CODY "A-LIST" MARSHALL

CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: Cody Marshall
PICTURE BASE: Luke Gallows
NICKNAME: "A-List", "Comedy Gold", "The Hollywood Hoss"
HEIGHT: 6'8"
WEIGHT: 305 lbs
BILLED FROM: Hollywood, California
ALIGNMENT: Face
ENTRANCE MUSIC: "California Love" by 2Pac feat. Dr. Dre
SPECIAL ENTRANCE:

(The arena lights go completely pitch-black as the audience begins to murmur with excitement.)

Mysterious Voice: QUIET ON THE SET. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE QUIET ON THE SET!

(The warning serves not to quiet the fans, but causes them to erupt in even louder cheers. A montage of all things Hollywood flashes on the arena jumbotron, finishing with a publicity shot of Cody Marshall in his ridiculous outfit from hit sitcom Bad Cops.)

CAAAALIFORNIA LOOOOOVEEE!

("California Love" by 2Pac feat. Dr. Dre blares throughout the arena as the crowd reaction reaches a FEVER PITCH. Cody Marshall steps out onto the stage, pushing a cart filled with boxes of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and wearing a studded leather vest bearing the words "ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY A-LIST" over his ring gear. He looks around at the crowd, basking in the reaction as two stage hands rush past him and roll a red carpet down the ramp.)

Ring Announcer: Now residing in Hollywood, California... He weighs in tonight at 305 pounds... HE IS THE STAR OF BAD COPS... COOOODDDDYYYYYYY "A-LIST" MARSHALLLLLLL!

(Cody struts down the ramp, stopping along the way to sign autographs, bump fists with front-row fans, and throw boxes of doughnuts into the crowd. He then makes his way into the ring, his hulking frame clearing the top rope in one effortless step as pyrotechnics shoot from the corners. Cody lets out a loud scream of "WE THE A-LIST", and the crowd repeats it back. Cody heads to his corner, that aggressive smirk of his never leaving his face as "California Love" fades out.)

GIMMICK

Bald. Badass. Blingalicious. Your favorite All-American Elitist has gone Hollywood: catch him on the new FOX sitcom Bad Cops! The series follows Sgt. Hank James (Cody Marshall) and his rag-tag team of undercover cops as they get into all kinds of shenanigans with criminals, pirates, doughnuts, and barely legal blondes, all while trying to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel! Cody has taken to the Hollywood lifestyle, trading in his Ford F-150 for a brand-spanking-new BMW and his dipping tobacco for one of those newfangled vape devices, acquiring extremely leathery outfits, and referring to his fans as "Marshmallows". He still loves beer though, and you'll never get him to order one of those fruity chick drinks. Cody's got a credit card that's got no limit, and a big black jet with a bedroom in it. His publicist thought it would be a good idea to include Nickelback lyrics here. Cody is currently trying to fire his publicist.

When asked about his approach to acting, Cody responded "I like to make the world laugh. If I can do that, I go to bed a happy man". Cody then pulled a Krispy Kreme Jelly Doughnut out of his jacket pocket and devoured it. His advice for success in life, given between doughnut bites, is as follows:

"Live large, lift heavy, wrap your dick, and watch Bad Cops Monday nights at 8PM, 7 Central".

MOTIVATIONS

Cody got into this business because he knew that the best way to provide for his family was not to work in a warehouse or an office, but to fight people. With his recent Hollywood success, Cody is now filthy fucking rich. He continues to compete in EAW because he still loves a good ol' fashioned fight, he loves the spotlight, and he loves the roar of the crowd.

TENDENCY TO CHEAT: In the ring: Rarely. On his wife: Often. On his taxes: Always.

WEAPONS OF CHOICE: Police baton, Taser, pepper spray. Not only does Cody play a cop on TV, he also incorporates their weapons into his wrestling style!

NOTES

- Cody served in the US Marine Corps and was deployed to Iraq from 2003 - 2005.
- Cody is an ordained Baptist minister, and was pastor at First Baptist Church in Austin, Texas, from 2011 to late 2016.
- How did a cornfed Texas meathead like Cody Marshall wind up in Hollywood? Great question! It goes back to Cody's feud with El Ironico in mid-2017. Cody and Ironico's comedic segments caught the eye of Hollywood talent agents, and FOX studio execs reached out to Cody, inviting him to read for a lead role on a new buddy-cop comedy pilot. After an amazing screen test, Cody was offered the role of Sgt. Hank James on the now hit TV show Bad Cops!
- Cody supports sensible sex education in high schools: "Back in Texas, y'know, they taught abstinence-only sex ed. I was a father of two before I found out what a condom was! If someone had given me this information back in high school, I'd be fucking every starlet in Hollywood right now! I'd be like Leo DiCaprio! Use protection, kids".
- After some pleasurable experiences with Latina women, Cody no longer hates Mexicans. He has not told his wife, Paisley, about these experiences, and does not ever plan to.
- With the aid of Hollywood vocal coaches, Cody has mostly gotten rid of his Texas accent in order to appeal to broader audiences. However, when Cody becomes very angry, he has a tendency to slip back into his natural Texan way of speech.
