PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION
Andre offers a diversity of different aspects of what a gimmick is. His most known gimmick in his fourteen years of wrestling is his "Relentless" gimmick as he calls it. It's a tribute to a song that changed his life which is "Relentless" by New Years Day as his true motivation to continue to do what he does best. Andre is looked as the underdog due to his smaller size than the average mediated wrestler. However, he captivates the audience with his comedic, and driven attitude but also has a huge shock factor as he displays a very aggressive, and sadistic attitude to his rivals. He's a yin, and yang as he relates to the trials and tribulations of others sacrificing a lot to achieve their dreams yet a blood thirsty hound on taking out anyone who threatens what he loves. If you get personal, woe to all souls who enter into the Home Sweet Holmes.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND
Andre was born and raised in Houston, Texas growing under a middle-classed family. He had a normal childhood, your average kid growing up to be a great productive member of society but ever since he turned on the television and saw Professional Wrestling, he fell in love. His father never really understood his passion due to his love for MMA but being a father who appreciated combat sports, he sacrificed a lot to help train Andre in the art of MMA along with paying for Pro Wrestling Training at the age of sixteen. His mother was a strong woman providing all she can until they passed away in a horrifying car crash when he was only seventeen years old.

Since then, Andre has had to work extremely hard paying bills, saving up for college until he met Samantha Pryor, the mother of his two daughters, Serenity and Athena. At the age of eighteen, he debuted in a company named World Extreme Federation while also attending the University of Houston studying Marketing. Samantha got pregnant at the age of 18 when Andre was 19 so buckling down on his schoolwork plus working and taking care of his girlfriend was really a challenge. Everything changed when he became WEF Champion, receiving better pay and paying his financial debts off.

Growing up after graduating college, he traveled around the world working in different wrestling promotions most notably as Midwest Extreme Wrestling winning not only World Championships in both companies but earning a Hall of Fame. 2009 for WEF, 2012 for MEW. He followed into Wrestling Championship Federation and recently resigned from United Championship Infinite Wrestling becoming the inaugural Triple Crown Champion and possibly the most accomplished athlete.

Although his career was fine, his personal life wasn't. He divorced Samantha Pryor due to her alcoholic addiction then got into another relationship with a twenty five year old woman from Miami, Kaitlyn Curran, who is currently the mother of his two newborn sons, Dean and Travis. He cheated on Kaitlyn during her pregnancy with Samantha but the couple are now engaged.

Andre feels his career isn't complete yet without one more run within a world renowned Professional Wrestling promotion.

REGULAR ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
A slow but assuring guitar riff broken up in a DJent pattern starts playing with the lights in the arena shutting off to illuminate gray colored images of Andre Holmes on the titantron. "Relentless" by New Years Day suddenly begins with lights flashing, and dancing around highlighting different sections of the arena. He walks out from the back wearing the black hoodie over his head, his ring attire on. Cheers are increasing like giant waves on the beach to him as he stands on the center stage surveying the crowd with a big smile on his face. Walking down the entrance path, he pauses until hearing the lyrics.

"Tear Me Down, It Won't Build You Up...."

A rise of smoke emerges behind him in single-line fashion as he stops center of the entrance path to raise his arms in the air, and a release a primal scream.

RING ANNOUNCER: "Introducing on his way to the ring! Hailing from Houston, Texas! At five feet, nine inches tall, weighing in at 201 pounds. He is "Relentless" Andre Holmes!"

Afterwards, the lights return back to normal, and he walks down to the ring while mingling with some of his fans at ringside. Climbing up onto the apron, he quickly runs to leap onto the middle rope. A spotlight emerges behind him to cloak him in a silhouette with smoke pushing upwards for that shadow effect. Hopping over the top rope, he lands inside the ring to stay in an unoccupied corner where he removes his hoodie, and tosses it to the outside. Standing in an unoccupied corner, Andre warms up, and he tightens the strap on his MMA Gloves waiting for his opponent to come out.
