Wrestlers Background: Mike grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan for the early parts of his life. He wrestled in high school and found that he was a natural at it. He went to college and won many prestigious awards in the college wrestling circuit. While wrestling in college he got the name of wrestling trainer in Tampa, FL—Alex Renge. While being trained by Alex in Tampa, Mike crossed paths with people like Jason Lockhart and Tim Johnson but he latched onto Lockhart more then he did Johnson—like most people do—and the two became good friends. Once they left, Mike was the at the top of Alex’s list and he started to excel at wrestling. Once he left Tampa and out from under Renge’s wing, he pursued a career on his own. After working for several small promotions and making a name for himself, Mike started looking at the bigger promotions—that’s when he spotted the PNW. He first applied to Fox but Fox turned him down because he wanted to focus his attention on other rising stars. Upset, Mike kept looking around but then he gave up. When he heard that Fox had been bought out of PNW, Mike re-applied to Wolf for entry and it was granted.

Wake up, are you alive
Will you listen to me
I'm gonna talk about some freaky sh*t now
Someone is gonna die
When you listen to me
Let the living die, Let the living die
(say)
Announcer: On the way to the ring. Weighing in at 250 lbs; from Battle Creek, Michigan...
What's up, I wonder why
Do you listen to me
I'm gonna make you do some freaky sh*t now
Insane, you're gonna die
When you listen to me
Let the living die, Let the living die
(say)
Announcer: Mike Smith!
(The song keeps playing and starts to fade as Mike gets in the ring. He gets in the ring and takes off his shirt and throws out of the ring and then he just waits for his opponent.)
Three Strengths:
- Mike likes to takes chances and he’s good at them…most times his high-risk stuff will work and win the match.
- When Mike is involved in promotions, he watches every match of every person and he keeps a journal of what happened. After a time, he starts to know every move of his opponents and they will become predictable to him. He is a good observer of his opponents.
- Mike is a smart person and he is able to think on his feet during the match and may even get himself out of predicaments.
Three Weaknesses:
- Since Mike is a very devoted friend, he will interfere in his friend’s matches to ensure they win or to protect them…this gets his friends quite upset
- Since Mike likes to take chances in the ring, he occasionally screws up with these chances and may even lose himself the match.
- Mike has a temper when in the ring…if he starts to lose the match he’ll get upset and may get himself disqualified in some way or another.

Basic Match Strategy:
Mike plays clean for the most part. He is a wrestler and a brawler…which ever the occasion calls for. Since Mike has watched his opponents for some time, he knows a lot about them and he will take advantage of whatever weakness they may have. Mike has a short temper and if he starts to lose he may do something to cause himself the match (disqualification or botched high risk).
