[edit] Background
A CWA wrestler, Sheep the Royal was originally a member of the national rugby team in his native Australia. He later immigrated to America and converted to American football, achieving superstar status. Unfortunately, he was eternally banished from the association after some acts of violence occurred and turned to pro wrestling afterwards. Although his name has a wind of nobility about it, his burly figure, double mohawk and exposed tongue show that there isn't an inkling of nobility in him. His nickname "The Stray Sheep" is said to lead opponents into thinking he's not capable of killing them.
[edit] Trivia
- Alexander the Grater is heavily based on real-life wrestler Vader. Grater's unique helmet (seen in his entrance) closely resembles a helmet which Vader wore to the ring for many of his matches in Japan. The name is also a wordplay on Alexander The Great.
