ALIGNMENT
Roy believes they are beloved heroes, but The Punch Line is seen as a group of cocky, overconfident heels that fans love to hate.
PERSONALITY
Roy Vezina is the outspoken, self-assured leader of the group, embodying the confident swagger of a star hockey captain. He’s loud, proud, and always ready to remind everyone of his greatness, using inside jokes and trash talk to rile up both his opponents and the audience. Roy plays the arrogant leader, shifting effortlessly from lighthearted banter to intense aggression when things get heated. He’s a master at manipulating the crowd’s emotions, keeping them on edge with his playful arrogance.
Harv Norris is the low-key, deceptively charming strategist of the team. He’s the heart of the group, balancing Roy’s loud confidence with a friendly grin and clever charm. Beneath his jovial nature lies a calculating wrestler who sees every match as an opportunity to outsmart his opponents. Harv uses his everyman appeal to catch opponents off guard, often luring them in with his laid-back demeanor before systematically wearing them down. His role within The Punch Line is to provide both support and subtle cunning, keeping the group grounded while adding depth to their schemes.
Rick Hull is the intense, no-nonsense enforcer of the trio. Outside the ring, he’s grounded and pleasant, valuing his friendships with Roy and Harv deeply. However, Rick has a strong sensitivity to any jokes or jabs involving his family, particularly his mother, which can cause his usually calm demeanor to flare up unexpectedly. In the ring, Rick’s focus shifts to pure intensity, channeling his aggression through sharp, precise strikes and calculated brutality. His hard-hitting style and serious energy make him the perfect muscle of The Punch Line.
RING ATTIRE
The trio maintains a unified look with their red and white gear, each featuring a prominent maple leaf emblem. Roy wears tights while Harv and Rick opt for trunks, representing their cohesive Canadian pride.
CASUAL ATTIRE
The group often sticks to their ring gear with the addition of a matching red and white t-shirt. Roy sometimes adds extra flair with sunglasses or a jacket to enhance his image as the “star player.”
WALKOUT ATTIRE
All three members enter with the Canadian flag draped over their shoulders, proudly displaying their national pride. The confident strut and relaxed camaraderie add to their cocky image as they make their way to the ring.
WALKOUT THEME
“Punch Line” by Pollo House Productions
ALLIES/RIVALS
El Cerdo Mostaza/Ryan Samuels: Roy’s former client turned bitter rival.
Kalidah and the Ambush: Blood feud stemming from a sneak attack from Roy on Kalidah that almost left Kalidah blinded.
BRIEF HISTORY
The Punch Line was formed when Roy Vezina’s former client, Ryan Samuels, faced visa issues in Japan, leaving Roy without a partner to elevate his career. Roy quickly pivoted, recruiting two standout wrestlers in Harv Norris and Rick Hull to create his own trio. Seeing potential in Harv’s strategic mind and Rick’s striking power, Roy established The Punch Line to dominate the wrestling scene with a blend of arrogance, cunning, and hard-hitting offense. United by their Canadian pride and shared goal of success, The Punch Line is committed to staying on top, even if it means bending the rules to get there.
PREVIOUS INJURIES
None.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Roy doesn’t shy away from bending the rules or taking shortcuts whenever the opportunity presents itself. While Harv and Rick tend to play by the book, they’re not above capitalizing on Roy’s distractions or taking advantage of a weakened opponent if it means gaining an edge in the match.
RING STYLE
Roy Vezina is a showman at heart. While his technical skills are often underestimated, he focuses on creating moments that will trend online or leave a lasting impression. Roy blends basic fundamentals with dramatic flair to ensure he’s always the center of attention, using flashy techniques and taunts to provoke his rivals.
Harv Norris is a methodical technician. He approaches every match with a strategy, targeting specific limbs and working over his opponent relentlessly. Harv excels at exploiting openings, using classic holds and joint locks to grind down his competition.
Rick Hull is a powerful striker. He delivers devastating kicks, elbows, and chops with precision, using his intensity to dominate his opponents. Rick’s style focuses on pure aggression and force, making him a constant threat in any match.

SIGNATURE MOVES
