Jerry Tans - Here he comes. "The Franchise" Lawrence Jarvis.

Smoke starts filling the ramp as the pyros explode and Lawrence is standing at the top of the ramp. He poses and then starts to walk down the ramp, he's covered in smoke and at times it's hard to see him. The music picks up and pyros go off up the ramp as "The Franchise" steps into the ring.

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.
