Wrestler's Name: Rex Evans
Nickname(s) if Applicable: The Avatar of Brutality

Height: 6'5"
Weight: 231 lbs.

Hailing from: Oshkosh, WI

Wrestling Style: At his core, the striker and the grappler in Rex Evans often jockey for position. He has pretty incredible knockout power behind his strikes, but he's also capable of impressive power moves. While certainly capable of some submission moves, no one would accuse Rex of being a technical wrestler, and he is the furthest thing from a high flyer. He never breaks the rules and will never use weapons, even when they're legal.
Finisher: Unstoppable (Spear)
Signature Moves (up to 3, please): The Drop (Gorilla Press Elevated Gutbuster to both knees), Dissociation (Cross-legged Samoan Driver), Simply Taken Out (Standing STO)

Common Moves:
1. Stalling Suplex
2. Double-arm DDT
3. Lifting Spinning Spinebuster
4. Powerbomb
5. Sidewalk Slam
6. Straight Punches
7. Stiff Forearm Strikes
8. Elbow Strikes
9. Muay Thai Clinch Knee Strikes
10. Repeated Shoulder Thrusts (in the corner)
11. Mounted Flurry of Ground & Pound Strikes
12. Triangle Choke
13. Kimura
14. Cloverleaf with Armlock
15. Bear Hug
16. Brute Punch (Superman Punch)
17. Powerline (Heavy Clothesline)
18. One Way Ticket (Fallaway Slam)

Bio: Rex Evans made his professional debut in the Experts' High Stakes Battle Royal of 2012. After getting embarrassed almost immediately, Rex's opportunity to go pro seemed to get squandered before it even started, so he flew home and did what most alcoholics do: got drunk, got offended, and beat the shit out of somebody.

The kid he beat up nearly died, and so Rex's night in jail turned into time in prison. But there was a man who saw some potential in him, even in his spectacular failure. So when the Extreme Tournament came around, Talon Wilkinson pulled some strings to get Rex Evans a work permit that allowed him to travel for the tournament.

His performance in the tournament wasn't anything special, but it was better than his first time in the spotlight, and that potential paid off in Talon's eyes. So Code Red Wrestling officially hired him, and thus begun the Code Red Con era. Rex climbed the ranks of the industry over the next year, putting on an incredible performance in Survive & Conquer and ultimately becoming the CRW World Heavyweight Champion.

After CRW's doors closed, Rex - now having served his time and been released - toured the independent scene for a few months before resurfacing in another Experts promotion, SCW. Gone was his crowd favorite demeanor, replaced instead by the demons that put him behind bars in the first place. He set his sights on fellow Extreme Tournament participant Evan Envi, and embarked on a feud that would last over nine months and in the end saw the return of crowd favorite Rex and the fall of Evan Envi.

From there, Rex became the SCW Heritage Champion before take a several month break to find his missing brother. Upon returning, Rex found more success than ever, winning several large feuds and ultimately winning the Jackpot match to earn his shot at Michael Norcia and the SCW Global Championship. At Cancun Clash, Rex won the strap, but lost it shortly after to bitter rival Sandy Makel.

After a couple failed attempts to regain the title, Rex instead won the Tag Team Championship with his brother Tommy to become a Triple Crown Champion. Around this same time, Rex began a feud with reigning True Expert Champion Doug E Fresh, but Rex had a handful of injuries catch up to him preventing the match from happening, and SCW closed its doors. Due to these two facts, Rex decided to retire in the third quarter of 2016. Since then, he's been going through rehab and physical therapy and has finally been medically cleared to compete again - just in time for the return of the Wxperts.

Wrestler's Name: Scorpio
Nickname(s): "The S-Factor", "The People's Camp", "The Most Decorated Bitch in TFWF History"

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 225 lbs

Hailing from: London, England

Wrestling Style: Flips, tricks, kicks, and grit. Anything light-heavyweight.
Finisher:
1) AGR (RKO)
2) Double AGR (Double RKO - with Aaron Roberts)
3) The Glitterazi (Lariat)

2) Sashay Away (Corkscrew Moonsault)
3) Springboard Enzuigiri

Common Moves: Regular enzuigiri, running knee strike to kneeling opponent, moonsault, hurricanrana, backflip kick. 

Bio: The baddest bitch the TFWF ever saw. Scorpio started as a show-opening after-though, and finished his career as one of the most decorated and revered wrestlers in the company's history. His big break came when he first teamed with the legendary Aaron Roberts forming the wildly successful Desert Sex. The boy band won both the Tag Team Championships and the Papua New Guinean Lifetime Achivement Award... twice. They were joined by mentor and manager Créme de la Créme, a TFWF Hall-of-Famer, and soon went onto invdividual successes. In 2010 Scorpio did the unthinkable, defeating Fallen Angel to become the TFWF Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion, minutes after Aaron Roberts had claimed the Intercontinental Championship. The Teo flourished as the top wrestlers in the company, before cracks formed and a bitter rivalry was started. After a year of warring The Cobra and Scorpio went face to face at Death or Glory 2011, with Scorpio ending his best friend's career. Now a firm fan favourite Scorpio became a force for heroism in the TFWF, culminating in Death or Glory 2013 (The TFWF's final show). After having his own morality rested by the brutal Drake Mosa, and being branded a monster when he finally flipped and beat Mosa down, the two were set to go head to head. DoG saw him defeating Drake Mosa in a Last Monster Standing Match, one of the bloodiest and most emotional matches in TFWF history. Since his famous AGR from the balcony onto concrete floor the S-Factor has all but faded from the scene... until now.

Bio: Mason was born and raised in New York City by two middle class business people. While Mason was in High School, his father died during the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. As he finished school, Mason joined the US Army and eventually ended up in the Special Forces. After leaving the military, Mason got into wrestling thanks to his friend and future wife, Lucia.

Mason enrolled in Golden Boy Wrestling and quickly became the star pupil of Rick Rampage. With Rampage's pull, Mason joined Phoenix Wrestling and quickly became a major force in the company. He would go on a month's long feud with Masaru Inoue and fought for the Phoenix Wrestling title in a match called The Pentagram. Eventually, Masaru blind sidely attacked Mason, putting him in a Coma.

Months later, Mason emerged and fought his way back into the ring and Phoenix Wrestling, but he never regained the momentum he once had. Eventually, Rampage made his return by taking out his protege and breaking his spine, sending him to the hospital.

Mason's recovery was slow and long, but when he did finally recover he made his way over to Inferno Wrestling and tried to rekindle what he had lost. He continued to struggle against the top competition and eventually, the pressure to succeed and provide for his family eventually overcame him and turned the once fan favorite into a blood hungry man that would stop at nothing to succeed. This started a feud with Rowyn Starr that would cross from Inferno Wrestling to Phoenix Wrestling for a short time.

Afterward, Mason would eventually retire from wrestling and joined the staff of Boardwalk Wrestling. He would quickly make his presence known as a managing force in Boardwalk, but his time there would be short lived as the promotion closed down shortly after him taking his position.

Mason has since returned to wrestling as the leader of Mason's Pulpit in Phoenix Wrestling. They have taken Phoenix Wrestling by storm. Mason has established himself as the most dangerous man in Phoenix Wrestling while his young protege's have established themselves as some of the best up and coming talent there.

[Kenfucius]

Wrestler's Name: Sandy Makel
Nickname(s) if Applicable: The Dice, King of Risk

Height: 6'1
Weight: 226lbs

Hailing from: Ocean City, New Jersey

Wrestling Style: Jack of all trades, with an emphasis on high-flying
Finisher: Game Breaker (rope-hung Dragon Screw Neck Whip - see below)


Signature Moves (up to 3, please):
Seven Out (Dragon Suplex - Old Finisher)
Shoot the Moon (Top Rope Moonsault into Diving Headbutt)

Common Moves:
Whatever - Sandy does smart technical things and also wacky crazy things, with a nice side of brawling. As long as it doesn't defy the laws of physics it's probably something he's done or will do.

Bio:

Makel will be the first to tell you he's a legend of the game, and his bio does plenty to back him up. A Hall of Fame career in TFWF made his name, where he was both a World Champion and a winner of the company's iconic King of the Death Match Tournament, as well as the inaugural holder of the Golden Ticket.

As far as the Experts are concerned, Makel considers their events the high watermark of his career. One of only three men, alongside Black Death and Level-One, to have multiple true Expert reigns, Makel can say he outlasted over half the field of a twenty man gauntlet and was the first man to win the Extreme Tournament in Siberia.

Unfortunately, a career of success combined with a tendency to excess, as Makel, for all his swashbuckling style in the ring, found himself succumbing to his demons outside. Already a well known high stakes gambler, Makel's addictive personality led him into opiate abuse as he tried to fend off the damage of years of high risk wrestling. His TFWF career suffered, culminating in an undignified end at the hands of Jack Benevolence courtesy of a Jack's Hammer through a car windshield in 2011.

After a four year period of inactivity and rehabilitation, which saw him go through a divorce and a bankruptcy, Makel returned to the ring in Sin City Wrestling, finding the lure of Vegas and the call of the ring irresistible. He would show he still had all the skills that won him acclaim in his younger years, mixing his high flying innovation with the technical savvy of experience (including a brazen tendency towards the illegal pages of the wrestling move glossary), he claimed a SCW Global Championship reign to add to his impressive list of accolades. However, his personal life would once again take a toll on him, and after SCW closed its doors, Makel disappeared from the wrestling scene, trying to make a determined effort to kick his addictions for good.

Now fully clean and in a twelve-step program, Makel thought he was done with wrestling for good. However, the call of the reborn Experts, and the chance to finally team up with old foe turned close friend Georgie Nickles proved too much of a temptation to ignore. Whether or not he still has it in him to be the King of Risk is up for debate, but for at least one more time, the Dice is loaded, and ready to roll.

[Doug E Fresh]

Wrestler's Name: Doug E. Fresh
Nickname(s) if Applicable: "The Professor"

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 225lbs

Hailing from: Tampa, Florida

Wrestling Style: Technical/High Risk

Finisher: Grading Curve (Starts in a full nelson front flip face buster).

Signature Moves (up to 3, please):
A+ - Superkick
Flying Colors - Corkscrew Moonsault
True Expertise - Leap from top rope tornado DDT.

Common Moves: Doug is a counter wrestler. He loves basic things like arm drags, dropkicks, headlocks, suplexes, THE ABDOMINAL STRETCH, etc. However he loves going top rope for impact because he's not one of the larger wrestlers at both times where he feels he has the match wrapped up or when he needs something to mount a comeback. He's very versatile and touts his knowledge of knowing so many wrestling moves.

Bio: Quite literally the face of Sin City Wrestling and the only wrestler to have lasted nearly all 10 years of the factions existence, Doug is well know among the realm of the Experts as being the man to end the reign of Jack Benevolence. He's also widely renowned for a two year long feud with Kurt Noble that culminated with Doug defending the True Expert title in a 60 minute Iron Man match in the finals of the 2012 Extreme Tournament.

He's a 12x World Champion who holds titles from places which have known to have gone extinct being the last True Expert, the last CWC World Champion and the last winner of APW's Survive and Conquer. Psychologically, he prides himself in outsmarting his opponents but his own psyche has gotten in his way at times even as he was the leader of the Sinistry faction in SCW and the Experts where he claimed to be God.

Doug retired four years ago. He settled down. Had his first child with longtime on and off partner now wife Amber. He's forever stayed in shape as he's had access to a training school in Tampa but the questions of ring rust are there.

Bio:
At age fifteen Alexia started to get into wrestling. Being raised with a military dad, she and her siblings were always kept in good, strong shape. She joined her high school's wrestling team at age sixteen making it co-ed. When she graduated at 18, she was the only female wrestling captain her school had ever had. Immediately after high school she went into indy wrestling and started working her way up. She was the mixed tag team champ in three different indy organizations with her twin brother Juston as her tag team partner. At the age of 23, Alexia was drafted directly into the WWE Attitude Reborn. She was an immediate hit, winning the Women's Title in her debut match. She would go on to be a two time Women's champion. Giving up her title for better things. Alexia held many titles in her time in AR. She simultaneously held and successfully defended the X-Division championship, and the Intercontinental championship. She once more exchanged them in for something better. Holding her titles for so long was bad for the mid card. So the General Manager told her, you give up both your titles and you get a shot at the AR Heavy Weight Championship. Alexia didn't even really need to think about it. That title would be hers. Alexia because the first women in AR history to hold a Heavy Weight Championship. She also successfully defended it. Her protegee became the second woman, and earned the World heavy Weight title a few months into Alexia's title reign. But Alexia grew bored with the lack of competition at AR, along with all the accusations of her matches being staged and pre-determined. She was pissed. She knew she was just that great, but fuck them. She walked away from her title, and out of the AR, vowing never to return. She's been asked, and begged to go back but won't. Her protegee and good friend, Sage (Trippy) Briar, remained however, and would tell Alexia from time to time that she was a legend there. People still talked about her. About how she just walked away from it all. How she dropped everything because she wanted a better challenge. Alexia took pride in this. Not long after Trippy too would leave AR. Only a few months later Alexia joined the VWF. Where she would go on to hold three different championships four different times, and hold several other distinctions as well. She would represent VWF in both Experts and CWC. During this time she also decided it was time to follow another dream of her's and with the money she made in wrestling started her own record label, Uppir Lichey (French for Wicked Vampire). UL focuses not on a sound but on giving bands with talent a shot. It doesn't matter to her what their music is like, if she likes what they have and think they'll be big, she will sign them. Alexia left wrestling several years ago due to her boredom with singles competition and being unable to find a steady tag team partner. She's has since then, spent her time in Ireland focusing on her business and turning out a few big names in the process. Her heart has never really left the ring though, and she acts as a trainer for would be high flyers several times a week.

(Most any move that can utilize her speed. She has training in powerhouse style and is strong enough to use a few of those moves against men though it is rarely done)

Bio:
Sage Briar was raised in an old money family in Detroit. She had a goofy streak that earned her the nickname "Trippy" from her father at the age of 9. Growing up she wanted to do things for herself, and he mother always told her no. Her father, despite their good relationship, left more of the child rearing to his wife. Told by everyone she would be nothing more than the same chatelaine her mother was, at the age of eighteen Trippy ran away to L.A. She wanted to prove to everyone she had a brain and could make it on her own and in her own way. She got a job in a high priced strip club dancing for the Hollywood big wigs, and when she wasn't dancing she was getting trained in the wrestling ring.

Trippy's trainer was a man named Bruno Syikes. All he knew was the heavyweight style of wrestling, being an insanely large man himself. He was also the only one willing to train Trippy. In order to preform most of the moves Bruno could teach her, Trippy worked hard to improve her strength and muscle mass. When Trippy was fully trained, Bruno got her into some exhibition shows. No one though a woman of her tiny stature could preform such high powered moved, but looks can be deceiving. When she was twenty, Trippy signed a contract with AR, where she met Alexia. Alexia took an interest in her because of her style and taught Trippy what she really wanted to learn. The high risk maneuvers and the more fun technical stuff. Since then Trippy has gone from the powerhouse style to focus on the flying she really wanted to learn. But she continues to keep a few of Bruno's secrets in up her sleeve for a rainy day. Trippy went up the AR ladder very quickly and not long after Alexia became the first woman to hold a heavyweight championship, Trippy won the other one. The two women seemed to dominate the place.

Trippy and Alexia had quickly become very good friends, despite Alexia's distaste for people who cared too much. Also while she was with AR, Trippy met her long time significant other Ace Andrews. They've been together ever since. Though in early May of 2009 they had a baby girl. Of whom Alexia was named godmother. Now that Trippy and little Alessa are doing well and are healthy once more, Trippy wants to get back into her passion. Wrestling. With Ace in and out of VWF and Alexia constantly begging her to join up, Trippy packed up her little family and moved to Chicago, where she had just as much fun wrestling as she ever had.

Now with VWF down and out, Alexia has opened up her own wrestling company, and Trippy was the first person she invited along for the ride. Trippy once more packed up her family and moved to Cali. She sojourned in NHW for a short while but ultimately told Alexia she needed to be with her daughter, for lack of a sitter she trusted. Now a mother of two, Trippy divides her time between her family, her father's business, and training in the ring with Ace. She never fully left wrestling behind.

Bio: Born Myron Napaeae, Leander Apollo started first taking MMA/self-defense lessons at the "House of the East Side" dojo in Flint, Michigan at age fifteen along with his older sister Ayla – it was there where Leo met Robert "The Mountain" Porter and where Ayla met her eventual husband Chris Strike, both those men pro wrestlers under a company known as "GSB." It was through watching the GSB that Leander began taking an interest in pro wrestling while still continuing his MMA training with Porter. Once graduated from high school, Leander trained for three months under Bryan Cade's tutelage (thus meeting his daughter Vanessa at the time and beginning a rivalry between the two), before returning Stateside and attending Penn State University. But it was during his junior year of college that he took a major step in the continuation of his career path, as he left for Tampa Bay, Florida instead of doing summer classes, where Chris Strike's best friend of many years Lyn Dallins agreed to train him. Within that summer, Dallins made a rough around the edges MMA trained kid into a solid striker with a basis in proper technical wrestler with some extra nasty submissions to resort to in case the first two didn't work out. Once his junior year was finished, Lyn used his connections in Europe to get Leander some work in Germany during the summer of 2009 – and it was there where Leo stayed for an entire year, finished his schooling and met Andreas Lasiewicz, who mentored him and in turn, helped mold him into a man who went undefeated for more than two years in singles competition.

But it was at the Extreme Tournament of 2011 that Leander began making a name for himself on the world stage, emerging from unknown to star by winning his way through preliminaries and into the knockout stages. However, that was only the starting point of Leander's journey – as he shortly made his way into companies such as SVW and TFWF as a competitor, his biggest accomplishment being a 368-day long reign as TFWF World Tag Team champion alongside Jason Proctor – the second longest in the company's eighteen year plus history. He eventually also found work with Code Red Wrestling, where he faced off against some more big names of the professional wrestling scene at the time and eventually won the CRW Primetime title before this company, too, had to close its doors.

Apollo's next stop was perhaps one of the most pivotal of his career, as he found himself signed by Platinum Dynasty Wrestling, where he eventually got an opportunity and captured the PDW Cyber title, a championship that he would hold and defend until being defeated by Zero McHannon in a unification match for his belt and the Bloodshed title at Reckless Endangerment III. Once recovered from an injury shortly at the hands of Brett Sands, Leander received an offer from mega-Japanese company "Apollon Media" to be one of its new representatives, sponsored in full as a duo attraction alongside Vanessa Cade, who had been a part of that conglomerate for nearly a year. Now, having gone from being the "Red Comet" to the "Golden Comet" to better coordinate with his own partner, the tandem with the name of "Generation of Miracles" bestowed upon them by their company has come together and begun to make some waves around different company's shows in Japan. It wasn't long until EXODUS Pro took notice during their Japan tour...and it wasn't long until Leander Apollo and Vanessa Cade came into the scene, winning the EXODUS World Tag Team titles twice during their current stay and eventually setting their sights on SVW once again, daring to step into the company with very intent of conquering the tag team division the same way they have done in the past alongside a short stint in HKW to do the same with their tag team gold.

It was a long road to championship gold for Cade & Apollo and it included having to step away from HKW in order to focus on SVW, but together, the two finally broke the drought and won the SVW Tag Team Championships in early 2017...and with it, Leander Apollo also made a new goal for himself and that was to begin capturing singles gold as well - a means to prove he was every bit as good solo as he was in a team setting. After the end of their contract with SVW, Vanessa decided it was time to take the next step as a family and a few months later, it has led to where she's now a few months away from giving birth to a baby girl and in the meantime, Leander's been wrestling in and out of HKW when a certain invite reminded him of the years past...

A Golden Ticket, a round trip to Siberia and one last chance to perhaps achieve the one thing he couldn't do all those years ago:

Being known as a True Expert.

9. Kicks [Missle dropkick, baseball slide kick, etc]
10. Moonsault [And variants including split legged]

Bio:
Georgie Nickles - to be quite honest, there isn't enough room to write a simple bio about this sort of wrestler and person.  She's a hellraiser, a rabble rouser, a crowd favorite - and once upon a time she was also one of their greatest villians when she joined up with the One Ring Circus after feeling that she had been mishandled and mistreated not just by TFWF but the Experts, and basically all and sundry.  She was a loaded weapon, and one that many sought to use and abuse, proving exactly how destructive she could be when she took out stablemate Danny Tenegra, better known as MDK, saying that it was only a matter of time before he did it to the rest of ORC, so she was going to do it first. 

However, the Rebel Child eventually saw the error of her ways, and began to attempt to atone for her multitude of sins.  Understanding the severity of the things she had done, she began yet another crusade.  This one for her own sanity, her own atonement, never shying away from what she had done; she also stood up to the likes of Slaine Roderick and his goons on more than one occassion while she spent time in Phoenix Wrestling.   Georgie Nickles is a former True Experts champion, as well as having held titles in both TFWF and Phoenix Wrestling, and even Sin City Wrestling.  Her history is bejweled with titles, but she has always been a true believer of the fact that it's not the title that makes the wrestler, it is the wrestler that makes the title.  And that past victories are nothing compared to future challenges. 

While she has been out of the professional wrestling circuit for quite a while - does not mean she has been too far from the ring, having helped build up Windy City Pro, the wrestling school her family owns, into something of a jewel in the midwest.  However, the ring is a cruel mistress, a siren unto itself - and she could not ignore the siren's song for long.  When she heard that the Experts was opening, when she found out that they were going to Siberia to unearth the old dusty legend of Jack Benevolence, she knew that she wanted in, and she wanted to do it right.  So she turned to someone that would have been at one point an unlikely ally, someone who once upon a time called her General.  She reached out to Sandy Makel, the Diceman, to make good on a 'what if' from long ago, and to team with him in this spectacular event.

Biography
A veteran of the Experts circuit, AC Thunder had the kind of humble beginnings typical of most in professional wrestler, though his rise to stardom in the Sportsnet promotion in his native Canada was fast, becoming a Grand Slam Champion (Tag Team, Canadian, Undisputed Champion) within a year of being in the company.

Ultimately, he realized bigger opportunities awaited, and he wound up joining Elite World Wrestling in 2007, winning the Television Championship once before taking a leave of absence for about a year before he ultimately returned to the company, just as it was about to rebrand as Sin City Wrestling and become a prominent member of The Experts. Though he had his lumps early on in his return, Thunder fought through the adversity to become one of the most decorated competitors in the promotion's history, and one of a select few Grand Slam Champions (Global, United, Television, and Tag Team [with Georgie Nickles] Championships), along with capturing the 2011 Vegas Cup.

SCW wasn't his only experience with Experts promotions, however, as he joined Simcoe County Championship Wrestling for the summer of 2010, capturing the Legacy Championship before having to leave due to unforeseen circumstances. In addition, after capturing the aforementioned Vegas Cup in 2011, Thunder set his sights on TFWF, arguably the biggest promotion in the game at the time. However, his time there produced a mixed bag of results, and Drake Mosa, former Warden of the Siberian Prison, ultimately retired Thunder in a Ladder Match at TFWF's Highlight Night in 2012, leaving the Canadian a bloody mess by the end of the night. He hasn't stepped into another ring since, as preserving his health ultimately became his priority. However, six years on, the burn has come back, especially as he's seen what many of his contemporaries have done on the Experts stage.

He's no stranger to the Experts realm himself, having faced Hannah Rickman at Rise of the Dragon in 2009, and a second-round exit at the hands of then-True Expert Level-One in the 2009 Extreme Tournament. His best Experts performance, however, came at On Hallowed Ground, where he survived his 5-on-5 elimination match and made it to the final five competitors in the On Hallowed Ground Battle Royale, ultimately falling after M.D.K. turned on The Experts, revealing himself as a CWC mercenary. The one thing he hasn't done in Experts competition, however, is compete in the notorious Siberian Prison.

Ultimately, he wouldn't have come back to the business if he didn't think he could at least match what the likes of Nickles, Fresh, and Tenegra among others have accomplished in Experts events, leaving him to be a forgotten man of sorts. Though he wasn't initially invited, the Golden Ticket may provide exactly the opportunity he's been looking for.

Bio: Former superstar of the TFWF, Ramon fell on some hard times when the biography of Exile came out on the eve of his most public adventure, swaying public opinion of Ramon to a very low position. With the fall of TFWF adding in, Ramon has not been seen in public eye for more than 4 years, some speculating it to be due personal reasons. A fairly athletic wrestler, Ramon captured a number of the most prestigious titles of the TFWF save for the ultimate prize, but in case you forgot he will gladly remind you of it time and time again, along with a number of great deeds and some not so great. Regardless of his arrogance, Ramon has proven himself to be a force in the wrestling community and he will cheerful to remind you that he is Jose Ramon and you aren't. Try not to be too jealous.
