Short Biography: Gavin was disowned by his parents in February of 2012, a month before his eighteenth birthday. Him and his sister, Sophie, grew up in an abusive household where anything bad that happened was their fault. Gavin was kicked out because after seeing his sister get mistreated, he attacked his father in a fit of rage and ended up getting arrested. However, his parents decided not to press charges but their one stipulation was that he was to never come back and to never attempt to contact his sister, Sophie, ever again. They sympathetically gave him 5 grand to live off of and Gavin traveled from his hometown of Sacramento, to Las Vegas to start a new life. He worked dead end jobs, mostly busing tables at restaurants, for almost a year before losing his last job and his apartment on the same day. In desperation, he applied to Chris Night's wrestling school in March of 2013 but he had no money to pay for it. Chris denied him attendance but the co-owner of Chris' wrestling school, Xavier Young, felt sympathy for Gavin and took responsibility for him while taking him under his wing. While Chris Night took Julian Savell under his wing, Xavier made Gavin his protege. Despite Xavier Young having an outlandish personality with an obsession for Skittles and a hatred for M&M's, Gavin still saw him as a mentor. Gavin trained with Xavier and Chris for three years before joining Portland Pro Wrestling and he had one of the hottest debuts the company ever saw. He started off 5-0 and made it to the semi-finals of the tournament of roses before losing to Xander Shaw. Gavin would then rebound at Deck the Halls and win a 10 man battle royal, earning him a shot at the Rose City Championship. Gavin would then win his next match against Cheyenne Thomas for the Portland Pro Rose City Championship, making him 8-1 in his career. Gavin eventually lost the title back to Cheyenne and he decided to put his focus on NGW where his best friend, Deadeye, was a competitor as well. Gavin's career would start off with a bang in NGW and he's accumulated a 6-1 record while also winning the second ever Rags 2 Riches match and also becoming the third NGW Unified Heavyweight Champion against Mark Storm, Corey Bull, Dirk Bentley, Tyson Gregory and Mark Storm after Deadeye had to forfeit the title due to his severe neck injury. After becoming champion, Gavin would take NGW by storm and would accumulate a record of 15 wins and 0 losses in NGW. Gavin is known for never being pinned or submitted during his time in NGW. He was also the longest reigning NGW Unified Heavyweight Champion, having never lost it and he has held onto it for five months. He also has the record for most successful title defenses as well. As for Gavin's personal life, nothing is known about his family besides that is sister is Sophie Grimes and she recently came back into Gavin's life after a three year absence from each other due to Gavin being disowned by their parents. Gavin was married to Ashleigh Grimes, the Inferno Champion of Season Two of Inferno Wrestling and the last Five Lakes Champion of NGW. They were a couple since first meeting each other on October 2nd, 2015. Gavin and Ashleigh were known for their volatile relationship and they eventually split. Gavin is also known as a student of wrestling and he will find out everything there is to know about his opponent; it doesn't matter if it's in or outside of the ring, Gavin studies up on whoever he's fighting. When he loses, he watches the tape of his match dozens of times, pinpointing every mistake he made so he doesn't do it again. Wrestling is basically an obsession for him. Gavin took a few matches here and there in different companies after NGW closed; beating the likes of Carmine Reaper, Ana Valentine and even Laurel Ann Hardy. He would continue his winning ways in #FSociety until he fought in a Monster’s Ball match with Allyson Morrow. The two would beat the hell out of each other, both sustaining injuries that would last for almost two months for both of them. This match would see Gavin take his first loss in over 395 days, a huge deal.
After Gavin’s run in #FSociety, he went on to join HKW Underground. He took the noble route as much as he could and soon became one of the faces of the company. He won the North American Championship and then the #CultClassic along the way. But getting screwed over out of his chances for the HKW Underworld Championship made Gavin bitter. He soon made a deal with the devil when he aligned himself with Bobby B. Barrabas. Some say that because of this, Gavin was able to achieve his dream and become the HKW Underworld Champion. Gavin stayed in Bobby’s pocket until Bobby was taken out of action. This is when Gavin felt a bit lost. He lost his relationship with Hailie Savell and found out the child that they had wasn’t actually his, but HENNY’s. It took some time but Gavin soon found himself again in Sarah Grimes, his current wife. The two of them have an ‘us’ against the world attitude, and Sarah has helped bring back Gavin’s confidence and find his ‘true’ self. The two of them are ready to show that they are a force to be reckoned with in Underground.
Also, during this time in HKW Underground, Gavin had stints in VPW, Proving Grounds, Crescent City Pro and Millennium Pro as well. He had success in all of those other companies and he still competes in Millennium. But at the end of the day? He still bleeds HKW Underground, and he always will.
