Henry Irslinger

[pikemojo]

I had done some research on Henry Irslinger, even spoke with one of his daughters via email, and became very interested in him. He was of Austrian descent but was born in England. He moved to the US after having won the middleweight titles & tournaments in England. He fared well in the middleweight divisions in the US & Australia. After he retired from wrestling he effectively brought pro-wrestling to South Africa with what he called All In Wrestling. His finisher was a FLYING HEADLOCK where he grabbed his opponent in a headlock and slammed them to the ground, landing on top of them with all his weight and immediately going for the pin. There were times where it took 2-3 FLYING HEADLOCKS in a row to get the win but it was still a very effective finisher.

a few notes....change if you wish
well the one that should change without question. move 5 on level 1 offense lacks any sort of number

I'd shuffle moves 2, 3, and 4 on level 2 and 3 offense.

He has no leave option although you might have made that intentional.

Looks good otherwise.

Nice catches. A couple typos.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your reasoning for the move shuffles? Not that I question your expert opinion I am just wondering before I just switch them around without knowing why.

[TTX]

the main reason is (ch) moves tend to have particular slots. move 4 on level 2 offense (as it can give you a level 3 move)
the (ch G) tends to be the move before any choice charts.

Because there are certain places things go on a card in following official rules.

Platinum respect for going above and beyond with that level of effort. Great work Pike!

I also put together the OWW page for him.

www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/h/henry-irslinger.html

After putting the page together I found out that he was actually billed as being from Atlantic City and that he used the Flying Headlock as a finisher instead of a move that I had previously seen listed as his favorite, the Arm Lock/Leg Trip.
