Tag Team Name:
Affirmative Action.
Members:
JaMarcus Avery (Bobby Lashley) & TD Batterson (Shane Taylor)
Advocate: Donovan Cunningham (MVP)
Alignment:
Heel
Gimmick:
Christy Hightower woke up with a vision. She looked at the potential of her friend JaMarcus Avery and Ian McKinnon’s friend TD Batterson, saw those two would make killing at a Hoss team in pro wrestling. Due to the current climate she didn’t feel she should be the one out in front advocating for them. Enter Donovan Cunningham. A former GM and a successful manager in his own right. Him and Christy (along with Ian) have formed a “Conglomerate” of sorts. Who says blacks and whites can’t come together. An all black tag team, managed by a black man, in partnership with a white woman and a white man. Unity at its finest.
Entrance Music:
"King Nothing" by Metallica
Entrance Description:
"King Nothing" by Metallica echos from the louder speaker. The lights go out. When the lights come back on Donovan Cunningham appears on the stage. Not too long after JaMarcus Avery and TD Batterson walk out to join him. All three of them raise one fist into the air. Then they march down to the ring with purpose. They reach the ring. Donovan gets on the apron. JaMarcus slides underneath the bottom rope. While all this is going on TD walks up the ring step. Donovan holds the rope open for TD to enter the ring. They join JaMarcus in the center of the ring. Once again all three raise their fist in the air. Donnie gives TD and JaMarcus a small pep talk. He exits the ring to the outside as TD and JaMarcus wait for the match to start.
Primary Tag Team Finishers:
WELCOME TO HOSS CITY... BITCH
Description:
Avery performs a pumphandle slam followed by a diving top rope splash by TD Batterson.
Signature Tag Team Moves:
1965: Spinning sidewalk slam (Avery) / running big boot (TD) combination
** 1965 is the year Malcolm X died.
Unity: JaMarcus hits a high impact corner body splash and keeps the opponent cornered while TD Batterson splashes his back, crushing the opponent with the impact of both of their weights
Short Biography:
JaMarcus is a multi year veteran of the sport having stints in IWC and GCW. TD became a professional wrestler late last year. The lone interaction they shared was at GCW Resurrection when TD put JaMarcus through the announce table. One would think this would lead to an all out war between the two. Their contracts expired. Their respective tag team partners (Christy Hightower and Ian McKinnon) initially wanted to being The Odyssey and Prestige to EMERGE to find success. Christy had the keen business sense to understand a TD and JaMarcus could make a killing. Bringing Donovan Cunningham onboard, a “Conglomerate” of Christy, Ian and Donovan was formed. Under Donovan’s stewardship, the Emerge tag team division and professional wrestling is in store for some Affirmative Action.
