Brief Bio/History: Grew up frequently wrestling with friends on trampolines at home. Sold everything he had so that he could go to Mexico and learn how to be a luchador. He became an overnight success with the crowd loving the fact that he was taller than most luchadors. All was great, until one month where he lost his mask, his girlfriend left him, and he missed his mother’s death back in Wales. He transformed from a happy-go-lucky character into being a loner who avoided all contact. However, he later found education as a way of getting over his problems. He went to good schools and travelled to Mexico on a world tour, where he fell in love with ucha libre. Used his intellect to win a game show and used the money to become a pro-wrestler. His melanchlic insecurities have led him to believe he is still better than anybody else, and he is therefore very condescending.
He then entered WZCW, where despite winning the adulation of the audience and the tag team titles, he descended into a life of drug and alcohol abuse. and sexual addiction, a story completely unheard of in wrestling. In the time he has been away, this downward spiral continued to the point he had a near death experience whilst driving his car intoxicated. Now, having been to rehab, he has returned to the fray looking to make amends for wasting years of his career.
Frequently had the Mr. Kennedy treatment due to injuries curtailing his push. Here to make it happen this time.
Entrance Music:
Entrance Description: Garth walks down to the ring purposefully, carrying a bottle of water. On the way down to the ring he looks into the camera, John Cena style and says something specific to the match at hand. On the way down to the ring, he takes his local sports shirt off and gives it to a fan in the audience. When he gets to the ring, he slowly climbs in, acknowledges the crowd, has a drink of the water before tossing the bottle out of the ring.
Fighting Style: Ground based, mat wrestling, with occasional journeys to the top rope
