Alignment: Face
Combined Weight: 550 lbs.
Theme Song:
Entrance: "???" by ??? hits as the regular lights are replaced by steadily alternating lights of green and orange, the colors of Miami (FL) University. "The Beast" David Hohler and Tim Danielson both walk out onto the stage to a chorus of cheers from the fans. They each take a side of the stage and start trying to get the fans pumped up before they meet each other in the center and exchange a high five. They turn to face the ring and simultaneously raise their arms as the song hits the chorus, causing multiple pyros of red, light blue, green, and orange to go off before they head down to the ring, occasionally giving a few lucky fans in the front row some high fives. Danielson slides in the ring under the bottom rope while Hohler hops up onto the apron and steps between them. Danielson climbs to the second turnbuckle in the nearest corner and raises his arms once more while Hohler just takes the center of the ring, cracking his neck and knuckles as he waits for the match to begin. As Danielson steps down, the lights return to normal as the lifelong friends head to their corner to discuss some final bits of strategy.

Team Biography: Tim Danielson and David Hohler are lifelong best friends, and even roommates at Miami (FL) University, proudly representing the Hurricanes... Hohler for football and as an accomplished weightlifter and Danielson on the wrestling team. Danielson helped to get Hohler into the wrestling business after winning a tag title shot in an indy fed through his case in a Feast or Fired Match. When they took their shot, however, Danielson was injured following a botched double team move by the champions. Hohler has since signed with SCW as part of the Suicide Squad, but grew unhappy with the limits he had as far as freedom with Matt Bishop as his manager, especially following repeated failures by the team. Unable to get out of the contract to team with his best friend when Danielson was cleared to wrestle again, Tim signed a contract of his own for SCW to help his friend get free. Now, the two are reunited and intend to reach the level they were robbed of by fate... the level of tag team champions.

Short Bio: David Hohler is a former weightlifter who got into wrestling through a friend of his involved with the sport. He used the nickname "The Beast" because that's what all those who knew him called him. One day after an indy show he was approached by a man named Matt Bishop, who was putting together a team of powerful monsters to manage for a run in a company called SCW. He saw a lot of potential in David and offered him a spot, and he accepted, seeing this as his chance to step up into the big time.
After finding that he was going nowhere under Bishop's concept and feeling that the Suicide Squad was holding him back, issues began to develop between Hohler and the duo of Matt Bishop and Drew Weilacher. He couldn't simply quit the team, for Bishop's surprising legal power allowed him to slip a clause into Hohler's contract that he missed when he signed it, allowing Bishop the capability to terminate Hohler's SCW contract if he simply chose to leave the Suicide Squad, ensuring that it would mean he'd leave SCW too without anybody able to stop it. However, Dave's longtime friend and the man who got him into this sport, Tim Danielson, recovered from a severe neck injury he'd suffered that caused Hohler to have to go out on his own in the first place, and signed himself a contract with SCW. With these two reunited and with Dave free from Bishop's legal obligations, their goal is to become tag champions.

As the slow opening beats of "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider begin to sound, white lights begin pulsing on the stage with the beats. As the song starts going into the first lyrics, a spotlight shines down onto the stage as Tim Danielson begins to rise up from underneath it. As he completely rises and takes a few steps forward to the beginning of the rampway, he suddenly throws his arms high into the air, causing an explosion of red and white fireworks behind him. All the lights in the arena come on now, but beginning alternating between red and blue as Danielson makes his way down the ramp, giving high fives to various fans in the front row.

Finisher: DanielSlam (Olympic Slam)
Short Bio: Tim Danielson is a very talented wrestler. Having a great record in high school and college and even being a state champion wrestler and team captain of the Miami (FL) University wrestling team in his junior and senior years, Danielson is very accomplished. He joined the pro ranks and has found only decent success, however. As he wrestled in various indy feds for a few years, he eventually competed for one indy fed that held a Feast or Fired Match. Danielson had grabbed one of the cases, and it held a tag title shot. Not really finding any good team chemistry after having a bunch of tag matches with various partners leading up to the time when he actually cashed in his shot, he went outside the business for help. This is how Tim got his lifelong best friend, weightlifter and present SCW wrestler "The Beast" David Hohler, into the business. They had two tag matches and won them both, having unbelievable chemistry as a unit. They were more than ready to challenge for the tag titles.
Disaster struck, however, when they cashed in Tim's Feast or Fired case for the shot. On the night of this indy fed's anniversary show, Tim fell victim to a severe neck injury after a botched double team maneuver from the champs that put him on the shelf for many months. But now he's back, and ready to make a statement. Thanks to some things Dave's gone through while Tim was out, Hohler managed to secure his friend a contract with SCW to team with him once again. They've freed Dave from Bishop's binding contractual power, and now their focus is set on obtaining tag team gold.

Sample RP:
(Off-Camera)
Tim Danielson & Dave Hohler were both sitting on the couch in Tim's home, watching UFC 103 live on pay-per-view and trying to relax after an intense day of training. Dave takes a sip from his glass of water while Tim is looking over something he has written down on a sheet of paper.
"Hey Tim, what are you looking at?"
"Oh... just something I did a few days ago."
"OK, but what exactly is it?"
"Why do you care?"
"Dude, I'm your friend. I'm just curious, that's all."
Tim lets out a sigh.
"If you really want to know, I... made some bets on the UFC card tonight."
"Bets? Since when did you start gambling?"
"They're just fun bets for small amounts of money with some of the guys we used to have classes with at Miami."
Dave thinks to himself for a moment as Tim looks back at his notes, trying to reassure himself for the upcoming fight as Vitor Belfort is making his big entrance to the octagon.
"...how much?"
"Huh?"
"How much exactly are you betting?"
"We only bet on the top three fights on the card. And it's just small stuff, like 50¢ to $1."
"Alright. I'm just worried about you, dude."
"What's there to be worried about?"
"I just don't want to see you develop an addiction to gambling. That shit ruins lives, you know. And I don't want to see you get in way over your head with this."
"I understand Dave. And don't worry... I'm not going to go overboard with this. I swear I'll just stick with the small stuff. If it starts to get larger, I'm out. End of story."
"You can be sure I'll hold you to that Tim."
Their talking stops as the fight begins. Three minutes later, they're both cheering and high fiving one another after Belfort has decimated Rich Franklin. Tim's happily celebrating the fact that he chose right, while Dave's just happy that Franklin got his lights turned out. But nevertheless, they're both happy right now. But it won't last long, as they'll soon be reverting back to the focused and intense frame of mind that goes along with preparing for their next match.
(On-Camera)
"Well, this should be pretty interesting. We may have lost to the tag champs, but I think we made a heck of a point in showing that we can be valuable contenders for those belts. And now we're facing two other men that have shown themselves to be quite accomplished inside SCW. Although... to be honest, one of them is pretty bizarre if you ask me."
"And here we thought that Greaternity was dead and gone. I mean, Adam Allocco left, Shawn Winters is suspended, and Alex Desoubrais Jr. is too busy chasing Rachel Foxx. That leaves the newly-returned Ace Marshall and a man who I believed was never officially a member of Greaternity but liked to believe he was their second-in-command, Porno Lad."
"So we're just 'average' to you, huh Ace? Is there anything wrong with not having a true blue gimmick and actually caring more about what actually defines the wrestling business? And last I checked, what defined the wrestling business was wrestling, not all that stuff where you get to pretend to be something you're not, like Dave just went through. Yes, we lost against Liberation last week. Big deal. They're not the tag champs for a reason, you know. And last I checked, they did what Greaternity was unable to do in getting those belts away from Asher Hayes and Rachel Foxx. Sure, it may not have been you and... 'Porno Lad' who challenged them those times, but it was still the Greaternity name, which isn't much of a plus for you guys if you're now going to try and take up that mantle. Plus... why in the hell would we want to use your name to ever get into a club? If I remember correctly, you mentioned losing to Jake Starr. I seem to remember that you lost to him and then disappeared in shame because you got completely outclassed in the ring on that night. Yes, Dave and I lost to the tag champs last week, but we're not tucking our tails between our legs and running away in shame. We're simply going to beat the two of you to get ourselves back on the right track."
"You really haven't done your homework all that well, Ace. Tim wasn't even a part of SCW when I added a win over Mitch Sanders and Stephen Strange to my record. I was teaming with a guy who is inept and has absolutely no talent while having to take orders from a manager who had absolutely no idea what he was doing, and is now trying to sue SCW to get compensated for it. I may not have been on the same page as my partner on that night, but you know why we won? Because we were able to stay a unit longer than Strange and Sanders. They imploded first, and I was the one that made sure Strange could no longer believe himself to be undefeated. Tim and I? We've been best friends since our childhood, and we know how the other works. With us, it's almost like you have two brothers teaming together. Ace, you and Porno Lad may or may not really be the more talented athletes here, but Tim and I will be able to work together. I seriously don't doubt that you and Porno Lad are going to have issues and it'll cost you. And don't worry about us debating whether or not to take you guys seriously, because we're always prepared for a war whenever we step into that ring, regardless of whether or not we actually get one."
"I honestly hope you take us seriously Ace, because it'd be a shame if we won and you started randomly making up excuses for the loss. If you show the 'real' Ace Marshall and lose, then you'll really have no excuses to fall back on. Well, you could always blame Porno Lad, but if you know how he works then I think you might already know where that would lead the two of you. Yes, we have proven that we can hang around here. Dave's dealt with two of the guys that will no doubt be considered rookie of the year candidates and even holds a win over them, and we've both given a hell of a fight to the reigning tag champions. A win over the two of you would be huge for us, and we're not going to let that opportunity slip right through our fingers like we did last week. We learn from our mistakes, and we're not going to repeat them against the likes of you."
"We're not here to play the role of jobbers, we're here to complete our shared goal of being tag team champions. And if we need to kick your asses to drill that into your skulls, then so be it. But we're going to make everyone sit up and take notice this week, regardless of whether or not you two get along with one another. You guys can go ahead and beat the hell out of each other, because it's only going to hinder you in the end. And it's not going to be our fault when you two lose to us. After all..."
"United, we'll stand..."
"Divided, you'll fall..."
