Biography:
Lawrence started off his career at the young age of 18,
he was first contracted to the HWWA, he had a bumpy first
few matches but everyone could see that the potential was
there for this kid. He fought under the name of the Silent
Assassin and was soon taken under the wing of current World
Champion "Iron" Mike Fury. Fury has a positive
influence on the Assassin and it wasn't long before Lawrence
was clawing his way into the Mid Card and beating some of
the bigger names in the company. He got his first shot at
gold when he was booked into a match against MadKat for
the Television title, unfortunetly Lawrence was not successful,
however this was only something that made Lawrence fight
harder, after a year and a half he finally got the reward
he had worked for, he was booked into a match against his
friend and mentor "Iron" Mike Fury for the World
Championship in an Iron Man Match. Lawrence came out with
the victory after an amazing 6-7 result.
After losing his World title to MadKat, the
Silent Assassin jumped ship when his contract ended and
joined the UWO, it was here that the Silent Assassin was
truly recognised winning the Hardcore Championship an amazing
8 times, his biggest rivalry was against BronX the hard
hitter from the streets of Brooklyn. Also in the UWO Lawrence
was paired with the Green Dragon in a Tag Team Tournament
and he captured his first Tag Team Championship. However
the partnership was short lived as Lawrence turned on the
Green Dragon in his last show and walked out.
He was signed to the CWF and joined forces
with Classy Mike C and his group the Classy Dogs, but the
Silent Assassin was no more, Lawrence lost the Hardcore
Icon gimmick and became the straigh talking "Realist",
Lawrence became a 3x Intercontinental Champion during his
3 year run in the CWF, but the biggest victory was when
Lawrence was the mystery challenger for Classy Mike C's
World Heavyweight Championship. Two weeks later "The
Realist" was released from his contract in a controversial
storyline involving a "Loser Leaves Town" match
pitting Lawrence against the rest of the Classy Dogs.
After impressing in the CWF Lawrence was snapped
up by the IWA, it is here that Lawrence really became a
superstar in the Wrestling Industry, he held the Hardcore
Championship for a tenth time, he captured Intercontinental
Gold two more times, he held the Tag Team Championship for
a second time and also the World Championship for a third
run. Lawrence was proudly inducted into the IWA Hall of
Fame and was also present with the IWA Grand Slam Award
making him on of wrestlings most accomplished stars. But
to say Lawrence did it on his own would be unfair, during
his time in the IWA "The Realist" banded together
one of the greatest stables The Last Call! The group included
Rob Hardy, Gabriel Knight and The Wanderer, Lawrence and
the Last Call ran riot over the IWA until Rob Hardy, Lawrences
best friend, became jealous of Jarvis' success, in a shocking
moment The other members of the Last Call turned on Lawrence
and beat the holy hell out of him, during the attack Lawrence
injured his knee severly, however he managed to make on
final appearance against Rob Hardy, not only could Lawrence
barely walk when the match had finished but after being
pushed from a twenty foot ladder and crashing to the floor
Lawrence had also broken his back, forcing him to leave
the IWA and the Last Call in the charge of Rob Hardy.
Lawrence was away from wrestling for over
two years but he made his come back to the GWF and promptly
carried on where he had left off, he won the X Division
title alongside the TV title three times. He finally squared
off against Rod Gazinya to become a 4x World Heavyweight
Champion, Frank Gazinya the owner of the GWF screwed Lawrence
in a similar fashion the Montreal affair, Lawrence pushed
Frank Gazinya and then took his World Championship to the
WoW/nWo.
Lawrence became a 8x Intercontinental Champion
here. He won the International Championship for the first
time and also won the Tag Team title for the third time.
"The Sensational One" was born and Lawrence became
one of the most loved fan favorites in history, Lawrence
had a good run in the WoW but was forced to leave when his
knee injury struck him down again.
Lawrence came back after being released from
his contract and went to Cairo where he had a good run but
for the first time did not win any gold.
He became home sick and went back to England
where he competed in the BWE winning the World Heavyweight
Championship two more times to become a 6x World Heavyweight
Champion.
Lawrence was recruited to the eWo by the late
AJ Epic. It was here that the "Franchise" took
off again, he captured the International Championship and
also the Primetime title, his biggest feud was against Cody
Carson, that was until he faced off against "The Idol"
Bill Dynamite. Lawrence and Bill were great friends, they
were almost like brothers until Bill took a hiatus from
the eWo, meanwhile Lawrence taunted Bill and poked fun at
him causing the showdown between the two, in a shocker Lawrence
pulled out the victory, however it wasn't long before people
started to leave the eWo with it's shakey backstage attitude
and Lawrence followed.
He came to the BWF expecting big things after
a poor run in the AWE. He captured the Primetime title for
a second time, but still Lawrence wasn't happy, his ego
got the best of him and he walked out on his contract only
24 hours before a PPV event. Where did he go? To All-Pro
wrestling which was ran by former eWo'er Scott Palmer.
During this time Cody Clark a former eWo'er
himself had been moving in on Franch's daughter Kimberly
and the two had got married. Lawrence was and still is fuming
but has not been able to get anywhere near Clark, at New
Heights Lawrence Jarvis defeated Satana Pike and Czecher
for the All-Pro Championship making him a 7x World Champion.
