Weight: 210 lbs.
Birthdate: 12/17/1993
Birth Place: San Francisco, California
Current Residence: “Off the Grid”
Physical Description: Looks like Pac. Wrestles in black combat boots and black cargo pants with a ton of patches sewn onto it depicting several social media brands and notable tech company logos behind the circle-backslash symbol. Also wears a black leather vest with his symbol on the back: the circle-backslash symbol with a wi-fi symbol behind the backslash and the words “DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT” written within the circle when he's not wrestling.
WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: Technical/Brawler/Cheater, with offense primarily targeting the head and neck
Alignment (Face/Tweener/Heel): Tweener w/ Major Heel Leanings (Dexter believes himself to be a face, and in his mind, the only reason no one treats him as such is because they're so brainwashed by social media that they're “programmed” to hate him for daring to stand against its existence. In reality, while there are some who may cheer for him and support his message, most will boo him not just because of his vitriol towards social media and the advancement of technology, but also because he has all the aggressive, underhanded hallmarks of a true heel, willing to bend the rules and go to any lengths necessary to spread his message.)
Years Pro: 1
Theme Song: “TokSik” by Starset
Finishers: Disconnect to Reconnect, Detox Drop
Finishers Descriptions (If Needed): Omoplata Crossface, Impaler DDT
Signature Moves: Unplugged, Unwanted Notification, Clickbait, Doomscrolling, Logout Lock
Signature Moves Descriptions (If Needed): Cobra Clutch Slam, Aleister Black's Black Mass, Andrade's Feint Front Kick into Discus Back Elbow, Swinging Side Slam, Bridging Cobra Clutch
Common Moves:
Clothesline
Punches
Stomps
Top Rope Elbow Drop
Running Knee Strike
Sleeper Hold
Front Missile Dropkick
Jumping Knee Drop
Guillotine Choke
Double wrist-clutch to a grounded opponent followed by multiple stomps to the opponent's chest, face, and head
Eye Poke/Rake/Gouging
Draping an opponent's throat over the second rope before kneeling across their back, choking them against the rope while he berates them for being a “slave to the social media machine”
Camel Clutch
Dragon Suplex
Tiger Suplex
Strengths:
-Very aggressive, treats every match as though it's personal which can catch opponents off guard and keep them on the back foot
-Great mic skills
-Is far more intelligent than many give him credit for. Not only does he know how to weaponize his aggression to pick somebody apart, but mind games and manipulation don't work on him because unless you're willing to go out of your way to prove you believe in his cause, he's not interested in a word you have to say.
-While he may not be much of a wrestler or fighter in any sense of the word, Wendell can still get involved on Dexter's behalf and help him when the referee's none the wiser
Weaknesses:
-Can get too aggressive for his own good and get DQ'd
-Loner. He only cares about the message he's trying to spread, so if you don't believe in that message and the dangers of technology and social media overuse, you're an enemy to him. Because of this, odds are pretty good he won't have many (if any) allies in the locker room, and he's even willing to sabotage himself if forced to team with someone just because in his mind, his cause is always more important than winning or championship gold and he can always get his message across through violence.
-Is still fairly new to the wrestling business despite the potential he's shown, so more experienced wrestlers can easily get the upper hand on him once they overcome how aggressive he is
Entrance:
“TokSik” by Starset hits as the lights in the arena immediately go out, a series of green spotlights converging onto the stage where fog has begun to consume it. The big screen show's a human eye opening, and reflecting in it is a montage of people glued to their phones and computers, either consuming or producing social media garbage as they all look sickly while doing so. “The Digital Detoxer” Dexter Grant marches out through the fog, stopping at the edge of the stage and staring out at the fans with disgust. A few cheers can be heard, but they're easily drowned out by all the boos raining down upon him. He turns his head to his right just in time to see his faithful flunky Wendell march out behind him, proudly holding up a protest sign that has the circle-backslash symbol with a wi-fi symbol behind the backslash and the words “DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT” written within the circle. Wendell eagerly looks up at Dexter, who smiles and nods in approval before he starts storming down to the ring, his disgusted look returning at the sound of all the people around him who just refuse to listen to his message. He jumps up onto the apron and aggressively steps through the ropes, marching to the center of the ring and turning his back to the hard cam as he points his thumb to the same “DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT” logo of his on the back of his vest. Wendell crawls into the ring and stands beside Dexter, proudly holding up his sign before looking legitimately confused as to why they're being booed. The lights return to normal as Dexter starts to pace around the ring.
(One constant with Dexter is that almost immediately after his music dies down, Wendell will retrieve a mic for him and he'll attempt to cut a pre-match promo where he runs down the fans and his opponent, framing it as a “soapbox speech” where he'll rant about the “cancer that is social media” and try to convince people to unplug themselves from their devices and embrace the real world again instead of doomscrolling their lives away on social media. Keyword: attempt, because it's a virtual guarantee that once Dexter gets a few words into what he has to say, he'll be cut off. If he's the first person to enter, or at least not the last in multi-person matches, he'll usually be cut off by his opponent's theme song hitting, to his irritation. If he's the last person to enter, then as soon as he starts getting intense about trying to use his opponent(s) as an example of being “cogs in the social media machine,” he'll almost always either sneak attack or be attacked in retaliation, jumpstarting the match.)
Biography:
Not much is really known these days about Dexter Grant, and he prefers it that way. What is known is that he was born in San Francisco, California on December 17, 1993 and had a seemingly normal life, even attending college and graduating with his bachelor's degree, though what he majored in seems to have been one of those details lost to time. At some point during the late 2010s, Dexter suddenly went off the grid, vanishing without a trace and trying to erase as much of his existence from the world as he could. The last any of his friends or family can recall is that he developed a deep-seated hatred for social media and the advancement of technology as a whole, claiming he saw “the truth” about how much it was poisoning humanity and would ultimately be the downfall of our species. Dexter wouldn't resurface in the public eye until America was slowly starting to open up again through the COVID-19 pandemic, where he had become a disheveled man literally making soapbox speeches on the streets preaching that the human race had to “disconnect to reconnect.” Naturally, no one paid him any mind and wrote off his preaching as the ravings of a madman, which led to Dexter seeking a bigger platform to spread his message. That platform ended up being wrestling, which was also starting to develop a major social media presence at this point, making it the perfect place for Dexter to both spread his message and unleash his pent-up aggression on the people who embody everything he despises. He was impressive enough to end up on SCW's radar, which has now opened the door for the Digital Detoxer to have his biggest platform possible to hopefully spread his message while there's still a human race left to save.
