WRESTLER’S MOVE-SET
COMMON MOVES (10 MIN):
1. Suplexes - Graham Baker's suplexes are the most dangerous part of his arsenal, but they're not as refined as they used to be. Baker's been inclined to give up form for function, so he'll usually hit a German or a Snapped Suplex or a Dragon Suplex to spike an opponent on their head and set them up for something else. Real head-droppy brutal shit, y'know?
2. Kicks - Baker utilizes his legs and speed to do major damage to an opponent, especially when combined with his lariats and other arm-based offense. Roundhouse, hook, switchblade, back-heel, superkicks, and dropkicks fill out his arsenal, with other variations coming to use as they're applicable. Baker often combines kicks to set opponents up for his devastating Half Life Bomber lariat.
3. Knee Strikes - Much like his legs, Baker's knees also provide some crippling offense. Whether drilling an opponent with a bicycle or single leg knee strike, or driving his knee into an opponent's skull repeatedly, Baker likes to keep variety with how he manhandles the people he finds himself in the ring with. His knee strikes are the crux of his snap-offense, and often his go-to counters when nothing else seems to be working.
4. Arm-based offense - Elbows, forearms, lariats, punches, chops, slaps, the whole nine and then some. Baker's got some tree-trunk ass arms and he's not afraid to use them to welt the shit out of any opponent unfortunate enough to come across him in the Squared Circle. Most often, he'll use combinations of chops, slaps, and strikes to soften an opponent up for one of his killing blows.
5. Short-range stiff strikes - If an opponent finds themselves too close for comfort, or Baker finds himself in an uncomfortable situation, he'll often respond with barrages of stiff strikes such as headbutts, forearms, punches, slaps, and kicks. These barrages are usually combinations of his other offense, but to greater effect. Often, he'll end a sequence with a headbutt or a particularly gunshot-like chop to take an opponent down for good.
6. Powerbomb Variants - Much like with the suplexes, Baker will hit a good variety of powerbombs, but it's not much for the looking. Unless going for a specific move to piss someone off or to set up for a specific maneuver, Baker will scoop an opponent up and just drop them with a nasty powerbomb.
7. Slams and Power Moves - Baker is a fan of powerslams and using his weight against his opponent. Usually done when an opponent is caught out, Baker will slam them into the fucking canvas with zero hesitancy.
8. Piledriver Variants - Although no longer a part of his finishing moveset, Baker's no stranger to the piledriver and will break it out frequently to spike opponents to soften them up for bigger killing blows.
9. From On High - While no longer a frequenter of the top rope, Baker knows how to counter those who do go high, and will often use that to his advantage to deliver devastating Avalanche variations of his common maneuvers.
10. When All Else Fails - Baker's not opposed to desperation tactics, so if an opponent is proving especially difficult to put down, or Baker feels that victory is slipping away, he'll utilize a low blow and a roll-up to put an opponent away for good.
2. Kicks - Baker utilizes his legs and speed to do major damage to an opponent, especially when combined with his lariats and other arm-based offense. Roundhouse, hook, switchblade, back-heel, superkicks, and dropkicks fill out his arsenal, with other variations coming to use as they're applicable. Baker often combines kicks to set opponents up for his devastating Half Life Bomber lariat.

3. Insurance Policy - Torture Rack rolled into an STF.
4. Desperation Finisher - Hand Of God - Discus Haymaker which Baker puts all of his energy behind. If he hits it, it's lights for his opponent. If not, then he's probably lost the match. Will only break this out in the most desperate of circumstances.
