Name: Matthew Jones
A.K.A.: Blood Brother Matthew From: Bridgend Entrance Music: Like the Angel by Rise Against Signature Moves: Cutter, Superkick Finishing Move: Fisherman's DDT Career Highlights: Member of the Blood Brothers & the Jocks Matthew Jones gained the attention of many as a member of the Blood Brothers faction and generally being the most sound wrestler out of the 4 members. However, he was a very controversial character backstage, being particularly out-spoken against Mr. Edwards and Mr. BIG. He was fired, but in September 2004, famously jumped a barrier at Coney Beach in Porthcawl to attack Mr. BIG during a scheduled match. Unbelievably, later that year, he returned to the TWF after patching things up with the CEO thanks to Biggie's sister and Jones's former beau, Atomically Kool Kat. Jones then joined up with old friends Josh Jericho and Jason Davies as a member of The Jocks team and formed a vital part of the team. When the Jocks disbanded, Jones became a main eventer, memorably facing Mastermind at Last Man Standing in a last man standing match after winning a #1 contender's match. Jones showed he could take it up a level when he could. Jones then formed a tag team with Mike Haggar, and together the two dominated the tag team division, causing a few surprises.
Jones left the TWF in September 2008, to begin a new life in support of his then girlfriend, Katie. |

Noted Quotes: "I'm gonna take you out of this world!", "I'm just that good" Career Highlights: Wife and Manager of Marz. 2008 Female Wrestler of the Year Wherever Marz goes, Michelle is sure to follow. Michelle has been at Marz's side since the TWF/TECW war and the couple have been particularly dominant in the past. Michelle was not thought of as much of a wrestler, but her boyfriend's influence on her lead her to become a stand out, and she won the TWF Women's Championship for the first time at the TWF's first pay‐per‐view since returning from hiatus. Her long reign was cut short by Atomically Kool Kat at Summer Break VIII, which left her devastated. A year later at Summer Break however, Michelle gained her redemption, winning the championship to begin her second reign as champion. After losing the championship to Rio in December 2009, Michelle unofficially retired from active competition and instead concentrated on aiding Marz's quest to become TWF World Champion. After he proposed marriage to her, Marz told Michelle once he lost the TWF World Championship, he would retire from the business and they could move on together. On June 16, 2010; Marz officially announced his retirement, and both he and Michelle were able to ride out into the sunset as they wished.

Name: Matthew Wright
From: Jackson Heights, Queens, New York, U.S.A. Entrance Music: Hands Up by Lloyd Banks Signature Moves: Argentine DDT Finishing Move: End ResultShoulder Jawbreaker
Career Highlights: 2013 Lover Boy Memorial Trophy Winner Matthew Wright had a short but particularly memorable TWF career. He débuted at No Way BacK 2007, coming to the aid of Jon Bennetta and Joey Davies after a match against Disturbed & Zero. Wright found affinity with Davies and the two formed a successful tag team that would become feared opponents for champions Technically Superior for much of 2007. Yet, after their match at Summer Break VIII, Wright snapped. He whacked Davies over the head with a steel chair, and attempted to leave with their manager for the evening, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She refused and nursed Davies, and we later learned why Wright did what he did: he blamed Davies for breaking up his marriage to his wife, Elisha. The two settled their score in one of the most violent TWF matches ever at Take No Prisoners, finally ending the Revenge Match when Joey Davies threw Wright through a window. In October 2008, Wright returned to take part in the All‐Action tournament, signalling a full‐time return to the company. During this time, Wright was prominent in the All‐Action division, winning the championship whilst feuding with Sebastian Gross, throwing him into the Bristol Channel at PayBack 2008. In April 2009, Wright left the company after losing his All‐Action championship to Titan.
Wright, who is still with Elisha, is now happily retired but remains a fixture at TWF charity events, where he is deemed a natural at any sport he plays. |

Career Highlights: Member of the Rebel Messiahs (2008–2010) and eVo (November 2011–June 2013) Mick O'Brian has worked tremendously hard to gain his position in the TWF, and through his career so far, has made sure no-one takes it away from him. débuting in the latter part of 2007, O'Brian took part in the infamous Ultraviolent X match to be crowned King of Xtreme, and almost caused an almighty upset in winning it. His moment to be put on the map came a month later, where he sensationally defeated hardcore specialist Stephen Jenkins to become champion. O'Brian's reign was short, but it was long enough for him to catch the attention of the fans, who loved his never say die attitude. Mick almost became the last ever Hardkore Champion at Summer Break IX, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Despite being unsuccessful in his efforts to win a championship in 2008, O'Brian was still the darling of the fans. Mick finally got his lucky break when he was involved in a Four Way match for the Television Championship in May 2011. Mick had hinted in previous weeks that he had changed his ways but many were sceptical. That was all until Mick revealed his incredible new finishing move, D.N.R. O'Brian picked up his first championship and laid almost the entire TWF locker room to waste with the move at one point or another. But, O'Brian felt that he was disrespected by fans during his lean spell and this lead to his dissatisfaction with the crowds. O'Brian was a part of the infamous beat down on November 1, 2011 and since then he has drawn the fury of many that once cheered for the young Welshman. O'Brian would add tag team wrestling to his repertoire, forming a team with John Harper that was a dominant part of the eVo attack and the duo would win the World championship in late-2012 together.

Haggar has constantly angered his fellow BCW Class of 2007 peers like Victor Ortega and Tobi Granville. Haggar found himself taken under the wing of former BPA member Matthew Jones in the early part of 2008 and the two have become a dominating tag team in the last couple of months. After Jones's departure, Haggar caused an upset when he defeated Blade to capture the prestigious Intercontinental Championship, whose many former champions have often challenged for the World Championship. Haggar engaged in an intense war with the popular rookie Tobias Granville in 2009, with the two having classic matches for the championship. Haggar joined up with The Foals in 2009 as Granville was taken under the wing of the Metal Militia and he continued his war with the young superstar. After joining Genesis in 2010, Mike Haggar scored the biggest victory of his career at Unleashed 2011, defeating Mr. BIG. The two men had many great matches in 2011, proving to any remaining doubters that Haggar was an incredible talent as he defeated one of the greatest of all-time.

Name: Miss Emma
Now Resides: Wyndham, Bridgend Signature Move: Low Blow Finishing Move: Emma-plexFisherman's Suplex
Career Highlights: Member of Team EV Miss Emma is best remembered in the TWF in the early days where she accompanied the duo of Team EV to the ring. Emma's younger sister, Alice Lee, would also accompany the young superstars and they offered protection in the boy's matches should things get out of hand. Emma also took part in an infamous Iron Man match for the now defunct Lightweight championship against Champozina and MikeA (better known today as Marz). Emma 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. Emma, who was very young on her TWF début, has disassociated herself from wrestling in recent years.

Career Highlights: 2009 Chairman's Cup Winner 2009 Breakout Performer of the Year Fourteenth Triple Crown Winner Member of The Entourage (2008–2011) Quiet and brooding, Nytro has dominated the TWF since his arrival in a way very few have seen in the company's history. Nytro has drawn comparisons with Hades, another man who entered the TWF and had a long winning streak. Nytro became the Intercontinental Champion after taking a huge scalp in Jon Bennetta, in a moment some have called a "passing of the torch". With Nytro, the torch shines bright, as he is one of the most impressive mat specialists in the TWF, but he can play loud and play hard at the same time. Nytro held the belt for eight months before losing it to Blade in a classic match at Summer Break. It was against Blade that Nytro fulfilled his potential by winning the TWF World Championship at PayBack 2009. Despite losing the championship to Marz in March 2010, the Big Diesel has shown off such power in his abilities he is the most feared man in the TWF locker room, especially since the début of his new finishing move, N2O. Nytro's long road back to the top of the TWF mountain saw him lose friends along the way, but it was his former friend Justin Polaris that he defeated in the main event of Summer Break XII to win the World Championship for the second time, achieving a career high that would take some beating. Nytro further endeared himself to the TWF faithful when he reintroduced the old TWF World Championship belt which was much missed by fans during Polaris's reign.

Name: The Overnight Male
From: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Entrance Music: New Orleans is Sinking by The Tragically Hip Signature Move: Special Delivery Finishing Moves: Quadruple Powerbomb, Ropin' the WindAirplane Spin DDT
Noted Quotes: "How be, ma'am!", "Time for a special delivery, courtesy of Overnight!" The Overnight Male is a legend of North American wrestling and a veteran of the VWF, where he crossed paths with several TWF alumni, including Mr. BIG and The Bandit. It was with the Bandit that Overnight had his most famous match for the VWF World Championship. TOM was also a part of the infamous The Psycho Realm stable along with former TWF superstars Dope C and Ottobomb. Overnight only ever made one appearance in the TWF at Summer Break VI as a participant in the Las Vegas Bar Brawl, surprising the participants by already being at the bar before the match begun.
Overnight retired from the business in 2005 but remains in close contact with the TWF and often contributes several ideas to the company. He is a close confidant of Mr. BIG and the two have a deep friendship from their VWF days where Overnight was one of the few people who defended BIG. |

Name: The Protégé
A.K.A.: "Awesome" Adam Morgan Now Resides: Hammersmith, London Entrance Music: Around the World by Red Hot Chili Peppers Signature Moves: "Awesome" Bomb Finishing Move: Tilt‐a‐Whirl Tombstone Career Highlights: Last Recognised RWF Genesis Champion Member of the Allied Powers (2004–2005) Protégé started his career as a member of the Jocks in BCW, which would form the basis for one of his biggest and most high profile feuds. Protégé was a very good friend of Mr. BIG, who helped train him in BCW, and he was also associated romantically with Holly for a long period of time. It was in 2004 when he made his biggest impact. Beginning on a quest to become Intercontinental Champion, Protégé helped establish the Allied Powers, a group of men allied against the Jocks stable. It was a very successful stable as the group of men stopped the Jocks from gaining a further foothold in the Total Wrestling Federation. In his first Summer Break appearance, Protégé upset the form book, defeating TWF legend Blonde Man to become Television Champion, a title he would hold until the beginning of 2005. Protégé continued his success in 2005, being very successful in his endeavours. The most shocking moment of his career came when he teamed with the man who he had engaged in many a verbal wars with over his personal life, High Voltage, to defeat Team EV.
Since leaving the TWF, Protégé has made very few appearances in wrestling, instead concentrating on his very successful life as a leader on the TWF's production team, a position he held whilst being an active wrestler as well. He took a sabbatical in 2008 to concentrate on other aspects of his work, although he made an appearance at the revived RWF in 2009 as "Awesome" Adam Morgan, his guise in BCW. |

Career Highlights: TWF Ring Announcer (2004–2005) TWF Time‐Out Host (2004–2005) Clients included Mr. BIG and Hawke Notes: Rachel's Official Website Wikipedia entry The one‐time manager of TWF CEO, Mr. BIG, the former pop star made a successful transition into the wrestling world. Firstly, she managed Biggie, then famously turned on him to manage Hawke. Despite this, BIG and Rachel remain close friends and he was invited to her wedding in August 2009. During that time with Hawke, Stevens was given training on how to wrestle and scored an upset victory to become TWF Women's Champion. However, the decline of the BPA saw Rachel leave Hawke's side to become the TWF Ring Announcer. She was not afraid to perform some of her hits on TWF TV, memorably performing at Summer Break IV in‐front of 100,000 TWF fans at the Bridgend Dome, arguably the highlight of Rachel's TWF tenure. When the TWF returned from it's hiatus in May 2006, Rachel declined an offer to return, citing the importance of her music career and acting roles. However, she will be best remembered for delivering the famous TWF World Championship match introduction, which was considered her trademark. Rachel made a surprise appearance to deliver the famous introduction at The Memory Remains supershow in February 2009 to the delight of TWF fans.

Name: Rebekah
From: Broadlands, Bridgend Career Highlights: Clients included Karl Davies, Mr. BIG & Big Martin Although rarely mentioned nowadays, Rebekah has a significant piece in the TWF's history. Bekah made her début in October 2002 as the manager of Karl Davies. The two were in a relationship at the time and Davies needed a mouthpiece, so his then girlfriend asked to join him. Hearse was a vicious mouthpiece for Davies, delivering many humorous and memorable beat downs on Davies's opponents during her tenure. She left the company in January 2003 as her relationship with Davies came to an end. However, she became very good friends with Mr. BIG. Bekah's role is so significant many say without her, Holly and Louise would not have got the roles they have in the business. In March 2005, Bekah returned to help Mr. BIG and NJS in the Last Ride Match at Easter HeAT, and also made an appearance at No Way BacK, accompanying her good friend Biggie to the ring for the Gas Chamber match. Bekah was due to make a full‐time return to the TWF in 2007, accompanying Big Martin to the ring at Summer Break VIII.
When Martin left the company shortly after, Rebekah did too, with rumours constantly swirling about a return. These rumours were dealt a blow when in March 2008, Rebekah announced she was to become a mum for the first time. Bekah has since setup her own successful beauty business, which sees many members of the TWF roster as clients. |

Noted Quotes: "Peace Through Victory" Career Highlights: Member of the BPA & Seek and Destroy Evans is best remembered for his time as "Hawke's #2". Evans always seemed to be following in the Singing God's footsteps in both the BPA and Seek and Destroy. Evans's most memorable gimmick was not as the Marilyn Manson inspired goth, rather the "Yoga Kid", a man who detested violence and sought to rid the TWF of violent acts. To this end, Evans memorably became Hardkore Champion, but before he could disband the belt he despised, hardkore legend The Vamp hit him with a chokeslam and Evans lost the title. Evans also had a memorable match with Mr. BIG at Total Chaos in 2003, as the two feuded at the beginning of the Rebels with Attitude and Seek and Destroy war. Evans teamed up with fellow S&D members for the rest of 2003, but disappeared at the beginning of 2004.

From: Bridgend Entrance Music: In My Eyes by Rufio Signature Moves: Caught Red Handed Finishing Move: Superkick Career Highlights: Member of the Red Hoodie Crew (2003–2004) and Black Hoodie Crew (2004–2005) Hopkins débuted in the TWF as a member of the Red Hoodie Crew, making his most memorable appearance in the infamous "How to Harpoon a Bear" segment of the April 4, 2003 episode of RAW. Hopkins provided the spark for Mr. BIG's involvement with the Red Hoodie Crew, infamously mocking the former World Champion. Biggie would get his revenge on Hopkins that night, delivering a vicious Tombstone onto a steel chair. Hopkins teamed with good friend Ryan Jenkins for most of his TWF career, forming a formidable tag team as part of the Hoodie Crew. Hopkins was also known for his relationship with Lisa, and the two constantly showed off their romance whenever they were given the chance. In his only Summer Break appearance, Hopkins was defeated by the then rookie Assassin. In June 2004, to the shock of the world, Hopkins revealed his romance with Biggie's sister, Atomically Kool Kat. However, this was short lived. Hopkins joined the Black Hoodie Crew when the group was founded until their departure in early 2005.
Hopkins has since served jail time for driving offences, and holds the dubious title of being the first person to be suspended under the TWF's drug testing program. Hopkins disappeared from the TWF consciousness until December 2008, when he announced he had become a father to a boy, Brooklyn. |

Twelfth Triple Crown Winner Ninth Full House Winner Managed by Owen Carl (May 2009–May 2011) He's big, he's mean, he's tough. Riptide has been likened to fellow southern hemisphere legends the Bushwhackers for his ability to cause sheer chaos whenever he damn well pleases. A dominating big man, Riptide has engaged in violent feuds with both Jackal and Titan, two other members of the TWF Class of 2008. Riptide's finishing move, the Tidal Wave, is one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the Total Wrestling Federation and it has become feared by all sections of the TWF roster, who fear that a snapped Riptide could be the end of them. Despite a long and fairly successful association with Titan, after Owen Carl left the TWF in 2011, tension between the monsters came to a head as Titan abandoned his former partner, eventually joining eVo. Riptide instead turned his power for the good and found a common ally in Eddie McBrain, a man who was also jilted by a former partner in late 2011.

Career Highlights: Formerly Managed by Jessica Roberts (October 2008–April 2010) Member of the New Sensations (2008–2010) Rob was not a character that was easy to love. He previously gained infamy before even entering the TWF when it emerged he was cheating on his fiancée which when added to his love for the emo music and culture that the TWF's fans thought they had finally seen the back of, made Green an extremely unpopular character. Rob was accompanied by his blonde bombshell Jessica Roberts, leading to his nickname from Scott Hudson, the Teacher's Pet. Roberts has managed to get the best out of her man however, as she guided him to his first TWF championship reign, a TV Title victory over John Harper in November 2008. Green bounced around after his title victory until he partnered with Jack Beam for a run at World Tag Team glory. After a loss in the #1 Contenders match at Easter HeAT 2010, Green laid the blame on his manager, attacking her after the loss and further angering the TWF faithful as a result. Green then attempted to avenged Jessica at every opportunity until she found a new client in Tobias Granville.
Green left the TWF after Summer Break XI, when he was offered the chance to run his father's business. |

California CallingShooting Star Press
Noted Quotes: "This is California Calling, how are we tonight?" Ron Lindberg made his name as a musician in many punk/ska‐punk Californian bands in the late‐90s, but stated for many years that his real passion lie in professional wrestling, often hitch‐hiking to watch wrestling cards in the Cow Palace in his youth. The TWF signed him up to a development contract and during his time in BCW, Lindberg found friendship with "The MasterStroke" Aaron Hill, and the two became the longest‐reigning BCW World Tag Team Champions of all time. Lindberg's team with Hill was not particularly successful in the TWF however and when Hill left the company in late‐2007, Lindberg concentrated on his singles career. A reign as Hardkore Champion followed, before Lindberg found a kinship with J‐Fox, a man with whom he had some common ground. The two fought in the tag team division for a while until both men left the TWF in August 2009. Lindberg became a man of leisure, bouncing between roles as a musician and concert promoter. Lindberg always kept tabs on wrestling, making time to attend events in his native California. A chance blog posting with his by‐line led to Mr. BIG asking Lindberg to return to the TWF, initially as a road agent, helping out wrestlers behind the scenes. Lindberg relished the chance and would also help out PCW, teaming up with former TWF announcer Michael King to call their events. In late-2011, annoyed at derisive comments from Connor Kelly, Lindberg returned to active competition and showed no signs of ring rust, giving the cocky young rookie his toughest matches to date.
Lindberg however was suspended from the TWF in May 2013 for failing a drug test and decided to leave the company, returning to PCW to become it's lead colour analyst as well as one of it's most important advisers. The advisory role grew into a co‐ownership steak with AJ Jeffers, and together the two men carved out a successful niché in British wrestling for much of the mid‐10s. In late‐2017, it emerged that Jeffers wanted to sell his portion of the ownership as he wanted to focus his attention on his new family, whilst Lindberg surprised many by announcing he was buying a semi‐professional football team in south Wales and would then finance their turn into professionalism. As a result of this, in March 2018, it was announced that the TWF had purchased PCW and would shut it's doors after one final Super Clash in May, turning Lindberg from a hero in Porthcawl, to a zero, as die‐hard fans saw this sale as a betrayal of the promotion's roots. |

From: Bridgend Theme Music History: 5 Minutes Alone by Pantera • Cinderella ManJanuary–May 2011 by Eminem
Signature Moves: Split‐Legged Moonsault, Superkick Finishing Moves: Triangle Choke, Welcome to the Other SideBridging Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex
Career Highlights: Managed by Siân (2011) Member of the Red Hoodie Crew (2003–2004), Black Hoodie Crew (2004–2005) and Genesis (2011) Jenkins made his début on the April 2, 2003 episode of Grit BasH beginning a vicious war with Mr. BIG that became personal very quickly. Jenkins was always accompanied by his best friend Rhys Hopkins, who were nicknamed "The Stoner Boners" by the then‐Commissioner High Voltage. Jenkins was twice a runner‐up, in consecutive years and in two different formats, of the TWF King of the Ring tournament. Jenkins certainly had the talent to be a great TWF superstar, but often suffered from foot in mouth disease, with his comments to the wrestling press about the company being anything but grateful. Many feel that Jenkins did not get the credit he maybe deserved because of his backstage nuisance, which carried over into his on-screen persona. A well‐known heavy metal fan, Jenkins lost interest in music and many other of his interests when his idol, Dimebag Darrell Abbott, was shot dead in 2004.
After reaching his zenith in the TWF, Jenkins largely disappeared from professional wrestling until he surprisingly reappeared in PCW in 2009 and was managed by the company's largely disliked valet Siân. Jenkins's incredible rise to the top of the promotion was cemented in January 2010 when Jenkins won PCW's most prestigious belt, the International Championship. As Mr. BIG's close neighbour the two enjoyed an amicable relationship for many years, until Jenkins took his relationship with Siân public, which drew the ire of Biggie's fans, who knew of the deep friendship that the Only One had with Siân over the course of their lives. Ryan and Siân's infamous personal quarrels were only played out in public to tempt Biggie over to PCW, which he finally did ‐ to their cost in November 2010. At Unleashed in 2011, Jenkins revealed himself to be the darkened figure shadowing Mr. BIG in arenas and informed him that he had returned to finish their feud from PCW and to end Mr. BIG's career once and for all. In the process, Jenkins found the similar goals of Genesis to be useful and he became their fifth member shortly after his return. Jenkins infamously almost killed Mr. BIG at Deadly MindGames when after a Revenge match, he threw an unconscious Mr. BIG into Swansea Marina. Jenkins was successful at turning Mr. BIG into a shadow of his former self, something no other TWF foe had accomplished. With Genesis offering him protection, Jenkins was practically invincible to anything Biggie threw at him. The two's bitter and intensely personal war finally ended in a brutal Ambulance match at The Gold Card in May 2011, which would see the loser banished from the TWF. To the shock of many, Mr. BIG managed to defeat Jenkins and send him packing into the ambulance. Jenkins continued to wrestle in PCW until his relationship with Siân definitively came to an end. Jenkins drew his attention to a paintball facility that he co-owns with former TWF talent, Stephen Dimmock in south Wales. |

Name: Sammi
From: Brackla, Bridgend Career Highlights: Clients included Triple J and King Ass Nidian Sammi first came to major prominence as a member of the FX Ladies back in 2000. She was a particular favourite of Mr. BIG (along with Holly) for a long while, until she stunned the then World Champion to join DX. In particular, Sammi found the advances of Triple J too much to refuse and the two became an item. However, after JJJ left the federation for a while, Sammi found herself in partnership with Nidian, becoming the Kid's adviser. Nidian found Sammi too irresistible and the two set up plans for a marriage after Nidian proposed on an episode of Grit BasH.
The marriage was set to take place at Deadly MindGames 2001 and it closed the show. Sammi shocked those in attendance however when it emerged that she had lied about being pregnant to Nidian, stole money from him and then as a final kick in the teeth, she kissed her husband, James Jonathan‐Jones. Sammi famously received an Equaliser for her troubles as Biggie strolled down to the ring carrying divorce papers she never signed, followed by Nidian beating down on Triple J, with Biggie and Nidian signing the divorce papers. Sammi has not been seen in a TWF ring since this event in 2001. She has been cited in many different jobs and roles, but was working in advertising. Sammi married her long term boyfriend in September 2010 and they now live together in Swansea. |

Career Highlights: Member of the Z‐Pack (2002) Carries a trademark Singapore Cane ECW World Heavyweight Champion (×5) ECW World World Tag Team Champion (×1) The beer swilling Sandman made his TWF début on the infamous September 16, 2002 edition of Monday Nitro as part of the TWF invasion of TECW. Sandman made himself feel right at home in the TWF, joining the Z‐Pack when it was it's most fragile with only Mr. BIG remaining. Later in 2002, Sandman announced his retirement and made his last ever match against Owen Carl in the TWF. However, the Sandman had since made a comeback and took part in the WWE's ECW revival. Sandman has made infrequent TWF appearances after this, such as at Deadly MindGames 2005, coming to the aide of Mastermind in a TWF World Championship match. Sandman made an in-ring return at Summer Break VIII, memorably teaming with Marz against Team EV. His entrance to the ring, which consisted of him walking through the crowd whilst drinking beer (with his iconic theme music of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" echoing in the background) was one of the most memorable in professional wrestling history.

Name: Siân
From: North Cornelly, Bridgend Career Highlights: Former Manager of Ryan Jenkins Siân is a mainstay in the TWF's rival promotion, PCW, where she remains one of it's longest tenured employees. In 1998, prior to his departure, Mr. BIG and Siân were showing signs of being a partnership, but after he left the company (and wrestling all together), his regret at expressing his love for Siân was made clear. When PCW invaded the RWF in 2005, Siân was drawn into proceedings when it was revealed that after Louise and Mr. BIG amicably split up so she could be with NJS, Siân returned to Biggie's side… but was caught sleeping with some noted RWF superstars, who were all friends of Mr. BIG's. BIG, whilst incensed, remained calm and their friendship continued, as she comforted him after Sophie's departure. In 2010, as BIG's sister Cerys joined PCW, Siân took things personally and revealed that her new boyfriend was Ryan Jenkins, a man with whom Mr. BIG had differences in the TWF. Jenkins however quickly appeared abusive towards Siân and she cried out for Biggie to return to the company to "save her". It was eventually revealed to be a ruse that Siân and Jenkins played to get BIG back into PCW where he could be assaulted by their superstars, bitter at his leaving the company 12 years earlier. BIG out smarted them however and aided a popular PCW star in his match against Jenkins in November 2010.
When Jenkins showed up in the TWF in January 2011 as a member of Genesis, he quickly revealed that Siân would be by his side and together, they would run Mr. BIG out of professional wrestling forever due to his "heinous" past and jealousy at the couple. It therefore didn't take long for Siân to become one of the most hated figures in TWF history. As part of Genesis, Siân quickly became Biggie's kryptonite, as seeing her would drive him insane. The two's tempestuous relationship came to a head just before The Gold Card pay‐per‐view in May 2011, where the two finally spent time alone in the ring, discussing out loud their history and problems. Siân eventually revealed that Biggie's departure from PCW had a lasting impact on her and that her presence in the TWF was in spite of him. After hitting Ryan Jenkins with a BIG Storm into the Ambulance to drive him from the Federation, Siân saw her chance to get at Biggie, attacking him with her shoes, but she eventually joined her boyfriend in the ambulance after Biggie delivered a devastating S.D.S. through the roof of the ambulance. As Mr. BIG prophetically predicted, the relationship between Jenkins and Siân did not last. After returning to PCW as conquering heroes, the duo had a bitter split which drove Jenkins from professional wrestling once more. Siân continued to be one of the key components of the PCW program, concentrating her efforts as the manager of her then‐new fiancée, Evan Gordon. |

Name: Sophie

I Can BeAugust 2008–September 2009 by Taio Cruz •
OverMay–August 2010 by Drake
Finishing Move: Punk OutFlying Neckbreaker
Career Highlights: TWF Commissioner (October 2008–March 2009) Former Manager of Mr. BIG Born in Bridgend, Sophie spent her childhood in Kingswood, Texas, returning to Wales at the age of 16. As a childhood friend of former TWF Women's Champion Cerys, Sophie knew of her elder brother Mr. BIG. He was impressed by her love of wrestling and invited her to the Asylum when she returned to Wales in late 2006. She quickly rose through the ranks of the rigorous training scheme, but her heart was in becoming the manager of man who introduced her to the TWF and the person who she admitted "saved her life". Sophie made her début at Last Man Standing in 2007 and quickly won the heart of TWF fans. Sophie managed to ignite a fire which no-one had seen from Biggie by being at his side, and the two became best friends. BIG said he always calls her his "Miss Elizabeth figure". In December 2007, Sophie informed Mr. BIG she was pregnant through her long-term boyfriend, and the two shed tears of joy in the middle of the ring. The drama would overshadow all other events however. Mr. BIG cut his now famous promo and left the TWF in January 2008, leaving Sophie shocked and heart-broken. In March, Sophie suffered a miscarriage after a freak accident at home, and as a result, her boyfriend left her. This was made much worse when Paul Heyman completely humiliated her on an episode of Grit BasH following hearing of this. Sophie waited for revenge, and she delivered by disposing Heyman as Managing Director at Summer Break IX after gaining the help of Mr. Edwards among others. Sophie defeated Alexis Polaris to become Commissioner in October 2008 and dedicated her victory to her lost child and Biggie. Sophie was forced to leave the TWF as a result of Alexis defeating her at No Way BacK to regain her Commissioner's job.
Sophie concentrated on her fashion design career, but eventually found the business was not her calling and returned with Mr. BIG in August 2009. Sophie continued her interest in graphic fashion design by designing some of the t-shirts the Metal Militia now wear. Unfortunately, Sophie was accused of common assault in September 2009, a charge that she denied and was eventually cleared of (it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity), but the strain this put on her relationship with BIG saw her leave both the TWF and Biggie's personal life. Incredibly, at Collision Course 2010, Sophie returned to the TWF again at Biggie's side. The two didn't look to have missed a beat together as they were inseparable for much of mid-2010. Surprisingly just before Summer Break XI, Sophie told Mr. BIG that she would put her new graphic fashion agency above their relationship and left both Biggie and the TWF to head to Preston, where the business was being set-up. While many were initially angry at her for leaving, she did so with Biggie's blessing (he loaned her money to get started) and the two remained in constant contact as she adjusted to her new life as a prominent business woman. |

Name: Stephen Dimmock
From: Milton Keynes Theme Music History: I Disappear by Metallica • St. Anger by Metallica • Raining Blood by Slayer • Chapter Four by Avenged Sevenfold Signature Moves: Superkick Finishing Move: Split-Legged Moonsault Career Highlights: Member of the Red Hoodie Crew (2003–2004) and Black Hoodie Crew (2004–2005) It will be difficult to remember Stephen Dimmock for anything but his feud with Mr. BIG in 2003. Dimmock antagonised Uncle Biggie when he almost ruined his screwjob of Karl Davies at No Way BacK, and Dimmock famously used one of Mr. BIG's own philosophies in a promo about why he attacked the former World Champion. Dimmock enlisted the help of Mr. BIG's sister, Atomically Kool Kat, who obliged and countered any effects Holly had. Dimmock lost both matches to Mr. BIG, but looked a stronger man in both by in the TLC encounter Dimmock was largely cheered by the fans despite coming on the wrong side of the result. Dimmock was a long-time Red Hoodie Crew member, but split away from the faction in 2004 to form his own Black Hoodie Crew. Dimmock is also known to be the man who was the Television Champion prior to Hades. Hades pinned Dimmock at Bash at the Beach and began the longest reign in TWF history.
Since leaving the TWF, Stephen played drums in many rock bands that toured Europe and America. Dimmock remained close friends with some of his TWF colleagues, the most noted of which is the Hardkore legend, The Vamp, who sung lead vocals in one of his bands. In 2009, Dimmock made an appearance at No Holds Barred after returning from a Tour of Duty with the British Army in Afghanistan, for which he received a standing ovation from the capacity crowd. Dimmock is also a regular at the paint balling facility he co-owns with his good friend, Ryan Jenkins. |

Name: Summer
Career Highlights: Manager and Girlfriend of Silver In the TWF's history, stable couples and relationships are few and far between. Silver and Summer were, and in fact remain, the exception that proves the rule. The blonde-haired beauty was Silver's companion in the XWF days, and constantly used her beauty to distract opponents and referees in times of need to enable her man to gain the victory. As part of Nevermore's Flock along with luminaries such as Mr. BIG, Big Sexy Badass and Deadman Keech, Summer also became a useful ally in their fights against the likes of the nWo. The incorrectly-named A Really Nice Chap took exception to Summer's antics and developed a dramatic infatuation with the beauty and kidnapped her, holding her hostage until the Flock gave into his demands. This was a deeply unpopular storyline in the XWF and ARNC quickly left the company. When Silver showed up in the TWF, it was inevitable that Summer join him and that she did, being at his side was as certain as night follows day. Silver's success in the TWF was in part due to Summer's brilliant management of the Big Sexy Badass and Silver tag team, which remains one of the most popular in TWF history. When Dope C and Ottobomb had their sights set on embarrassing Silver however, they knew his Kryptonite was his beloved girlfriend, so for a second time, Summer was kidnapped and held hostage by Dope C and Ottobomb as the duo seeked to drive out Silver. At Summer Break VI in a match for the xWa Championship, things reached a boiling point. Summer, blindfolded and bound, was led down to the ring to "watch" as Dope C and Ottobomb would attack Silver. Big Sexy Badass saw differently and assisted Silver in preventing the duo from achieving their ambition. As Silver was declared the winner and as it turned out the final xWa Champion, Summer was untied and held a long and emotional embrace with her boyfriend to the sound of loud cheers from the crowd. When the TWF returned from hiatus, Silver and Summer were not to be found and there whereabouts are unknown.

Name: Thomas Grubb
From: Hampshire Entrance Music: Theme from Songs of Praise Signature Moves: Grubb‐Stopper Finishing Move: The GodsmackSpinning Fireman's Carry Stunner
Noted Quotes: "I will smite thee with the Godsmack!" Career Highlights: Member of The Alliance Grubb, the son of a Christian minister, made his start in the TWF as a self-righteous religious preacher. He would interrupt the ring announcer during his entrance to deliver a sermon of some kind, to much boos from the crowd. In mid-2001, Grubb made a shock turn and joined the popular Alliance stable that were affiliated with Mr. BIG, turning his pre-match sermons into controversial passages where he would view his opponents with contempt. His persona was much talked about and divided popularity between TWF fans, who, particularly after the September 11 attacks in the USA, felt that it was a difficult character to portray on television. By 2002, Grubb was absent from the TWF but he continued to ply his trade in BCW where he was a main stay for almost a decade. Grubb was also well-known for keeping up with his full‐time job as a fireman which made him popular with locals.
In 2009, Grubb left Bridgend with his family to accept a new position in the Fire Service. |

Signature Move: Titanic‐SaultMoonsault
Finishing Move: Titanic BombSheer Drop Powerbomb
Career Highlights: 2014with Riptide as TitanWave Tag Team of the Year
Member of eVo (November 2011–June 2013) Managed by Owen Carl (November 2008–May 2011) Titan is one hell of a beast. Hailing, quite literally, from Hell, Titan stands tall and already imposed himself on much of the Total Wrestling Federation. The comparisons to the legendary Big Van Vader were not without foundation, as Titan's devastating style could see him hit a powerbomb from the heavens, or climb to the top rope and execute a devastating moonsault. Shortly after entering the TWF, Titan came under Owen Carl's management, where he teamed up Titan with another big man in Riptide. Christened "TitanWave", the duo were one of the most feared tag teams in TWF history, as well as one of the largest. Despite their astounding size, the duo were more successful in singles competition. It was during a feud over the Television Championship that Titan would cross paths with Bill Hansen for the first time. After Hansen won the prestigious King of the Ring tournament in 2010, it was Titan who handed Hansen his first pinfall loss of his TWF career in December 2010, ending his nearly year-long unbeaten streak. As Owen Carl left the TWF, the "TitanWave" duo would come to a bitter end, as Titan would blame successive losses in matches upon his partner. However, the biggest shock was to come, as Titan would form a part of the eVo beat down on that infamous night in November 2011, putting him on the same side as his once hated rival. More incredibly, Hansen and Titan would form a team for the ages, with the Alpha Males being the ones to end the historic mammoth reign of the Dangerous Alliance. Titan formed a strong back bone to the eVo team. Whilst his partner Hansen, through his Gold Card victory, chased the TWF World Championship for much of 2012, Titan was a dependable part of eVo and was always able to aid his team in whatever circumstances.

Name: Todd McFarlene
From: Bridgend Entrance Music: Clockwork by Autopilot Off Signature Moves: FameAsSer, Stunner, Superkick Finishing Move: Blind TruthFisherman Driver
Career Highlights: Member of the Jocks Todd McFarlene was among the first members of the BPA and quickly formed a tag team with Luke Baird, and the two men found they had plenty in common. The two were inseparable, in the ring at least, for the better part of 5 years. McFarlene and Baird were always seemingly part of the World Tag Team divisions, but never capitalised on their great chemistry to win the titles. However, after Luke founded the "Individuals", the regular partnership was split up as McFarlene joined his old BPA allies in the Jocks. McFarlene was a steady member of the Jocks and would always provide assistance when required.
McFarlene left the TWF after the Jocks disbanded and became a part of the martial arts circuit. |

Noted Quotes: "I'm gonna take you all the way to the bank… and strike it rich." Career Highlights: XCW World Tag Team Champion (×3) [with AJ Jeffers (1) & The Fox (2)] Member of the Individuals Tom Rich has had an interesting career to say the least. In the early days of the Tremains Wrestling Federation, he was one half of the West-East Siders with Joe Davies. However, Rich left the TWF, and was not seen for almost 6 years. But, he made periodic appearances in XCW and eventually formed a tag team with life-long friend, The Fox. At TWF One Night Only, The Fox & The Rich became TWF World Tag Team Champions, and were champions for almost a year, until Disturbed and Zero managed to defeat the duo. This set off a few spanners in the works of the tag team, that drove the duo apart when Tom joined The Individuals. Tom helped his fellow stable mates out with many of their actions and formed a successful team with J-Fox. Rich also had a bitter feud with Dougie Christian that was rooted in jealousy after a relationship between former girlfriends turned sour.
After Summer Break IX, Tom left the TWF to resume a video editing degree at the University of Kent. Rich returned to the TWF in 2010 as a member of the production staff and has created many of the TWF's much-loved video packages and highlight reels (along with Mr. BIG, he devised the classic "TWF 2007" video set to "Dizzy" by Jimmy Eat World). Rich continued to be on the TWF payroll until mid-2013 as a consultant to the editing department. Rich has since formed a prominent video firm that has worked with MTV and the Mercedes Formula One team amongst others. |

Name: Tom Williams
From: Whiterock, Bridgend Entrance Music: Let's Get Rocked by Def Leppard Signature Moves: Spear, Flying Lariat Finishing Move: 3‐Point Football Stance Career Highlights: Member of the Jocks With his father a retired tennis pro-turned Doctor, and with many high-earning uncles, it would be considered an understatement to say that Williams was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Williams was a particularly impressive rugby player and showed this on many occasions. When he was asked by friend Jason Davies to join the TWF, he leaped at the chance, and quickly entered the cross hairs of Mr. BIG, from whom his family had tried to buy the TWF from on many occasions. Biggie and Williams renewed their personal rivalry in the ring very quickly when the TWF returned from it's hiatus, engaging in a classic feud that brought in Williams's friend and former high school jock, Gavin Henson. The rivalry hit it's peak in April 2007 when Biggie and Williams faced off at Last Man Standing, with Biggie ending up victorious thanks to Sophie's début. Williams continued to annoy Biggie and his allies, but upset the odds when he ended Hades's mammoth TV title reign in extremely controversial circumstances. After losing his TV title to rookie The Avenger at Dangerously Serious 2007, Williams fled the TWF.
He has since made appearances as an analyst on Sky Sports' rugby coverage, but now works as a financial adviser in London. |

Finishing Move: Corkscrew Moonsault Career Highlights: Manager of Eric Herrera/Rain After some much needed time off from the wrestling scene, Veronica has slowly started to understand her partner's attitude change. At first she tried to hold him back, but now she understands and only holds him back when necessary, like when he goes overboard. Her view on things is that she's a fallen angel of sorts. That belief refers to her personal life. Unlike her partner, she hasn't gone off the deep end. She is unjustly accused of being insane when she's just trying to deal with personal problems mounting up at an alarming rate. She is the only one that holds the key, being able to keep Eric at bay from snapping.

Ortega demonstrates sheer power and his athletic prowess is second-to-none. Ortega first gained recognition as part of his BCW Class in 2008 along with Tobi Granville and his hated rival Mike Haggar, with whom he forged an intense war for the BCW Championship. Since joining the TWF's main roster, Ortega has gained a reputation for doing anything to win, and has crossed paths with many of his former rivals on many occasions. Ortega's career stalled somewhat until he became a member of the Cavalry, coming under the wing of Mr. BIG. As a result, Ortega finally became a big-time player, impressing many and gaining opportunities at the TWF World Championship, something that seemed so far away just months earlier. The moment that defined this was an incredible victory over Justin Polaris in the 2012 Gold Card Tournament that took him into the final match of the tournament, proving wrong those who had written off his fledgling career. Many feel it is only a matter of time before Ortega lives up to his potential and tears the TWF apart. Needing a client to keep herself occupied whilst Tobi Granville recovered from injuries sustained in a car accident at Dangerously Serious 2011, Jessica offered to manage Tobi's best friend and the duo quickly forged an impressive connection. But when it was revealed that Ortega and Roberts were behind the car accident, Ortega's life changed forever. Now the most detested man in the TWF locker room, Ortega would flaunt his new status and drive it down the throat of his ex-best friend, who was not truly the same from this incredible betrayal by his best friend and manager.

He earned his nickname, the Shark, by constantly working with loaners and bookies, and also for his uncanny luck at a poker table. More often than not, Vinnie's knack for fighting and his never-say-die attitude would find him collecting money from random guys owing debts to local mob chieftains, or beating the poor guys senseless to deliver messages.
