Entrance Theme:
"The Lumberjack" by Jackyll
Entrance:
*As a chainsaw roars to life over the stadium speakers, red light bathes the crowd as it roars in approval. Rick Dickulous steps through the curtain, his trademark smile beaming across his face as he plays the crowd from the stage. Before heading down the ramp, glowing white, Rick shoots finger guns at the ring and a thumbs up. As he makes his way to the ring, he stops to high five fans and take selfies with phones from audience members. Upon reaching the ring, Rick takes a deep breath, nods as he utters a few words, then steps up onto the apron from the floor, pulling himself up with the top rope. He steps over the ropes and walks to the centre of the ring, again flashing a thumbs up to the camera before high fiving the referee and making his way to his corner*

When in a situation where he may not have a strength advantage, Rick will keep the match to the mat as much as possible by using dead weight to impede his opponents' ability to recover, tossing in well placed strikes to slow their ability to get back up.

Black boots; red kilt with a black tartan (think stereotypical Canadian design); white tight tee sporting a Canadian flag in the centre, "I'M AN" above, "EH HOLE" below; black toque (beanie) with a Canadian Flag in the centre forehead
Biography:
Growing up in Toronto, Ontario, Rick took a liking to wrestling from a young age watching his father (William "The Mangler" Mannheim) wrestle. William Mannheim trained Rick from a very young age in the art of self defense (Krav Maga, Boxing, Greco-Roman Wrestling).
Rick was an all-star athlete in high school; defensive end on the varsity football team, member of the wrestling team, tight head prop for the rugby team, goaltender for the hockey team.
After school, Rick decided on a career in forestry, landing a job with a lumber company from northern British Columbia. Rick took to the job like a fish to water, his strength being his biggest asset on the job.
Rick was offered a contract by NFW in 2018 after William Mannheim advised Commissioner Steven Brody that he had unsigned talent who would be a perfect fit for the company. He has been a regular roster member since his signing, managing to secure a large fan base with his antics, energy, and wrestling ability.
During his tenure with New Frontier Wrestling, Rick won the Silver Mountain Championship twice, (a title in which every defense was a special stipulation/gimmick match). He left NFW to join Dominion Pro Wrestling, citing the need for changs, feeling a completely new promotion would give him the change he needed.
