Brief Character Overview: 8-Ball is the kid we all knew growing up who had his first joint and ran away with it. He's the classic trope of the marijuana philosopher, getting high in order to find the answers to the problems that exist within today's culture. He's an abstract, wildly charismatic individual who puts large scale problems in digestible terms in order to win over his people and through the use of his perceptions and the power of observation, he annihilates his opponents by exposing their weaknesses.

Wrestling Style:
8-Ball's fighting style resembles Drunken Master despite not being trained and not drinking. He utilizes quick movement and an opponent's own momentum to expose them for bone crunching strikes and dazzling aerial displays. Imagine a Bruce Lee fight scene slowed down and fluid and you get 8-Ball's style.
In-Ring Strengths:
-He can move faster than probably anyone on the roster.
-He can take a surprising amount of punishment, real heart of the lion stuff.
-He's got a sharp mind, knowing just the right moment to move and the right way to use the environment as a weapon.
-His slow, graceful dives are a work of art and are timed so well that they always seem to connect.
-He's like a sniper. He always knows the right shot to take to annihilate a target.
In-Ring Flaws:
-He's small and breakable.
-He can't really lift anyone.
-He's not afraid of a good opportunity to boast.
-His high risk offense can backfire.
-He's not very technically proficient. I gave him 60 but that's purely on the ability to counter.
-Same for submissions.
In-Ring Attitude: Rope-A-Dope. Out think and out move your opponent. Keep on the back foot from the start and when the time is right, deliver a devastating blow to finish the fight.

BIOGRAPHY
Up until the age of thirteen, 8-Ball was a well adjusted, well mannered kid. Then he tried marijuana.
From that point on the whole world was open to him. There was a purpose, a path to follow, a void for answers to drifting questions. The marijuana stunted his actual brain growth and development but it spurned in him a craving for information. Every new person and their ideas was something to add to the katamari ball of his own philosophy and develop into a bigger picture, a global ideal for the world to strive for. He was 'collecting the keys to unlock the doors of futurism'.
So for a man on a journey to unify people, ending up in wrestling is a pretty out there destination. The reason for that is simple. His cousin was a wrestler, the former IWA Champion Travis Black and if Travis could use it easily to promote partying and excess then Herb could use it to promote something that really matters and hopefully take it further.
