History
Biography
Born the bastardized offspring of an infamous overseas wrestling identity to a Japanese wrestling starlet, he was born into industry. A prestigious Japanese wrestling family provided him love and support but the shadow of his father always felt so cold and dark.
Eventually, his mother remarried to a wrestler by the name of THE Sam Skull. An American wrestler who preferred the peace of Japanese life and knew what it was like to live in their father’s shadow in chagrin. A man who was trained by his grandfather, the Black Skull, and had known Booker’s mother, Yua (who wrestled as Black Lotus Mask) for a long time. Sam trained, mentored and raised Booker as his own, showing him his way. Shunning and campaigning against the hardcore wrestling scene, Booker took the name Black Panda part in honour of his mother’s wrestling family and the other in mockery of his natural father.
Black Panda spent a lot of time in Japan battling against the promoters trying to promote him as his father’s son and not of the esteemed â€"Black†family. The pressure to fulfil his father’s destiny drew ire from the young superstar and he made a decision that he needed to go to America and remove what he saw as a stigma against his name.
And what better place to do that than a place his father competed and failed miserably?

Gimmick
Black Panda is anti-hardcore, straight edge and anti-establishment, due to his father disowning him and chasing his career. He only wears the black panda skull mask when he has no respect for his opponent, like THE Sam Skull would do with his silver skull mask. However, if he is really pushed he will wear a silver panda skull mask and break his own rules to set an example of the perils of living a life he deems sinful.
In short, he’s pissed his famous father never gave two shits about him and wants to prove to the world you can be a champion honestly.

Strengths
1. Smart, brilliant wrestling mind which can help him find offence through defence
2. Stamina, seems to have an uncanny amount of stamina and does not know when to quit (weakness?)
3. Natural strength, seems far stronger than his size should allocate to

Weaknesses
1. Afraid of heights above second rope (even this makes him uneasy on his feet)
2. His temper, particularly in relation to hardcore spots (can cost him a match with him snapping)
3. Speed, ain’t super fast
4. His natural instinct to â€"take a shortcutâ€... cowardly heel tactics of his father (though he has this under control it may be an issue in situations of extreme stress)
