"The Machine" Rob YorkeHeight: 6' 8" Weight: 321lbs Hometown: Los Angeles, California Finisher: Emerald Erosion GWF Titles Held: Rob Yorke is a monster of a man. 6'8", 321lbs of pure muscle and power, combined with a almost sociopathic attitude and a high pain threshold. Yorke was discovered by Paul Heyman in the late 90's, and immediately brought into ECW. "The Machine" earned his name with his methodical approach and rare mistakes. Yorke remained a dominant force in ECW, before making the jump to the TWF. Yorke's stay was short-lived, but impactful. Then, when he heard that the GWF was recruited, Yorke made the switch. Now he is on a new path of destruction, and who is going to stop him? Yorke's in-ring strategy is simple. High impact, high pain. Yorke will use any move as long as it will cause his opponents massive pain. He uses the very dangerous Emerald Erosion as his finisher, possibly the only place you will see the move in North America. He also puts his opponents away with a choke slam, a gorilla press driver, a power bomb, a spinebuster or an inverted shoulderbreaker. Yorke is almost a loner, but does have a friendship with Paul Maloney, "The Shooter", and teams with him on occasions as The Alliance. Their devastating Powerbomb Neckbreaker has caused multiple injuries in the past, and may well do it again in the future.
