1st Finisher



Finisher's Name: Scoop brainbuster
Finisher's Description: Also known as the Northern Lights Bomb in Japan. This move sees the wrestler put the opponent in a front facelock, scoop one the opponents thighs with his free hand, lift him or her upside down, and then drop to his side or back, driving the opponent to the mat on his neck and shoulders, or on the top of his head.



2nd Finisher



Finisher's Name: Suplex slam
Finisher's Description: Also known as a Jackhammer, this move is similar to most suplexes and starts with the attacker applying a front face lock to his/her opponent and draping the opponent's near arm over his/her shoulder, then lifting him/her up and holding the opponent in the vertical position. This is where the move differs from most of its counterparts with the attacker not falling with the opponent, but rather shifting themselves slightly and throwing their opponent to the mat on his stomach. Sometimes this involves the wrestler turning the opponent in midair and slamming the opponent down to the mat in front of him/her onto their back, similar to a high-angled body slam. The suplex slam can also be used for other suplexes such as the fisherman suplex or gutwrech suplex.

A rather large wrestler at nearly 7 feet tall and 270-plus pounds. Locke is originally from Norman, Oklahoma but moved around quite a lot because his father was in the United States Marines. Locke was All-American standout for the Oklahoma Sooners football team but was sideline with a complete break of his right femur and lost his place on the team following surgery and rehabilitation. After healing and getting his degree in Political Science he decided to move to Washington, DC to pursue a career on "The Hill". After a couple of years, Locke followed his long-time love Dana who was expecting a baby and wanted to return to the place where she was born Las Vegas, Nevada and because jobs were drying up for her and wanted to be closer to her ailing parents. Following his wife across the country, Locke wanted to do something athletic again and professional wrestling seemed like the perfect fit, after convincing Dana he pursued wrestling school and was a stand out from the start. Crafting a persona and painstakingly began building a fan base on the independent circuit, he joined Asylum Sports Entertainment almost from the beginning.



A mishap in the ring cause him to break the same leg he had in college which devastated him, soon he found himself sitting at home trying to decide what next when he received a phone call from ASE Owner Charlie Feigel; that offer included two years as a color commentator while reconditioning and rehabilitating himself for a return to the ring. On his thirtieth birthday in 2013 he would rejoin the active roster and for several months battled for the ASE World Heavyweight Championship, a mixed record of 5 wins and 5 losses plus fan reactions causes a temporary return to the commentary booth before it was determined his contract wouldn't be extended and he was release in January 2014.



His career now is coming full circle yet again, in late 2015 he was pursuing his Master's degree at UNLV when a familiar face walked up to him in the student center. The wife of his old boss Charlie Feigel offered him a shot at revenge and Locke immediately re-signed a contract with ASE, joining other former members of the ASE roster to form the underworldly Yakuza. At #TheWardXIV he entered to reveal a revenge plot was afoot and he tried to recruit an unlikely ally in former ASE Pride Champion Mike Dimter who is slated to face Charlie Feigel at the following pay-per-view event.
