WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style:
While some of David's wrestling style is similar to that of his older brother Jacob's in that he wrestles a very technical style based in European Catch wrestling, that is where the comparisons end as David usually wrestles a much more smash mouth style, preferring to throw himself as hard as possible at his opponents without a care in the world. A real world equivalent would be Karrion Kross mixed with Hallowicked and KENTA.

Accomplishments:

Strengths:
1. High-pain threshold: Just like his older brother, Jacob Striker, David has an incredible threshold for pain and while he does not ignore it like his brother does, David instead uses the pain to get more and more focused until eventually he hits that threshold.

2. Innovative offense: Another aspect that David shares with his older brother is that he is very innovative in offense as he is able to chain moves together that normally wouldn't make much sense in a match but in the end turns out to be a lot more effective than anything. One thing that he's proven to be very innovative at throwing together on the fly are submission holds (much like Zach Sabre JR IRL) as he will make his body shift to apply variations of holds that will elict the more torque out of a submission hold.

Weaknesses:

1. "His brother's shadow": David is the younger brother of Jacob Striker and as such, sometimes he catches shit from people who have issues with Jacob as they automatically assume that he's just like his brother...don't you just "love" family?

2. "Limits...what's that?": There is a misconception that David "loves to push the ref's limits during a match" when in fact he really doesn't, but in order to get the most damage done to an opponent during a match, he will do everything in his power to drag out those moments where he causes the ref to start counting to break a hold, which he'll do, and then turn right back around and reestablish the hold without a moment's hesitation. He'll do this throughout a match to see how much more extra harm he can pull on an opponent.

3. "He has the fury of The King": David doesn't get angry, David gets colder...more *violent*, his strikes become more and more stiffer as the match moves on to the point when he chops you, you're getting every single ounce of that inner rage unleashed on you. The best IRL example of this is Eddie Kingston.

Biography:
David Striker is the younger brother of the "Devil's Favorite Dirty" in Jacob Striker (of One Wrestle Movement & World Wrestling Headquarters fame) and is reported to be a second generation wrestler-but prefers to keep the name of his parent(s) quiet so that to have people focus on him and his own career rather than have him be recognized for anything else...

...too bad he is Jake Striker's kid brother and people love to shit on him for that.

Originally debuting for Gamma Pro Wrestling as "Kyle Valentine" and getting his feet wet across a couple of promotions, he eventually found himself forming a tag team with the "Elegant Assassin" DJ Hunter as the Phantom Troupe in Project Honor where the duo won the company's world tag team titles in short order before the promotion closed due to "questionable actions" on behalf of the VP and a quarter of the staff.

After the closure of Project Honor, David went back to the drawing board where he burned the identity of "Kyle Valentine" and went back to being David Striker.
