## Biography

### Joining the DWL

Bobby Pin and Rooster prepare for a sold-out show at the DWL and rehearse their match. However, Bobby laughs when Rooster performs a move, which annoys Rooster, as Bobby was supposed to sell the move and pretend it hurt, even if there's no crowd. He then instructs Bobby Pin to deliver an elbow from the top rope so that he can show the newbie how to properly sell a move. However, when Bobby Pin lands on Rooster, he actually hurts him. Crystal explains to Bobby Pin exactly where he went wrong and advises him on how to better perform the move. And when the time comes for him to perform the elbow in front of a crowd, he executes it without incident.

Bobby Pin arrives at the DWL covered in blue body paint after returning from Atlanta to be an extra in a superhero film. While he actually never got on camera, he has taken a liking to his new appearance and has decided to make it his new character — "Turquoise," but Willie turns him down as she enters the locker room to fix the smoke detector.

### Main event with Ace

Diego and Apocalypse sneak a Smirnoff Ice into Bobby Pin's bag, and after he discovers it, they force him to get down on one knee and chug the entire bottle as tradition. When Ace arrives, they give him a main event ice as well, which he chugs. Rooster enters with an attitude after learning that Bobby Pin, who just got to the DWL, is already in the main event match with Ace. Bobby attempts to cheer Rooster up and puts a Smirnoff in his urinal, but Rooster isn't amused.

During his match with Ace, Ace makes his heel turn. He low blows Bobby Pin and kicks him in the head to secure the victory. Ace and Bobby then return backstage to a standing ovation, but Ace is in a less than celebratory mood.

Bobby calls his parents from on top of the water tower to tell them about his first main event match. He thanks them for being the greatest parents and always supporting him.

### Creating a new character

Bobby asks for Crystal's help in creating a new character for himself. Willie wants to continue his story with Ace, but she says that his gimmick sucks. So, he wants Crystal's help with generating a new gimmick. He plays her a new song he's been working on, but she isn't convinced that the rap route is right for Bobby.

Crystal sketches a picture of what she believes could be Bobby's new costume. His new name should be "Bobby '85," as he already has the mullet to match. Afterward, they go for ice cream, and Bobby thanks her for helping him come up with a new gimmick. Two kids then run up and asks for a photo with Bobby. Crystal remarks that he's going to be a great face, whereas Ace on the other hand wasn't so good with turning on a smile.

Bobby arrives at Crystal's with his costume and goes to the bathroom to try it on. Bobby intends to tell Jack and Willie that she helped with his gimmick, but Crystal insists that he doesn't, as she's just a valet. While Bobby will respect her wishes, to him, she's more than a valet. She's smart and talented. If anything, she deserves the push. Crystal then comes to a realization that he should just stick to being Bobby Pin, who is a good guy by her account. The two then get a text from Jack, announcing that they will be filming a promo for the DWL.

### Rivalry with Ace

Bobby and Crystal learn from Jack that she's being replaced as Ace's valet. Ace and Crystal will go down to the ring together, but Ace is then going to grab a mic and tell the audience that they're breaking up because he caught her behind his back with Bobby Pin. The angel they will paint is that Bobby and Crystal are in love, and they do this by staging a romantic interaction that Willie photographs. However, when it comes time for Ace to expose Crystal, she seizes the moment and reveals to the crowd herself that she's been cheating on Ace and provokes him further by kissing Bobby Pin. Ace is so upset that he breaks Bobby's leg during their match.

Bobby has been released from the hospital and attends baby Shelby's christening, where Crystal apologizes to him for providing Ace, and Ace apologizes to him for breaking his leg, but Bobby Pin doesn't blame Crystal and forgives Ace.

### South Georgia State Fair

Bobby is the special guest referee for Ace, Jack, and Wild Bill's three-way ladder match. However, when Wild Bill craps his pants, and Ace begins attacking Jack for his betrayal, it is left up to Crystal to secure the belt and win the match.

## Skills and Abilities

Bobby is not as skilled as some of the other wrestlers within the DWL, as he's relatively new to pro wrestling, needing a bit of coaching from Crystal and Rooster to execute his top rope elbow.
