Real Name: Hank Hennessy
Ring Name: Big Meat
Height: 6'6
Weight: 306lbs
Hometown: Seven Persons, Alberta, Canada
Age: 56
Alignment: Heel
Theme Music: "It's Bad You Know" by R.L. Burnside
Wrestling Style: Brawler, pure and simple.
Big Meat is big, tough and very nasty. His physique is intimidating though by no means impressive; he is naturally tall and wide of shoulder, though his love for beer and grilled meat have taken its toll on what was once the enviable build of an amateur hockey player. Don't be fooled by his sloppy look, though - Big Meat packs a serious punch. He is a 30-year veteran of the business, having competed all over the world including a lengthy stint in HKWF during the 1990s. He is notorious on the Canadian circuit for being extremely rough with up-and-comers, routinely smacking the shit out of notable names such as Adam Cage, Justin and Zachary Sharp and his own nephew, CSW and former GZW2K1 star Shane Hennessy. And they haven't forgotten about that; Big Meat is legitimately disliked by most wrestlers under the age of 30. He's an old school brawler with a real "good old boys" attitude and is regarded as a sexist, bigoted bully backstage. He has friends somewhere, however, as he is still on CSW's payroll after 3 years and no less than 13 suspensions.
Strengths:
Pound-for-pound, Big Meat is as tough as they come in the Globalverse.
30+ years of experience wrestling all over the world means that there is very little he hasn't seen and done.
Genuinely fearless.
Weaknesses:
Old age. He's not as nimble or sprightly as he once was and cannot nearly match the athleticism of the younger generations.
Generally reviled by his co-workers, does not make friends easily.
Alcoholic.
Limited in-ring arsenal (and arguably, ability).
Finishing Move: Big Meat Punch (stiff, closed right hand - routinely knocks out opponents)
Signature Moves:
Hard clotheslines
Axe handle smash from second rope
Bearhug
Other Moves:
Basic bodyslams, atomic drops, etc.
Sloppy punches and kicks
Leg drops and knee drops requiring little athleticism
Other Points of Interest:
Big Meat was a contemporary and drinking buddy of Monarch's in HKWF for much of the late nineties, going on many a legendary bender. The two had a falling out however, allegedly over a woman, and have been on very bad terms ever since.
Received a lifetime ban from GZW2K1 events in 2001. Having appeared in a dark match at Heatwave I with a view to joining the active roster, Big Meat subsequently got extremely drunk backstage and had a standoff with Nathaniel Davis. Supposedly Big Meat made a "racially insensitive" remark to the future Icon and Commissioner, to which the usually level-headed Davis took exception. The two had to be physically separated by Davis' brother Deacon Kane (then competing as Wicked Ways) before things came to blows. Hennessy hasn't gone near a GZW2K1 event (or competed in the States, for that matter) since.
Caused uproar at a CSW PPV in 2010 when he exposed himself to young female referee Joanie Mathis during a tag team match, leading to one of his many suspensions.
