Character Name:
Chris "Ravenna" Santiago (Formerly known as "Chris Eno")
Nickname:
“Tiradores”, "Leon Guerrero ng Laguna", "Guardia Negra"
Hometown:
Calamba City, Laguna, Philippines
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 210 lbs.
Alignment: Tweener
In-Ring Style:
Strong Style Wrestling
Chris currently fights with Strong Style Wrestling incorporated with stiff and precise strikes, calculated submissions and good ground game. It was enhanced due to his Yaw-Yan Kickboxing and MMA Background. His kickboxing background gave an ability to chain some of his strikes. Chris fought with a cold heart, so respect is out of the picture for him. He showed no remorse even if he injured his opponent.
He is fierce and focused on facing his adversaries. He plays by the rules but no respect towards his opponent. He even spits at them and curses in Tagalog language. Sometimes when he is hurt by some shoot kicks or chops from his opponent, he slips out some of Tagalog profanity. If his opponent pisses him off, he has no hesitation to destroy him.
Resemblance: Minoru Suzuki
Bio:
In his beginnings, he spent his time training under the supervision of Axel Simmons. It was on March 22, 2014, where he made his wrestling debut in Xyst Wrestling Federation by the persona “Corrupt”. It spanned up to Galactic Wrestling Alliance on January 6, 2015, where he won his first championship, GWA Nova Championship (an equivalent to Hardcore Championship).
His persona changed on April 27, 2015, when he signed to Madness Wrestling Alliance. He transformed himself from “Corrupt” into “Ravenous”. He was an amalgam of a wrestling and mannequin dolls. During his time, he formed an alliance with Serena and Fione as the House of Serena. The unstable group roamed across the wrestling landscape from the U.S.A. to Japan to Mexico to Germany. He was privileged to win his second championship, CEW World Heavyweight Championship in Caged Evolution Wrestling.
His persona lasted when he went to a downward spiral and killed off his character on August 1. 2016. He soon found his soulmate in Japan, Sakuya Shizuka. They married on March 15, 2017, and since then they lived in normal life.
That is until he longed for competition once more. So he returned his training at the Household Dungeon for his returning debut on October 21, 2018, in Action Wrestling. Soon, he became the rising star known for his performance in ECWF's 30 Men Battle Royal and other matches at MAX-Japan where he became the MAX-Japan Junior Heavyweight Champion. He became an MMA fighter where he debuted on March 2, 2019. Now his momentum continues to build up slowly in the wrestling scene.
Attire:
His attire was inspired by the Philippine Revolutionary Army. It consisted of slightly fitted Rayadillo-inspired trousers with black wrestling boots and black belt. For his entrance, he wears an unbuttoned Rayadillo coat with patches of two of his previous insignias (of both Fione and Sakuya). His primary insignia was at the back in the shape of a flag-inspired from early banners of Philippine Revolution.
Theme song:

Entrance:
The sound of rondalla guitars tunes in for the intro followed with synth background. It halts and summons the beat of the drums signals the electric guitar riffs building to the main riff. The main riff consists of a woman chanting accompanied by bass riffs and drum beats. Once it was over, the guitar strung with their verse riffs. The vocalist began to sing the lyrics above of "Laguna" popularize by Sampaguita. Ravenna comes out from the entrance apron with his Rayadillo-inspired attire holding his personal flag on his back. He turns about face showing the insignia of his banner.
Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring from Calamba City, Laguna, Philippines, weigh in at 210 lbs. He is Chris “Ravenna” Santiago!
He flips it back like it was his cape and marches to the ring. While he was walking to the ramp, he glanced straight to the ring reminded him to be brave and focus. He saunters around the ring for the crowd to touch the fringes of the flag. He stops on the rear side facing the entrance. He quits carrying the flag on his back to climb himself to the apron. He waits for the signal (the chorus) while he's pointing his sole finger upward. He climbs at the turnbuckle holding both upper sides of his banner and spreads it wide sinking in the energy from the crowd. He then flips it over and folds it back to smaller size. He goes down to the mat on his feet taking off his jacket and flag. He does some stretches to prepare himself for the match.
In-Ring Strengths:
1. Aggressive Striker
Ravenna is both offensive and counter Striker. He learned some of open-handed, fist and elbow strikes, while he improved some of his kicks. His learned skills such as Eskrima and Kali, trained himself to be aggressive. “The best offense is the best defense,” one grandmaster would say.
2. Precision and Stiffness
Ravenna’s devotion to discipline made his movements stiff and precise. Precise strikes made his attack accurate, while stiffness made it powerful.
3. Sheer Determination
Ravenna’s Filipino heritage runs into his blood to never give up. This and his conditioning to discipline made himself resilient to enemies’ strikes when he’s about to go down
4. Improved Ground Work
Ravenna vs Knight match marked the start of his ground work. After the Shooter Ball tournament, Ravenna focused on the ground game as a response to the low takedowns. He’ll reverse some of his opponent’s submission into his own.
In-Ring Weaknesses:
1. Anticipation / Slow Initiative
While Ravenna was stiff, precise and aggressive, sometimes he was prone to surprises like flashy kicks and punches despite that he was a learning tactician.
2. Weak against Low Takedowns
Ravenna’s lack of grappling made him weak against takedowns. Along with slow initiative, he can’t counter with opponent’s takedown move easily.
3. Recklessness
His aggressiveness comes with recklessness. His mindset of pure offensive didn’t bring attention to his defense like his disadvantage against low takedowns and prone to flashy strikes.
4. Lack of Grappling Throws
Ravenna has no problem with executing takedowns. But when it comes to throwing maneuver, he had a hard time to lift his adversary heavier than him.
