Ring Name : Åska

Height : 7'0"

Weight : 325 lbs.

Hometown : Stockholm, Sweden

Appearance : He's a giant of a man. In shape and muscular, but not like a bodybuilder.

In the ring : Sometimes, he'll wear jeans and without a shirt and wearing elbow pads. Other times he'll wear pants saying THUNDER on one pant leg and STRUCK on the other. Colors vary, but blue and/or yellow letters(colors of the Swedish flag) on black pants dominate. Also, wears pants with a winged- cross on both pant legs. He'll always wear black elbow pads and black, fingerless gloves when wrestling.

out of the ring : He's a dress down kinda guy...doesn't mind dressing up, though. Gunnar is a t-shirt and jeans kinda man.

Attitude : Fairly calm most of the time. Gets a rather beserker rage when he's in the ring due to being a descendant of the Vikings.

General attitude towards others : Easy to get along with, but when angered is hard to calm down. Has a sort of friendliness to him, and isn't sour or bitter, though he's been through some bad stuff in his life.

In ring mentality:  Can be a beserker, but more focused.

Entrance Theme: "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC

Detailed Entrance : Åska rides to the ring on his Harley, stopping before the curtain to thump his chest twice with his fist and giving the two-pronged heavy metal hand gesture. He circles the ring one time, and parks the bike in front of the ring, out of the way of the action. The big man climbs into the ring, climbs to the second turbuckle, and raises a fist in the air. He walks across the ring to another turnbuckle and gives the two-pronged heavy metal hand gesture.

History of  Åska: Åska was born and raised in Terre Haute, IN to Swedish immigrants. His dad and mom both doctors, he was born a mutant with the ability to control and create electricity as well as thunder. He's said to be the descendant of the Norse thunder god Thor. Åska is a motorcycle enthusiast, restoring and repairing them. He rides a Harley-Davidson Dyna-Glide Super Glide Sport. One way to get in trouble with the big man is to mess with his bike. You touch another man's sled...ya gotta pay the consequences. However, Åska, has one glaring problem that's messed with him for years: the departure of his wife. No, she's not dead; she divorced him. Åska caught her cheating with another man and she asked for a divorce soon after, much to the unwillingness of the young, Swedish warrior. To escape it all, Åska has immersed himself in getting back into wrestling. Travelling to shows on his hog, it's been him and the road, and he's found a sort of freedom in it. As well as jamming with his band, he's almost forgotten the pain his wife has put upon him....almost. Recently, he moved to Stockholm, Sweden to be with family, but often travels back and forth to the States.
