BIOGRAPHY: Gabe grew up in San Diego with an abusive stepfather and brother who ended up becoming an abuser. He decided to take a different path than his older brother, escaping as a teen into backyard feds, which got his talent noticed. His natural transitions in the ring were so smooth that he was eventually invited to an actual wrestling Camp in Nevada, which he would later call home. After training professionally for years, he was about to secure a place on a small market circuit. Gabe's infectious desire to bury himself in his craft made his biggest matches also his best performances. Time and experience became his aging process, like wine, waiting to be delivered at just the right moment in time. That moment came in the now defunct eWo. Gabe made his national name in the business by defeating long reigning eWo World Heavyweight Champion Seth Dryden as part of a cross promotional Invasion angle(the 2000's, lol). Gabe would go on to star in other places, causing a love hate relationship that turned to devotion through his now famous "RenoVerse," while picking up some gold straps along the way. He became known the world over for his big-time output in Main Event and PPV matches back when PPV was the only way to see the top cards in the game. XWF would become his next home. He entered his first match after a long hiatus and won a 20 man Battle Royal in his fed debut, taking with him the Xtreme Championship. Gabe would work great matches, have an amazing Tag Team called Iconoclast with XWF standout Chris Chaos, forging another chapter in a legacy of success. Eventually the teammates would part when they were pinned against each other for the ultimate XWF prize, the XWF Universal Championship. After a huge lead-in the two would battle in a series of epic matches, with Reno coming out victorious among the pair to take his rightful place in XWF history.
After, Gabe would burst onto the WWH stage through Sanatorium, where history looked to begin to repeat itself after a few dominant wins. Iconoclast, with he and former fierce XWF rival Chris Chaos would win the WWH World Tag Championship and later the WC World Team Championships. Suddenly, as Chris Chaos appeared in WGWF, signs and signals led to there being more... until the eventual reveal on Smash when after mysteriously months of menacing attacks, the two masked "John Cable's" were revealed to be Iconoclast, drawing the letters WGWF side by side after attacking SEX, the WGWF dominate Tag Team Champions.

ENTRANCE THEME MUSIC: "The Man" by The Killers
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
Tension rises backstage at Guerrilla, staff polos of WGWF lifers discuss if it will really happen or not amongst themselves through whispers and ongoings. Lights swirl to a stopping point, signifying the next entrant into the arena. Golden streams converge into one larger bigger golden spotlight on the ramp display. 'The Man' by The Killers fills the arena.
Wrestling fans go apeshit in boos and cheers with a mixed reaction for the enigmatic most hated man in wrestling. Finally, just as anticipation wanes that the intro may be a ploy, The Radical playfully emerges wearing his sharp jacket hoody and matching fresh gear. Fanatics push each other, unbelieving their eyes that it has happened, that WGWF did in fact pull the trigger on the biggest asshole in the industry. His plain but classic motif oozes cool as fans boo and cheer the heavy hitter in either direction throughout his long-storied career. He flicks the hoody back as usual, revealing the trademark smarmy smirk that made his both famous and infamous all the same. The familiar strut glides him toward the ring as he locks eyes with his advisory. Business focused as always, ready to put on a fucking show under the brightest lights.
Reno springs in from the apron with his lusting eyes for his true addiction, in-ring competition. A WGWF official gives him a quick pat down for illegal objects, then signals for a match initiation. Fans collectively release the breath they've been holding in for the last several moments. The rumors are true, 'Radical' Gabe Reno is in a WGWF ring, ready to radicalize another eye-quivering performance.
