Real name: Harold Laramie
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
Age: 27
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: Around 230. He's been bulking up.
Appearance: Black hair, piercing blue eyes, and a gleaming smile. He often wears ragged clothes out to town, except when the situation calls for fancy dress.
Biography (life story):
Son of a pretzel baker in South Philadelphia, Harold lived a relatively ordinary life, and was under a great deal of pressure to continue the family business. During his summers as a youth, instead of playing ball with friends or playing video games he worked as a street vendor selling his father's fresh baked pretzels. He would often made a route around local parks and sold pretzels to his schoolmates who played ball while he worked to pay for school supplies...
I the year of his high school graduation, ECW set up shop in a nearby bingo hall that his father catered to. His father encouraged him to bring a vending box out into the arena and make a few bucks wandering the stadium...
Harold soon became entranced by the sport of wrestling and quickly his father found his son sitting on the job, cheering his favorites! His father, ashamed of his son, threw Harold out, telling him that he would now have to make his own way in the world.
Harold took the few bucks he'd made the few days prior and his pretzel making/vending talents to the west coast where the awesome Laramie pretzel was practically unheard of. He soon made enough money on his own to get him to wrestling school. The school was in affiliation with GHW. The rest is history!
In-ring info
Name: Harold the Pretzel Man
Nickname(s): harry, pretzelguy, Mr. Pretzel
In-ring appearance (can be a pic): He USUALLY wears a suit coat with red and white vertical stripes, and a similar top hat. He also carries a vendor's box full of yummy pretzels to ringside to disperse amongst the fans on his way to the ring.
Entrance appearance (can be a pic): Underneath his suit coat (above) he wears a legged onelet with a similar design. He has one he occasionally wears with a pretzel design on the back. This is matched with boots he is very meticulous about matching the stripes of the legs with the stripes on the boots to make sure they're perfectly even!
Signature taunt(s): He folds his hands in prayer, as that is what the shape of a pretzel was apparently formed after, or so he says...
Wrestling style: technical. He is a bit of a soft touch, and often uses way too little pressure on a submission to prevent injuring his opponent.
Finishers: Pretzel tyer - With the opponent face up on the mat, he grabs up the ankles and pulls them up over the head into kind of a reverse boston crab/pin type of situation.
