WRESTLING STYLE: 
Graham is a world class Catch Style wrestler. He uses locks, holds, stretches, and pressure points in the match. Graham will also dawn a standard amateur wrestling fighting stance in the ring, to get the angled advantage. He uses smooth and effortless transitions fluidly to switch up his angle or hold. He tries to show little to no emotion in the ring; often running through his next three moves inside his head or trying to think of how he can get out of the unfortunate position he finds himself in. When frustrated he will tap the right side of his head near his temple; a method he uses to keep himself from snapping. Graham will also use his forearm to put pressure against the throat and or nose of his opponent to restrict air flow. His technique is seems very ‘good guy’ but his aggressiveness and refusal to be flashy creates his ‘better than you are’ resentment.

IN-RING ATTITUDE: Methodical. Graham's knowledge of the body and experience in Catch Style wrestling have led him to adapt a very 'Big Brother Bully' style of wrestling. That's #GoschStyle. Non flashy and unimpressive submissions that can make you wish you were dead grouped with a hold or two your grandfather could still catch you in but would make it hurt. Every move he makes in the ring is calculated three steps ahead to lower his risk of making mistakes.... when he's calm of course. Angered? Graham will turn into the roughneck down at the bar who wwould bash your skull against the bar before he headbutt you. So in the end he allows his opponent to pick their poison, but if they come at him with the 'flippy-do acrobat shit' then he will do his best to make sure it will be awhile before they can do that again.

SUPPORTING CAST



1. NAME: Nora Bauer

RELATION: It's common knowledge in the world of professional wrestling that Nora and Graham are an item. Will he ever purposely bring her up in conversation? No. Will he show her off on social media? No. Still their relationship has been built brick by brick and is stronger than most due to their ability to stay private. After learning of her decision to become a member of The Factory roster Graham felt as if he needed to follow her to not only prove to her, but also to himself that Catch Style, or GoschStyle is still the best thing going



2. NAME: Francis Gosch

RELATION: The father of Graham. A relationship that could be considered the driving force behind why he became a professional wrestler. He never did believe that anything that their patriarch accomplished was legitimate. Graham's great grand father passed a poor man separated from his family because of the turmoil that was brought on from being a pro wrestler in the infancy of the sport. While athletics were a very pivotal part of Graham's life growing up; it was pro wrestling that was scoffed at. 



3. NAME: Anyone who stops into RAWGRAPSGYM

RELATION: Vague? Yes. Corny? Perhaps. However, since Graham opened up RAWGRAPS gym he has gotten to train with the best athletes the world has to offer in the sport of peofessional wrestling. Located on the east coast right outside of Boston, RAWGRAPS has seen the likes of Cosmo Cooper, Michael Kelly, Bryan Laughlin, and of course Nora and himself as well. If he is there between appearances in The Factory you will more than likely see a cameo or two from some of the best talent in the world.

Having competed in catch style tournaments his entire childhood before going to college to play football; Graham is taking the path his great grandfather Georg Gosch did. He was born in the small city of Buffalo, Iowa but now resides in Boston, MA where he trains Since he was a child he wanted to be larger than life the way his great grandfather was in the black and white tapes he would endlessly watch, but he is also taking a path his family didn’t want for him because the game is different than it used to be. Due to Graham’s loyalty to legitimate Catch Style wrestling he refuses to do any flashy moves and this has isolated him and caused him to hate the Professional Wrestling egos. Graham competed at Lions Road briefly before participating in one off matches around the world. For awhile he had decided on running a gym with Nora Bauer to be his only priority.
