Hailing from Dixmont Mental
Hospital (a legendary Pittsburgh landmark and originally one of the
nation's foremost psychiatric hospitals...later, a haunted vortex of
paranormal phenomenon), Shirley Doe spent his entire childhood trapped in
a 6 by 6 foot cell, chained to a wall, a black and white UHF television
set his only friend. To escape from the nightmare of being a forgotten
child trapped in a closed down insane asylum, he lost himself in
professional wrestling. With his already diseased mind unfettered by
authority, he saw that the only truth was in evil. For in a sport where
the goal is to harm your opponent as much as possible, what use was there
in pretending to be a good person?
The young Doe took to wrestlers such as Harley Race, the Funk Brothers,
Don Muraco and Kevin Sullivan as role models. And when his unshackled mind
read the works of Anton LaVey, he devoted himself to satanism. He sees
wrestling as being guilty of the sin of lack of aesthetics. Wrestling
today has become "sports entertainment," palatable for the masses. What
was once a bastard sport enjoyed in smoky halls and practiced by those
initiated into a world of secrets has become something that almost anyone
of the streets can enter freely and become an "expert."
In the IWC promotion, Doe has enjoyed great success as a two time High
Stakes champion - a belt that requires the owner to decide what specialty
matches to compete in. Throughout tables, chairs, concrete, metal steps
and more, Doe has held onto the belt with maniacal devotion - holding it
for the past year, save two months to rival Kid Sensation before getting
his revenge. Doe holds the VCW Heavyweight title, and has also conducted
lengthy feuds with Chris Hero, Balls Mahoney and one-time partner Super
Hentai. Doe also held the PWL and PWX tag titles at the same time with
Devil Bhudokhan and was a long time PWL Triple Jeopardy champion.
Doe's style is best described as a mixture of old school brawling with
european uppercuts and hard thrown headbutts alongside submission based
wrestling and power moves. He boasts an array of set up moves, foremost
the Shining Wizard, a jumping kneestrike off of his opponent and right
into their face. Until recently, he had used the Sillyhead, an underhook
DDT variation, as his finisher. Since December of 2001, he has been
employing the Sillyhead 2, an inverted Death Valley Driver style
headdropping move. Some of his other moves he uses to wear down opponents
are the Superterrorizer(a reverse suplex into a stunner) and the Roaring
Elbow.
In the words of Doe, "If you hate me, I've done my job. Too many heels
want the fans to applaud them for their fancy moves. I'd rather get inside
your head, fill you with jealousy and force you to try to take me down at
every opportunity. Because the more you try to destroy me, the stronger I
get." |
