PERSONALITY INFO
Theme Song
“My Way” by Il Divo
Gimmick
Think “The Revival” or “Imperium.” The Golden Era represent what wrestling should be. No flips. No over the top moves. They keep it simple. Basic. Straight forward. Nothing wrong with that, except the preachy way they go about telling you that the style of wrestling they do is the right way. No one likes to be preached/talked down too.
Personality:
Neil is the more serious, passionate (some say over bearing) of the two. Kyle is light hearted. Loves to shout the rallying cry of his Alma Mata. He knows it annoys people who hate his school or just find him telling it annoying in general.
Strengths
There experience, clearly. Not just as professional wrestlers. As collegiate wrestlers as well.
Hall of Fame credentials.
They are as crisp as they come, the ultimate hive mind.
Weaknesses
Due to there hardcore beliefs, there is a stubborness to adapt to the faster pace aspect of the sport.
Pride can come before the fall.

CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Neil Newman and Kyle Butler are two men who met in college over the love of collegiate wrestling, both represented their respective schools wrestling team (Boston College and Alabama respectively). Neither man could beat the other. On that day they knew they were each others equals. Instead of doing what most people would do, try to one up the other, they became friends. Tag team partners. Bonded over their collective love of old school wrestling they spent their career in Global Championship Wrestling. Winning the tag team titles along the way. Being so much of a staple of the GCW lexicon they were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019. Neil briefly teamed with his wife in Emerge. Seeing that company didn’t share his values, he was set to retire from wrestling. Kyle nudged him about the MWE tag team tournament. With three matches as non contracted MWE talent, they realized, there is a place in wrestling for a resurgence of a golden era. Making it official, the Golden Era rises again. And professional wrestling is a lot better for it.
