Sobriquets: The Great Marquis of Hell Height: 6'4" Weight: 305 lbs From: The River Styx Entrance Music: Burnt Offerings by Iced Earth Signature Move: Grand DeceptionElectric Chair Driver
Finishing Moves: The Blessed HellrideDangan Bomb
Heel Career Highlights: Managed by Father James Mitchell (August 2011–August 2014) Harnessing super-human strength, Marquis Shax is a frightening specimen. In the ranks of the TWF's big men, Shax is not the biggest in stature, but he has already shown that he should never be underestimated, pulling off moves on much larger opponents with comparative ease. Shax's attempts to stretch himself however would be his undoing, until the arrival of the Sinister Minister, Father James Mitchell to the TWF, who formed the most frightening tag team in TWF history by teaming Marquis with fellow Hell's Henchman Jimmy Thornton for a devastating combination.

Name: Maxx Nova
From: Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. Entrance Music: Blood Shot by Blues Saraceno Signature Move: Body Splash Finishing Moves: Drive TimeFolding Powerbomb
Heel A former lacrosse player to a high standard, Nova found himself in a hole after an injury put to an end a possible career in the sport. Nova grew up a professional wrestling fan in a state with a pedigree of excellent mat technicians, eventually found his way into several impressive independent shows in the United States, which attracted the attention of talent scouts for the TWF's development company, PWC. Nova jumped at the chance to join the organisation and forged an impressive path with a long win streak in the company. Nova eventually joined the TWF in late-2011 and took out his frustration at his failed lacrosse career and longer than usual route into the TWF on the fans, who he claimed "never liked him anyway", citing his accomplishments will be in spite of them.

Name: Rocco Bellandini
From: Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. Entrance Music: Enemies by Shinedown Signature Move: Sicilian Slice Finishing Move: BellandorStraight Jacket Suplex
Heel Bellandini grew up as a second-generation American to a family of Italian immigrants in Cleveland. Almost immediately after turning to professional wrestling, Rocco showed he was a force to be reckoned with and became one of the most dominant PWC Champions in history. His spell was so dominant that it immediately made the TWF stand up and take notice, as Bellandini was not originally in PWC on a TWF contract, a rarity. With the departure of the Partners in Crime, Bellandini stepped up to proclaim himself the hero of the little man, with his fiery Italian attitude mixed with his American braggadocios making him a tremendous competitor.

Heel Career Highlights: 2013with Isaac Dyer as Thriller Instinct Tag Team of the Year
Growing up on the North of England hardcore music scene, Ross Lee stood out by a mile as the impressive looking young man who would second many of his friends in the scuffles in the mosh pits. Incredibly, Ross would maintain his good looks despite the many scrapes he would get himself in. Using his impressive fighting skills, Lee almost fell back wards into the TWF and has already gained a huge following. Lee's impressive run in the 2011 King of the Ring, where he reached the final only to lose to the more experienced Connor Kelly, endeared him to more fans. Lee had an incredible 2012, picking up impressive singles victories and earning the All‐Action and Television Championships. Ross was close to earning the Breakout Performer of the Year, but his greatest success to date came in 2013. Lee formed the popular Thriller Instinct tag team with the laid back Isaac Dyer and the duo upended the dominant eVo duo of John Harper and Mick O'Brian to win the World Tag Team Championship, the same belts that once adorned the waists of their heroes.

From: San Diego, California, U.S.A. Entrance Music: Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row Signature Move: Riot Act Finishing Move: Makin' a MessDouble Underhook Brainbuster
Face Career Highlights: First Ever TWF All‐Action Champion 2008 Rookie of the Year Formerly Managed by Sarah Thomas (2010–2011) Member of Genesis (2010–2011) and Power, Money and Beauty (September 2013–2019, a subsidiary of J.E.J. Enterprises) Sebastian is loud and cocky. This is what has made him a thorn in the side of many during his short tenure in the TWF thus far. The charismatic Californian has made an impression with his searing voice and constantly heeds references to "reading the Riot Act" and "makin' a mess". Gross is able to back up his talking with his wrestling, which is nothing but first class. Despite his tendencies, one of his trainers in the past has pointed him out as being a potentially huge star in the Total Wrestling Federation in years to come. Sebastian made the biggest impact of his career thus far in vicious matches with Eddie McBrain. The two's feud caught the attention of many and their final match in three successive pay‐per‐views, in the finals of the All‐Action tournament, surprised many and finished fourth in match of the year voting in 2008. In 2010, Gross regained the All‐Action championship and found himself under the tutelage of Sarah Thomas, who felt that Gross was merely treading water in the TWF. Despite being a member of Genesis, Gross would still fail to make a big impression under Hawke returned to the TWF. Gross and Thomas were responsible for driving the former TWF World Champion away and Gross finally looked to be put on the map. However, after Sarah Thomas left the TWF, Gross again found himself treading water until he teamed up with Byron Pryce to form Hostile Intent, a devastating tag team that quickly rose up and became champions in September 2013.

Face Without question, one of the most explosive athletes to ever compete in the squared circle, Sin Nombre is an enigma. Very little is known about the masked luchadore other than he began his career in Monterrey, Mexico at a very young age, wrestling (often illegally) in underground federations and beating many more established and powerful competitors due to his incredible speed. A tape of Nombre's match fell into the hands of a TWF official who recommended the company seek out the exciting young star and he joined PWC in 2010, becoming an overnight sensation, showing off incredible moves never seen in a ring before. Nombre quickly joined the TWF roster in late-2011 and TWF fans joined PWC fans in awe of the incredible Mexican, who looks to be one of the most dominant All‐Action champions in history.

The looks (which has made many swoon over his affections in his past in BCW), the skills (his athleticism is second-to-none and he is a perfectionist) and the charisma. Granville has continued in the TWF to gain the attention of his BCW classmates such as Mike Haggar and Victor Ortega. Tobi found himself a good tag team partner in the iGangsta, Hulmes, and the two became a great tag team with a throwback to the tag team heyday of the 1980s. However, at Deadly MindGames 2009, Hulmes attacked his partner and signalled the end of a great tag team. The two have never been the same since, with bloodied battles in both Last Man Standing and Revenge matches, bringing a whole new level of intensity to the famous match types. Granville gained the biggest matter of revenge in the rivalry when he pinned Hulmes for his first major singles accomplishment in the TWF, the Intercontinental Championship, at Summer Break X. His rivalry with both Haggar and Hulmes, both members of the Foals, saw Tobi be taken under the wing of the Metal Militia. Granville would ultimately prevail over both men in high profile singles matches, and Tobi was responsible for Hulmes's TWF departure, defeating him in a Loser Leaves Town match at Against All Odds 2010. When the Militia disbanded after Summer Break XI, many expected Tobi to fall away, but he instead did quite the opposite. His breakout contest would be against NJS at Halloween Hell 2010. Having almost won the TWF World Championship just a month earlier in the House of Pain, Granville showed he could hang with the big boys in an impressive outing. After her partnership with Rob Green came to a bitter end, Jessica signed up Tobi as her next client and the duo's partnership was one of the strongest in recent history. After defeating Mike Haggar once and for all in a featured match at Summer Break XII, Tobi again set his sights on the TWF World Championship, but his world changed forever at Dangerously Serious 2011. Granville was involved in a car accident prior to the event and would miss almost six months of action, returning to find the TWF a different place to where he left it, with Jessica also managing his friend Victor Ortega. As most TWF fans now know, Jessica and Victor double crossed their friend to advance their own careers, and after they humiliated Tobias at Summer Break XIII, it appeared to be a smart move for both. Tobias however, decided this was not to be, embarking on an inspiring run to the Gold Card final in May 2013 and would win the Card, exchanging it at Summer Break XIV, in the Bridgend Dome, a venue he dreamed of headlining in his youth. The dream came true at Summer Break and as well as becoming a Triple Crown winner, Granville held the championship he craved.

Finishing Move: Vanity SellsDouble Underhook Canadian Backbreaker Drop
Face Notes: Mentored by Mr. BIG. Daniels will be familiar to those who watched HDW in 2005 as the much-maligned young Canadian was often featured. Detested by his peers for being two young, too brash and too untrained, Daniels seemed to have hit a dead end until one man saw potential in the young superstar. As it turned out, Daniels and his mentor at the time, Mr. BIG, found much in common and Biggie took Daniels under his wing. When HDW closed, the two men fell out of contact, but a chance meeting in 2009 saw Daniels brought back into the fold after his career, unfortunately as many expected, wondered without much direction. Daniels found PWC however to be more homely, and he flourished under the tutelage of the PWC training staff, arguably now reaching the levels that his peers always thought he could reach.

2014 Breakout Performer of the Year Put 'Em in the Grave voted Best Finisher in 2015 Member of The Entourage (2008–2012) Employee of J.E.J. Enterprises (February 2014–2018) Trained by Mr. BIG. As one half of Technically Superior, Zero has become part of one of the biggest shifts in TWF history. With his partner Disturbed, Zero has lead the tag team ranks through a form of change, dominating the division since their arrival into the Total Wrestling Federation. They have already become the most successful team in the TWF's history, winning the TWF Tag Team Championships on five occasions. Zero and his partner then added to their dominance by aligning themselves with The Entourage and Alexis Polaris. Along with Justin Polaris and Nytro, the sharply dressed quartet seemed intent on pulling the strings in the TWF for years to come. Zero's singles career is arguably superior to that of his partner so far, picking up an incredible victory over Marz in January 2010, which led to a challenge from his tag team partner, his teacher, Mr. BIG. The two men's encounter for the Television Championship on the first ever three-hour edition of Grit BasH is widely regarded as a modern classic, despite Zero's defeat. He would more than make up for it just a month later when Zero pinned BIG at Madison Square Garden to regain the championship.
