He grew up watching wrestling, thanks to his father's occupation of being a pro wrestler. Hero's father was known as Brian "Biker Jack" Slick, and every time he went on the road, his family went with him. Hero was born into wrestling and quickly became entranced with the sport. At the age of 15, he began showing a strong interest in following in his father's footsteps. Hero began training. He participated in small matches and sparring sessions just to get the feel of the ropes. After learning the basic moves from his father, he decided to move to Calgary, Alberta, Canada to find the one man who could further prepare him for his goal at becoming the best wrestler alive -- Bret Hart. After some time (two years to be precise) of grueling work in Hart's dungeon, The Hero finally set out to make his name known in the wrestling world. He toured around Canada at first, joining the independent circuits and acquiring various titles including Tag Team and eventually the prestigious World Titles. Homesick, however, he chose to return to the United States where he crossed the country in select regions winning titles by the score. It was at this time when he met one Johnny Golden, who was a wrestler/film star. They met in a federation called the WWOW (Wild World Of Wrestling) and immediately became friends. While in this fed, Hero enjoyed the longest title possession of any wrestler in the WWOW with a five-year World Championship reign. Unfortunately, after six years and due to financial difficulties resulting from the deaths of three wrestlers in the ring, the WWOW became inactive. To this day, no one knows how two of the three men had died. Some say it was their poor health. Others blamed the federation's owner. Then there were rumors of drug abuse and alcoholism. Either way, the WWOW was doomed. After the wrestlers' respective funerals, Hero and Golden jumped ship before any rumors got worse and targeted them. Hero and Golden moved on to better and brighter things. Or at least tried to. Surviving in small promotions and performing in dank and damp pool halls, the duo began to lose hope for their careers. Until one day a promoter offered them a job that they could not refuse. This man was starting a new federation called the TPWL (Today's Professional Wrestling League), and had scouted the two for three months. Without any consideration, the two immediately signed. In the TPWL, Hero and Golden enjoyed even more success. Hero held various independent and tag team titles. Word spread of his name and in-ring ability. But before his light could truly shine, another dark cloud loomed on the horizon. The TPWL lasted for only two years. It disbanded after suffering a "wrestler's strike". Hero and Golden, the first two to join, and therefore the last two left, once again had to look for their lot in life. Golden decided to move on to his movie career, while Hero, loving the sport so much, continued his dream. Suddenly, on a cold October day, Hero received a phone call from none other than his father. It turned out that he was thinking of starting a federation of his own and needed help. Even though money was not a problem, talent was scarce. Hero jumped at this chance. Soon, he and his father started a company called the IWF (Intense Wrestling Federation). It was then that an old friend re-entered Hero's life -- Johnny Golden. Golden decided to put his movie career on hold once more to join and possibly manage business in the IWF. With a little help from the mouth of Golden, soon the IWF began to flourish. Wrestlers from all over the world signed contracts, taking the credit given by the words of Slick, the old pro, Golden, the one with the charisma and charm, and Hero, the successful player trained by the great Bret Hart. In just a few months, the starting roster consisted of up to 50 men and women. Hero was the most successful in the IWF, having won the World Title on no less than 14 occassions. However, Hero began to feel stuck. He felt that he could not accomplish any more than he had. So, with great dignity, as well as a heavy head, Hero left the IWF. He decided it was time for the others to shine. He left, looking for a new federation that could give him a challenge and work him to strive to be the best again. Unfortunately, his luck was not that strong. Although his fans missed him, Hero felt that he was eroding away under the tides of forgetfulness. But then he received a call from a man named Armageddon. He was looking for new talent and thought that Hero would be a good addition to his fed, the AIWF. It just so happened that there was a shortage of fan favorites there, and Hero was scouted as a true favorite. Hero accepted and soon signed a contract. He had officially thrown his hat into the Inferno ring. The Hero is determined now to continue his long list of accolades and etch his name into the annals of the AIWF alumnus, using his power moves and submission skills to overcome even the largest and most strongest of foes. |
