Character Description
Bruce Lee once said "I don't fear the man who's practiced a thousand kicks one time each, I fear the man who's practiced one kick a thousand times." He failed to add any corollaries about non-damaging wrestling maneuvers or people with legitimate, clinical mental disorders. Basically, Nelson is the master of the double underhook but can barely muster up the confidence to even do a move without one, and Presagio is a paranoid, jumpy weirdo who loves pins so much he attempts them constantly, regardless of practicality. Basically they're obsessive nutbars who were made for... not exactly each other, maybe, but they're learning to cover one another's many flaws.
Appearance
Nelson is some geek of indeterminate ethnicity. He might be Thai or might be Moroccan for all anybody can tell from his face. His hair is luxurious and his tights are weird baby blue. Presagio is some lucha geek with a big green "3" on his yellow mask and trunks.
WiR Career
Early Days
After appearing as the worried servants of Alex Perilmorde in vignettes and accompanying him to the ring at WiR Presents WiR Presents on December 24, 2017, the two debuted on the January 15, 2018 edition of House Party wrestling in a tournament to determine spots for the SSDY 2018 Tag Team Fatal Four Way Championship Match. In that match they would face Appetite for Revelation, GoonSquad, and NAFTA, with NAFTA ultimately winning by pinning one of the members of GoonSquad. However, S.P.E.C.I.A.L.I.S.T. would get another chance soon, in a "Last Chance Battle Royale" in which the winner would get the last slot in the championship match. The two would win that match but would be nervous about the title shot - Alex Perilmorde would promise to train them further and in the meantime they helped Perilmorde in his hunt of Charlie Krieger, his attack on Buster Bravado, and his historical research. Presagio would fight Perilmorde in a training match and lose. Soon they would also get an unusual text message. At Same Shit Different Year 2k18 they would get their title shot but ultimately NAFTA would win the titles in the ladder match. On the following House Party, Presagio would have a singles match against Kristi Slater and soundly beat her. Nelson and Presagio would also be involved in training Stephen Romero.

Entrance Music
Entrance Description
These guys look completely freaked out every time they come out to the ring, clinging to each other but generally putting on brave faces of weirdo determination. They may attempt to go for their own mastered moves on each other while going to the ring in a security blanket measure.
