't find the technical name for it.

Bio: Give us any history or info on your character you see fit... You don't have to write an essay or a novel, but enough for our commentators to look like they've done their homework would be appreciated.*------

Whysper is a simple country boy from Indiana who's seen his share of success in the MSN circuit. He gets his
                 name from his trainer, who is Angelina's grandfather, Antonio Machado, a former Mexican luchador. He nicknamed Whysper El Susurro("whisper" in Spanish)
                 because his charge was so quiet and pensive. However, do not mistake the Silent One's introvertedness, nor his size, as a sign of
                 weakness. As he puts it himself, Whysper has to be a giant-killer, because of his size, if he wants a career. So, whenever he steps into
                 the ring with someone twice his size...it's just another day on the job.
Detailed Entrance:

"Fire it up" blasts through the P.A. and plays awhile, awaiting the arrival of the Silent Warrior. "Face your fear. Accept your war. It is what it is." is sung and then the Silent One hits the stage with Angelina as the song continues. He flips his hair back and pounds his chest with his fist and gives the
                 rock/heavy metal taunt. Then, he crosses his arms in an 'X' formation in front of his body. After that, the Silent One looks towards Heaven and
                 points towards it. He then looks at Angelina and she turns to him dramtatically, pressing herself against him as he grabs her around
                 the waist. She puts her arms around Whysper's shoulders and wraps her right leg around his waist as he holds it around the thigh area.
                 Angelina caresses the Silent One's face as he does hers. They then engage in a long, passionate kiss. 
                 "Making his way to the ring, weighing one hundred ninety pounds. From Plainville, Indiana, being escorted by Angelina
                 Santana....Whyyysssperrrr!!!" 
                 After releasing each other, Whysper walks to the ring, stopping to slap hands with the crowd, Angelina sauntering behind him. She waves
                 to the crowd and converses with them lightly. Once Whysper gets a few feet from the ring, he sprints and slides in. Angelina walks to
                 the ring steps and makes her way up them. Once Whysper stands back up, he sits on the bottom rope and holds the second one up for
                 Angelina as she climbs in. They walk to the center of the ring and Angelina stands in front of Whypser, her back to him. She wraps her
                 right arm around his neck as Whysper caresses her arm. He grabs her left arm, laces his fingers with hers and wraps his and Angelina's
                 arms around her waist with his arm on top. Angelina tilts her head, closing her eyes in ecstasy as Whysper kisses her neck. Then,
                 Whypser releases her and she climbs out of the ring and gives the crowd a few choice words as they taunt her. Whysper climbs a
                 turnbuckle and does the same rock taunt he did on stage, but does the it with both hands in the air and with his mouth open like he's
                 yelling.  Then he crosses his arms in front of him in the form of an 'X.' After that, Whysper runs to another turnbuckle and does the
                 same taunts again. He then hops down from the turnbuckle, kneels, and prays.

Without Angelina(whenever match rules/stipulations state she not be at ringside or if the storyline dictates so): 

At first the intro to "Fire It Up" plays
                 a while, "Face your fear. Accept your war. It is what it is." is sung and then the Silent One hits the stage as the song continues.  He flips his hair back, pounds his chest with his fist and gives the rock/heavy metal
                 taunt. Then, he crosses his arms in an 'X' formation in front of his body. After that, he looks towards Heaven and points towards it.
                

 "Making his way to the ring, weighing one hundred ninety pounds. From Plainville, Indiana....Whyyysssperrrr!!!"
                

He walks to the ring, slaps hands with the crowd, and once he gets a few feet from the ring, he sprints and slides in.  He climbs a
                 turnbuckle and does the same taunt he did on stage, but with both hands and with his mouth wide open like he's yelling. Then, he
                 crosses his arms in front of him in the form of an 'X.'  He runs to another turnbuckle and does the same taunts again. He then hops
                 down from the turnbuckle, kneels, and prays.
