PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION
RING NAME(S): Issak Otto NICKNAME(S): "The Class Act" BILLED FROM: Stockholm, Sweden HEIGHT: 6'1" WEIGHT: 215lbs. TRAINED BY: Various mat technicians within Sweden, and America. CROWD AFFILIATION: The Babiest of Faces PROFESSIONAL DEBUT: September 2016. Ready, Set, Wrestle. DIVISION: Originally was going for monthly, more than likely angle. However, being the Grand Champion obviously requires me within the Roleplay division, and I'd guess with a bi-weekly schedule. Because of this, I can honestly have Issak in any/all. But if it makes it easier, put him with Roleplay Bi-Weekly
WRESTLING INFORMATION
WRESTLING STYLE: Technical submissionist, with bits of highflying (due to training with Kaia) MATCH TACTICS: Issak's intention isn't to ever appear flashy, but because of his extensive training in the technical realm, his tactics throughout the match showcase a wide array of technical maneuvers. This can come off showboatey every now and then, but only because the fans enjoy seeing the skill. Throughout the opening of the match, Issak will play defense, while looking for openings in his opponents offense and capitalizing. From there he'll transition to higher impact moves to wear his opponent down, or submission holds. However, he is not the type of competitor that will choose an arm or a leg and pick that apart, for fear of causing injury. His focus is to tire his opponent out. The vast majority of the time, Issak displays great display for his opponent during every match, and never takes the moment for granted. His tactics are always in the open, never sneaky. He's not out to outplay his opponent, he's trying to outskill them while still offering them respect in return for having the heart to compete in a match. CHARACTER PERSONALITY: Issak is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet in wrestling. He's legitimately out to help others, and make it to the top without stepping on others. He's genuinely happy for those that do well, especially if he already has a connection with them. He's friendly, sometimes overly friendly, and can't see the hints when someone DOESN'T want to be his friend, or when another person doesn't have a personality that meshes well with his. In these instances he tends to continue pushing himself onto that person. Very rarely does he come off annoying, though it has happened before. Issak tends to mesh well with everyone and enjoys the company of others. CHARACTER ANALYSIS: There's not really an evil bone within Issak's body, he's kindhearted to the bone. He will treat everyone fairly, and at times has even been too kind to those that don't deserve it. Those being mean to him, he gives them a number of chances, continuing to act kind towards them. They have to cross a certain boundary before his demeanor ever changes, because most of the time he believes that there's good in everyone, and people may just "be having a bad day". He strives on and on, fighting harder and harder no matter what obstacles are placed in front of him. Issak has an immense amount of heart that he showcases often. GIMMICK DESCRIPTION: Nice boy technical wrestler, striving to reach the pinnacle of the sport he loves so much, while making lots of friends along the way
TWITTER: @classactotto EXPERIENCE: 2 1/2 years professionally, 8 years prior in amateur wrestling. PAST ACCOLADES: RSW Absolute Briefcase Holder, ACM Intercontinental Champion, CWC International Champion

ENTRANCE INFORMATION
ENTRANCE THEME: "All The Way Up" by Fat Joe & Remy Ma ANNOUNCER INTRODUCTION:ERIN LAMBERT: "On his way to the ring, weighing in at 215lbs, he is the PW NEO GRAAANNNDDD CHAMPION..."THE CLASS ACT" ISSAAAKK OTTOOOO!"
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: Seemingly out of nowhere, the lights cut out and leave the audience in pure darkness. They sit there, chatting among themselves about who it may be. They're given a few seconds of thought, before suddenly "All The Way Up" by Fat Joe and Remy Ma blare through the speakers. Instantly, the crowd jump to their feet, cheering for the ironic song that Issak Otto has always used as his entrance music. A couple short seconds more, and "The Class Act" himself was walking through the black curtain and standing on top of the ramp. He stops at the top, looking out at the crowd with his usual giant smile, and waving to the crowd. The audience feels as if he's catching each one of their eyes and waving to them specifically, as he scans the arena.
Issak places both hands on his hips, standing at almost a superhero stance, taking in a deep breath as if he was breathing in all the cheers and chants. With his head held high, he made his way down the ramp with a bit of a pep in his step. First, he went to the right side of the ramp, slapping hands with multiple fans as he walked by at his fast pace. Then, he made his way to the left side of the ramp, making sure he wasn't missing the people on he other side, slapping their hands, as well. Issak reached the end of the ramp, stopping in his tracks and looking directly at the ring. He nodded his head up and down, bringing up his fists and showing that he was ready! Immediately after, Issak slides into the ring, under the bottom rope.
He completes a complete turn roll after sliding in, which puts him in the center of the ring as he pops up to his feet. Issak leans against the right side of the ring, leaning far into the ropes and waving to the audience members. Of course, he has to be symmetrical, walking to the opposite side of the ring, leaning far into the ropes again, waving to every single audience member that came to see him. Alright, maybe not EVERY audience member that came to see him, but Issak has a way with the crowd that makes you feel like he really sees you among everyone else standing a cheering. Lastly, "The Class Act" stands in the center of the ring, his fists held up slightly as he looks towards the ramp.
CHAMPIONSHIP ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: Seemingly out of nowhere, the lights cut out and leave the audience in pure darkness. They sit there, chatting among themselves about who it may be. They're given a few seconds of thought, before suddenly "All The Way Up" by Fat Joe and Remy Ma blare through the speakers. Instantly, the crowd jump to their feet, cheering for the ironic song that Issak Otto has always used as his entrance music. A couple short seconds more, and "The Class Act" himself was walking through the black curtain, the PW NEO Grand Championship fastened tight around his waist. He stops at the top of the ramp, placing his right hand on top of the Grand Championship softly, and waves to the audience with his left hand. His typical giant smile can really be felt by the audience, which connects them to the Grand Championship his other hand rests upon. Together, we are ALL the Grand Champion!
He takes a moment to place both hands on his hips, on either side of the Grand Championship, standing at almost a superhero stance. He runs both hands in either direction, across the gold plate, showcasing it to the cheering fans, before pointing out at the audience. He was signaling that it was all because of them, naturally. His giant smile returned a moment later, running down the right side of the ramp and slapping hands with as many fans as he could. At about the half way mark, Issak switched sides, running down the left side of the ramp and slapped hands with as many fans as he could. At the bottom of the ramp, Issak quickly walked to the right side of the ring, jogging up the steel steps and walking along the apron. In the middle of the apron, Issak unlatched the Grand Championship, holding it high into the air with his right hand and pointing towards the crowd again. Now more than ever, the audience could FEEL Issak's gratitude he felt towards them and their undying support that got him to this very championship.
He ducks under the top rope, and steps into the ring. Otto finds his way over to the side of the arena that has yet to be looked at, leaning far over the ropes with the Grand Championship in his right hand, waving to the crowd with his left. Never forgetting anyone in the arena, Issak makes sure to complete the same movement on the opposite side of the ring, really making each person there to see him tonight feel as if they've been acknowledged. Walking to the center of the ring, Issak flips the PW NEO Grand Championship around so that the gold plate is facing him instead, kissing it, and handing it over proudly to the referee. Lastly, he looks towards the ramp with his fists slightly raised, ready for the fight.
BIOGRAPHY
Issak spent more than half his life in Stockholm, Sweden, the only child of Johan and Aleka Otto. Issak hasn't spoken much about his childhood other than the fact that he loved his mother dearly, and was happy. From what we can tell, he had a decent life with both parents. However, at age 11, Aleka Otto was diagnosed with brain cancer, and held out for 4 more months before it took her. Her death crushed the Otto family, leaving a distraught Johan and a young, confused Issak. Issak has mentioned briefly that his father became very harsh and distant after his mother's death, and their relationship never recovered. Issak would begin wrestling as a way to cope, and became very good at it. So good, his father even invested money to have him nationally trained. He garnered attention throughout Sweden, and into other countries, winning all sorts of medals and trophies throughout his time as an amateur.
The summer before his 18th birthday, Issak was discovered by Miles Larsen. Miles owned an international coalition that represented athletes all around the globe, working as a booking agent, as well as housing a training facility. Once 18, Issak was offered a contract with Larsen International Co. and immediately left Sweden. From then on, Miles became a second father figure to Issak, having a much softer guiding hand than his actual father ever did. Miles was able to instantly sign Issak with Ready, Set, Wrestle. He had a rough time at the beginning, trying to get the performative art portion down, and still felt very much like a child. He took things to heart, for instance when his fellow teammate, ZERO, cut ties with Larsen International Co. Despite his inexperience and emotion rollercoaster, Issak was able to place in a triple ladder match, holding 3 briefcases, capturing the briefcase for the Absolute Championship! The only issue was the belt was newly won by his former teammate, (and who Issak still considered a friend) ZERO. He never got the chance to cash in though, as RSW hit bankruptcy shortly after.
It took Miles Larsen a couple months before he found Issak a job working for the CWC. Well, it was actually Issak who saw the Coalition in action first, personally asking Mister Larsen to approach them with a deal. The new upstart, ACM, agreed to sign the boy from Sweden on. There was also a tournament for the INternationship Championship about to take place, but because ACM was so new they were denied representatives. Issak happily watched from the sidelines as he won his first match under the ACM banner, hosted in Hollywood before moving to Mexico. Issak made sure to grind his nose to the stone, asking to be booked every weekend, and put on a smile to do so.
Issak's next step was to sign with the South Arican based company, JCP. A decision he made on his way, without Miles Out of the goodness of his heart, Miles granted Issak his release, which caught Issak totally off guard. Miles told Issak that he was making decision himself now, taking control of his career like a grown man, and that he didn't need Miles any longer. In JCP, Issak was entered into the Decimation Trials and placed upon Team Emerald. Issak instantly tried to befriend his teammates, calling their squad #TeamEmeraldFriendship. The Decimation Trials were rough, and Issak earned the respect of most of the roster, even making it all the way to the final trial, representing his team. Issak represented Team Emerald in the final match, the main event of First Impact, with the JCP Championship on the line, where he'd lose to Evelyn Kueller. He took the loss as a growing opportunity, taking it in stride and moving forward in JCP
Now under contract with both Mexico and South Africa, Issak took up guest appearances with every single CWC international company available. He traveled to Canada, Germany, Japan, Scotland, South America, and so forth. With each appearance, he was shocked at how many people knew who he was, and how many friends he had made. Back in ACM, he was able to outlast many others in a battle royal to crown the first ecer ACM Intercontinental Championship, Issak's first official championship reign. Around this time, he also met Kaia Rain, who he would begin dating. He toted the Intercontinental Championship across the world, before losing it to Damien Miri of the Conglomerate. Issak wasn't able to get his rematch though, as the CWC nominated him as the number one contender to the CWC International Championship, a global wide championship he had within his dreams ever since it's conception. In the spring of 2018, Issak Otto began his second championship reign, accomplishing something he had previously thought only obtainable in his dreams.
Issak went months at the CWC International Championship, defending at every chance he got. However, he hadn't yet reached Misha LeCavalier's record before the CWC decided to disband, leaving the International Championship defunct. Otto took a few months to collect himself, keeping a low profile, having a small tag run with Kaia in Evolution, before taking a break from wrestling completely. Issak was lost, and took some time before he remembered why he does what he does. In January 2019, Issak resigned with Evolution, having matches with Misha LeCavalier, Michael Kelly, Devin Hearst, and continues challenging for the Evolution Civility Championship. Much to the surprise of the wrestling world, Issak also signed up for an 8-person battle royal to crown the first PW NEO Grand Champion. Issak shocked the world, having a full circle moment, as he and Evelyn Kueller outlasted everyone. In the end, Issak pinned Evelyn to become the first PW NEO Grand Champion. Some would say HE'S BACK, but Issak would say he's got a long way to go. It starts HERE.
