Type (Face, Heel, Tweener): Tweener

Wrestling Style: A fairly good all-rounder. Technical, speed, some brawling if necessary. He's more partial to suplexes than anything else.

Strengths: Strong mat wrestler with a decent amount of speed at his disposal. Able to go for a long time. Rather intelligent. Excellent at picking away on one area of an opponent's body.

Weaknesses: Not the strongest physically, much larger opponents will be able to overpower him. Not a great brawler. Despite being something of a gimmick match veteran, he's not too great when it comes to the Hardcore style.

Grade: B

At A Glance: Aidan is a prime physical specimen, lightweight yet not underpowered, and well adapted to battling foes of varying styles in the ring. He’s exceedingly technical and talented with submissions, and he’s also a very smart man, capable of leading his fellow teammates through ring craft and example as opposed to showboating or overusing one type of ability. This makes Aidan flexible as a competitor, and with his superior stamina, he can keep it up all day if need be. The best way to battle Donnelly revolves around forcing him to brawl, as he lacks the size or strength to keep up with a powerhouse in that respect for very long. Plus, if you can get into his head by not allowing him to use his talents, he might be coaxed into lowering his outstanding defense more than otherwise.

Grade: C

At A Glance: “The Celtic Giant” Shane Malone got his nickname for good reason—he’s a big, intimidating man with vast strength, and sturdiness comparable to a solid block of reinforced concrete. He can take a lot of punishment and really dishes it out in all of his attacks, whether they are slams or strikes. He’s great with submissions if not simply because he has the power to twist someone like a pretzel and because of his sheer size (which makes him rather difficult for the average wrestler to contort). Should he get a hold of a weapon, the situation in fighting him becomes even more critical as Shane will use it to deadly effect. Oh yes, and he’s also rather smart too, which means that trying to trick him generally isn’t going to work. Instead, if one wants to take out Shane Malone and they’re not on equal ground with him, strength-wise, then they’ll have to take advantage of his lack of speed and move around him—he’s not outstanding with technical moves, so it’s not a huge problem to do so. Whilst doing so, wear him down. He’s very strong and very dangerous overall, but he knows that he needs to finish an adversary off quickly with his overwhelming strength, because if he doesn’t, then he risks tiring out which will very much hinder what he can do in the ring.

From: Donegal, Ireland

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 182lbs

Age: 21

Debut: EWT: Kingdom of Hurt, 4th June, 2006

Theme Music: "Shamrocks & Shenanigans (Butch Vig Mix)" by House of Pain

Favorite and Common Moves:
All manner of springboard & top-rope moves
Double-Foot stomps of all varities
Enzuguiri
Frankensteiner
Hurricanrana
Moonsault
Super Kick
Tornado DDT

Finishers:
"Donegal Drop"[/i] (A stunner in which he maintains his grip on the opponents head & neck, then follows up with an Ultimo Dragon/ Sonjay Dutt style reverse DDT)

"Dublin Stomp"[/i] (Moonsault Double Stomp)[/url]

Type (Face, Heel, Tweener): Tweener

Wrestling Style: The high-flyer of the group. McCann will head to the top rope whenever he can. He has a fondness for double-foot stomps (whether from the top rope or not).

Affiliation: Team Ireland

Titles Held: EWT World Tag-Team Championship [x1] (w/ Aidan Donnelly)

Basic Appearance: Chin-length blonde hair, Brown goatee, Eric Young physique.

Wrestling Attire: Baggy silver or white pants with a thick green stripe on each side, "IRELAND" written across the rear in green, green headband, green fingerless gloves. Wears a silver or white vest with "TI" on the back during his entrance.

Strengths: Speed & agility. He is able to last quite long (as he'll be quick to tell you). Smarter than he appears. Can wrestle technically, but high-flying is his speciality.

Weaknesses: Despite his intelligence, McCann is a goof-off. Being the prolific ladies man that he claims, he can often be distracted by women (race, religion, size, beauty are irrelevent). Weak brawler. Not very strong & easily overpowered.

Facts:
Real Name: Sean McCann
Age: 21
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual... VERY Heterosexual
Living Direct Relatives: Father, Mother, Step-Father, 5 brothers, 3 sisters, 2 half-brothers, 4 half-sisters
Ethnic Ancestry: Irish
Character's Idol: Hugh Hefner
Favourite Match: Team Ireland vs. Raskall & Trunk, Escalator to Heaven Match, EWT: Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal.

Favourite Food: Cheeseburger & chips
Favourite Drink: Bailey's
Favourite Animal: Birds (heh-heh)
Favourite Music Style: Hip-Hop
Favourite Movie: Ghostbusters (1984)
Favourite TV Show: Robot Chicken
Personality Disorders and Other Traits: Extremely narcissistic & vain. Rather slow-witted.
Other Facts: Claims to have slept with over 100 women including most of the EWT & W*I*G female roster. Sean was a top competitor in Irish dancing in his youth.

Max Lift: 289lbs
Grade: C

At A Glance: Flashy and extremely quick, Sean McCann fills the role of the speedy luchador for Team Ireland, and rightfully so; he is the fastest-moving of anyone on the roster of W*I*G and one of the most agile as well. His level of stamina is excellent and comes with very few equals and no betters. He’s also pretty technical (no doubt influenced by his sheer speed and agility). When put together, Sean is a very good attacker and a very good defender who is not only extremely hard to hit, but also quite adept at keeping up his pace should he need to. However, he’s not invincible, and someone who can keep pace with him and/or counter some of his high-impact aerial or speed moves can get the upper hand over him. Sean isn’t outstandingly tough and is relatively weak compared to most other guys on the roster, so if he’s immobilized then he simply will not have a way to really fight back, which is also true against submission specialists, who he cannot compete with on equal ground, hold-for-hold. But keep in mind, the “Don Juan of Donegal” is no easy man to actually catch, and with his energy and ability to find “extra openings,” he can regain momentum in a match when one least expects it.

"Skyline Driver" (Maeve lifts her opponent overhead in a Gorilla Press position, she then segues quickly into an Emerald Frosion)

Type (Face, Heel, Tweener): Tweener

Wrestling Style: A lot of power! Slams, suplexes & powerbombs are the order of the day. Tends to dole out a lot of stiff kicks, elbow & forearm shots & other such striking manoeuvres. Kind of a Joshi-style.

Affiliation: Team Ireland

Titles Held: None

Basic Appearance: Long blonde hair. Muscular physique, huge arms & thighs in particular. A large Celtic design is tatooed over her right arm.

Strengths: Extremely strong & fast, with a decent knowledge of technical wrestling. Great stamina.

Weaknesses: Not one for high-flying attacks. No real method to counter aerial attacks either. Still a relative newcomer. Known to underestimate opponents. Large physique makes her susceptible to muscle tears. Lack of flexibility; if she's trapped just right in a submission she will have no counter for it.

Living Direct Relatives: Mother, 2 sisters, 2 brothers,
Ethnic Ancestry: Irish
Character's Idol: Cecilia Ahern (for stepping out from her father's shadow & being recognized for her own acheivements)

Grade: C

At A Glance: Maeve O’Hare is an extremely athletic woman, much larger than most of her contemporaries and with the physical strength and durability to match. She slams hard, hits hard, and absorbs all forms of damage like a sponge. Plus, she moves around the ring quite well for someone so strong. Maeve’s style revolves around fighting in a manner that keeps her opponents options against her to a minimum—just keep on hitting and don’t let an adversary get a moment to rest. She’s got the stamina to carry it out too, and with her very impressive style, it makes her all the more dangerous; not to mention she knows how to launch the occasional “contingency plan” without a hitch—something she probably picked up from her father. But fortunately for anyone unfortunate enough to have to fight her one-on-one in the ring, there are ways to battle her. Like many other people of her style, male or female, while she’s not averse to using technical-based power moves and suplexes, that doesn’t mean she can mat or chain wrestle particularly well. That method forces her to temporarily almost abandon some of her advantages in an attempt to keep even ground, which she does do sometimes out of her inexperience. That’s not to say that it’s easy to get into her head, but if she thinks she’s had it for a match, then she’s probably done. Combine this weakness with her general susceptibility to submission holds, and you might just be able to halt the momentum on this frighteningly powerful in-ring machine.

Tag-Team moves:

Any two members of the team are liable to use these moves:
"Electric Bread Slicer"[/i] - One man (whomever the physically stronger member at that time happens to be) takes an opponent on his shoulders in an Electric Chair position while the other grabs the opponent by the neck & runs up the turnbuckles hitting a Shiranui.

"No Sleep 'Til Dublin"[/i]- One man holds an opponent in a wheelbarrow position & executes what is best described as a sit-out wheelbarrow facebuster, while the other man hits a Diamond Cutter to that same opponent.

"Whiskey in the Jar" - One man hits a Samoan Drop on the opponent while his partner performs a swinging neckbreaker.

Aidan & Sean only will use these moves:
"All-Ireland Finale"[/i]- Aidan gives the opponent a Lungblower while Sean leaps from the top with a flying Double Stomp.

"Aer Lingus"[/i]- Double C-4 from the top rope.

Shane & Sean only will use these moves:
"Emerald Isle Crusher"- Shane executes a Canadian Backbreaker on the opponent as Sean does a top-rope Double Stomp.

Shane & Maeve only will use these moves:

"Irish Pride"- Shane lifts the opponent on his shoulders for a Canadian Backbreaker & Maeve jars them with a Neckbreaker.

"Celtic Cracker"- Shane gives the opponent a Chokeslam right onto Maeve's knees.

Double Chokeslam

Double Powerbomb

Triple-Team moves:
Powerplex/ Top Rope Splash- Two men perform a Powerplex on an opponent & Maeve jumps from the top as the opponent is suspended between the two men.

Bio:
Team Ireland came to W*I*G with a reputation, but that reputation is something that they have elected to leave behind them as they move forth. A new territory means new challenges & Team Ireland are always up for a fight.

Strengths: Team Ireland are a well-oiled machine. They have been working together (or at least have been familiar with eachother) for a number of years. Aidan & Sean have great experience as a Tag-Team, in particular. Shane & Maeve can both provide power to the team, if need be. Coach O'Hare is one of the most devious men in wrestling & knows how to manipulate opponents & officials in the right way to ensure victory for his team.

Weaknesses: Maeve is not quite as familiar with the team work aspect as her male counter-parts. Sean is a complete show-off & will often try to make things look flashier even if it costs his team victory. O'Hare's rampant cheating has cost Team Ireland victory on more than one ocassion.
