He 150 pounds in fat, muscle, and beer (which, depending on who you ask, can be fat AND muscle), and wrestled in local indie feds.

BIO: Alexia Fender was born in Queens, NY to Mark and Amanda Fender. When she was 6 Alexia met April and Alyson Starr, and quickly became inseparable. When Alexia was 14, the Starrs went off to pursue their separate careers and left Alexia back in Queens. Remembering what April taught her Alexia immediately started to pour her heart into music. After getting signed at 16 Alexia left her old life behind to focus on nothing but her music. One night at a local show Jessica Blake approached Alexia about recording a song for her to enter the ring to. After the two girls started spending a lot of time together the two became best friends. Being in the wrestling world, Alexia reunited with her friends the Starrs.
Alexia signed a contract with TGW and began to manager the Sirens who consisted of Jessie Blake, Alyson Starr, Katie Goddard. Sitting on the sidelines, Alexia slowly began to want to train in the ring. She began to pay closer attention when Jessie would train and went to an off-shoot in-ring training program for a few weeks. Once the rest of the Sirens found out, Jessie took Alexia under her wing and taught her everything she knew.
Outside of the ring Jessie and Wade Mason introduced Alexia to a close friend of Wade's, Gabe Shelley. Gabe served as a trainer for TGW at the time and the two quickly became "more than just friends". The two began to date as Alexia picked up her training.
At the end of April 2010, Jessie Blake was kidnapped and Alexia went off to find her, without saying goodbye to Gabe. Months passed and Gabe tried to move on, still hurting. When Gabe started to begin his trip back to the ring, he was missing one piece. Alexia was back and with the Jessie/Wade wedding around the corner, he came to her at the rehearsal dinner. After a night of talking on the beach the couple seemed ready to put their past behind them and work on their relationship. Just a few short months later, Alexia left.
She left a note and packed her bags, heading off to work on her music career. She found herself renewed after her trip and rushed back after realizing that she wanted more than just her music. She still had love for Gabe in her heart and went straight to him. She tried to win him back but he kept pushing, though she promised to never give up.
She signed a contract with eWo, Epic Wrestling Organization, and started her wrestling career. Alexia rushed to Gabe's side once again after he was involved in a motorcycle accident. As she worked on her eWo career, she also promised to take care of Gabe while he started to heal from his injuries. She hoped that she'd be able to use the time to get closer to Gabe. After he left eWo, she followed so they wouldn't be apart. Now she and Gabe are joining REBEL Pro Wrestling, as a team. The duo seem to be slowly getting closer outside of the ring, what will come of their tag team career?
Venar, Jacob
THE FALCON
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6’2? 240 lbs
HOMETOWN: British Columbia, Canada
ENTRANCE MUSIC: “Anthem For The Underdog” – 12 Stones
STYLE: Technical High-Flyer w/ Mixed Explosive Power
FIVE FAVORITE MOVES: Whisper in the Wind, Bermuda Triangle (Triangle Choke), Falcon Punch (MMA Style Superman Punch), Running Enziguri, Leap of Faith (Shooting Star Press), Spear, Running Rocker Dropper, Unkindness (Moonsault Senton), Clutch (Guillotine Choke)
FINISHER: SMW – Spread My Wings (Intense Swanton Bomb) / Wing Clipper (Sit-Out Fisherman’s Driver – desperation finisher)
BIO: Once referred to as REBEL Pro's perennial loser, Jacob Venar trained and prepared to the point where he became addicted to pain and punishment, absolutely DETERMINED to set the record straight and finally go down in the books as one of the greatest wrestlers ever to grace a REBEL Pro ring. A former Carolinas Champion, Venar, with new resolve and a drive unparalleled by anyone, vows to claim the REBEL Pro World Heavyweight Championship and to burn his image into REBEL Pro history as one of the greatest champions ever to grace the ring. By hook or by crook, Venar will FORCE the industry to remember his name, and he has no reservation about ending a few careers on the way there. Personal philosophy; "Quitting is for smokers and losers." Personal motto; "You can't beat me. You can't even stop me."
One of Venar’s finer points is his anger. Constantly hating everyone and everything that stands in his way, it’s his most powerful weapon against his opponents. That, and his crazy threshold for pain and unmatched resilience. Over the years, Venar has developed a huge inferiority complex, taking every little insult personally and vowing to see his opponents suffer for it. Venar’s biggest aspiration in life is to fly, so he takes that and applies it to his wrestling style, using several impressive high-risk maneuvers in his repertoire, along with a newly discovered aptitude for submission and power due to his bulking up since he left REBEL. The most recent development in Venar’s life is that he is legally addicted to pain. That, coupled with his undeniable in ring skill, unmatched determination, and Every-Man-For-Himself mentality makes for the perfect professional wrestler.
Venar has the power. The stage is set. Now all that is left is for the Falcon to burn his name in REBEL Pro history. REBEL Pro will remember him.
APPEARANCE: Muscular with minimal body fat. Well-toned shoulders, arms, chest and abdomen. Red eyes, long black hair, pale skin. Short black beard and chinstrap sideburns. Most of his body, especially his face, is littered with tiny puncture scars and one long scar from the left side of his forehead over the bridge of his nose down to his right cheek from a battle with MacCulloch in 2009. Black wings tattooed on the shoulder blades. Angry raven head tattoo on the right shoulder. Think like a pale, red-eyed, scar-faced Tyler Black.
To the ring he wears long black tights with red wings emblazoned down each side that fade into thick black knee pads and black wrestling boots with red laces. On his right knee he wears a thick knee brace around his knee pad a la Steve Austin. He wears black elbow pads and wrist tape. Out of the ring, he dresses casually; jeans, tee shirt, jacket if it’s cold. He often wears a chain around his neck with a small charm shaped like a bird with its wings spread.

Kalis, Simon
Simon Kalis
Height & Weight: 6'3" and 235lbs
Hometown: Montreal, Quebec Canada
Entrance Music: "Wood" by Ironkid
Wrestling Style: Mat Technician/Street Fighter/Muay Thai Specialist
Five Favorite Moves:
1.) Remembrance: A Muay Thai angle kick which involves using the fell strength of the body in rotation for the kick for extra power)
2.) S.D.S(Sudden Defeat Syndrome): This move is performed with Kalis knocked to the canvas by his opponent. Kalis is on his back and his opponent is going to pick him up by the neck when Kalis rolls himself onto his shoulders and the back of his neck and lifts his legs up toward the opponent, latching onto their neck with his knees both pointed inward. He slams them forward to the canvas and at the same time grinds his knees into their neck while rolling them up for a quick 1, 2, 3. This move always results in a pin attempt.
3.) Sincerely: A quick succession of muay thai kicks to the face, following the opponent as they stumble backwards. Kalis switches from both left and right feet as he kicks three times to drop the opponent to their knees, before Kalis himself falls back quickly and throws both of his feet up to bounce them off the opponents chest. As he lands on his hands and bounces off he uses his two feet once more to deliver a double blow to the opponents face, before jumping forward for a quick pin.)
4.) The Eyes of Eternity: Modified STF
5.) The Order Never Dies! : Spinning Kamikaze
Finisher The Sentencing of the Damned, The Tears of Redemption

FINISHER: The Sellout
FINISHER DESCRIPTION: top-rope frog splash, usually with a chair that he tosses onto the opponent before splashing him
BIO: Pre-REBEL: Michael Mertens was a bottom-of-the-card, mullet-sporting jobber for most of his career. In the early 2000s, he began wrestling for more extreme promotions, earning a decent indy following and the nickname Mikey Massacre, which he seen proudly adopted.
REBEL & NAPW: Mikey Massacre was sought by REBEL Pro for obvious reasons. He joined the fed, became an instant fan favorite and accumulated titles, earning the first real success of his career. He later began questioning the industry he had dedicated his life to, resulting in a dissociative disorder. Eventually, one ‘part’ of his personality won out; he turned on his tag team partner, Nick Everhardt, and became a huge heel, changing his name to Michael Massacre. He denigrated REBEL Pro and the sport of pro wrestling, cumulating in a win at NAPW’s 2009 King of Old School tournament, which he used as a soapbox, preaching his beliefs. He was later turned on by his own disciples at a REBEL Pro event and fled the company.
NAPW: He disappeared for awhile, then returned in NAPW. There are some reports that he was institutionalized; others claim he wrestled in underground events in Japan. All that is known is that when he came to NAPW, the entity formerly known as Mikey(Michael) Massacre went by TWO names, as if he was actually TWO different people: Michael and Massacre. Before agreeing to join NAPW, he had two contracts sent to him, one for each ‘identity.’ Massacre was the wrestler and Michael was 'his' manager. It is believed that a series of beatings from Donovan Astros, Jacob Venar and Jake Phoenix cured him of his split personalities.
REBEL: Mikey Massacre was honored with a spot in the REBEL Icons. During his acceptance speech, he became overwhelmed with emotion for what he had previously done in REBEL. He apologized, and was soon thereafter brought back as REBEL's play-by-play man. He did so for about a year, until one day he snapped, attacking Lisa Seldon, fed up with the direction he perceived REBEL to have taken.

FINISHERS: 1.) The Foreshadowing, 2.) The reVolt
FINISHER DESCRIPTIONS: 1.) Styles Clash, 2.) Cradle Shock
BIO: The man once known to the world as Mad Dogg has seen many feds come and go. He started off in the HFW and tagged with Kidd Wyckedd and G-XTreme. As the fed was seeing it's final days, the trio went to eWo looking for more. GX did not last and looked toward other things. Kidd and Mad Dogg looked for tag gold. The two lost and Kidd left Mad Dogg in the eWo on his own. Mad Dogg hung in the eWo. Searching for his spot. His time came when he beat then Primetime Champ, Seth Thomas in a gauntlet match. Mad Dogg lasted to the final two. He got another shot at the gold and walked away with his first title ever. eWo shut its doors a few week later.
It took nearly a year, but Mad Dogg eventually found his way to the BWF. His fiancée, Krystal Lyne, started training to be a wrestler and joined Mad Dogg in the fed soon after. Mad Dogg pinned Brian Cade backstage on an edition of Crisis to win the BWF Hardcore Championship, then decided to retire the title and bring back his old eWo Primetime Title... which he lost to Phoenix in the first defense of said title. Not one to be deterred, Mad Dogg continued fighting for the gold before an old friend showed up in BWF by the name of Outlaw.
Outlaw and Mad Dogg worked together early on, but Outlaw eventually grew jealous of Mad Dogg and turned on him, leading to a feud between the two that eventually saw Mad Dogg as the victor. From there, Mad Dogg set his sights on gold again, entering the Happenstance Tournament of Kings. In the first round, he shocked the world by pinning Sirus Moran, who was one of the men heavily favored to win the tourney. Mad Dogg lasted until the Semi-Finals, where he was defeated by Shostakovich Kruschev. On the Havok following Happenstance 2006, though, Mad Dogg took on Krazy Whyte Boy for the United States Championship and defeated KWB to claim the gold!
After winning the gold, Mad Dogg squared off against anyone set in his path. Beating up and comer Torin Justice twice, Jake Cash, Shadow, and a few others. After Legend took over the BWF and LWA Mad Dogg felt unused, since he hadn't been booked. He went to RXW Owner, David Blazenwing and asked for a spot. He was told on the July 17th edition of Havok to make a impact and he would. Later that night, with Outlaw, Serenity, and Krystal Lyne (The N-SiderZ) behind him, he took out two guards with a kendo stick, earning him a spot as the RXW U.S. Champ.
After becoming the longest US champ in history, Mad Dogg dropped the belt to J.C. Ice in a brutal battle. Mad Dogg then set his eyes on the big prize, the RXW Title that was around Casey Campbell's waist. Mad Dogg was given the chance to become number one contender with a match against Kyle Cross. When it was over...Cross walked out the winner. This put in motion a change in MDogg. He stopped caring about really everyone around him. He attacked people left and right and changed as a person.
This led to a match up against Dave Blazenwing. DBlaze thought he could stop MDogg so the two battled. That match saw the return of Jen Corlen who helped MDogg win and named him Commissioner and suspended Dave. After a couple weeks, the boys in the back rebelled and MDogg and RXW were over. Mad Dogg had a few weeks to think about what he'd done and now BWF was coming back. He seemed to be his old self after taking time to remember who he was. After an ending to the fight over his heart, that saw both Krystal and Alli released from their contracts, Mad Dogg seemed lost.
A few weeks later, Alli Taylor announced that with her release, she had been named Chief of Staff, and met someone in the process. Cody Clark. Naming him Commissioner, she vowed to make Mad Dogg's life hell. She made his contract null and void, but to her surprise, Jen Corlen had also signed Mad Dogg a new contract, only not as MDogg! As "The Revolution" Gabe Shelley. With it not only comes a name change, Gabe has stated that he has found his heart again. He felt like he once did when he loved what he did and planned on returning to the kind of guy his fans loved.
After Alli and Clark tried making Shelley's life a living hell for weeks, Gabe was able to recapture the US title. Shelley fought and did everything he could to try and stop the Iconoclast from taking over the BWF. Then everything changed when Clark left Alli and started back up the eWo. Shelley's first real home. With BWF falling apart, Alli started her own wrestling company, PGW, and Shelley did what he could to help out. After a few weeks of not moving too far, Shelley left things behind and felt ready to hang it all up.
After fighting with himself in a hard battle of depression, he seemed ready to gain back his life, his world, and his 'beauty'. Alli and Gabe seemed to be getting back to their roots and ready to take eWo by storm. After a few weeks of being back in "the game" Gabe turned up missing with a mysterious voice mail left with eWo management about retiring. After investigation, it appeared that Gabe had not left the voice mail and that he had been kidnapped. Once again BWF was about to opened it's doors back up a man who ended up being Gabe's older brother -JC- had made claim that the man responsible was Gabe's greatest ally, Mark McNasty.
After a battle on Havok involving the McNasty and JC Shelley, Gabe returned and helped Mark take out his brother, a bit of revenge. Gabe told McNasty that he had come back to BWF for one thing, to fulfill his "destiny" and complete his reVolution by becoming the BWF Champ. That even though they were considered friends that the gold meant more to him than he could explain.
After a couple battles with BWF Champ Mark McNasty only to fall short each time to capture the title, the BWF started to enter its final days. Gabe fought in matches here and there but nothing took off after his loses against McNasty. In the final show of BWF, rumors had been flying around that the show would be Shelley's last in the squared circle. Gabe took on BWF Founder David Blazenwing and battled to a no contest. The match ended with a blind side attack by JC Shelley. DBlaze and Gabe took JC to the water shed and left him lying in the ring as the two hugged and left the ring. This was one of the last things that BWF fans would ever see. The company closed and Blazenwing sold all rights and vowed that BWF would never return.
In the community, one of the older feds, PWA was on the verge of a new start. The weeks leading up to the re-opening of PWA no one thought that the marVel would even think about stepping into a new ring. On the debut show Gabe Shelley appeared and took out Kyle Stevenson to capture the #3 key. Each key opened a box with a title inside. Gabe defended his key a few times before being allowed to open his box. Once the show came, Gabe opened up the PWA Television Title.
Shelley had seemed to be on a roll and was back in top form. What happened next is still to this day not all clear. Gabe and PWA ownership has some sort of fall out and Gabe dropped the TV Title and left the company. Each side claimed a different story but one thing was clear. Gabe wasn't done wrestling.
After a period of time, David Blazenwing contacted Gabe, this time not to work for him, because he wanted to team with him in eWo! The two joined forces as Tru Revolution and worked a few matches. The two even won the vacant eWo Tag Team Titles at Guilty as Charged in September of '08, beating the New Standard. The team only held the titles for 22 days before dropping them to Nick Toretto and Eden Turner. After that the team disbanned when each member of Tru Revolution took a leave of absence citing personal issues. Rumor was that Dave had family issues to take care of and Gabe was seemingly on the verge of retiring. Gabe thought that he had fought off all of his demons but had them resurface near the beginning of 2009.
Gabe took time to travel along side Alli Taylor's band Heaven From Above and eventually took over most of the lead singing for the band. This gave Gabe time to figure out his life and look back on the things that made him happy. Then it happened, he started to get that itch that every wrestler gets. He wanted back in. Yes, again. He knew that there were things he still wanted to do and turned to Cody Clark. The two talked for a few weeks and came to agreement that they would get Gabe back into the ring by summer.
The only thing that no one saw, Cody selling the company to Lyea Williams and Ray Davis. On their first week of running the company they began to call all the contracted talent and figured out who was in and who was out. Alli Taylor was on this list. Many names were in fact. Including Gabe Shelley. Gabe told the two that he would love to come and help them re jump start the place he always ends up calling home, eWo.
Gabe came back to eWo in a fashion. He was the first entrant in the annual BodyCount rumble and was able to last 29 other people and win. With the win, he was set to headline the eWo World Title match at Supremacy two months later. During that time, Gabe had ups and down and had a short feud with his former rival's, Chris Roman's brother, Johnny Roman. With just 1 month before the big match, eWo underwent a shake up. Cody Clark had come back and fired Williams and Davis and put Hunter Hartmann back in charge. Just a week later, eWo did not air it's show. Violence was set to air but nothing. No one comments on what may have happened but eWo closed it's doors. Some say that Clark told everyone to go home and that was that.
After the closure of eWo, Gabe decided he was once again done with the business. During his time in eWo, he had met a former eWo star, Xaria Linette, by chance while he was visiting Paris for business. The two have become very close and a love seemingly is on the blossom. With eWo closing down, Gabe decided that it was time to focus on his life. He is trying to open a few night clubs across the states and even one in Paris. He also hopes to focus on Xaria and their possibilities.
Gabe didn't stay away from wrestling long as in August, an old friend of his came calling. Wade Mason was set to open up the True Glory Wrestling based out of San Diego, California and asked what interests Gabe might have. Shelley told his friend that he wasn't interested in getting back into the ring, but they came to an agreement. Gabe would come work for TGW as one of the trainers/agents. He's worked with almost everyone that has stepped through the doors of the company.
In late October, Mark Sommers of the PWA was calling. Genesis was just a few months away and he was trying to get together as many old faces as he could and told Shelley he'd love to see him lace them up one more time. Days later, a BWF Title match was announced. Mark McNasty and Gabe both wanted the shot. Sommers pushed and changed the set match to a 4 Way for the title. McNasty ultimately backed out leaving it to a triple threat match. Gabe Shelley would lace up his boots one more time for a title that meant so much to him, a title he chased his entire career. This time he would battle against one of his best friends, David Blazenwing and one of his biggest foes, Casey Campbell. This time, he had nothing to lose.
Hours before the event however, Blazenwing pulled himself out of the match and replaced himself with Katie Starr. Starr vowed that she wouldn't let her past emotions for Gabe get in the way of the outcome of the match, promising a victory. At Genesis X. Mark Sommers named himself the special guest referee for the BWF Title bout. As the match started, Sommers superkicked Shelley as the other 2 competitors went at it. Many felt that Sommers' kick was the product of Shelley leaving PWA years back. Starr and Campbell went at it but Campbell gained an upperhand, PWN'ing Starr out of the ring. As he looked to the outside of the ring Shelley dove up and rolled Campbell up and Sommers counted the 3 count!
Shelley celebrated with the BWF title and was on top of his world. He had promised himself that upon winning he would get rid of all of his wrestling gear, giving it to his sister for safe keeping. He had turned down a match from Blazenwing and swore retirement.
Sadly, his euphoria didn't last long. About a month later, Gabe and Xaria Linette separated. After Alli Taylor stepped into TGW and took the majority of the company where Xaria was apart of the roster, things became tense between them. Xaria didn't want to tell Gabe she was worried that he's leave, Gabe couldn't find a way to prove to her that he had no feelings for Alli anymore. This made the seemingly couple split but Gabe promised that it wasn't goodbye, just a time of personal searching for the two of them.
He went into hiding for the most part. Gabe took visits to Paris again hoping to find the feeling of optimism that he felt before BodyCount. After about a month Gabe made his ways back to the States and settled back into San Diego and is on the verge of finally opening his long dreamed about nightclub. He is using the summer to work on opening and is hoping to have everything ready by September. As far as his love life, Gabe goes a day at a time. There had been no contact between himself and Xaria since the day they broke up to the surprise of many.
At the beginning of summer of 2010, there was a lot of talk about a possible return of Gabe. Over the months he had met a new girl and things seemed back on track. Many thought he would return to PWA and work for Sommers yet again, but Mark took a extended vacation away from the front office of PWA. Things weren't as public this time around but Gabe was left under some circumstances by his then girlfriend, Alexia Fender.
Not long after, Gabe was set to come back to wrestling. He had been coxed out of retirement by a company in Ontario. SOCW was opening and it was a place Gabe felt he could walk into and not only make an impact, but be apart of something huge. Sadly, he was mistaken. The week he was set to debut the CEO filed for bankruptcy. The summer of 2010 was not nearly what people had expected for Gabe. At the end of it, his then girlfriend from the TGW, Natalie Burrows, left him. Leaving Gabe reeling, heartbroken for the third time in under a year.
Now, it’s the fall, October is here and the talks of Gabe returning is heating up yet again. Just like times before he is traveling the country and it’s believed he’s looking for a new place to call home. Many offers and contracts were offered to Gabe but he turned down every one of them, saying he needed to fix things in his life before he returned to wrestling. Many believed that would be cut short when the rumors of the eWo possibly reopening. However, he quickly shot down any speculation that he would sign with them. A few weeks later, David Blazenwing announced that BWF would be reopening and that Gabe would not be recognized as a champion, as he won the belt in a PWA ring.
This quickly turned into a battle of words between the two men and Gabe even threatened to sue. A few days later, Blazenwing offered a deal and contract to Gabe. He if showed up to the first Havok, he would be recognized as a former champion. If he resigned with the company, he would be recognized as the current BWF Champion. Outside of the ring, Gabe seemed to have life back on track until one day, in typical Gabe fashion, his world flipped. His girlfriend walked out on him and he was left alone to decide where to take his career.
The BWF weeks away from the reopen and Gabe signed the contract on the first edition of Havok. Over the course of the next 4 months, Gabe's career was never better. He defeated challenger after challenger for his BWF World Championship and even finally captured the BWF World Tag Team Championship with friend Xaria Linette just weeks after resigning a short term contract with eWo. Linette and Shelley captured the eWo Tag Team Championships and help the BWF Tag Team Championships at the same time, until Linette was fired from eWo.
Gabe turned to a new friend in Emily Corlen to help him defend the titles at BodyCount, where they were successful. Just a few short weeks later, BWF's WrestleFest event quickly approached and Gabe had been introduced as the top of the 2011 BWF Hall of Fame class after defeating David Blazenwing. At WrestleFest, Gabe lost to Emily Corlen but was granted a rematch after having his foot under the ropes. He went on to beat her to become the only 3 time BWF World Champion. At the end of the night BWF was sold to a new buyer.
The following week Gabe stepped down from the ring due to injuries and vacated the BWF Title but promised to not be away for long. The fans were shocked to learn that BWF's new owner was none other than Gabe Shelley himself! Gabe's in-ring career seemed to hit a snag after leaving eWo abruptly due to injuries in his knee. He has turned to REBEL Pro after eWo officials told him he could no longer compete in their ring as they didn't want to risk further injury.
Gabe's outside life has finally smoothed out over time and he is engaged to now Rebel Pro star, Alexia Fender.
