Wrestler's Appearance: (In-ring, out-of-ring, promo, etc.)
Cpl. Punishment is usually seen dressed in full Battle Dress Uniform, usually in forest camouflage, but will occasionally switch to snowdrift or desert camo in cities and during times of year which is appropriate. He also covers his head with a bandanna in the same print as his attire (except for snowdrift camo, as he wears a mask), and appropriate camo face paint covering his face and neck (with snowdrift camo, he'll wear a snowdrift camo mask which only exposes his eyes). He is always clean shaven, with a nose that looks like it has been broken, a square, pronounced chin, and olive green eyes. He wears black tactical gloves, as well as black modular tactical body armor (which, although many opponents complain about because it provides protection against strikes, has been approved for in-ring wear), and black (or appropriate color for alternate gear) tactical knee and elbow pads over his gear. He wears either high gloss black tactical boots, or the appropriate color for alternate uniforms.
Occasionally in extremely hot environments, he'll go without wearing the uniform top, and will instead wear his modular armor over an olive or brown Under Armour shirt.
When seen out of ring or in promos, he may be wearing the same exact gear, but can sometimes be seen wearing "civies" which usually consist of a black T-Shirt, black denim cargo pants or beige cargo shorts, a black bandanna and dark shades. On the rare occasions where you can see his hair, it's dark brown and cut in a high-and-tight fade.
Entrance Theme: "War Is My Destiny" by Ill Bill

Entrance (Optional): The lights go out completely. A short drumroll plays, then, as the music starts, you hear what sounds like the launch of a missile. Soon, following an explosion on stage, multicolored stobelights flash throughout the arena (think Triple H's previous entrance), and Corporal Punishment comes through the curtain. He stops at attention, snaps a quick, smart salute, then begins to quickly march toward the ring. Once he gets in the ring, he stops in the middle at attention, faces the "hard cam", and again snaps a quick, smart salute with a hateful sneer on his face and a psychotic bloodlust in his eyes.
Wrestling Styles:
A combination of Close Quarters Hand-to-Hand Combat, Super Junior (combined elements of high flying and solid technical wrestling), Submission and Ultraviolent styles. Ideally, Cpl. Punishment will utilize speed, agility, precision and efficiency, preferring a quick finish to his matches, although he is quite well known for not breaking submission holds immediately after the bell and for continuing to attack with strikes and throws after a match is over.

Wrestler's Bio/Background:
What is known about the man known as "Corporal Punishment" is that his real name (allegedly) is Jonathan Medina. He was born in Los Angeles, California, and his mother died during his birth. His father, driven into an extreme depression due to this loss, blamed his young son for the death of his mother (which was clearly not his fault) and turned to heroin and lost their house among other things which resulted in young Jonathan Medina growing up living on the streets and sleeping in alleys. It is believed that he had been severely beaten several times in his young life by other homeless people and by neighborhood street gangs. At the age of 17, Medina found his estranged father lying dead in a gutter with a heroin needle still stuck in his arm and a small trail of dried blood that had ran from the point of injection down to form a small puddle in his hand. Jonathan Medina had nowhere to go, but he was determined not to end up like his father had. He went to a nearby Marine Corps recruiting office and asked to join. The recruiters helped him to complete his General Equivalency Diploma, and then the ASVAB. He has to go through a psychiatric evaluation, and was flagged for having certain psychological... "traits"... which did not allow him to enter regular service in the Marine Corps, but was found to be favorable for certain unofficial "black ops". These, along with his natural toughness and ability to endure made him a very desirable candidate for missions we've "never taken". Since there was little record of his life beyond his birth, the Government had next to nothing to cover up about his background.
Following basic Marine Corps training, Medina then took further training along with the Navy SEAL teams in SERE - Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape. Medina excelled in training, and became an expert in reconnaissance, weapons and hand-to-hand combat. Although officially enlisted as a Marine, he rarely served in "official" Marine Corps missions and usually served in Joint Forcesm, Intelligence amd "unofficial" operations, as well as UN "Peacekeeping" missions. He was often the guy called whenever it was believed a war could be ended "before it began" with a "single shot". Furthermore, he was known not only for being excellent in such operations, but also for possibly enjoying his work "too much".
It is obviously unknown the number and nature of missions that he took, but it is believed he was let go when an operation "went bad", causing the Government to miss the chance to take out a "certain target" which later indirectly resulted in thousands of civilian deaths... He was released with a "Section 8" discharge as a way for the United States Government to cover themselves, although Medina was not actually at fault for the mission's failure and, in fact, was the only reason the hastily and poorly-planned mission had any chance of success.
Upon returning to civilian life, Medina enrolled in a program with the intent on becoming a Professional Wrestler, ran by former World Champion BoneCrusher, who is believed to be his Uncle.
Medina was originally set to debut at the "Dawn of the IWZ" show ran by the then-newly formed Internet Wrestling Zone, along with his training partner "Slick" Nick McGrath. However, contractual problems didn't allow for him to enter the IWZ until a couple of years later. Initially, he joined under the name Johnny Blaze (which he used along with partner Slick Nick as "The Terror Squad"), but soon left the active roster and began training with the IWZ training program. A few months later, he returned to the active roster under the name Beret, a name and likeness hastily thrown together based on his actual military experience. Still, as Beret, he won the IWZ InterContinental Heavyweight Championship. He sustained multiple injuries in a title defense against Chushy in the second-ever Hellbound match (A One-Hour Ironman Match inside the Hell in a Cell, with barbed-wire wrapped ropes, the fires of an Inferno match, and "random" pyro blasts), including one which legitimately caused a concussion and temporary amnesia. Because of this, they put together a storyline which reverted Beret to Johnny "Blaze" Medina. Under this moniker, Medina became the #1 Contender to the IWZ World Heavyweight Championship, and participated in the final IWZ match along with several others.
Medina also worked as a tag-team with a friend of his from the IWZ, former Navy SEAL Lieutenant Ronin BlackKnight, in the X-Treme Wrestling Federation, using the name Beret.
Soon after the IWZ closed, Medina worked a few matches on the Independent Circuit, then joined Xtreme ULTIMO Wrestling, still using the name Johnny "Blaze" Medina. He originally worked in the XUDF, xUw's Developmental Program, but was quickly promoted to the main roster, setting a record for the shortest stay in development. He intended to work a program where he was bitter about his stay in the IWZ, until he saw how other IWZ veterans were, in his opinion, constantly abused and poorly utilized. He had contended for the xUw Television Championship, but was shot in the shoulder coming out of a nightclub by a person who was aiming for another person. This kept him out of action for awhile, but Medina later returned and won the XUW Submission Championship. However, he may have came back too soon, as he eventually lost the Submission title to an armbar on the same shoulder, taking his only submission loss of his career.
Medina debuted for the Web Wrestling Federation not long before it went out of business, using the name Corporal Punishment (The renamed Beret persona). He quickly took the Federation by storm, easily winning the WWF National Championship. He never defended the title however, as he was not booked in another match.
In late 2006, Medina announced his sudden retirement from Professional Wrestling, due to his recent marriage with NWF Ring Announcer Dacia Talamandez, and the birth of their first child. He stated that he wanted to be with his new child, as his own father had abandoned him early in his life. He was this as an opportunity to not make the same mistakes.
Now, in 2011, with his child now able to travel, Medina is returning to Professional Wrestling as Corporal Punishment.
