Bio: After a troubling childhood of being bullied, Chase Walker is a former wrestler for the U.S. Naval Academy, who pursued a job in professional wrestling after being a collegiate champion.

Walker has trained with former collegiate standouts Kurt Angle and Jack Swagger, both of whom were successful in the WWE. Fan favorite due to the constant doubting of others. Will take some reckless risks that can win or lose him a match.

Well, I'm seeing if anyone is interested in taking on Mr. Smyth, and if so, I'll see if the opportunity is interesting. If not, then I may be done with eFedding. :(

Brief Biography:

Sebastian was a Hitman before he chose the wrestling life. Beneath the fancy suit he normally wears his flesh can be seen riddled with scars from his days on duty. Sebastian was a tough guy, who did not take anything from anyone and was highly skilled in Muay Thai. When he is given targets he took them out swiftly and left no witnesses. As time went on Sebastian drifted away from his life as a Hitman and moved away to the middle of nowhere. Alone in his life he began to train his body in amazing ways. Every morning he would whip his back with beads as a form of pain endurance training. After this he would lift weights and go jogging. After several years of this he looked for a way to utilize his new found abilities and began street fighting in dark alleys and abandoned warehouses where he would enjoy a few wins and one loss. With only one loss he decided to walk away from this dangerous street fighting life and started to look at a new playing field in the wrestling world; A professional one.

Sebastian searched high and low and it took him no time at all to get into the Indy Scene as a professional. This would be his thing for the next 2 years, and during this time Sebastian knew that he was bound for success. Holding a total of 4 championships (and eventually losing them) Sebastian was officially crowned as a Indy darling. Sebastian could only wonder how long he could keep his new found dream alive without his past catching up with him. As Sebastian grew larger, so did the amount of enemies he gained. This eventually led to a locker room fight that occurred between Sebastian and another wrestler. On that particular day the wrestler approached Sebastian with a knife and went to jab it into his side. Sebastian, being highly skilled, moved to the side and missed the knife by just a few inches, then followed the counter by grasping the wrestlers arm and snapping it at the elbow. This forced the wrestler to drop the knife, and while the wrestler cried out in pain Sebastian ran his knee into the wrestlers ribcage as hard as he could. The wrestler was down on the floor wailing like a baby as Sebastian walked away.

He enjoyed his time on the Indy scene, but eventually Sebastian began to want more. He had always watched wrestling on tv growing up and being just 28 years old he knew that he only had so many years left in him. Setting out to make his dream a reality he gave his notice to his employer and sent out a letter to all of the big time companies in hopes that one of them would sign him. He was just itching to kick some butt, and the drive to perform on a big stage is what has kept him going for this long. After news broke out about this Sebastian was approached by a local news outlet and they interviewed his decision to go to the big leagues. The highlight of the interview was simply him saying, "I will go wherever I go.. It does not matter! As long as there are people around to hurt. I will be there."
