Name: "The Haunted" Erik Holland
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 285 lbs.
Hometown: Silent Hill
Alignment: Chaotic Babyface - Erik uses his own struggles with mental health and personal trauma to seek a connection with his fans. Fans also built a tremendous respect for his skills because of his Deathmatch prowess and willingness to take on any challenge.
Entrance Music: Invasion of the Body Snatchers intro leading into “The Dying Song (Time to Sing)” - Slipknot
Fighting Style:
Brawler/Power/Deathmatch. Very similar to what you would see in a modern day heavyweight. Hard hitting, all offense, strikes, slams and suplexes as well as power-based submission holds. Demonstrates his resilience through his selling and connecting with the crowd. Completely comfortable in extreme environments and loves to employ unique weapons. Especially enjoys putting people through tables because the fans always pop for a table spot and almost goes into a trancelike state anytime he does.
Wrestles like a modern heavyweight in that he loves to chain maneuvers together one after the other for maximum pain and impact. He also loves to show off how strong he is and how hard he can hit - hes been known his entire career as one of the pound for pound strongest wrestlers in the industry, capable of lifting and throwing wrestlers much larger than him (with effort that he sells like crazy).
Risk taker and will happily step outside his box to try to win. In tag team attractions he is a very capable partner for almost any style of wrestler being a multiple time tag team champion with three different partners.
His physical weak point is his surgically repaired back which he broke in two places a couple of years ago. While he is pretty much healed, he will sell offense to the back like it’s killing him.

Signature Moves:
Limbic Resonance - Jumping Piledriver
Death Blooms - Diving elbow drop to the outside of the ring, sometimes from the ring apron or another elevated surface
The End So Far - Sloppy Sharpshooter. Aesthetically its not applied perfectly, but it hurts, and thats what matters.
Medicine for the Dead - 2nd rope Dragon Superplex.
Stain of Mind - Bronson Reed’s “Tsunami” or probably the worst top rope splash you’ll ever see, but it HURTS.
Lament Configuration - Crossface/Scissored Armbar Combo (The Batista Bite)
Butcher’s Hook - Sleeper Hold, but when he gets them to the mat he immediately starts with arm-trapped 12-to-6 elbow strikes as a way to try to win by referee stoppage or verbal submission.
All Hope Is Gone - Sloppy STF. Think John Cena. He’s not looking to wow you with technical acumen - when he applies the hold he either wants the tap out or to break your neck, OR to choke you out.
This Cold Black - Double Arm DDT transitioned into a guillotine choke
Snuff - Spear, often as an “out of nowhere” counter to regain control of the match.
Finishing Moves:
The Toxic Avenger - John Cena’s Attitude Adjustment, or a fireman’s carry lift to a modified powerslam. Can hit this from a variety of positions including from the top and as an “out of nowhere” counter. In big matches he will roll through and hit a second one immediately after the first as an insurance policy. NOTE: To protect the visual impact of the move, do not have Erik do the move successfully unless he is going to win.
Quote: "Fight for EVERYTHING you want and never stop."
Superstar History: None that matters to EW. A five time world champion and hardcore legend, “The Haunted” finds himself winding down his career by 2026 and wanting to prove he still belongs in the conversation as one of the best ever. His anything goes style, personality, and mentality walking that fine line between lucidity and insanity makes him one of the most dangerous and compelling wrestlers on the circuit.
