Entrance Information:

Entrance Theme: "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria
Detailed Entrance:



"Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria begins to play as fog begins to rise from the entrance way. The lights dim down and two spotlights converge on the curtain as Hayden Phoenix makes his way out to the entrance. He has a serious demeanor on his face and looks up to the crowd. He points to the crowd on his left, and the crowd cheers. He slides over to his right, points to the crowd, and they erupt as well. 

The lights brighten up as Hayden walks down to the outside of the ring, Phoenix holds his arms out to the sides with his palms up, yells something into the air that cannot be made out, and jumps up onto the apron. He grabs the top rope, looks at both his left and his right side, and flips head first into the ring.

Other Information:

Character Backstory: Hayden Phoenix comes from a pedigree of The Brothers Wrestling Academy, run by former wrestlers Raymond “Flipside” Brothers and Sean Brothers. He then wrestled for Toronto Wrestling Council in which he became famous for his multiple “Iron Man” matches and being crowned the first “Iron Man” Champion. He has won the title twice. Before going much further in Toronto, the big time came calling and he was signed to ICWA. After the company folded before he made his in-ring debut, he relocated to California to debut with LEGACY Wrestling. He was on a roll and teamed with new found friend Ian Windermear, they entered a tournament for the Tag Team Titles before the company folded. He was able to than join Ian in Missouri wrestling for MSW, but things seemed to close up there. After a few weeks back in Toronto with him home TWC, he decided that it was now or never and decided to try things again in the states. He has ties with Ian Windermear and SVD.

On-camera, Hayden is a quiet, self-kept introvert that seems like he is trying to fulfill some sort of destiny or obligation. He continues on, no matter if he wins, loses, draws, and is knocked out. He knows that the crowd backs him, but he shows no emotional connection to them. Backstage he connects with some fellow wrestlers as he needs to maintain some sort of connection, but no one ever knows what is going on upstairs or why he continues to rise after each match for the next challenge. He seems to be a straight shooter but often his emotions can get the better of him as he seems to follow what he believes to be his own destiny. He is willing to do what it takes to correct the wrongs, regardless of the crowd's feelings on it. He has a strong sense of morality, and will do what he sees fit to stick to that. He maintains a close resemblance towards an anti-hero.

Current Accolades: Has debuted in four different companies (ICWA, LECACY, MSW, and now RWD) in less than a year. Won debut matches in LEGACY and MSW (did not get a chance to debut in a match in ICWA)

Previous Accolades: None other than his local company
