Neutral

Appearance/attire:
He has decent muscle tone. Not Batista style or anything, but not a slob either. He has two piercings; one in his left eyebrow with a spike, and the right side of his lower lip with a hoop. CD's left arm is a full sleeve of tattoos, featuring skulls, spider webs, pumpkins, Jack Skellington, monsters like vampires, werewolves, zombies and most things Halloween. The only colors used are black/gray, red and orange. On his right arm he has the black tribal Slipknot "S" on the underside of his forearm, between his wrist and inner elbow. On his back, he has black wing type tattoos, as well. A new tattoo is that of tribal markings on his upper chest, going over both his shoulders and onto his back, to the wings. CD has a scar of a row horizontal lines on the right side of his body on his ribcage from a weed whacker.

His face paint is different, too. It's all dull whiteish gray, black around the eyes that fades out to darker gray with a darker flame like design above each eye, and gray along the sides of his face, along with the ususal four black lines over the mouth.. Looking more and more like a corpse. His beard has grown out, as well. It's a long dark brown/black goatee, about two fists long. The color of his hair is now a more natural dark brown/black as well. A change of pace, he is wearing short tights (not underwear short, but boxers short). White ones with black trim, and a black "XIII" on the left leg, black "13" on the right.

Black shorts style trunks, with a white silhouette of a man with a gun to his head, and red blood coming from the other side. Black boots with red designs, black knee pads that connect to the boots, black and white wrist bands, black elbow pads. It's a new look.

Comic book tights and boots as seen.

Entrance (Specify music):
The lights in the venue suddenly cut to black as the familiar opening to "For Whom the Bell Tolls" plays. The crowd is jacked up and gets louder after every toll. After six tolls, there is silence. A solitary light hits the stage. Out from the back walk six men. These are big dudes, too. Vikings to be exact. Three stand on each side of the entrance. They're all carrying shields and swords, long hair, beards, legit looking vikings. "Locust" by Machine Head hits the PA system and the place explodes into cheers. The lights flash to the music as it chugs along. As soon as the lyrics kick in, Corey Black emerges from the back.

Style:
Possibly the most well rounded wrestler on the WCF roster. CD does it all. At the day's end, he'll rely on his high flying and striking (long stays in Japan) styles the most, but he's well known as a fantastic technician (training with Rick Mad) and hardcore wrestler as well. Not afraid of anything at all, no risk nor object nor man will hinder CD.

Trademark move and description:

"Life to Lifeless" - CD lifts the opponent up in a suplex, and lays them across the top rope, so that they lay parallel to the mat. CD pulls them out far enough so that their legs are on the ropes. From here, CD leaps up, clutches them behind the head and places both knees in their face, falling onto his back in a Face Blower/Code Breaker. This sends the opponent recoiling back, and falling off to a side.

"Harley Quinn's Smile" - CD gets behind the opponent and places his index fingers in their mouth, pulling on the corners. CD then leaps up and places a foot on the back of the opponent's head. CD falls onto his back and straightens his leg, effectively ripping his fingers out of the mouth of his opponent in a most violent fashion.

"Your Plague" - (usually used against opponents he cannot lift) CD takes the opponent and applies a front face lock. He then front flips over the opponent in a move resembling a Northern Lights Suplex by his opponent, but instead CD delvers a front flip DDT. Depending on the momentum he got while jumping, the opponent will either spike ridiculously awkward or backflip over and get dominated.

Any combination of a triangle hold. A leg scissor around both the opponent's head and an arm. From the front, the back, the side, or elevated, CD employs various means to get to the ultimate goal of submission.

Finisher and description:
(Just to get the point across, these moves are possible match enders, and serve as a desperation turning point in the match if needed; Brainbuster, Fisherman Brainbuster, Backdrop Driver, Spinning Lariat, Reverse Rana, Frog Splash, DVD, Van Daminator/Terminator, Kudome Valentine (Vertebreaker), 450 Splash, Phoenix Splash)

"Mjolnir's Wrath" - Creeping Death lifts the opponent up onto his shoulders into a Death Valley Driver, and spins them out in a TKO. Instead of falling backward and hitting the cutter, however, CD clutches their head in the Cutter but dives forward onto his stomach. This causes the opponent to be driven into the mat on their forehead/face like a javelin. The technical term is a Snapmare Driver, but spun out like a TKO.

- "Mjolnir's Wrath Beta" - A variation on the original move, CD lifts the opponent in a suplex, spins them in a Falcon Arrow, but instead of sitting out, CD shifts his arms to grab the opponent in a Diamond Cutter, before diving forward and driving them head first into the mat.

"(The) Ten Ton Hammer" - CD bends the opponent over and pumphandles the far arm through their legs. CD then grabs around their neck, so that his arm is between their head and their near arm. From here, CD picks the opponent up so they are laying on their side across his shoulders. CD then dumps the opponent over on their head in a kind of side pumphandle Death Valley Driver/Burning Hammer type move.

A combination Corey's been using lately, repeated kicks to the face. In any position, Corey will unleash a flurry of front kicks to the opponent's face, usually capping it off after five or six kicks. The opponent can be bent over, in the corner, face down on all fours, anything. As long as CD's foot can get to their face, it can happen. After the combo, Corey will usually transition into a triangle hold. If that will not get the submission, he'll start raining elbows to the skull of his opponent in an attempt to get them to give it up, or even knock them out.

Big Match/PPV/Feud/Jobber Killer Finisher:
"Torture's Device" - The finisher of CD's best friend and tag partner, Torture. CD grabs the opponent from behind and locked them in a reverse DDT before spinning around and dropping them in a Cutter. Originally called "Roll the Dice" or "Cross Rhodes".

"MadPlex Beta" - CD positions the opponent on the top rope and climbs up after them into a superplex hold. CD lifts the opponent up, but instead of falling backward, CD spins and sits out with a super Falcon Arrow, an homage to Rick Mad, former tag team partner and half trainer.

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" - CD positions the opponent in a Pedigree, lifts them up so they are laying on CD's shoulder in a double underhook Canadian backbreaker. CD then swings the opponent down, lifts a leg and brings up the other, slamming the opponent face first between his legs as he sits out, arms trapped behind them. Pretty much a higher angled Angels Wings.

A combination of moves CD deems as the greatest ever strung together in a wrestling ring. First, the opponent is whipped into a corner, where upon contact CD is running and jumping at their head with a big dropkick. That dropkick will usually make them fold up with all their body on the top turnbuckle due to the awesome impact of the dropkick. They will then land in a sitting position on the mat. As they land, CD has usually already hit the opposite ropes and is on his way back. CD will bring his foot up as he approaches the opponent at full speed and hit a running low yakuza kick to the side of the opponent's face, stopping himself with the ropes. CD drags the opponent into the middle of the ring, where he climbs a turnbuckle that their head is facing. CD then completes the devastating combo by jumping off the top rope (sometimes he'll springboard), getting massive air, and bringing his knees up. CD lands on the opponent's face with both knees after dropping from a most impressive altitude.
