[X] Selfish (breaks/abides by rules when beneficial to self) [Eddie Guerrero, Steve Austin in 2001]
GIMMICK IN ONE OR TWO SENTENCES: Technically gifted athlete who thinks he's a bigger deal than he actually is.
REASON FOR CHARACTER BEING IN WRESTLING IN ONE OR TWO SENTENCES: He won a few matches early in his career and now he think`s he`s god`s gift to wrestling.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: (100-300 words): Simply put, Alton West let a quasi-joke belt go to his head. Winning the DCWL Maple Leaf Championship was something that West took very very very seriously as his major breakthrough in the business and just like that, his ego got out of control.
This is not to say that Alton West doesn't have the tools to become one of the all-time greats, it just seems to be a case of too much too soon and no one is able to talk him off this point. It doesn't help that he's acquired a cult following among wrestling fans for his bizarre boasts. Recently he claimed to be a "45th degree black belt," and has opened his own "Alton West Wrestling Hall of Fame" (of which he is the first inductee). West is also infamous for a recent blog posting in which he ranked all his prior opponents as a percentage. (He thinks highest of Automo Bill, who is "an astounding veteran, at least 12% the athlete I am.")
