[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]In-Ring Style[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]The in-ring style of DGX has been a constantly evolving animal over the course of his ten year career. Since re-establishing his partnership/association with Alex Sean in 2008 DGX has taken to training with his long time tag team partner. This has allowed over the last several years for some Mixed Martial Arts elements to creep into DGX’s style of fighting. While his technical base is as solid as it has ever been and his submission skills still sharp, the MMA adaptation to his style revolves around his speed and agility. Where once DGX used these attributes in his style to be hard hitting and quick in terms of space creation and a hit and run offense patterned after a young Shawn Michaels DGX now takes a more grounded approach involving footwork and timing to now be a very elusive and stingingly accurate striker. DGX will use these strikes and elusiveness to frustrate his opponents and set up a technical game with varying suplexes and takedowns opening the door for a very effective ground game.  A showman par excellence DGX will often times get into a rhythm during his matches which will breed a comfort which causes him to occasionally clown around/play with his opponents. This can manifest itself into Anderson Silva style bobbing and weaving/dancing on the feet to Dolph Ziggler patterned antics on the ground such as a handstand headlock etc . The drawback to this is DGX isn’t quite as nimble as he was in his youth (although he’s still quite speedy) so the door is open to his opponents to catch him in his games. One final double edged sword DGX rides into battle with is a fiercely competitive temper which when provoked can explode in fits of thoughtless violence in the ring. Which is to say it’s a very powerful and emotion driven onslaught when it’s provoked but if one can weather the storm long enough to collect themselves there’s really not allot of technique to it leaving DGX open to something big that can turn a match against him.[/size][/i]

[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Promo / Speaking Style[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]In another life DGX could have been a very effective political figure. Articulate and well read, DGX has an eloquence to his speaking that allows him to weave storylines that seem to make sense and add up to the average person. The number of people who see through DGX’s verbal machinations are not many often leading him to be a favorite of crowds where less manipulative people may be vilified. One of the most naturally charismatic speakers of his time DGX can insult his opponents with the best of them but what sets him apart is he often draws upon truthful failures and short comings to hammer home his points. In an episode of the popular Joss Whedon directed television show Angel, character Cordelia Chase once said of Angelus (TV character not the wrestler) “he distorts everything. He lies with the truth.” That line encapsulates DGX’s speaking style perfectly.[/size][/i]

[i][size=85]DGX looks as pictured, the age and years of hard living on the road and in the ring beginning to show on his face with some character wrinkles and of course even more gray creeping into his stubble. To that end he’s more or less done away with any bearded looks and only really goes as far as five-o-clock shadow anymore. His hair is shorter than it was but still very puffy if not wetted thus he frequently pours water all over himself in common wrestler tradition. His eyes are very sharp and beguiling, betraying years of experience and a sharp intellect as well as keen survival instincts. His body is not very naturally hairy causing him to shave his body regularly to keep smooth for the ring.[/size][/i]

[b][color=#F47931]Ring Attire[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Entrance Wardrobe[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]DGX has very few entrance attire embellishments. Occasionally since his return he will wear sunglasses to the ring in part to disguise the age from showing under his eyes as well as the fact that when you’re cool kids, the sun is always shining. The second item is a bit more symbolic in it’s meaning as well as a personal style choice for DGX. For the bulk of his career he’s been embroiled in a seemingly never ending feud with Michael “Tempest” Hart. In one of their run ins since the 2009 relaunch DGX was responsible for “retiring” Tempest and making him become a referee for a spell. In that time DGX claimed Tempest’s trademark entrance leather trench coat as his own. While that angle has since run its course with Tempest getting retribution and reacquiring his coat, DGX enjoyed the look and thus commissioned his own coats of varying designs: generally they are in line with 2011 Miz coats worn during his WWE title reign and also during ShoMiz (example [url=http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f42/DGX69/DGX%20trench.jpg][color=#FFFFFF]here[/color][/url]) but also can be Edge inspired also on special occasion matches.[/size][/i]

[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]In-Ring Wardrobe[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]As pictured, DGX’s attire is based on the colors of his hometown hockey team the Anaheim Ducks. The ensemble is exactly as pictured from the front and on the back of the tights he sports a stylized orange D which can be seen[/size][/i] [url=http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f42/DGX69/DGX%20Attire/DGtrunks2.jpg][i][size=85][color=#FFFFFF]here[/color][/size][/i][/url]

[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Protective Gear[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]DGX wears traditional black elbow pads on his right and left elbows. His wrists are taped usually with white athletic tape. He wears traditional black kneepads over a regular pair of black wrestling boots. Overtop of those boots he wears kick pads also in the style of the Anaheim Ducks.[/size][/i]


[b][color=#000000][size=200][u]RING ENTRANCE[/u][/size][/color][/b]
[b][color=#F47931]Entrance Music[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]"Amazing" by Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy[/color][/size][/b]

[b][color=#F47931]Entrance Description[/color][/b]
[i][size=85]DGX’s entrance is like his in ring style and his whole attitude in terms of its evolution: the longer it’s been around the more it’s simplified. Where once it was allot of pomp and pageantry with pyro and glitz now it’s exceedingly simple. When the opening drum beats to “Amazing” hit, the arena is bathed in DGX’s trademark green via scanning strobe lights, they also blink in concert to the beat. When Kanye first gets to the chorus chant of “it’s amazing” DGX enters the stage from the Gorilla position. His walk to the ring is slow and deliberate, he is making both his opponent and the audience wait: it’s a power play and a mind game. When he finally does enter the ring he walks to the far side ropes from where he entered and allows himself the one final trapping of pageantry from his early career, he strikes his classic crucifix pose (think 90s Jericho entrance) and behind him the sparkler pyro in a three leaf setup ALA Razor Ramon spits up behind him. When the pyro dies down he then disrobes of his leather trench coat he wears for his entrance and his music and stage effects shut off signalling the end of his entrance.[/size][/i]



[b][color=#000000][size=200][u]FINISHING MOVES[/u][/size][/color][/b]
[b][color=#F47931]Primary Finisher[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Breakdown Superkick[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]Often imitated, never duplicated the Breakdown is DGX’s interpretation of Shawn Michaels Sweet Chin Music. Explained in its simplest terms it is a kick to the face of an opponent usually preceded by theatrics. However what truly sets DGX’s superkick apart from all the imitators is the time he’s spent performing and perfecting the move. DGX has the maneuver dissected to the smallest detail and years of use have allowed him to perfect the technique meaning he knows better than almost anyone how to land the kick to maximum effect. The most dangerous part of DGX’s use of this move is repeated use has instilled instincts which cause DGX to simply react in situations where others may have to think about it to throw it. When it comes to DGX the move can be thrown anywhere, anytime and from any directionality to devastating effect. Typically DGX will ode Shawn Michaels by emulating his foot tapping routine that precedes the maneuver however it’s not always necessary. One drawback to DGX’s instinctive throwing of the move however is he does this heedless of position in the ring or his own condition meaning between ring position and endurance play factor into whether or not he secures the win in those instances.[/size][/i]

[b][color=#F47931]Secondary Finisher[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]The Decline[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]This submission maneuver is a new weapon DGX has perfected since including various Mixed Martial Arts disciplines in his training regiments and in ring style due strongly to Alex Sean’s influence. Fascinated by shoulder locks especially DGX has over the recent years perfected a very nasty omoplata which serves as a primary element of this new submission. Whilst learning to block an opponent from rolling to escape the aforementioned hold DGX realized it would be simple to add in a professional wrestling submission the Crippler Cross Face popularized by the late Chris Benoit. In many ways at the outset of this submissions application it closely resembles a submission hold used by Daniel Bryan in recent years, the Lebell Lock innovated by Gene Lebell. And while that hold is fully capable of garnering a submission all on its own the Decline is not truly applied until from the Lebell Lock DGX figure fours his legs and forces the entrapped arm flat to the canvas. This moves the hold back to a omoplata primarily and since that hold is the one that can break your arm/shoulder that is where the most damage can be done. At that point, the opponent either must tap or deal with a broken arm.[/size][/i]


[b][color=#F47931]Specialty Finisher[/color][/b]
[url=http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f42/DGX69/CF.gif][b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Centripetal Force[/color][/size][/b][/url]
[i][size=85]To view an animation of this move, click the text above. This is a rarely used finishing maneuver of DGX from his infamous time as a “vampire.” Drawing on his then partner Angelus’ finishing maneuver the Blessing (a modified Alabama Slam), DGX begins this maneuver in much the same way. He lifts his opponent up and at the height of the move allows them to slide down his back during which time he adjusts his grip. He then pushes down on the heels of his dangling adversary and sits out quickly as they come up and over creating the effect of whiplash in a sit out powerbomb variant.[/size][/i]


[b][color=#000000][size=200][u]TRADEMARK MOVES[/u][/size][/color][/b]
[b][color=#F47931]01[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Anaheim Angel Dust[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]A combination maneuver, this sequence is begun when an opponent walks in to DGX usually with aid of a rope rebound. Snatching his opponent up quickly and swinging them out DGX turns his own body as he does so and as he goes down positions his own right knee to serve as the canvas for his opponents landing as opposed to that mat ALA a regular swinging sidewalk slam finish performed by the late Ray Traylor. Off his unorthodox backbreaker DGX will stand pulling his jarred opponent up with him and upon finding his footing perform a vertical leap grabbing a reverse bulldog in the styling of Dolph Ziggler’s “Zig Zag” maneuver.[/size][/i]

[b][color=#F47931]02[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]The Clay Matthews [/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]Based strongly off Alex Sean’s “Ray Lewis” maneuver, this move begins in the same fashion where DGX will line himself up behind his opponent as they near a corner, rush toward them, and connect with a Flying Knee to the middle of their spine ala Randy Savage. As his opponent collides chest-first with the turnbuckles and stumbles backward, DGX runs past them and leaps with one foot to the second turnbuckle slightly turning as he does so. DGX kicks off the buckle however instead of doing the flipping neckbreaker Sean finishes with DGX instead kicks his opponent in the face off the rebound in the styling of Cody Rhodes “Disaster Kick.”[/size][/i]

[b][color=#F47931]03[/color][/b]
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND1rSsN4g1U][b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Golden State Crown[/color][/size][/b][/url]
[i][size=85]To view an animation of this move, click the text above. DGX will theatrically remove his elbow pads to show business is serious and then saunters over to a mount or side crucifix position (Salaverry) and proceeds to maul the face/back of the opponents head depending if they are on back or stomach with vicious elbows usually resulting in the opponent busted open.[/size][/i]

[b][color=#F47931]04[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]Golden Gate Plunge ([/color][/size][/b][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE608JvuCQQ][b][size=85][color=#B9986B]1 & 2[/color][/size][/b][/url] [b][size=85][color=#B9986B]-[/color][/size][/b] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSCnF7SwIog][b][size=85][color=#B9986B]3[/color][/size][/b][/url][b][size=85][color=#B9986B])[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]To view animations of the attacks in this combination, click the numbered text above. This is another combination attack of DGX whereby he hooks up his opponent into a fisherman’s suplex position usually preceded a flying forearm smash and kip up followed by a boot to the gut. He then hits not one but two swinging neckbreakers but holds the hold each time and spins his hips in the styling of the late Eddie Guerrero’s triple vertical suplexes the “Three Amigos.” Finally on the third time DGX plants his feet and lifts is opponent up and then drops them straight south in a fisherman’s buster completing the maneuver. DGX usually follows this with his top rope elbow to setup his Breakdown finish.[/size][/i]

[b][color=#F47931]05[/color][/b]
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwAv3sZOw_4][b][size=85][color=#B9986B]California Screamin’[/color][/size][/b][/url]
[i][size=85]To view an animation of this move, click the text above. DGX will rush an opponent emitting a banshee like scream as he does so before leaping and connecting with the reverse STO. Often used to turn the momentum of a match that’s been swaying against him.[/size][/i]

[b][color=#F47931]06[/color][/b]
[b][size=85][color=#B9986B]DGenerated[/color][/size][/b]
[i][size=85]This submission maneuver is DGX’s interpretation of Chris Jericho’s lion tamer variant of the Boston crab submission. While DGX is capable of applying the traditional crab commonly referred to today as the “Walls of Jericho” the hold is not at its most effective when applied in that form and typically usually only serves to wear down his opponent until they inevitably reach the ropes to force the break. When D sets in the lion tamer version, whereby he straightens the body of the holds victim and then sinks in the knee by their head/shoulder the pressure put on both the spine and knee ligaments is so intense opponents have to tap out in order to spare themselves permanent injury.[/size][/i]
