Other
Information: Wayne was born Wayne Robert Rothschild to a wealthy family
in the Boston area. His father Robert, who was a big time lawyer
wanted Wayne to follow in his foot steps and become a lawyer just like
his older brother's had. Given Wayne's impressive physucal gifts
he obviously excelled in sports especially football and wrestling.
Wayne became a high school All-American in football and was heavily recruited
by several top division 1A school however Wayne bowed to his father's will
and attended Harvard.
Wayne's
dream was to play professional football and he was a stand out on the otherwise
lackluster Harvard football team. His father would hear nothing of
his dreams and eventually a rift fomed between them. After nearly
completing his undergraduate degree, Wayne left school to persue a life
on his own. Cut off from his family, he wandered around from job
to job. We eventually wound up in New Jersey where he worked for
a local arena setting up events and working as security.
Wayne's
fate changed when a local wrestling promotion had a show at the arena.
As luck would turn out, the promotor was one wrestler short and when he
saw Wayne he immediately approached him to wrestle as a fill in.
The promotor simply wanted to Wayne to take some "bumps" from one of their
long timers. To everyone's surprise, Wayne dominated the veteran
and instantly became a fan favorite. Wayne now known as "The Train"
competed for some time until the local promotion closed due to bankrupcy.
Wayne floated around on the independent cuircuit until finally getting
his first break in the "big time" in the ASW. Unfortunately for Wayne
is was not long before this federation closed down as well.
Wayne
was once again without a home. He was going to call it quits when
he was approached by a scout from the newly formed Extreme Wrestling Association.
Wayne got his break but his career was slow to take off. Wayne
became bogged down in useless feuds and his inability to "get over" with
the fans eventually led to an attitude change and one of the more memorable
moments in the EWA. Wayne, who was always the All-American good guy
shocked everyone by joining up with one of the most hated and dispicable
factions in wrestling, Devastation, Inc.
From
that point on Wayne's career took off. His nice guy image was shed
and in it's place became one of the most ruthless and blood thirsty wrestlers
around. One of the major highlights of his wrestling career was when
Wayne won his first major title, the North American title. Wayne
would soon be stripped of the belt when the fed went through a reorganization
but it didn't matter because Wayne was now a major player.
Wayne's
life and attitude took another turn when he was permanently crippled at
the end of a match. Wayne's hatred led to the end of his wrestling
career. It was not long after that Wayne was appraoched by then President
Artful about becoming a VP for the fed. Wayne accepted and eventually
became President after Artful had to leave to undisclosed reasons.
Wayne
has wrestled in ASW, EWA, ECEW, UWO, SEWF and various other federations
around the country and had fueded with some of the greats including his
Tommy Grayson and long time friend Johnny Sledge. Wayne also was voated
best tag team along with partner Dean McGrath.
