Entrance:
The lights suddenly die.

“Will you tell these fools i’m not crazy! MAKE THEM LISTEN TO ME BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! Listen to me. Please listen. If you dont, if you wont— if you fail to understand, then the same incredible terror menacing me will STRIKE AT YOU!”

"PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE WATER
LET YOUR MOUTH GO SICK AND DRY
PUT YOUR LIFE INTO YOUR DEATH NOW
LET THEM SING UNTIL WE DIE
DIE
DIE
DIE"

As Slipknot brings the audio assault, Erik Holland hits the stage with arms extended out and palms open, an ugly grin tattooing his otherwise handsome features. Enjoying the chaos of the roiling smoke and red strobes, Erik storms the ring; he grabs the camera on the way there and yells some threats at tonight’s opponents before shoving it aside and doing a lazy lap around ringside before jumping up onto the apron, spinning around on his knees so he can face the audience who has been thrown into a full-on frenzy and more resembles a mosh pit than a wrestling audience. He looks out to the crowd with an intense look, gritting his teeth and ducking through the ropes, crawling back towards the camera to yell more threats, and even chew on the bottom rope to get more energy from the crowd!

He bounds to his feet, whipping off his goggles and throwing them into the crowd for the fans to either tear apart or bring home - he doesn’t care. He heads to the corner and crouches in it, staring at the entranceway, silently begging the bell to ring so he can hurt someone.

Year Started Wrestling: 2014
Primary Style: Brawler/Power/Deathmatch. Very similar to what you would see in a modern day heavyweight. Hard hitting, all offense, strikes, slams and suplexes as well as power-based submission holds. Demonstrates his resilience through his selling and connectingBabyface - Erik uses his own struggles with mental health and personal trauma to seek a connection with his fans. Fans also built a tremendous respect for his skills because of his Deathmatch prowess and willingness to take on any challenge. with the crowd. Completely comfortable in extreme environments and loves to employ unique weapons. Especially enjoys putting people through tables because the fans always pop for a table spot and almost goes into a trancelike state anytime he does.


Wrestles like a modern heavyweight in that he loves to chain maneuvers together one after the other for maximum pain and impact. He also loves to show off how strong he is and how hard he can hit - hes been known his entire career as one of the pound for pound strongest wrestlers in the industry, capable of lifting and throwing wrestlers much larger than him (with effort that he sells like crazy).

Risk taker and will happily step outside his box to try to win. In tag team attractions he is a very capable partner for almost any style of wrestler being a multiple time tag team champion with three different partners.

His weak point is his surgically repaired back which he broke in two places a couple of years ago. While he is pretty much healed, he will sell offense to the back like it’s killing him.
