PIECES OF D8

 Reefback is a recognised conservation area. He has over 50 types of rare fighting coral encrusted onto his back.
Conservationists and RUMBLESLAM enthusiasts recognise that enrichment should be part of the conservation effort, and Reefback is encouraged to take to the ring whenever the tide is right. 

 Ikatere always contests Makara’s claim that he was one of the first sea creatures. Mainly because Ikatere claims that he’s the father of all sea creatures. RUMBLESLAM historians aren’t quite sure if this was meant literally or metaphorically, but have decided not to open that can of worms. 

 Bait and Switch have only recently started as a tag team! They used to be mortal enemies while working with other partners, but have since found common ground. 

 Once an actual figurehead, The Lady Luck was given life by a drunk mage on day two of aninety-day pub crawl.
Unsatisfied with her lot in life, she dreamed of joining the wrestlers that fought on her deck as a casino ship.  

 Diodon might be small (usually), but he’s actually a ravenous eater. He holds the top spot in all the local eateries challenge walls, but is currently barred from the Bilge Pump. He won’t elaborate on why, but the seafood decor going missing is a bit suspicious. 

 Captain Louis once managed to get into trouble with the entirety of the Rostani dwellers in the Diamond Oasis. They managed to smooth things over eventually, but I don’t think he’s getting that boat or that bear back any time soon. 

 Makara has had a long and successful career in RUMBLESLAM. As a Leviathan, Makara has existed since the seas were fresh. It’s said the tears of his opponents are the reason for all the salt in the sea. 

 Cap’n Thatch used to be the Captain of a large casino fleet. That was until one fateful day where his second in command staged a mutiny and shaved off his beard! After dealing with the shame (and growing his beard back) Thatch entered the ring, vowing to sink every single mutineering ship. 

 Officer Radians was honourably discharged from the navy after suffering an injury in the line of duty. Despite a series of back injuries, he walked the road to recovery and then some. Wanting to inspire others that are going the same he signed up to fight in the RUMBLESLAM ring. 

 The first Cart Crab was there at the beginning of RUMBLESLAM! Crawtacular the 1st was a simple hot dog seller until a brawl outside the ring damaged his hot dog cart. 

 Lenore always wanted to be a wrestler, though her father strictly forbade her. It was a fateful encounter with a sinking casino ship that let her escape her life under the sea. 

 Before they became wrestlers, the pirates of the Pieces of D8 used to be actual pirates! Now they make their living in the ring. As long as they keep getting booked, they keep getting a steady paycheque.
