David Fox Biography

 

DEFIANCE World Trios Tag Team Championships (w/ Eddie Dante and Mushigihara)  

"Same Ol'" -- The Heavy  

Troy’s abandoned the hair coloring that defined much of his career, switching to basic (and natural) black, which he keeps short and spiked. His eyes are naturally green. His physique is lean and lithe, and decorated with various tattoos. Some that stand out include:

*The Deimon Devil Bats logo from the popular Japanese comic series "Eyeshield 21" on his left upper arm
*Two black bands around his right forearm that each are "tied" in a similar fashion to a martial arts black belt. Above the first belt is "Tang Soo Do" written in Korean, and above the second is "Sin Moo Hapkido", also in Korean.
*Under his left knee, his given name (David Troy) in Thai lettering
*The familiar "Crimson Ghost" logo of the Misfits inside his right forearm
*On his right bicep, a New Jersey Devils logo and the numbers ‘95, ‘00, and ‘03, representing his favorite hockey team’s three Stanley Cup-winning seasons. 

Black fighter shorts with red trim, triangle hazard symbol (red triangle, black-trim with red outline, black exclamation point) on the right thigh, his name in Thai (â€�"เ�"วิ�" ฟอกซà¹�’”) in red, on the left. Black boots with black kickpads (red trim), black kneepads and elbowpads.

Outside the ring, he dresses casually and simply. Jeans, hoodies, jackets, sneakers, that kind of thing. And always some kind of New Jersey Devils merchandise. 

n/a

OLD SCHOOL MOVESET  

Not necessarily MDK moves, but if Fox starts pulling old tricks from his bag, you know he's going for broke.
