Character Name: “Geriatric” Waylon Hawthorne
Picture Base:
Tom Wilkinson
Hometown: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 245 lbs.
Background on Character:
Waylon Hawthorne started his wrestling career in the early 70’s. At that time he wrestled under the name Blackbeard Hawthorne. He was a heel with a pirate gimmick. His claim to fame was wrestling Bob Backlund for the WWF title in 1979 at a house show in Saskatoon. The match lasted only 5 minutes, and Backlund got the win, but Hawthorne is proud of this none the less. He made his return to the wrestling world 10 years ago when he came to the SWA to teach these darn youngsters what wrestling is all about. During his time in the SWA he became the SWA TV Champion. Now after the passing of his wife, his children have placed him in a retirement home due to him suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Lonely, Bitter, and crankier than ever, he now looks to make his return to the SWA and teach a new breed of youngsters what wrestling is all about. He figures if Ronald Reagan can be the President of The United States with Alzheimer’s than surely he can still be a wrestler.
Personality:
Neutral (He is a cranky, crazy old man who often does things in a heel like way, but the fans get a kick out of the old geezer)

Brief Entrance Description
“The Last Saskatchewan Pirate” begins to play. Waylon walks out onto the stage and flexes his saggy old man muscles. Waylon walks down the aisle.
