Christian Parkes

Christian Parkes is a businessman, actor, former American football player and e-wrestler, who currently performs for Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) on its Pyromania brand. Parkes debuted at Pyromania 19.1, attacking the injured Matt Clark backstage.

Early life
Parkes is hailed as a five star athlete noted for his big potential and even bigger attitude complex, and agent Paul Hammond is the most recent man willing to take him on in an attempt to cash in on the prospect.

Debut, rookie months and feud with Dick Dynamo
Parkes was signed during September 2011, alongside his agent manager. He debut backstage at Pyromania 19.1, attacking the injured Prophecy of Violence member Matt Clark with a steel pipe. In his debut match at Vertigo 3.2, he competed against 7 Pyromania wrestlers, including Tromboner Man, in a match for TBM's LPW International Heavyweight Championship. Parkes was last to be eliminated, after Cripsy and TBM landed on top of him for the win.

He was then put in a match with fellow rookie Kaiser Teiwaz (which previously included Seth Omega until he was banned from the arena) at Vertigo 3.3, where he defeated him after hitting The Messenger, with help from Hammond. Parkes was scheduled to compete in Damion Kross' Redemption match at All-Stars, but suffered a minor shoulder injury at a house show in Turkey, which prevented him from competing. He did, however, attend the event, as he interuptted an interview by cutting off the camera from the A/V room, and playing an anti-Dynamo campaign advertisement, promoting his crusade "We Hate Dick Dynamo".

At Redemption, parkes competed against 30 other Pyromania and Insanity wrestlers in the Redemption Rumble, with the winner facing the LPW International Heavyweight Championship at Blistering Inferno. Parkes entered at number #, and immediatly eliminated Dynamo. As furious Dynamo re-entered the match and eliminated Parkes, before hitting a Dragon Meteor Press to the outside, right before the break buzzer.

Parkes was awarded a LPW Pure Wrestling Championship match against champion Daniel Purser at Pyromania 20.1. Towards the end of his match, Dynamo made a distraction, letting Purser pick up the win. Backstage after the television debut loss, fill-in backstage announcer DeSean J. Connery approached Parkes for his thoughts on his loss. Parkes claimed that losing was "all part of his plan", before debuting his own peak achievement, the Immortal's Cup, his own equivalent to the Martinez Cup. Later in the show, he interfered in Dynamo's LPW Western States Heritage Championship match against Styxx, striking him with the cup behind the referee's back. Before any more damage could be made, Damion Kross, on behalf of the new Pyromania General Manager (revealed to be cYnical) ordered a "no contact" rule, where neither men could not make physical contact between Pyromania 20.1 and LPW Blistering Inferno, where the two will compete against eachother. If either failed to obey the rule, both would be suspended indefinitely.

cYnical, in a memo to all Pyromania competitors, announced that both Dynamo and Parkes would compete in a set of Pick Your Poison matches, with Dynamo choosing for LPW Western States Heritage Champion Styxx, and Parkes choosing the captain of Pyromania's lower card team Mr. Golden. Parkes narrowly lost to Styxx after he escaped The Key to Immortality and hit the Terror Cutter. Parkes' night was not over, however, as, after Golden defeated Dynamo, was announced as one of Golden's team members for Altered Reality 6. As Parkes entered the ring to brag in front of a broken Dynamo, Golden refused to do so, and lectured Parkes, before leaving the ring.

Dynamo and Parkes were put in a tag team match against Altered State's Ozzy Crerar and Paul Brooks, with 1 point onthe Altered Reality 6 Scoreboard on the line. Before the match, Hammond annouced the Parkes would defend his Immortal's Cup against all 3 men in the match. Towards the end of the match, Dynamo hit a springboard moonsault and went for the cover, but Parkes was still the legal man, letting him pick up the pinfall, and, in the process, retain his Immortal's Cup and earn a point for Pyomania. Before Speaker could announce the win, Dynamo grabbed the mic and told Parkes to "kiss his ass".

After the match, Parkes, Jammond, and Jay celebrated backstage, but were interrupted by Dynamo, who confronted Parkes. Before long, Mr. Golden entered the room, and suggested and confirmed that Parkes and Dynamo's match.

Alliance with Mr. Golden
At Blistering Inferno, Parkes and Dynamo finally met in the ring. After back and forth action, Dynamo hit the Deal With It and the Dragon Meteor Press before covering for the win. Before celebration could occur, Parkes' alliance with Mr. Golden first became known, as he blindsided Dynamo as the bell rang. Parkes and Golden began to beat him down, before Hammond suggested the ass-kissing go the other way. Before Dynamo could kiss, or be forced to kiss Parkes' ass, Dynamo's accomplice in The Mighty Dyno Might made the save, before the two hit their finisher on all 3 men.

At Altered Reality 6, Parkes, along with team captain Mr. Golden, Zenith, The Mighty Dyno Might, and Dick Dynamo, will represent Pyromania against Insanity, represented by captain Damien Blaze, Daientine, Ozzy Crerar, Pope Fred, and Phantom Lord.

 * Will
 * Use his moveset strategically. His mixed martial arts background has given him the technical advantage, and will use there more technical moves, such as various suplexes, and big hit moves, such as a knee strikes and enziguris, to weaken in the opponent.
 * Commentate, compare, and contrast himself and whomever he's feuding with.
 * Be cowardly. If there’s a way out, he’ll do it. He would not intentionally get himself counted-out or intentionally disqualified, unless he will benefit from it. He will often use Hammond as a distraction during matches.
 * Be cocky when he has a considerable advantage. Taunting his opponent and various front-row attendance is a certainty.
 * Use rest holds to slow the match down to a banging, bashing pace.
 * Use weapons creatively. When using larger weapons, such as ladders and tables, he will use them in ways that will hurt him the least.
 * Use his money, fame and intelligence to fuel his ego. When around other wrestlers, he will be arrogant, using his intellect to put them down. When around female wrestlers and employees, he will reference his worldwide fame, and the expensive objects that he has, mixed in with intelligent pick-up lines.
 * Wear a suit at every opportunity. The hours leading up before a match, he will wear his suit, no matter what the situation is. Very shortly before he is due to compete, he will change into his custom ring gear.


 * Won't
 * Cheat blatantly. Although he is one of the more muscular and athletic members of the roster, he would rather outsmart his opponent than take them on directly.
 * Swear on purpose. If and when he does, he uses his sizeable vocabulary to cover up his profanity.

 * Entrance
 * Gold pyro rains down from above as white strobe lights pulsate to Lil Wayne’s rhymes. Parkes gradually makes his entrance, with a white towel resting over his right shoulder. A suited Hammond follows him on the opposite side of the ramp, Parkes attempts to shake hands with the people in the crowd, with various propaganda material spilling from his mouth. As he reaches the ring apron, he walks up the steel steps and alongside the ropes, as Hammond lowers the middle rope for his client to access.
