Physical Characteristics

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 222-242 lbs

Monikers

"Iggy" - Quickly became the accepted short form of his Christian name, used by announcers, fans and peers alike.

"Eternal Sunrise" - Upon entering PRIME, Lisieux adopted a "solar" theme to much of his gimmick, with this primary nickname intended to suggest a never-ending rise to new heights in the wrestling world.

"Global Curse Killer" - Bestowed upon the French-Canadian following his successful retention of the Global Championship, after the previous seven champions had lost the title in their first defense.

"The MVP (MachiaVellian Protagonist)" - During his second run in PRIME, Lisieux considered himself to be the best in the company (hence "MVP" and "Protagonist") and was surreptitiously acting out a split-personality/kayfabe-breaking gimmick("MachiaVellian").

"Richard Larkin" - What Lisieux demanded to be called during the first part of his second run, considering this his "real name".

Trademark Moves

"182° DDT" - Tornado DDT from corner.
"Avian" - Asai Moonsault from the apron to the outside.
"Chain Reaction" - Between 3 and 5 rolling Dragon Suplexes.
"Infinite Eclipse" - Shooting Star Press (rare).
"Maple Leaf Lock" - Sharpshooter.
"Trebuchet" - Slingshot Senton Splash from the apron to the inside

Entrance Themes

"Million Miles Away" by The Offspring - Principle tune used to accompany Ignatius' entrances. Used entirely throughout the first-run, for the second part of the second-run and in his Colossus III match against Karina Wolfenden where Offspring performed the track live.
"And The Hero Will Drown" by Story Of The Year - Used during the first part of his second run with the company, signifying a darker time for the character.
"Surfing With The Alien" by Joe Satriani - Used throughout the third run of his PRIME career to fit his more upbeat "good guy" persona.
"Last Resort" by Papa Roach - A one-off track used in the grudge match against Ozric Mortimer at Great American Nightmare 2005.
