“Pleasure to meet you both,” he greeted the dogs. Almost as if they could respond to him. But so far, they hadn’t shown any signs of attacking him, but Lindsay knew better than to push. “This lot are my cousin’s. I don’t know how she keeps them in check, but I guess I need to add more to their run today to get them more tuckered out.”
His clothes were still damp, and he wasn’t exactly prepped for a runback. Even though his clothes were quickdry, the wet chafing wasn’t ideal for anyone. “Do Rodney and Sparks like fetch?” He knew Aofie’s did and it would allow him to recover a bit from his fall. Also to let him stand and get some sunshine. Lindsay wasn’t in a rush.
“I mean, did you steal their voices when they did?” he asked, lifting an eyebrow. If Aofie taught him anything, that the Disney cartoon movies were quite great. The Little Mermaid being one of his favorites. “I would’ve…make them squirm a bit. But I think it’s a nice name,” Lindasy offered, with a truthful smile.
Finding that he wasn’t enjoying his feet getting wet further, he stepped onto the sand and slipped off his sneakers. Yikes was that a bad idea – but might as well enjoy the sand and salt. “You have some beautiful dogs there. What are their names?” Lindsay inquired, hoping that the question would lessen some of the awkwardness. His cousin’s dogs were off doing their own thing anyway, ignoring the 101 Dalmations knock-off greeting.
Lindsay waved a hand. “No, I’m fine. I’ve hit my head before, and nothing similar. Though, I have a feeling I have some sand burn...but I guess I could lie about that, too. Fought a sea bear, maybe?” He refused her hand and stood up, the dogs taking that a sign to go sniff the other dogs, before prancing about. At least they showed that they cared briefly, making sure he was still breathing. Some animals couldn’t give a living fuck. Aofie at least trained her dogs well. She needed to, with all the weird men that seemed to be coming into her life.
“Name’s Lindsay Walsh. Yes, yes go on...” he laughed, knowing full well what comments often followed. “I promise you; it is indeed a unisex name. And what is yours?” Lindsay asked, wringing out his hair. He pried some more of his wet strands away from his neck, before wrapping everything back into an even messier bun.
Lindsay dint quite know why his cousin needed all these massive dogs. He loved them, there was no denying it – but my god. Aofie wasn’t exactly built like Linds, if anything, she was about half his size in height and weight, but she managed to deal with her three Irish wolfhound mixes. Lindsay could deal with them, too, but it was if children knew when mom or dad wasn’t around. Their behavior tended to change from well-behaved to slightly below that.
But here he was, stuck with Finn, Jensen, and Tilly. Three massive fiends bounced down the pebbles of the beach. Aofie was working late today and needed him to take her three dogs out. Of course, Dublin couldn’t do it either because he also had work. Maybe Lindsay needed to work Sunday, too – but out of his current family, he wasn’t available on the weekends.
The afternoon weather was bright, but the sun wasn’t too harsh. It wasn’t like Texas, where stepping out – all the moisture on him left. He had already built a decent sweat though, chasing these giant furballs through the woods and then into the edge of the beach.
Waves crashed, revealing glittering pebbles and sand. Lindsay felt like he needed to be riding a horse or something, like Fabio. Is that what women liked? Or was it the Harry Styles type now? He truly was lost in thought, only realizing he had lost control when he found himself damp. Screw that, soaking. And three dogs splashing around him. He had no idea what had happened. But it wasn’t the dogs that were prancing around him that made Lindsay embarrassed, it was the fact that he was looking up at the face of someone that was equally stunned at his presence.
“Uhhh...I promise my name isn’t Eric,” he said, not really comprehending what left his mouth. Lindsay really should’ve just sat up and run off, but the water felt good after his run. But his brain was finally wired to the right place, and he sat up. It was a good thing that he didn’t have his phone on him or his full wallet. “Lie to me and tell me I fell gracefully, and not over the air,” he laughed, pushing some wet hair off his forehead.

the appearance
face claim• Can Yaman
identifying features• Lindsay is a tall man at 6'-2" with a muscular build. The man loves a good workout and taking care of himself, which is very visible in his body. He usually sports shoulder-length hair, but that can change depending on the season. It's rare that he never has a beard, as being clean-shaven feels odd to him.
likes • dogs, exotic birds (has a blue & gold macaw), climbing (trees & rocks), whiskey sours, grilling dislikes • nosy people, non-polite fans/people, parents who force their dreams onto their kids, fruity and sugary drinks strengths • wrestling, horticultural, tree health, landscaping, keeping peace weaknesses • keeping an indoor voice (family is a bit boisterous), can be a bit harsh with words (i.e. breakups are always straight to the point), his mom's cooking (especially her Irish soda bread and cheesecakes) dreams • support his parents until they part this world, start a bird rescue and sanctuary (or at least begin to volunteer at one), enjoy life to its fullest fears • students getting hurt badly during matches, his gear failing, not having enough work, not keeping a good legacy overall personality • Lindsay is a very loud individual, whose voice carries at a normal tone. The poor man rarely understands what an indoor voice is, mainly from his former career – and his family also being equally as loud. But will happily whisper and keep quiet if asked, though holding back his laughter might be the biggest issue.
He’s a bear of a man, with a warm heart. Lindsay can be a bit of a jokester but means no ever-lasting physical harm. Just the casual, popping out to scare someone – or whipped cream to the face. While coaching, he’s a firm but empathetic individual. He doesn’t believe in pushing someone past their limits – even if their parents claim their son or daughter deserves to go harder and stronger.
His love for his job is strong, as he likes the idea of being able to help people understand the trees and the botany around them a bit better. He’s in the business of convincing people to keep healthy trees if they aren’t impeding or possibly being a future risk.
Lindsay can be very loyal to those that are as loyal to him. He has a lot of love to give to his friends and family, and his eventual partnership with the one. There are times he can get annoyed and lash out but will quickly apologize for his actions. He’s just out there living his best life and taking things day by day.
the history
father • Philip Walsh, 52 - retired, volunteer mother • Tonia Walsh (nee O'Connor), 50 - retired, volunteer siblings • -- -- 30 -- -- 29 important people • Aofie Fianna Walsh , cousin DUBLIN LIAM DE BRÚN , cousin hometown • Hickstead, UK → Austin, Texas → Hickstead, UK overall history • Lindsay was born in Hickstead, Uk but moved to Austin, Texas when he was young with his younger siblings and parents. He grew up in an eccentric and art-based family, where his parents had mish-mash fashion – and wild ideas. His father was an arborist and a wrestling coach, while his mom was an art teacher.
Growing up, Lindsay was a bit of a dramatic kid. He enjoyed the life of the theatrics, claiming he would be a child star or something along the lines. His love for the drama got him into watching the WWE. It was the time he spent with his father, their little secret almost. While he would later learn it was a mix of reality TV and wrestling, Lindsay was hooked. His favorite was, and still is, Diamond Dallas Page. The undertaker comes in a close second.
Following his father’s footsteps – Lindsay began wrestling at the age of ten and hasn’t stopped since. In college, he decided to apply for the WWE. It was kind of a joke, a silly drunk thing. Lindsay didn’t really remember doing it until the company called him for tryouts. He didn’t get it in his junior year, but after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Arboriculture and hard work – Lindsay made it.
His stage name was Cottonmouth Kenny, and his desired outfit of choice was a slick cowboy hat and leather holsters. Finishing move, The Stinger. Lindsay flourished, taking in the building fame. Despite the money coming in, Lindsay remains a humble man. When his wrestling career was slow – he would help his father with his business.
After nine years in the business, Lindsay become tired of the fame – retiring from the WWE at the age of thirty. While he is grateful for the experiences, he was ready to slow down and enjoy himself. His parents shortly retired after him, wanting to return to Hickstead. Lindsay followed and built his own arborist business in 2021.
The town is far from what he remembered it being in his younger years, but Lindsay is enjoying the small-town feel. While not working, he spends time with his family. There are times he’s recognized by fans, but if they’re polite – will gladly take a picture with them or sign a poster. Even though he isn’t actively wrestling, Lindsay can still be found at conventions or helping coach the secondary school wrestling team.
