Hammer Clarion

Nobody in DRC has settled on how a lumberjack from rural France ended up this specific kind of terrifying, and Clarion has never once explained it — he just shows up, sizes up an opponent the way you’d size up a tree that’s in the way, and gets to work. He doesn’t talk much and doesn’t need to; the silence is more unsettling than a promo would be. His whole game is controlled, patient destruction — he’ll absorb offense early in a match without much reaction, waiting for the exact moment an opponent commits to something, and punish it. The Timber, his finisher, is a fireman’s carry into a full-weight slam that he sets up slow enough for the crowd to see it coming and still can’t stop.
