GIMMICK IN ONE OR TWO SENTENCES: Latest in lineage of Quebecois strongmen.
REASON FOR CHARACTER BEING IN WRESTLING IN ONE OR TWO SENTENCES: With the disappearance of carnivals and fairs, Denis Cyr finds wrestling the best stage to show off against an opponent.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: (100-300 words): Cyr claims to be a fifth generation descendant of legendary strongman Louis Cyr. Judging by his feats of strength in the ring, one can believe it.
As a child he had listened to his parents tall tales about Louis Cyr and his exploits, and had hoped to follow in his footsteps by becoming a carnival strongman. However, the rise of wrestling in the 80s had put a different idea into his head.
By his late teens, Cyr was already making appearances at Quebec indy shows, making short work of his opponents. He has had a couple of stints with major promotions, however these have been short-lived. Wherever Cyr goes, allegations of using performance-enhancing substances follows and he is quickly shuffled under the rug. (It is worth noting that Cyr has never tested positive for these substances, although this can be more attributed to hardly ever been tested.)
Cyr is a tireless crusader in the community, putting in time at homeless shelters as well as providing a foster home for nearly five children.

- Ungodly strong - When Denis Cyr catches you, no matter how big you are, you're getting tossed around something serious.
SIGNIFICANT PERSONALITY WEAKNESS(ES):
- Poor cardiovascular - Denis Cyr gets winded a lot faster than most wrestlers and this prolongs his matches.
- Inflexible - He doesn't adapt his style to the opponent he's facing. Sometimes he's able to plow through it, but sometimes an opponent can wrestle circles around him.
