PERSONALITY INFO
Gimmick
Strongman Powerhouse
Strengths
Strength - Pretty straightforward, Markus is strong. He can lift pretty much anyone, do pretty much anything. He has that straight up scary, functional strength that serves him well in the ring.
Deceptively Quick - Usually you see a big guy and you think they’ll lumber along all slow, not Markus. He’s actually pretty quick, has explosive speed and can surprise a ton of people with just how fast he can make his way across the ring.
Likeable - There’s just something about Markus that people get behind. People cheer him on and want to see him succeed which helps him in his matches.
Weaknesses
Stamina - Yeah this one is pretty obvious too. He’s here for a good time, not a long time. Due to his size, his strength and how much energy he uses up he tends to fade relatively quickly.
Technical Wrestling - Why learn how to counter submission/holds when you can just power out of them? If he comes across a great wrestler who can keep him down, he’ll be in trouble if he’s unable to power out of their moves.

Tag matches, that’s his bread and butter really - he still likes it and he’s still really good at it.
Disliked Match Type(s)
Anything with heights.

CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Markus FK is cousin to the infamous HENNY, professional fighter Marissa Kanensson and also cousin to former Liberty Pro competitor Freddie Hjalmar. Growing up in Switzerland with his younger sister Léoni, Markus became infatuated with weight lifting at a rather young age, finding joy and solace in it. After making the move to Michigan for RISE, a developmental wrestling program, Markus FK used his size and strength to good effect to become a successful wrestler alongside his tag team partner, Angelo Sands. They shocked the world in HKW, quickly becoming the Global Tag Team champions whilst still members of RISE, before graduating and enjoying a lengthy reign as World Tag Team champions later on.
The tag team would eventually disband as Angelo stepped away from the sport, and Markus decided to do the same, instead focusing on other ventures. Eventually in 2021 Markus FK would return to professional wrestling, beginning to wrestle for Passione d’Oro, an independent Italian wrestling organisation. Alongside his commitments for the company, Markus has decided to join his fiancé Antoinette Sands, sister to his former tag partner Angelo in Liberty Pro.
