The lights turn off for a moment. The dueling guitar riffs from Simple Plan guitarists Sébastien Lefebvre and Jeff Stinco from their song “Last One Standing” as the screen reads “#Believe” in a light blue font. With a solitary spotlight on the top of the ramp, Adrien Cochrane appears the moment Pierre Bouvier’s vocals begin to echo throughout the venue, the NGW Championship around his waist.
“How many times are you gonna try to shut me out?
I told you once, told you twice, I ain't going to turn back around
You can say whatever, try to mess with me
I don't care, I'm not scared
You don't have to say you're sorry, save your sympathy
With a friend like you, I don't need an enemy
I would give you time if you were worth it
But guess what, you're not worth it”
Shae: From New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at one hundred ninety pounds, he is New Generation Wrestling Champion..."The Dropkick King" ADRIEN COCHRANE!!
Cochrane looks at the fans from the ramp for a moment, giving a smile as he makes his way down the ramp and to the ring, hitting as many high fives and fist bumps as he can on his way to his destination.
COMMENTARY
As Adrien leaps over the ropes to enter the squared circle and removes his black leather jacket to expose his #Believe shirt and handing his championship belt to the referee, he leans on the ropes with his fist in the air to the sound of the chorus.
“Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, I'm always going to be the last one standing
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, because I'm never going to give up trying
And now I'm ready to go, I'm here, I'm waiting for you
And I'm going be the last one standing”
Personality
** Are you a Face/Heel/Tweener Leaning Face/Tweener Leaning Heel - Major Face
** Favorite Match - Standard matches, favorite special is ladder
** Favorite Weapon - He rarely uses weapons unless in a match allows them, but an oddity for him is the chair, which can be used in substitute of a tag partner for a tag move he does (and the move doesn’t actually have contact between the chair and the opponent, so can legally be used, but rarely used in a standard match)
** Wrestling Style - Mixture between Technical and High Flying, using his agility and martial arts training to overcome the fact that he is a bit on the small side
** In-Ring Attire - Pants length wrestling tights with “Dropkick” down the left leg and “King” down the right, all in a light blue. He wears a black sleeveless shirt that has #Believe in the same font.
** Brief Character Bio - Adrien Cochrane got his start as a member of a stable in a Gulf Coast regional company called All-Star Wrestling Association, part of the World Wrestling Alliance (WfWA in OOC) and being trained by former World Wrestling Alliance World Champion "Nightbringer" Ryan Corey as one of his first students at Camp Nightfall. After a few shows, Adrien became the leader of the stable called Live Wire, being a main part of their tag division. After awhile, Adrien began to outgrow the team with Dean Hobkirk and got a few singles opportunities, eventually becoming a two-time finalist in the World Wrestling Alliance Summer Games Tournament with a new gimmick and moniker, the Original Prankster. It was until after he was dismissed by new AWA owner Edward Nair and sent to another WWA region up in New York, Hudson River Wrestling, that Adrien was able to finally capture his first championship, the HRW Manhattan Island Title. He attempted to get back into the alliance-wide tag division once more as he teamed up with Colby Blaine, with her uncle and OLW legend Ripper Longshanks managing the both of them, but the team never quite got there.
Once the WWA folded, it was awhile before Adrien reemerged, and it was with Premium Championship Wrestling, matured from his time away and refocused as the Dropkick King. Adrien Cochrane quickly dispatched many then and future PCW Hall of Famers such as Draven Logan Kennedy, Sickboy, Jerry Matthews, and Heather Monroe to have runs with their PCW Platinum Championship and later, his first World Title.
Adrien left PCW for True Honor Wrestling. Though his time at THW was brief before it closed, he did capture the THW International Title on the final show from a future rival in EXODUS Pro Lexie Bonds. THW was merged to EXODUS Pro where Adrien reunited with fellow former WWA wrestlers Jimmy Riley and Justin Brooks. His association to those two landed him in the middle of the war between the EXODUS Seikigun, a group of high-profile wrestlers who was standing by injured general manager Jonathan Collins, who was injured by the hands of the other faction, a group called LEGION, who sought to destroy EXODUS Pro. Adrien quickly befriended EXODUS Pro World Champion Fiona Rourke, EXODUS Pro International Champion Heather Halliwell, Riley, Brooks, and a few others to eventually defeat LEGION, the highlight of which was Adrien being the last man standing in an eight-man tag match and able to overcome the numbers to win the match as the lone survivor.
Once LEGION was dispatched, ex-AWA owner Edward Nair shows up and starts his reign of terror, part two, trying to take over the company and dividing the roster again. This results in a betrayal by Heather Halliwell against the former Seikigun members, getting the World Title from Fiona Rourke. Once Adrien was given the opportunity to get Heather one-on-one and was able to finally capture his second World Title despite interference from everyone Nair could throw into the match.
After his run as champion, Adrien was in and out of the EXODUS Pro picture after a couple of disappointing showings before coming back on the final show in a battle royal, where he would go on to meet his future proteges, Kenzie Rydell and Adam Sanders. Cochrane ends up wrestling briefly at Rydell’s other employer, Inferno Wrestling. Inferno closed quickly, unfortunately, with Adrien’s only title shot coming from a champion who didn’t even show up for the match on the last pay per view. Once Inferno owner, Chris Night, opened up a new company called #FSociety, one of the first signings he wanted to make was Adrien. Cochrane impressed enough that when Tyson Gregory was crowned champion on the first show after winning against Adrien who was wrestling back to back matches in the match, Adrien was given the first crack at Tyson Gregory for the belt. After being a bit underestimated by the champion, the Dropkick King captured his third heavyweight championship. While Gregory didn’t waste any time getting the championship back from Cochrane, Adrien ended his #FSociety run without another loss, capping off his run on the final #FSociety show by ending the undefeated streak of #FSociety Anarchy Champion Allyson Morrow. On the final show of Karnage-Pro Championship Wrestling, just a couple of days prior to the final #FSociety show, Adrien and his then-girlfriend, Stacy Sterling, captured their tag team championships, marking the first time Cochrane had won a tag belt.
