[Big GAT stands at the top of the ramp and aggressively pounds his chest with his right hand before slowly lifting his [CHAMPIONSHIP] into the air. As he raises the belt, a shimmering wall of golden pyro cascades down behind him! The fans cheer at the sight of Gatsby, raising their fist along with the big man. He walks down the aisle, bobbing his head to the beat of the song and dapping fans on his way to the ring. Gatsby uses the ring steps to climb up onto the ring apron in a single bound and wipes his boots before he enters the ring. He walks across the ring to the opposite corner and lifts himself up onto the middle ropes. He pounds on his chest again and slowly lifts his [CHAMPIONSHIP] up once more as the fans in attendance cheer for the fan-favorite.]

Biography: Rich Gatsby is a former bodyguard to several famous hip hop recording artists. On an off-day in Japan while on tour, Gatsby was able to witness the beautiful brutality known as Puroresu. Since that day, he knew he wanted to be involved in the sport of professional wrestling. Gatsby quit his day job and moved to Japan in order to study the sport of Puroresu. After several months of being a gaijin young lion, he returned to the States to continue his training with Katsuyori Shibata at the LA Dojo. Although he possesses everything that would check off boxes of a top star, Gatsby continues to grind and stay humble.
