MANAGER(S)
Frank Barnes. Barnes is a former professional wrestler, who spent most of his career in the United Kingdom and touring around Europe. Known as one of the greatest bad guys in the British Isles, Barnes was renowned for his hard hitting style and lack of morals. When he retired in 2006, he opened up a wrestling school in Limerick, Ireland, hoping to train and coach the next crop of talent coming out of Ireland. After returning home to Northern Ireland due to injury, Rydell went down to Limerick to train at Barnes' academy. The pair became friends, and when Rydell chose to return to VoW, Barnes joined Rydell and came with him to America. He can be found on Twitter here.

ENTRANCE THEME
"The Feel Good Drag" by Anberlin
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
The lights around the arena turn off, and as the song starts, they begin to flicker on and off, shooting white light randomly around the arena. At 0:04 in the track, all the lights shine white for a second, before turning red and purple, with a few white, all flashing around the arena. Rydell bursts through the curtain, sporting his trademark "Luck is for Losers" t-shirt, where he pauses at the top of the ramp, where he howls like a wolf, arms out by his side. He walks down the ramp, eyeing the crowd, and sliding underneath the bottom rope. He climbs the closest turnbuckle, on the left hand side, and holds his arms out wide, glaring at the crowd. He hops down, and sits down on the bottom turnbuckle, finishing his entrance.

BIOGRAPHY
Matt Rydell was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to Robert and Mary Rydell. He stayed there until he was four, but a mixture of the civil war going on in the country, along with Matt's father getting a job in Los Angeles, the family left in 1993. Rydell's family were well off, so Matt never struggled financially. Matt was never a popular kid, choosing to remain to himself, which is a trait that remains with him to this day. Rydell began training to be a wrestler at the age of 15, when he began training in a local school in Los Angeles. Rydell competed in the indies until 2009, when he signed a contract with the Bebo Wrestling Network, and began competing in Real Edge Wrestling and Championship Online Alliance. Rydell then moved on to Ultimate Bebo Wrestling, which is counted as the greatest federation in BWN history, and remained there until it closed. He then moved to World Turmoil Federation, where he remained until the BWN closed. Matt then joined Infinity Wrestling, ran by the same team in charge of UBW, where he remained until it's closure in 2014.
