Gimmick
A fifteen year veteran of the ring, Holloway has seen it all and done it all. However deep down he feels as though he still has something to prove and isn't afforded the respect that he believes he's earned over the years. Holloway also wants to prove that his best days aren't behind him and that he still has what it takes. Holloway is known for his great mind and uses it to his advantage and has been known to be very calculating in the ring. In the last few years, Holloway has managed to get into the best shape of his life and career and his hell bent on showing everybody who comes across him that this old dog still has some new tricks.
Personality:
In his heel persona, Holloway is remorseless and dangerous. If he even feels the slightest disrespect he'll take it on whoever he sees fit. Holloway is also known to have a sense of humor, sometimes a sick sense of humor as well. Holloway is also known to be very charismatic both in the ring and on the microphone.

CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Holloway has won a total of 13 championships in his career, including being a 3-time World Champion, having held the TDW World Heavyweight Championship three times along with being a 5-time TDW Intercontinental Champion and 4-time TDW Tag Team Champion. Holloway is a one-time GCW Lone Star Champion with his reign being the longest in GCW history.
Holloway was the founder and owner of Western Canada Championship Wrestling (WCCW) having founded it in 2018 before coming to terms with CWC and having it brought in as their Western Canada and newest expansion territory. Holloway later made his wife, Brooklyn the CEO and close friend Dominic Duvalle the General Manager who will run the day-to-day operations while Holloway continued to wrestle in GCW. GCW would close down in March 2018 and Holloway would move and sign with West X Wrestling, before later leaving CWC all together and signing with rival company, GWA - and signing with Empire Pro Wrestling as well as Millennium Enterprise, before leaving and taking an extended hiatus from wrestling so he could focus on his wrestling school.
Holloway is widely known for his tenure from 2005–2016, in Total Destruction Wrestling which is based in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was there that Holloway met fellow Canadian, Tyler Chandler. After leaving TDW in late 2016, Holloway took some time off from wrestling to spend time with his family and was even contemplating retirement before he signed a contract with Championship Wrestling Coalition in June 2017. In late 2017, Holloway opened up his own wrestling school Executor School of Wrestling in his hometown of Toronto. Holloway makes regular visits to the school when he's not wrestling helping to train the future generation of Canadian professional wrestlers.
