"The Nightmare" Blake EllisHeight: 6' 2" Weight: 220lbs Hometown: Hartford, Connecticut Finisher: Dream Release (Sleeperhold Neckbreaker) GWF Titles Held: Blake Ellis was in a difficult position. He had always wanted to be in the WWF, but when he was there, the light-heavyweight division was non-existent. As a result, he was sent to MCW to brush up. Whilst he wowed the Memphis crowds, the WWF showed no signs of picking up the light-heavyweight division, and Ellis grew more frustrated. Then, Ellis changed. When the Radicalz entered the fed and the division kicked off again, Ellis was given the persona of a dark character who could enter the mind of his opponents. Now, The Nightmare was all set to appear at Backlash, when he hurt his knee. After 3 months out injured, his contract expired and wasn't renewed. Ellis is looking to redeem himself and prove what a stellar cruiserweight he is, and the GWF is the perfect platform for him. Ellis has a varied style. He can throw suplex, use power moves or go up top. He uses the Dream Release as a highly effective finisher, but can also win matches with a cobra clutch, a flying elbowdrop, an inverted brainbuster or a piledriver. Ellis also teams with Mike Finn. The two form a cruiserweight team with a large dark side. They also have an innovative finisher, where Ellis catches an opponent in a side suplex, and Finn then spikes the move with an inverted DDT.
