Johnny Vegas and Highrider Hi, my name is John. I handle a team called the Vegas Connection, a.k.a. The High Rollers, who have been in various feds. Here's where you can view the stats and other info of the Vegas Connection, aka The High Rollers.Johnny VegasHeight: 6'4"Weight: 241Finishing move: The JackpotFinishing move description: Suplex into a DDT Entrance music: "Viva Las Vegas" as sung by ZZ Top Physical Description and Ring Attire: Chiseled, muscular physique, tan, short black hair and goatee, wears long yellow tights and usually wears a Johnny Vegas T-Shirt to the ring. If he doesn't wear a T-shirt, he wears a black two-strap top (similar in shape to Bret Hart's) that has a large yellow "V" on front and back. He also wears yellow armpads. Wears gold chain around his neck; removes it for match. Also wears a yellow headband and black leather cut-off gloves. He has a black leather belt, black kneepads, and yellow boots.Alignment: Face with a bad attitude, but still a fan favorite. Other info: Hails from Las Vegas, Nevada. Prides himself on knowing the ways of gambling, which he shows in the ring with his cocky style, gold chains, and flashy costume with an airbrushed slot machine gracing his back. He is very flashy and cocky, but knows how to handle himself in the ring, and can hold his own with some of the toughest men in the league. His strength, skills, and an uncanny aerial ability for a guy his size equal a combination that is destined to put him at the top. HighriderHeight: 6'11½"Weight: 334Finishing Move: Highrider HangoverFinishing Move description: Spinning powerbomb into a pin. Entrance Music: "La Grange" by ZZ TopPhysical Description and Ring Attire: He is physically built like Kevin Nash, but younger and stronger. He has long dark hair and a thick goatee. He usually wears silver Oakleys, but takes them off for the match. He has a tattoo of red thorns around his left arm. He wears a black tanktop with purple flames designed on it, and long pants with a similar design. His pants also have white frills coming off the sides of them. He wears a leather belt with silver studs on it. He has black kneepads and light purple boots.Alignment: FaceOther Info: Born in Sacramento, California, he moved to Las Vegas at the age of twelve. He met Johnny Vegas, and they became best friends. Likes to display his extreme power, often rendering opponents unconscious in just a few moves. Posesses the same charisma as Johnny Vegas, he isn't a "Big, Quiet, Destructive Machine" like many big men are. He's big and destructive, but not quiet. He likes to run his mouth, but can back it up in the ring. Young, but not a newcomer to the sport, he competed in Japan for two years before coming to the UCW and starting his now long-running career. Has the power, skill, and charisma to take him all the way to the top. Tag Team Finisher: The Card SharkTag Team Finisher Description: Highrider whips the opponent into the ropes. On the rebound, he tosses the opponent into the air with his face facing the mat. As the opponent falls, Johnny grabs his head and spikes it into the mat.
