Half of Boys Next Door
Sammy Griffin is a late comer to wrestling. A former green beret with a chest full of metals, Sammy left the service a broken man. Job hopping in his native state of Wyoming led him to work as a rodeo clown, where he eventually met his friend and soon to be wrestling partner Garrett Jax. After a bar fight, the two were convinced to give wrestling a try, where upon they entered the IWF/WOW.
Two months later, The Boys Next Door, were IWF/WOW Tag Team Champions. Their reign lasted six months before they split and attempted solo careers. After small success, they were convinced to rejoin the tag circuit by Brian Nelson. Nelson also felt the "Boys" needed more time in ring together to sharpen their collective skills, since both have less then a full year on their resume'. To accomplish this, Nelson decided to send the BND "down" for more work.

Description: Starts as a standing abdominal stretch, then rolls into a Banana Split pin/submission move. (Basically the guy's legs are split wide, one held by Sammy's arms, the other by his legs. The shoulders can rest on the mat, but can also be lifted to avoid the three count. However, the split can also bring about too much pain and force the submission.
