The Demon

The Demon is a backyard wrestling gimmick portrayed by Peter Wills, who currently wrestles for the Corporation of Trampoline Wrestling (CTW).

Background
The Demon gimmick was introduced shorty after Wills joined CTW in September 2008, at the age of eleven. With Wills' favorite professional wrestler being The Undertaker, he decided to create The Demon: a demon in possession of a human with a gimmick that pays homage to The Undertaker. More recently, The Demon also began drawing inspiration from American musician Marilyn Manson.

Character
The Demon possesses supernatural powers, such as being able to cause electronical devices to malfunction, control lighting in a desired area and teleport through complete darkness (characterised by the tolling of an ominous bell), as well as the ability to speak Latin, which he occasionally utilises in his rare promos. Visually, The Demon resembles both The Undertaker and Marilyn Manson, combining the ring attire of the former with the dark cosmetics of the latter (circa the Antichrist Superstar era of 1996 to 1997). The gimmick's in-ring style is a balanced combination of powerful throws, quick strikes and even aerial manoeuvres. Despite this, however, The Demon primarily relies on his endurance and ability to intimidate his opponents in order to defeat them, as well as relying on his (usually heel) opponents to make a mistake, which The Demon will attempt to capitalise on.
