Profiles: Alumni (A to L)

"The Masterstroke" Aaron Hill was a real stand-out in the TWF's development territory, BCW, for many years, impressing many with his speed and skill. But his options were getting increasingly limited in BCW and most of his former allies, who many claim were vastly inferior to Hill, were being promoted to the TWF roster. In 2006, after the TWF's hiatus, he was promoted to the main roster, where he immediately found himself sparring up with old partner Ron Lindberg. The two looked to dominate the TWF World Tag Team division in the way many of their heroes and idols did. Hill was originally not a crowd favourite, but after an inspiring performance at Take No Prisoners against Jon Bennetta, the fans supported the superstar. This match was arguably Hill's highlight in his initial TWF run, and he left shortly after to continue his law career.
In July 2009 after a two year hiatus and having lost an impressive amount of weight, Hill returned to the aid of his long-time friend Hulmes. He set his sights on the returning Mr. BIG and cut many promos attacking facets of the former TWF World Champion and followed this up with two extremely controversial consecutive victories over Biggie, all with the use of outside interference. Along with Hulmes, Hill founded the Foals and lead the group into battles with the Metal Militia by initially they were successful, after Marz and Mr. BIG showed their superior mind games at Dangerously Serious 2009, the Foals appeared to only fracture. After Biggie eventually disposed of the Foals in both the Devil's Den and Time Crisis matches, Hill concentrated on adding a title to his resumé but was unsuccessful at every opportunity. At the first ever Grit BasH from Margam Park in June 2010, Hill sensed an opportunity to be remembered for something bigger by retiring Mr. BIG, challenging him to a Loser Leaves Town match. With his old associate Hulmes already out of the TWF, Hill was short of any kind of assistance and Mr. BIG rid the TWF of his bitter rival.
Hill, who initially left the TWF to study law, currently ranks as one of Wales's most influential politicians.

Taylor was an intriguing character in TWF history. Taylor made his debut in 2000 as a member of The Alliance. Taylor was extremely popular with the crowd, especially thanks to his finishing move, where he would climb the top rope and mock his opponent before dropping a lethal leg drop. Taylor was also never far from controversy during his TWF tenure. Taylor infamously broke Mr. BIG's hand on an episode of SnL in 2003, and was a part of the Red Hoodie Crew that antagonised the former World Champion in the early part of 2003. Taylor was the most experienced of three men who fought Mr. BIG in a memorable Gauntlet Match in April 2003 which would also become memorable for featuring Silver's TWF début. Following this, Adam feuded with a débuting Assassin through mid-2003 whilst continuing to team with best friend Stephen Dimmock in battles for the TWF World Tag Team Titles. Taylor was the second ever TWF Television Champion, holding the title for a few days before dropping it back to Blade. In 2004, Dimmock and Taylor suffered a bitter separation with Dimmock forming the Black Hoodie Crew. After leaving the company for almost a year, Taylor returned in 2005 and became Hardkore Champion, and made his last TWF appearance in a losing effort defending the title at Summer Break VI.
Since leaving the TWF, Adam has returned to his first love by motorcycles. After selling the motorcycle dealership he established in Bridgend, Taylor returned home with his new wife to setup a specialist car engineering firm.

Adara debuted in the TWF in October 2004, and quickly established herself as a force on the TWF Women's Championship scene, surviving in one of two battle royals to create participants for a tournament for the vacant strap. Despite falling at the first hurdle that night, James has made sure her opponents since know that her ultimate goal is to become the champion, and with every match she is one step closer to achieving that goal. The Chicago-native is sure to get more title shots in the future, particularly thanks to the force of her DDT, the likes of which has never been seen in Women's wrestling before. Adara left the TWF at the end of 2010 and would return to the United States to continue her career there.

Alice Lee is best remembered in the TWF in the early days where she accompanied the duo of Team EV to the ring. Alice's older sister, Miss Emma, would also accompany the young superstars and they offered protection in the boy's matches should things get out of hand. Alice had wrestling skill beyond her age in the TWF's beginnings and formed a vital part of the women's division prior to it's creation. Alice disappeared from the TWF sometime in 2002, although reappeared at No Way BacK 2004 to accompany Team EV to the ring as part of the TWF's Fifth Anniversary celebrations.

Alexis is always at Justin's side, an ever faithful companion to the dominant superstar. Alexis was made TWF Commish by Paul Heyman shortly after he became Managing Director of the TWF, and she retained her position after Heyman left the company. Some of Alexis' decisions have earned the ire of the fans, but she insists her decisions are always "firm, but fair". Alexis was well-known as not being a big fan of Sophie, disliking the way that Sophie got to her position and says it was not through hard work, and Alexis wants to humiliate her as much as possible to get rid of her from wrestling. After Sophie defeated Alexis to become Commish, Alexis worked twice as hard to achieve her goal. After forming the Entourage with Justin, it was in March 2009 that Alexis won back her position and drove Sophie from the federation. Alexis continued as Commissioner for almost two years until she was removed from the role as a stipulation of the Devil's Den match at PayBack 2010. Ironically, after she was forced to step down as Commissioner, Justin Polaris finally won the TWF World Championship at Unleashed 2011 and Alexis finally got to manage a World Champion. Polaris continued to second The Entourage and led many of it's members to several championships, making her the most decorated manager in TWF history. Polaris remained at her beau's side as he became a lone warrior in the fight between eVo and the TWF, stating no affiliation to either side, rather only himself and his partnership with Alexis.

Young, charismatic and good-looking, Alistair O'Keefe can certainly lay claim to having the world at his feet. A lifelong fan of professional wrestling, his love of the TWF in particular drew him to south Wales for a University degree. O'Keefe soon met up through the smaller professional wrestling scene in south Wales both Matt Aish and Connor Kelly. The three teamed a lot together, but whilst Aish and Kelly received tuition from Mr. BIG, O'Keefe was determined to make it on his own. Whilst he admitted to looking jealously at Aish and Kelly's progress in the TWF, O'Keefe held back to finely hone his skills. It certainly worked, O'Keefe was one of the most popular wrestlers in PWC during his tenure there and eventually joined the main TWF roster in late-2012, gaining a large amount of fans in the process, thanks to the fans love of his PWC work.

Amee formed a vital cog in the Jocks' machine during 2006 when her experience as one of Mr. BIG's long-term ex-girlfriends helped the Jocks in their war with the Metal Militia. Amee made her début at One Night Only in the Jocks' Changing Room segment and affiliated herself with the cocky Tom Williams. It was through her friendship with his girlfriend that Gavin Henson made an appearance in Williams's corner at Easter HeAT in 2007 and in the run-up to Last Man Standing, Charlotte Church herself appeared to throw her weight behind the Jocks in the war. She remains on good terms with Church and appeared on her chat show on a few occasions as a guest. Amee disappeared at the same time as the Jocks did in late 2007. After completing a degree, became a nurse and moved to the United States in 2013.

Wilkins was a prominent part of Team EV during the TWF's early days. She would always accompany the team to their matches and would wrestle if necessary. However, a feud between the Lee sisters, who were the Team's longest serving managers and herself saw her humiliated by the sisters at Deadly MindGames 2001 and she left the TWF to continue on with other endeavours. In 2004, she made an appearance to accompany the Team once more as part of the TWF's Fifth Anniversary celebrations. Amy made a more permanent return in 2005 when she shocked the world to appear as The Shott's valet during a match with Hades. Amy hinted afterword, and at One Night Only that she knew a secret to Hades' powers and she would seek to destroy the Monster. This did not happen however as The Shott was defeated in a Loser Leaves TWF match at When Worlds Collide and Amy disappeared with him. Amy's whereabouts now are unknown.

Thompson was the often forgotten first tag team partner of the man who would become known as The Vamp. In their SCW days, the two were wildly popular for their blood spilling brawls with many of their enemies, but once the two came to the TWF, Thompson left the Vamp and showed an effeminate side to himself, which made him extremely unpopular with both crowds and other members of the locker room. Thompson is best remembered for working an extremely unpopular story with Mr. BIG, where Thompson tried to "turn" Mr. BIG in 2000. The story is often brought up and laughed at by Mr. BIG, who calls it "the worst storyline the TWF has ever run". Thompson disappeared from the TWF in 2001 after The Vamp (under his given name, Hywel Lewis), defeated him in a Steel Cage grudge match. Thompson reappeared in the RWF in 2005, with a toned-down but still controversial act which later became the catalyst for the reformation of JCVS & The Vamp as The Dreem Team.
Thompson, who is happily married, still lives in Bridgend, but is happily retired, having chosen to save his money earned from wrestling.

The masked Avenger suddenly appeared on TWF TV Screens in October 2007 and immediately set his sights on the TWF TV Championship then held by Tom Williams, endearing himself to the TWF's loyal fans. Avenger caused a huge upset to win the title from Williams, and Avenger defended his championship to the death. Avenger fought many other TWF rookies through out his reign, including Eric Herrera and Sebastian Gross, before being upended by Jack Beam in a Falls Count Anywhere match at No Way BacK 2008. Avenger remained a constant threat to the rest of the TWF, and this was demonstrated when he entered the TWF King of the Ring tournament. Not considered a favourite, Avenger defeated J-Fox, Jack Beam, Sam Allen and Sebastian Gross to win the prestigious honour, meaning he added a small crown motif to his distinctive mask design. A year later, Avenger completed a remarkable double, becoming the first man to repeat as the King, with impressive wins over Rick Majors and Jack Beam highlights of his run to the crown. Avenger grew annoyed at the crowd's lack of enthusiasm for him, blaming his successive King of the Ring victories for this and stunningly just days after winning the Intercontinental Championship, turned on the fans - showcasing a darker side to the previously popular superstar.
The Avenger's anger not only at the fans, but at the Cavalry, saw an association with Genesis. Whilst Mr. BIG took a brief sabbatical, Avenger took the opportunity to chastise his hero, leading him back into the TWF to face off against the young superstar. The two's match at Summer Break XII was an instant classic, and Avenger avenged his failure to end BIG's winning streak at Summer Break with an impressive victory at Dangerously Serious, making many realise that he was indeed a major player in the TWF. Fans did not like the arrogant ways of the Avenger following his victory over the People's Choice, but he was widely respected, especially given the force of his new finishing move. In late-2012, as the eVo vs. TWF battles waged, Avenger was coveted by the renegades and shortly after winning his second Intercontinental Championship, Avenger defected to the rebels. While not as easily trusted by some members of the eVo Army, he proved a great card in the hands of eVo mastermind, Rick Majors. Given the timing of his switch, Avenger was suspected of being a mole within the eVo camp, especially after the loss of his Intercontinental Championship. Hurt by these accusations, Avenger was proven not to be the source of the leaks, but after eVo's demise, Avenger was still not a popular member of the TWF roster.
After defeating The Assassin in one of the greatest matches in TWF history at Summer Break XIV, Avenger became one of the few men in history to hold singles victories over Mastermind, Mr. BIG and The Assassin, with whom he waged an intense and violent war in late-2013, eventually defeating his foe in a ferocious tlC match. Avenger's legitimate concerns about his value to the TWF came to ahead with a public contract dispute, that almost embarrassed the TWF after Avenger won his (long overdue) first World Championship in December 2013. After threatening to head to PCW with the belt, the dispute was resolved and Avenger returned after Christmas to win back the championship that he lost to the Assassin in an emotional contest at the end of 2013. After being defeated at Easter HeAT, Avenger would depart the TWF for several months, recovering from several injuries he had bravely sustained in defence of his World Championship. His return to the TWF in November 2014 surprised many, especially when the crowd embraced Avenger after several years of hatred.

Big Martin is a man who many consider to be the most underrated big man in TWF history. Martin debuted in the TWF in April 2005 as an opponent for the monster, Hades. However, Martin actually made his début in XCW in September 2003 and quickly made a id for himself becoming XCW Intercontinental Champion within weeks of his début. Martin was a friend of XCW Owner Mr. Job-Smith and this gave him many privileges, and a highlight of his XCW days was his partnership with the mysterious Unknown. However, Martin made his way over to the TWF, and in only his second TWF PPV appearance, upended Stephen Jenkins at Against All Odds 2005 to become TWF Intercontinental Champion, making him one of very few men to hold both the TWF and XCW version of the championship. Martin then engaged in a violent feud with The Jocks' Jason Davies, which brought him the fan's backing for the first time. The two men took their feud to the limit in February 2007, when they faced off in Tables-Ladders-Cell VI. Martin finally revealed his destructive force that night, but his force cost him the match. Martin then formed the TWF's odd couple with Deadman and the two terrorised the tag team division, engaging in a memorable feud with Disturbed and Zero that saw the TWF's first ever Shark Cage match.
Martin however left the Federation in late 2007 to begin a new chapter in his life as a highly respected geologist, a role which saw him move to Australia in late 2011.

Biographical information goes here.

Brendon Vow was a man who had it all. World title reigns in three separate companies. However, his desire for drink, drugs and women saw him spiral out of control. Losing his passion for the business, he lost it all. He gave up his career, found his fake friends wanting once his fame and money had gone and lost most of his family, however little is known about how or why. His drug addiction saw him seemingly living on the streets, where he now has a lot of connections. At his lowest point, he nearly lost his life when he was seemingly saved by a man he only refers to as "Him" or "He". Little is yet known about his redemption and personal life but small flashbacks have revealed him to be living in the Deep South, in a wooded complex with very little company. Finding redemption, Brendon Vow found the TWF calling and he made his debut at SuperBrawl in the Time Crisis match.

Bruno was a foreman for a Brooklyn construction company before he decided to try his hand in professional wrestling. Bruno may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he may be one of the deadliest. His size and power may not have allowed him to be as good a technical wrestler as he would have liked, but Bruno uses that size and power to its fullest in a wrestling ring. After dominating the tag team ranks in PWC for almost two years, Castellano finally arrived on the TWF's main roster with his Partner in Crime, Vinnie Maralini in September 2010. The two immediately set their goal as the World Tag Team Championships and in the process, they found themselves at odds with Technically Superior, beginning an incredible rivalry that has taken in several matches which have awed crowds around the globe. Getting so close but so far to the World Tag Team Championship drove the two insane and they had shown signs of throwing away what morals they have left to get the opportunity to finally hold the titles they crave. This was demonstrated when they finally won the championships at Collision Course in 2012, after some dubious officiating by the special guest referee in the match, Jeremy Ellington Jenner. A casual slip-up in conversation months later by Geoffrey the Butler revealed that the Partners in Crime had lived up to their moniker, paying off Jenner with cash and the promise of the first shot at the tag team titles. Instead of denying the allegations, the Partners in Crime embraced their new found villainy, flaunting their new found wealth and success. Technically Superior then claimed their rematch at Summer Break XIII and humiliated the Partners in Crime in defeat. After his partner Vinnie Maralini failed a drugs test, Castellano opted to leave the TWF instead of dealing with life without his partner. Castellano is believed to now be working in construction once more.

Byron Pryce arrived in the TWF having arguably not lived up to his potential at the previous stops in his career. His highlight reel was a YouTube favourite for many TWF fans who saw the lightweight's incredible offence, especially his astonishing finishing manoeuvre, as being the best in the business. However, he had many detractors in his past who were quick to eliminate his aerial threats and left him reeling. After time away from wrestling and some serious hard work in PWC, Pryce arrived on the TWF's main roster in September 2010 with one very bright spark, taking out Sam Allen and then demonstrating that there was more to him than just flashy top rope dives with a devastating submission move dubbed "Be Kind, Rewind". Pryce's new dual threat is sure to make him a favourite with fans. Pryce's singles career waned and it wasn't until 2013 and teaming up with the villainous Sebastian Gross that he truly began to live up his potential. The duo dubbed Hostile Intent were dominant in the World Tag Team division, holding the championships for almost eight months. However, just as the duo lost the championships and were hoping to regain them, Pryce turned on Gross in a Three Way Dance for the championships in April 2014. Pryce left the TWF that night and has not been seen in professional wrestling since.

She's loud and she's very proud by Chamera made an instant impact on the TWF when she upset long-time champion Libra in her first ever appearance at TWF Against All Odds 2005. Chamera only has one Women's Championship to her credit, but the self proclaimed "Queen of Essex" is desperate to reclaim her crown. Chamera also considers herself to be royalty, related through many relatives to members of the royal family, and isn't afraid to let people know of her blue blood.
Chamera left the TWF at the end of 2010 with her head held high and the respect of many after her dominating performances in the Women's division, helping the TWF's division become among the best in the world. Chamera took an extended break from wrestling, moving into acting and was cast in numerous plays. But, an offer from the WWE saw Chamera head to the organisation, where under her new alias, Becky Lynch, she showed that she had no signs of ring rust and became one of the best women's wrestlers in the world.

Marz's little sister was a main stay in the TWF Women's Division. Champozina was a capable wrestler, but she always felt she played the bridesmaid to Atomically Kool Kat, who it seemed would always be victorious in a battle between the two. When they did meet, Kool Kat was indeed victorious. Champozina was more successful in Marz's NCW, where she was the dominant Women's wrestler and their longest reigning champion.
Champozina did not return to the TWF in 2007, and has instead concentrated on more academic interests. Champozina graduated from Cardiff University and now works for the UK's largest car insurance company.

The outspoken Connor Kelly was a favourite underground DJ in south Wales who was well known for being a fan of professional wrestling, especially the TWF, who he grew up watching and idolising. His insightful thoughts on what he saw on television got him many fans who felt he best articulated what they felt. Kelly was frequently asked to be at small events in the south Wales area, lending a hand as a ring announcer, referee and commentator but ultimately dreamed of becoming a wrestler himself. Spotted by Mr. BIG in 2008, he took Kelly under his wing and many outsiders thought Kelly was fortunate to train alongside BIG as they felt he lacked the desire to make it in professional wrestling. Kelly formed a successful tag team with Matt Aish in PWC that was tremendously popular and made both men known to a wider audience. However, when Kelly arrived on the main TWF roster, he verbally destroyed the fans and friends who he remembered berating him in the early days and sided against many people who he considered friends. Connor formed a part of a short-lived trio dubbed Power, Money and Beauty and it was here that he was picked up by Gabriele Hiemler, becoming her first client in the TWF. Kelly began to live up to his billing in late-2011, winning his King of the Ring group enroute to winning the competition outright. Kelly used the momentum from his victory to catapult himself into feuds with more established TWF wrestlers, showing off a brutal and vicious side that seldom had seen.

Forming one half of the Rogers tandem, Crash was a mainstay in the TWF's tag team division for much of it's early existence. The Rogers were confident and cocky champions and often had the backing of those in power, making their title defences very easy for them, but incredibly difficult for their opposition. The highlight of Crash's TWF tenure was facing off against Mr. BIG and NJS at Summer Break V for the Tag Team Championships in one of the most memorable bouts in TWF history, ultimately losing their championships to the Z‐Pack duo. This was the last time the Rogers would hold gold in the TWF.
Rogers did not return to the company full‐time in 2007 and instead concentrated on retail management, where he worked up to a very high level in a major UK supermarket. Taking time away from his day job, Rogers became a road agent for the TWF in 2009 and was highly respected for his knowledge and showed his awareness of the company in his time away. In 2011, Rogers returned to retail management where he received a very lucrative role and as of 2015, this is where he remains.

The Defender is an icon in PCW where he has been a mainstay since the promotion's foundation in the mid-90s. He is best remembered by TWF fans for his intense hatred and rivalry with former best friend Mr. BIG, which started after Biggie accused Defender (correctly, in the end), of attempting to steal his first love and the duo's manager, Amy. The two have still not had a one-on-one match, but when they have met, they have been in violent blood-filled brawls, particularly when Mr. BIG refereed the PCW-RWF tlC match. Defender's two TWF appearances of note were in January 2001 when he formed part of a PCW team to attempt to defeat TWF "invaders" (which was unsuccessful). History repeated itself in 2007 when Defender was given an opportunity by then Commissioner, Paul Heyman, to win the TWF World Championship, but in a match that PCW had banned years earlier by the Ladder match. Despite the presence of PCW roster members during the match, Defender was again unsuccessful, but he returned to PCW to a heroes' welcome, for "giving the TWF a black eye".
Defender and Amy's 10-year romance finally ended in 2008, initially it was rumoured that the duo were cheating on each other, but years later it was revealed that this was not the case and the two had drifted apart. In late-2009, he formed part of the consortium that bought PCW and announced that they wanted to make it "bigger than the TWF". PCW was renamed and re branded and despite a cameo appearance from BIG in 2010, in 2015, the company was a shell of it's former self and was on the verge of closure. Defender had sold his share in the company and now plays semi-professional rugby union, whilst also helping out with his father's construction business as his day job.

Dougie was a fun-time, live for the moment guy, who was tremendously popular with TWF fans thanks to his charm and infectious attitude. Dougie was a competent singles wrestler, winning the Hardkore Championship on one occasion, but was best remembered for his partnership with Frekishi. The two's love of motorsport led them to be friends outside of the ring and at PayBacK 2007, the duo became TWF World Tag Team Champions. Although their reign was short, it was remembered for the celebrations held after their victory. Dougie is also remembered for being accompanied by lead singer of Paramore, Hayley Williams, to the ring for his match against Blade at Summer Break VIII.
Dougie now runs his own car repair business.

Hailing from Hammersmith, Eddie was a regular at the famous Hammersmith Apollo, the scene of many famous concerts in British music history. Eddie managed to annoy security staff at the venue so much by turning up regularly that they offered him a job as a security guard. Eddie jumped at the chance, and as a result, meant his was not afraid to let his fists do the talking. His bar brawl style made him a natural in the Hardkore Division, and Eddie managed to become the last ever TWF Hardkore Champion, an honour Sebastian Gross felt was robbed from him. The two's matches through the mid-to-late part of 2008 have gone down in TWF folklore for their brutality from two young up-and-comers who desperately wanted to prove they deserved their spot. Such was the notoriety their matches received, that their final match was nominated for TWF Match of the Year, and to the surprise of many, finished in the top 4 in voting. McBrain won his second championship in the TWF in October 2009 and in 2010, finally won the Tag Team Championship that he and his long time partner in the Synyster Youth, John Harper, craved. The duo reigned as the Tag Team Champions for many months but eventually were up-ended in the famous Three Way Dance at Summer Break XI. Signs of dissension between the Synyster Youth slowly came to the fore, especially as the duo put furthering their singles careers above that of the team. At Summer Break XII, after a loss to the rookie Connor Kelly, Harper ditched the partnership and walked away from McBrain and would later join eVo. McBrain, who saw signs the partnership was getting back to full strength, still aches from the betrayal.

Lugg did not spend long in the TWF, but he was a popular superstar, for his "take no prisoners" attitude. Lugg is a former Hardkore Champion, and it was in that division he had his most memorable moments. He had a vicious rivalry with Sebastian Gross, who defeated him on his Pay‐Per‐View debut. Lugg gained revenge for the loss by defeating Gross for his single TWF championship reign.

What ever you say about Falcon, chances are she's already said it herself. She made her first appearance in 2000 as a manager to her then boyfriend, Hawke. The two were practically in separable for most of their TWF tenure together. Falcon and Hawke pulled off one of the TWF's greatest double crosses when they conned Mr. BIG into agreeing to let Falcon (who faked a split from Hawke and was using her real name, Erika) become Special Guest Referee of a 6-Women Tag at Against All Odds 2002. Falcon screwed over AKK and ended the longest un-interrupted reign in TWF history. Falcon would become the Women's Champion a further two times and was a constant in the Women's Division. In a brief display of anger at Hawke, she pinned her former boyfriend to become Hardkore Champion for almost half-an-hour at Summer Break 2002. Falcon was not afraid to stick up for her man, which drew the ire of fans the world over, who constantly taunted her through her whole career. Whilst being able to talk a good talk, she was unable to receive quite as much back, as demonstrated in a classic promo by Mr. BIG in December 2004 which saw Hawke and Falcon argue over a blow-up doll.
Since leaving professional wrestling, Falcon has looked back largely negatively on the business and her relationship with her co-workers, who she claimed bullied her through her time. Many claim the exact opposite about Falcon and that she was big-mouthed and openly abused fellow workers behind their backs. One thing is certain by Falcon would have made a good lawyer. And that is what she has done by she moved to the South West England to set-up a solicitors.

Gareth Cole was a submission expert who joined the TWF as part of the BCW influx in 2000. "The Man" was a thorn in the side of Mr. BIG, Marz and company and was a prominent part of "The BoyZ" stable. Cole did form short lived tag teams with The Vamp and Hawke, the latter winning the TWF World Tag Team Championships. As a singles wrestler, Cole was awesome in the RWF, winning the Genesis Championship and never looking like losing it. He did have a feud with Mr. BIG over the position of bass player in his band, which he took from the incumbent Mr. BIG. The two had a memorable battle of the bands at RWF The Career Killer in 2005, which ended in a mass brawl. Since retiring from active competition, Cole and his band signed a record deal, but were quietly dropped in 2006. Cole was last seen running a convenience store in his home town of Wick.

The Rock was a charismatic superstar who shone brightest during the TWF's early days. Originally, Fox was against his public, but after memorably turning on his friend Mr. BIG one night on RAW, Fox became a fan favourite. This did not last though as he soon joined Biggie's fX and drew the ire of the fans. Fox formed part of many of FX's tag teams with the likes of Road Wild Jesse Rogers as well as Hall of Famers NJS and AJ Jeffers. Fox formed FX's tag team pairing until it's last defence at WrestleMANIA II in 2001. The Fox has bounced between many jobs since leaving the TWF. He was originally the lead vocalist in The Louder Side of Silence, then joined The Lock-Up.
Gareth was last seen as the manager of a McDonalds store in the late 2000s.

After months of hype, Hades arrived in the Total Wrestling Federation at the Eve of Destruction in September 2004. Towering over just about everyone in the TWF roster, the man from the underworld made a massive impact on the fans, who after booing him for his first few appearances, began to fall in love with the monster. In February 2005, Hades won the TWF TV Championship and looked unstoppable. With Owen Carl acting as his manager, the former TWF World Champion managed to keep Hades as his client, after much interest from Holly and The Jocks, with whom Hades had many battles. Hades completed the longest title reign in TWF history, holding the TV Championship for well over two years. In one of the most controversial decisions in the company's history, Hades lost his TWF Television Championship without being pinned, thanks to the Jocks. Hades was finally pinned after four years in the TWF by The Assassin, but he needed Mastermind's help to do so. Hades continued to be a major threat to much of the TWF, but could not seem to put away the Dangerous Alliance through much of 2008, until the surprising arrival of Ric Flair as special referee at Summer Break IX, when Hades slayed Mastermind at last. After the match, in a rare show of emotion, Hades waved to the Millennium Stadium crowd, which turned out to be his farewell.
Hades originally left to complete his University degree, but he then quit his degree to return to his first love, bodybuilding, with him now a regular competitor on the UK's bodybuilding circuit. Hades was involved with the TWF for a short time in the early 2010s, as a nutritionist and general health adviser to TWF talent, but Hades decided to spin off his business to great success. There is constant talk that Hades will return to face the prototypical big men he largely led the way for such as Nytro, Riptide and Titan, but this remains to be seen.

Hayley Holder was an icon in the TWF, she managed Stephen Jenkins through out his entire career and is likely to follow him into the Hall of Fame in the near future. Holder was introduced to the TWF through her friends the original Team EV valets Alice Lee and Miss Emma. When Jenkins made his first appearance, the partnership seemed just natural and Hayley was at Stephen's side for all of his major accomplishments in the TWF. Hayley has not been afraid to get into the ring from time to time, proving that whilst being an excellent talker, she can back up her claims. With Jenkins out of the TWF, Holder managed "The Sensational" Eric Herrera and the two seemingly got off to an excellent start. Holder managed Herrera for over a year, taking in his many TWF World Championship matches, but after being unsuccessful in his most recent attempt, Herrera dumped his manager and went out on his own. Holder returned at the side of John Harper and managed him alongside his tag team partner Eddie McBrain for a few months before she left the TWF in April 2010. Holder's reputation for partying is well-known and she has expressed an interest in becoming a model, but is expected to remain a fixture on the Bridgend social scene.

Hulmes made his debut in the TWF in 2007 and won the admiration of the fans for his charisma and never-say-die attitude. The man who christened himself the "iGangsta", Hulmes was famously involved in the match at PayBack 2007 where Paul Heyman tried to infuriate Mr. BIG, but Hulmes was aided to victory by Biggie. Hulmes would again enter the path of Paul Heyman, successfully getting to the finals of his Invitational Tournament, only for Heyman to screw him in the finals. Hulmes's partnership with Tobias Granville quickly won acclaim with fans and critics as the two wrestled a great style akin to the glory days of 80s tag teams. At Deadly MindGames, after losing the tag team championships they worked so hard to win together, Hulmes shocked the world by dumping his partner and seeking to violently injure Tobi, blaming him for the loss. Hulmes fought many bloodied battles against his former partner, famously getting wet in a Last Man Standing match by being thrown into the River Tawe. When his best friend Aaron Hill re-joined the TWF, the duo teamed up and targeted the reunited Marz-Mr. BIG combo and attempted to drive a wedge between the two and their infamously volatile relationship. The two men co-founded the Foals to further pursue their agenda and were almost successful in driving apart the Militia, but their superior mindgames out-foxed the devilish duo. Hulmes was ultimately driven from the Federation after Against All Odds in June 2010, losing to Tobias Granville in a Loser Leaves Town match.
Hulmes has used his fame to a greater good however and was prominent on Twitter for his environmental contributions and is, rather unusually, a keen bird watcher. Hulmes is determined to do more charity work in the future regarding this endeavour.

Putting the finger on what exactly makes Jackal so dominant and popular is quite difficult. Jackal was raised in the harsh climate of a Texas farm, and was an All-American linebacker in high school. Jackal used to wrestle whenever he had time, and his experience out in his parent's farm came to help him in the TWF. A 2008 King of the Ring Semi Finalist, Jackal spent the latter part of 2008 in a bitter feud with other giants Riptide and Titan, upending both men to gain a shot at the Intercontinental Championship in early 2009. Whilst his IC Title shot was unsuccessful, Jackal used his dominance to become a popular Television Champion after defeating Rob Green for the belt. After losing the TV Title to the Avenger in June 2009, Jackal's career stagnated. Whilst frequent battles with fellow big men Riptide and Titan were always entertaining, it seemed to show only one side of this incredible athlete. A disciple of Mr. BIG and an infrequent training partner of his, Jackal would form part of the Cavalry in February 2011. His career didn't really take off until one memorable Mr. BIG promo saw him dub Jackal "The All American Nightmare". Jackal used the new name, attitude and tips given to him from Mr. BIG to enter the big stage of the TWF. Despite BIG's teaching, Jackal eventually began to feel that he was not being appreciated in the Cavalry. As the faction's importance dwindled during the eVo-TWF war, Jackal realised that a lyric from his theme song rung true, so he ditched "the nice guys" of Matt Aish and Isaac Dyer, insisting that his new aim was to make sure the "nice guys finish last". Jackal became the first employee of Jeremy Ellington Jenner's new coterie, J.E.J. Enterprises and earned the scourge of his peers and fans, as he placed the value of the holy dollar and a pay-cheque from Jenner above his own needs.

Jason's TWF career saw him take many different routes. After a very long time in BCW, where he was the last of the original Jocks, he debuted in October 2003, as part of the Red Hoodie Crew. In January 2004, he dumped his Hoodie Crew mates and joined Seek and Destroy, and was part of the group until it's ending. During this time, Jason became TWF Television Champion and also defeated Blonde Man to become Hardkore Champion. Davies then faced Bandit for the IC Title in a memorable 2-out-of-3 falls match in mid-2004. He was a founding member of The Jocks, and began his crusade against Mr. BIG, due to the wishes of his manager and girlfriend, Holly. The two's intense relationship was a source of great anger to the fans, who hated Holly she left Biggie. Since the split, Davies taunted Biggie and many of Holly's previous exes, until at Dangerously Serious 2004, Mr. BIG defeated Jason and famously delivered a post-match verbal beatdown. Davies was emotionally not the same after this, but gained his revenge with a mammoth Intercontinental Championship run that included a match against Big Martin in Tables-Ladders-Cell, a match chosen by Holly to prove that Mr. BIG was not the only master of the match. Jason was the Jocks kingpin for the rest of their TWF tenure, and he was struck down by Jon Bennetta when Louise memorably defected from the Jocks at Summer Break VIII. Jason then caught the eye of the returning Black Demon, who threw him down to the Gates of Hell, which was the last we saw of the self-proclaimed pimp.
Since leaving the TWF, Jason has continued to only advance his reputation as a party animal, but has also concentrated on a sports science degree.

Son of a prominent English aristocrat and heir apparent to the Ellington Jenner dynasty (including it's 500-year old mansion), the choice of professional wrestling as a career path must have caused much debate in the tea rooms at the vast palace where Jenner grew up. However, bulled through his school days, which is considered a rite of passage in the high society in which he rolls, Jenner decided that the only way to beat the bullies was to join them and added to his immense wealth, this has made him an insufferable member of the TWF locker room. Jenner, through the wealth of his parents found a mutual partnership with fellow silver-spooner, David Tissot which was quickly dubbed the "Fortunate Sons". Despite several opportunities at the World Tag Team Championship gold, Jenner's duo was always unsuccessful. Jenner eventually introduced his butler, Geoffrey, as a second on The Tea Room program and Geoffrey quickly became one of the most devilish managers in TWF history, with his trademark silver platter shot laying waste to several of Jenner (and Tissot's) adversaries. In April 2013, Jenner revolutionised the TWF by introducing J.E.J. Enterprises, a coterie that consisted of several employees, as he aimed to rule the TWF through monetary means. Despite many fans initially looking down at Jenner's plan, it's success has been incredible, with almost all of the TWF's gold being captured by it's employees at one time or another. His business mind, or lack there of, has allowed subsidiaries to form, such as when Jenner announced that Power, Money and Beauty would become a part of J.E.J. Enterprises. The outfit's success is likely to continue whilst Jenner continues to bank roll it's activities.

Jessica Roberts is a Jersey girl, and boy, she doesn't let you forget it! Roberts is a former English teacher from Allentown and a big time wrestling fan, who decided to accomplish a dream and become a professional wrestler. Having the tough job of teaching some unruly pupils in her teaching days, Roberts sees the many females in the Total Wrestling Federation as no problem at all. Jessica initially made her mark as the manager of Rob Green, helping him to a run as Television Champion, but Green then began blaming Jessica for his losses, eventually attacking her after blaming her for his loss in a match at Easter HeAT 2010. The break-up with Green only endeared herself to TWF fans in the process and after Green left the TWF, it appeared that the decision to split worked in Jess's favour. In June 2010, Jessica announced her new association with Tobias Granville, an association that seemed to bring her more new fans. After being known as a hot blonde, Jessica revealed that she was a natural brunette in May 2011 and has decided to revert to her natural hair colour, a decision that has been seen as a popular one. When Tobi was struck by a car prior to Dangerously Serious in November 2011, Jessica was right by his side. Unusually, she did not help him in his rehab, instead concentrating on her newest client, Tobi's best friend, Victor Ortega. On May 4, 2012, in one of the most shocking moments in TWF history, it would emerge that Victor Ortega was behind the attack on Granville. Jessica faced a choice of which man she would side with and she chose Victor, sealing this betrayal with a kiss. Jessica flaunted both her new man and new attitude, returning to her despicable blonde roots in the process. Jessica has remained at her new beau's side as he continues his ascent towards the top of the TWF mountain.

J-Fox, the brother of fellow TWF Superstar The Fox, made his TWF debut after Summer Break V as a member of The Allied Powers, a group of wrestlers who hated the Jocks with a passion. J-Fox admired Mr. BIG an awful lot and made many references to his idol in some of his interviews. J-Fox was a former XCW and WEW wrestler and through those connections, he began teaming up with Deadman. From the very start, these two men looked like excellent tag team partners. At Bash At The Beach in February 2005, Deadman & J-Fox won the xWa World Tag Team Championships, and at Cyberslam that May, they unified the TWF & xWa Belts and began a 364-day reign. But, when they eventually lost the belts to The Fox & The Rich at TWF One Night Only in 2006, J-Fox blamed partner Deadman and announced he was starting a new faction, entitled "The Emos", but this was quickly changed to "Wanna-B-Emos" by NJS in a backstage interview right after. Since then, Fox has lead the faction and has managed to stay in the impartial side of the Metal Militia/Jock feud, due to Fox's hatred of the Jocks and his new found hatred for Biggie. When the Individuals disbanded, Fox bounced around a few feuds and formed a tag team with Ron Lindberg, but left the TWF after Summer Break IX.
Fox originally wanted to open a recording studio with his brother after leaving the TWF, but his eclectic music taste has lead to many opportunities as a disc jockey and he would eventually play records at some of the biggest dance venues in Europe. J-Fox would find his way to working for one of the biggest online gaming firms in the world and he forms an integral role in their social media activities.

Emerging in late-2011, Thornton is a freak of nature unlike many of the TWF's big men. Hailing from the Seventh Circle of Hell, Thornton cuts an imposing figure and has a devastating ring presence. His impressive power needed direction and eventually the arrival of the Sinister Minister, Father James Mitchell, into the TWF saw Thornton team with fellow hellacious behemoth Marquis Shax to form one of the most intimidating tag teams in the TWF's history.

Joe Whelan remains one of the TWF's biggest misses. Whelan had potential to be a huge star in the TWF and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. He first became a part of the TWF when he joined the successful Alliance collective in 2001 and often teamed up with other breakout star Adam Taylor, and the two's tag team matches together were extremely popular, bringing with them an infectious attitude to the discipline not seen in many years. Whelan followed Taylor to the Red Hoodie Crew where he remained a popular member of the group, standing out from the rest of the hated faction. Whelan had a childhood friendship with Holly, which lead to some interesting questions which were asked by Mr. BIG in 2003 about the whole situation, but through it all, Whelan maintained his character. Whelan's association with the Hoodie Crew perhaps was his undoing, as he failed to stick out of the group like many expected he would. His last TWF in-ring appearance was during the 2004 King of the Ring match, where he was eliminated by Adam Taylor whilst attempting to eliminate the debuting monster, Hades.
Whelan returned to school to complete his studies after leaving the TWF and embarked on a sports science degree with the aim of becoming a sports therapist. His family remain the immediate neighbours of Mr. BIG's.

Joey Davies was one half of the West-East Siders tag team from the TWF's early days, and made sporadic appearances when they re-united on occasion. In March 2007, Davies made a full return to the TWF, coming to the aid of friend "Lover Boy" Jonny Bennetta. At No Way BacK, Davies and Bennetta defeated Disturbed & Zero via DQ, Matthew Wright made his first appearance in the TWF. Davies and Wright formed a formidable team from that point and were successful in many matches, gaining many shots at the TWF World Tag Team Championship. Davies also grew close to Matthew's wife, Elisha, which angered Wright. In one of the most shocking acts in TWF history at Summer Break VIII, Wright hit Davies with a vicious chair shot after they lost a championship match. The two settled their score in the violent Revenge Match at Take No Prisoners, which Davies won.
Joey left initially to be a partner in Marz's architect firm, but in March 2008, he left the firm and was ready to return to the TWF at No Way BacK. Joey had a change of heart just hours before the event and returned to Nottingham where he was undertaking a University Degree. By May however, he had dropped out but returned to University to complete a different degree. Joey moved with his family in 2011 to Sydney, Australia.

A life-long professional wrestling fan, it was a matter of time before Joseph Helms would enter the squared circle. Helms's childhood ambition was to become an actor and film director and used his exploits in his backyard wrestling federation as practice, taking his role as head of the company seriously. When the backyard company drew to a close, Helms decided he would follow his passion full time and made his début in 2006. Helms was a straight forward character until a short absence from his US commitments in 2007. He returned Stateside later that year a darker individual, obsessed with the occult. Helms eventually grew dissatisfied with his time in the United States, but showed enough potential that the TWF were keen to sign him, and Helms entered PWC in 2010. After impressing the right people in the company, Helms was promoted to the main roster in late-2012. Helms finally showed the flashes of potential when by chance he teamed up with Sin Nombre in early-2013. The team, dubbed "Danza de la Muerte", impressed critics and delighted fans as the sum of the duos parts made up for their individual weaknesses.

Josh Jericho was one of the original TWF superstars. He competed originally for SCW as "Downtown" Josh Jericho, then upon joining the TWF, as simply Josh Jericho. Originally he had the backing of the fans, but gradually, he was considered to be a lost cause and lost the fan's backing quite quickly. Jericho was a founding members of the Blood Brothers stable and was a member of the stable in both it's TWF and RWF incarnations. Jericho then made an impact on the TWF's return when he joined The Jocks, siding with friends Jason Davies and Tom Williams. He was also Louise's first client since her deflection, repaying her personal friend an old favour. Josh was last seen advancing to the semi finals of the 2007 King of the Ring tournament, eventually losing to eventual winner Justin Polaris.
Josh continued his relationship with Louise off-screen, and after Louise left the TWF in 2008, the two moved into a new home together in Exeter to begin their new lives. However, under a year later, the relationship turned sour. Jericho is now the Head of Mathematics in a south Wales school.

She'll get your attention with her Hollywood looks then leave you laying. That's exactly how Kaitlin Simmons has become arguably the hottest star in the TWF Women's division since Echo's arrival to the TWF. Simmons, despite her small frame, was able to dominate almost all of the women in the TWF shortly after her arrival and left her rivals stunned as she displayed incredible athletic grace in performing incredible submission holds and power moves. Simmons quickly found herself on the outside of what she called the TWF's "Diva Clique" and found an unlikely ally in Rio, the most dominating TWF Women's Champion of all‐time. The two it was revealed were good friends and Kaitlin used this to her advantage, observing Rio's great wrestling to help her reach the top, which she did in February 2011, winning her first Women's Championship and embarking on a dominant reign. Her vicious rivalry with Mary‐Anne would prove her undoing and when she was finally bested for the championship, Kaitlin seemed a little more withdrawn. But, the championship was not her reasoning for this change in demeanour as Simmons was revealed to be a founder member of the eVo collective. Even the most stone‐hearted TWF fan was surprised to see Kaitlin shun her friendship with BFF Rio, but it proved that Kaitlin lived up to her mantra of putting her success first. Simmons's eVo allegiance played dividends quickly as Simmons gained a matter of revenge of Mary‐Anne to win back the championship in December 2011, giving fans a sense of déjà vu as she continued on a long and dominant reign.

In Welsh wrestling, Kingston is among those who started it all back in the late 1990s. Kingston was a popular wrestler in some parts of the country and was one of the prominent wrestlers of the time. However, when SCW was founded in late 1999, Kingston was not invited, a move that caused much consternation from members of the wrestling community. It wouldn't be until 2008, when the TWF signed him to a development contract that Kingston would get his chance to prove himself on a larger stage. In 2009, Kingston made his début, aligning himself with The Foals, a faction set-up against two of Kingston's former friends back in the late 90s, Marz and Mr. BIG, who Kingston blames for being "blacklisted" from companies for over a decade. The highlight of Kingston's run in the TWF was a main event match in‐front of 70,000 plus at the Louisiana Superdome against his hated rival Marz for the TWF World Championship. Although unsuccessful, Kingston insists it was easily the greatest moment of his career.
In July 2010, Kingston left the TWF as it emerged he was only a very short term deal and returned to retail management, where he was extremely successful. Kingston has however expressed an interest in returning to wrestling in the near future when his schedule permits, having taken up ju‐jitsu.

Lucy Rose impressed many during her days in BCW for her willingness to learn her new craft. Along with Mary‐Anne, Lucy was trained in Mr. BIG's famous ring in his garage during her off‐days in ways to improve herself, and as a result, along with Mary, she was considered to be a future star in the TWF. Lucy quietly made her début, but it became apparently quickly that she was the new girlfriend of NJS, and the two were inseparable and became one of the TWF's power couples. Lucy proved herself to be a formidable women's wrestler and won a TWF Women's Championship in her tenure.
However, after she married NJS, she declared herself to be unofficially retired, preferring to concentrate on managing her husband to further glories. When NJS departed the TWF in early‐2011, it emerged that Lucy Rose was allowed to do so, meaning that the TWF's Women's division was now void of one of it's brightest talents.

Luke Baird underwent many changes during his TWF career. Baird first appeared with his best friend Todd McFarlene, and the two formed a long‐running tag team, who despite many shots at gold, never seemed to come away with the straps. Baird also joined some of his BPA mates in the Blood Brothers group, which drew the ire of many in the RWF for the way that they always interfered in each other's matches. Baird also founded the Individuals with J‐Fox, where he was a dark and brooding counter to the usually upbeat persona we already knew. Baird was a tag team specialist in his time in the TWF, but was very capable as a singles wrestler, despite no titles on his resume. Baird does not keep in touch with any of his former stablemates and suffered a painful separation from his long‐time girlfriend in 2007.

Luke Fox is a Founding Father of the TWF and was part of a popular tag team with Frekishi called II-Kool, wrestling under the name Grandmaster Michaels. In SCW, the duo were clearly the most popular superstars on their roster and transferred over to the TWF. After disappearing from the TWF for many years, The Fox made his first appearance in a TWF ring in many years at Summer Break V. Upon the TWF's return, Fox teamed up with his old buddy from XCW, The Rich, with whom he was a two-time XCW World Tag Team Champion. The duo would be champions for just under a whole year, before the two men dramatically split the team, with The Rich joining The Individuals. The Fox however caused controversy, and managed to verbally attack Mr. BIG on many occasions, and turned his back on the fans. His attacks on Biggie meant he took part in a memorable match at PayBacK 2007, where Biggie stopped counting his pinfall and hit him with a BIG Storm during a match with Hulmes. This was the last we saw of The Fox in a TWF ring.
Luke concentrated on his business degree and has a portfolio of interests, mainly in marketing, where he has a business background. In January 2015, in a surprising appointment, Luke became the new colour analyst in the TWF's development area, PWC. After several years out of the business, Luke wasted no‐time in striking up a partnership with lead announcer Michael King that delighted fans. Fox's trademark was readily apparent, with his quick wit and love of alliteration and puns making him the subject of English lessons across the world.
