Hoyakillah
The Most Dangerous Man In Professional Wrestling
web.archive.org/web/20030919164657/http://www.geocities.com/hoyakillah/
Height: 5'8
Weight: 175; built like Dean Malenko or Chris Benoit
Appearance: Dark brown, greying hair dyed dark red, but growing out, with sideburns and a goatee; green-grey eyes; dresses in suits most of the time or sweaters and jeans, sunglasses
In-ring, black wrestling tights with a blue honeycomb lattice over them - his Virus tights from EFWO, boots, dark long-sleeve shirt (sweater/sweatshirt/jersey).
Intense.
Entrance Music: "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", Guns N' Roses
Wrestling style: Technical/submission wrestler with some experience in lucha and hardcore. Hoya is often known as the master of 1000 holds, because he uses a dizzying variety of suplexes, DDTs, submission holds and others, learned from his time running the Dojo, and he has a tendency in matches to focus on a specific body part, using his arsenal to break a particular weakness, be that a joint, an injury, etc.
SIGNATURE MOVES:
The Answer: camel clutch often using a foreign object against opponent's windpipe
Good Mourning: ankle-lock
Sweet Southern Music: superkick
Lockdown: Dragon-screw legwhip, holding the leg and immediately locking in a figure-four leglock
Dikembinator: Vandaminator
OYALJT (On Yo' Ass Like John Thompson): Drop-toe hold (specifically, into the lowest turnbuckle)
Inducer: standing enziguiri, where the leg stays on the side of the neck, and the other leg comes up on the way down on the other side of the neck, so that when the victim goes down, he or she is in a head-scissors chokehold
Fifth Floor: somersault off the top rope or turnbuckle, 360 degrees, into a split-legged legdrop -- generally needs to be done to the outside to work
M-Street-Sweeper: opponent's knees kicked out from behind, followed by a back slam for a pin or to set up the Manic Compression (see below)
Undercut: Spear (specifically, chop-blocking the knees)
Hoya Bomb: powerbomb variant where opponent is lifted up all the way in a stall powerbomb, but rather than being bombed, is dropped backwards on his or her face
Rain of Pain: Sharpshooter ALL the way back, grabbing opponent's head in a reverse facelock
Tajiri kick: VERY stiff moving kick or baseball slide
Rolling senton: Eddie Guerrero's senton bomb holding the ropes
Implant DDT: opponent is kneed in the solar plexus at beginning of move to increase momentum toward the mat
Reverse DDT: used as a a counter to power moves
Hoya Paranoia: reversal of a back-body drop into a modified Pedigree
Backlash: sunset-flip variant where opponent is locked into Tree of Woe (upside down in corner, feet locked into the turnbuckle), where he grabs the opponent's arms, jumps over turnbuckle, sending opponent flying to the outside
Sniper: top-rope legdrop, often springboard
Painplex: Full-nelson into a German suplex
Straightjacket suplex: German suplex, except he has the opponent's hands crossed in front to immobilize, and increase pressure on the trapezius muscles
Masonic Temple: locks opponent in apparent reverse DDT, but instead swings them over by the head and neck, dropping them and smashing the face and chest into the mat
Electric Chair suplex: suplex where opponent is on his shoulders, standing, and he drops backwards, landing them on their back. A reverse ECS drops the opponent forward, and when the opponent is facing in the reverse of Hoya, it's de-facto a Hoya-Bomb
Breakdown: spin-kick coming up off the mat spinning on his back (a la Booker T, but including a kick in it)
Spiritual Exercise: Hoya locks on a full-nelson, then rolls over, holding that for a moment, then dropping in a Tomokaze variant
FINISHERS
3624: DDT off the top turnbuckle or top rope, starting with a jump a la Test or Randy Savage. Please note, this is NOT a Tornado DDT. In a Tornado, the two wrestlers are locked up before the move is executed; whereas in a 3624, Hoya jumps, then connects in mid-air, to use maximum momentum to destroy the opponent. Can be used against an opponent in mid-air or a stationary opponent
Manic Compression: Sharpshooter variant where, instead of turning the body, the legs of the opponent are smashed into the chest area, tilting the back for a pin. The degree of angle on the pin can be determined by the size of the opponent or whether or not Hoya is looking for a submission or a pinfall (submission, more tilt, where the pressure is on the neck, not the shoulders)
HISTORY: Taken from The Pro Wrestling Torch, 29 August 2000. Profile by Bruce Mitchell, senior writer.
"...Hoyakillah is sometimes known as the Ric Flair or the Shawn Michaels of the Efed world. Dominant in the ring, able to wow with his moves, yet like Flair and Michaels, petulant and political in the back. Never has this been seen more than currently with his run in EWA.
Hoya was a relative unknown in his LWN debut, much like Shawn Michaels -- unpolished. That changed as he linked up with old friend Tony Bartlett (then known as Rebel Yell) to start the Southern Gentlemen. This also highlighted Hoya's first time working backstage manipulation. He also developed a relationship at the time with Kallista Silverhair which has haunted the two, and the Efed world, ever since.
As he moved to the top in LWN, he became a major force on the "Executive Committee", which made all the major booking decisions for the fed. After the disastrous LWN Brawl For It All (see PWT 15.10.99 -- "LWN Goes For Home Run, Strikes Out") he became the primary backstage power, and has been blamed for much of the angle-related stagnation that plagued LWN at the time. One cannot forget that talent losses can also be blamed for this..
Hoya stepped down from the Executive Committee in February 2000, just as he won his first World Title, only to lose it to Healius the next night, turning face in the process. He would remain a face for the rest of his LWN tenure, until the fed's collapse. It was also at this time that he started working with Kayfabe and current EWA president Evolution, both of whom have blamed Hoya for "keeping them down," in a situation similar to Billy Kidman when he feuded with Hulk Hogan in WCW recently.
Hoya went on a European sabbatical for six weeks over the summer, and made his triumphal entrance to EWA in August. However, this entrance was fraught with problems, in that not only did the fans not react to him as he felt they should, but also Kayfabe and Evolution harangued him about the past.
After Assault and Battery, where he lost to Dude Hate, Hoya snapped. On Massive, he went on a "massive" rant (see my editorial, "Hoyakillah -- Work Or Shoot?"), turning himself completely, totally heel. The emergence of Falstaff to be Tony Bartlett, as well as the entry of D. Nonz Arelli into EWA, haven't helped either.
Hoya has been displaying signs of irrational behavior in and out of the wrestling ring. He has seduced EWA Commissioner Clockwatcher, he has recruited Hexane to work with him, there have been allegations of drug use thrown around, and that's just the cusp. In other words, Hoya is more dangerous than he ever has been. We can only watch and see what happens..."
RECENT UPDATE: Hoya had been knocked into a coma in a match against Kayfabe on Massive in October. He was on the sidelines up through the Massive airing 17 January 2001, where he made his in-ring return against EWA World Champion Myst. Before, he had returned at EWA Love and Warfare in a more limited role, with a brief in-ring appearance during the Trench Warfare Rumble. Hoya spent some time in a now-infamous stint in EFWO, first as a masked man named "Virus," then as himself, in order to rehab the injury sustained in the HIAC match. This, of course, led to the entry of X-Dude into the MDF, something that has seen mixed reviews so far. He has recently admitted to kicking drugs, although he is known to still drink and smoke. In addition, there have been tensions within the Faction, as Hoya has authorized the severing of dealings with the OutKasts - a deal made by Hexane during his tenure as head of the Faction, as well as bringing in Amarantha and Kayfabe into the MDF. However, Hoya poses more of a threat than ever, with his mind restored to its full power, and his body fully rehabbed from injury.
Came out of retirement for one night only, to go one on one against The Hardcore Icon, Dave Dudley for the title of "The Most Dangerous Man in Wrestling".
Dudley won.
