CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Companies: SCW; GCW; MWE
Main Characteristics
Andrew rebuilt himself over the two years since being in the ring, developing a means of focusing on himself and caring less about pandering to the crowd and doing things right.
Andrew had a new attitude upon making his return to SCW, driven by the idea of restoring the SCW Adrenaline Championship following RTG 2017.
Andrew became less concerned about wins and losses and focused on picking his spots and seizing opportunity when it was presented.
Cold, unconcerned for the well being of others. Was willing to do whatever it took to get the job done and move forward.
Holding the Adrenaline Championship and restoring it's prestige really helped build Andrew’s confidence and belief in his newfound demeanor.
Andrew still maintained some of his fundamental core beliefs as a person, despite showing a colder side. Kept a small circle of friends that he believed he could trust and be there for when he was needed.
Andrew’s anger and hate were less driven by emotion and more as an aura, surrounding himself with disdain for the business and the egos of others, uses his dark side to unleash pain and humility upon his opponents.
Unlike most heels, Andrew is not bothered by losing, understands his actions carry consequences which he carries on his shoulders. Getting screwed in matches only leads Andrew to focus on evolving more and finishing the job when it counts (PPV matches)
