Nickname: "Hippo" Harry Diderot
Hometown: Atlanta, GA; A-Town
Height: 6' 7"
Weight: 325 lbs.
Length: 14"
Alignment: Baby Face
In-Ring Style: Powerhouse and Brawler
Bio: Harry Diderot retired in 2019, but in his time away from Action Wrestling, he had time to improve his community through initiatives to rebuild infrastructure designed towards helping the people that brought him up to the level of AW in the past. Time might have forgotten, but he once pointed out how left UCI TV Champion and held that belt with pride until losing a barnburner to then new face to Clash in Claire Hawkins. After losing the TV Title towards a unification and undersold retirement tour, Harry left with a sour taste in his mouth. Desire at a comeback inked a temporary deal but an in-match injury threatened him with spinal stenosis.
Sidelined, hurt and ruined as an athlete, he never, however, let resentment ruin his life outside of the ring. While he helped kids get into the game through the local gyms and shows, The Hippo was not the sort to admit defeat. He worked to get back into fighting weight - tribulations including two fusion surgeries - only to have tragedy grip the house of Diderot due to Corona: First the patriarch passing at the tender age of 83, but the killer was when the same disease took Richie Diderot mere months later. Richie told him in death that he wanted to see Hippo return... so now he laces those boots and grips a tight fist ready to fight for his people, the Culture and his tarnished legacy.
Attire: Entrance Gear: Various Atlanta teams’ jerseys with #00 on the back; chains and Gucci shades
Ring gear: Camo jeans, taped hands and wrists, black elbow pads
Theme song: “Hard In Da Paint” – Wakka Flokka Flame
Pic Base: JYD
Entrance: Purple lights flash at the ring with a thick spotlight. Fans get to their feet as “Hard In Da Paint" begins to play. Moments later, enveloped in the flashing lights, and sporting an Atlanta Hawks jersey and glittering chains appears The Hippo at the entrance ramp holding a power fist high.
Adeline Floyd: Hailing from Atlanta GA … weighing in at 325 pounds … “Hippo” Harry Diderot!
Harry plays to the fans with a big grin on his face. As he passes the first corner barricade, Harry tosses his Hippo Harry branded hat into the audience before logrolling under the ropes. Hippo takes to the far turnbuckle and gives the people a raised fist. Harry then marches across the ring for a second power fist on the turnbuckle before taking his corner to prepare for the match.
Favorite moves (at least 15 moves): Strikes: Snap jabs, haymakers, running front dropkick
Big Man: choke toss, 2nd rope elbow drop, running leg drop
Power: Oklahoma slam, gorilla press slam, superplex, Samoan drop, back body drop
WTF: sunset flip, running head scissors, gator roll, corner cannonball, leaping crossbody plancha outside
Signature move(s): “Jack Slap” - Harry counters a strike and gives them the “no no” finger wag before slapping the taste out of the opponent’s mouth
“Peachtree” – stretch muffler
“Half-Chicken Suplex” – Chicken-wing gordbuster with theatrics (in honor of Richie)
Finisher(s): A-Town Bomb – Pop-up powerbomb (can pin) / (for a big finish he does a 360)
“Samuel L Jack-up” – Jackhammer (backup finisher)
Manager (optional): nope
