3 - There are few lines Logan isn't willing to cross. He'll bend the rules. He'll take cheap shots. He'll exploit weaknesses mercilessly. But he won't outright break the rules and will avoid doing anything that would result in a disqualification if caught. The only exception to that is if someone does something like that to him first, but he'll wait for the ideal time to get even.

MOVESET

WRESTLING STYLE:
1. Technical
2. Submission

Notes for matchwriting:
Using his extensive technical wrestling background, chain and mat wrestling skills, Logan aims to wear down his opponents to leave them vulnerable to his submissions and to create openings for him to end matches with his signature moves.
He’ll use chain wrestling to control the match and is an excellent counter wrestler, able to transition into many of his favoured moves.
Logan will use all parts of the ring and the area around it to weaken his opponent as opportunities arise. He is willing to push the limits on disqualifications in this regard, but will not do anything blatant that could cause one.
His strategy focuses on using his submissions to win, but he will go for pinfalls after big moves or as counters
If his opponent shows or has a weakness he is aware of, Logan will exploit or target it
He's stoic and essentially mute in the ring. It's rare to get any audible feedback from him in the course of a match. He's a picture of calm composure, difficult to fluster or draw a reaction from in or out of the ring. He doesn’t play to the crowd or argue with the referee and rarely taunts his opponent. He leaves most of that to Theodore.

Theodore is likely to be talking with Logan throughout a match, offering his observations and suggestions, allowing Logan to adjust his tactics mid-match. Theodore will alert Logan to attacks that he might not be aware of, potentially giving him additional moments to react.

FINISHING MOVES:
1. Dying Echo – Cloverleaf leg lace Boston crab (standard [Sharpshooter] or half turned [Edgecator])
Logan’s signature submission hold is mainly used after he has weakened the back of his opponent. He has two variants for this hold. The half turned variant is the main one he uses for most of his opponents, while the standard variant is used against heavier opponents who are harder to half turn. Logan can apply both variants of this hold on opponents that are face up or face down on the mat, so he won’t need to roll them over to start applying it. Logan will counter into this hold if anyone applies this or any other similar submission hold (Boston crab, Texas cloverleaf, etc.) on him.

2. The Silencer – Forward falling neck breaker [Ace Crusher/Diamond Cutter]
Logan’s all-purpose finishing move. Unlike most modern versions of this move, Logan will hold onto his opponent’s head with both hands to maximize control of his opponent. He can perform it one handed if necessary though, but generally won’t. Logan is so well versed in this move that he can hit it virtually anywhere so long as he can get hold of his opponent’s head, making it a very easy move for him to use as a counter at almost any moment.

3. Soundproofed – Samoan driver [Cradle Shock]
Logan’s secondary finisher. Usually used if his opponent has been staggered or if his opponent moves into a position when Logan can grab them and hit it easily. Logan will try to get under an opponent and lift them up into a fireman’s carry, before lifting and transitioning them into position for a belly to belly piledriver while dropping himself to a seated position. He’ll use this move from an elevated position as well, especially if his opponent moves up into such a place first. Logan will hold onto his opponent after hitting this move if possible for an immediate pinfall attempt. He's not likely to lift anyone over 300 pounds for this move.

4. The Last Word - Forward flipping piledriver [Canadian Destroyer]
Logan's statement finisher. He's only likely to use this move in the later part of a match after wearing down his opponent to reduce the likelihood of counter attempts. Logan may use this move from an elevated position, but due to the potential risks, he'll rarely attempt it. He's not likely to attempt this move on anyone over 275 pounds.

TRADEMARK MOVES:
1. A Loss for Words – Rear naked choke with body scissors
Logan uses this as an alternate submission finisher when opportunities arise. He can apply this hold on standing or face down opponents. He will not apply this to opponents over 300 pounds when they are standing as they can easily break the hold by falling backwards.

2. Muted - Jumping stomp to a doubled over opponent or opponent on all fours [Curb Stomp]
Logan waits to use this move on recovering opponents as they attempt to regain their feet. He tends to use a short running start making it harder to see coming, so he's most likely to use this move against opponents on all fours. If he's in a corner when his opponent goes down, he may perform this move from the second rope, which will be the only time he'll try to hit an opponent who's doubled over and on their feet. He will use this move consecutively if the opportunity arises against one or multiple opponents.

3. Dead Air – Implant DDT (standard or inverted), draping DDT (with opponent hung on ropes or barricade) or elevated DDT (pulling opponent off a table or other raised surface)
Logan can perform the implant variant from in front of or behind his opponent and the draping or elevated variants with his opponent face up or down. He’ll lock in a face lock or an inverted face lock, then lift his opponent off the mat or drag them from their elevated position and fall backwards to drive then head first into the mat or floor.

4. Full Stop – STO (standard or reverse)
Logan can perform this move from in front of or behind his opponent. The only difference is whether Logan approaches his opponent or his opponent approaches him. If Logan moves to his opponent, he’ll grab hold of them for an STO and then use his momentum to drive his opponent backwards to the mat. If Logan’s opponent moves to him, Logan will grab hold of them for an STO and then use their momentum to pull them forward and drive them face first into the mat.

5. A Long Pause – Multiple/Bridging German suplexes
Logan performs this move by generally using from two to five German suplexes in succession, but can use more especially if he needs to wear down an opponent. After hitting two German suplexes, Logan may begin bridging the suplex to try and score a pinfall and he may make successive attempts to do so. In multi person matches, Logan may switch opponents in the process of executing this move, landing one or two suplexes before getting hold of someone else and continuing, foregoing pinfall attempts.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND

PERSONALITY:
Logan is a no nonsense competitor. Direct and to the point, he’s looking to succeed in whatever he does. He appreciates a challenge, but won’t let them sidetrack him from victory. Confident in his skills, he is there to push his limits and grow while also notching as many accomplishments as he can along the way.
He’s a closed off and private individual outside of the ring, outwardly cold to everyone around him. Even Theodore. He’s hard to read or anticipate. While not at all a loose cannon, at times he can be willing and able to do whatever comes to his mind, consequences be damned.

STRENGTHS:
1. Counter wrestling – Logan has dedicated most of his time, whether as an active competitor or not, to refining his in ring style and studying the styles of others. This has led him to learning the ins and outs of numerous wrestling moves and holds. Through this he has become highly skilled at escaping, reversing, blocking or countering the offense of his opponents. Trying to mat wrestle with him is a losing proposition unless one is of, at least, comparable skill.
2. Will/Fortitude – While easy to knock down, he’s difficult to keep down. Logan has great determination and stamina. He’ll always look for a way to keep fighting, even when his situation seems hopeless. He’s lasted through marathon matches, multiple matches in a night, brutal hardcore matches, and fought through serious injuries, and more often than not he’s surprised people who’d written him off in those situations.
3. Ring Awareness – Logan knows how to use the ring to his advantage without breaking the rules, making use of different parts of the ring to weaken his opponents. He also has an uncanny awareness of where he and his opponents are in and around the ring at any time. He’ll use rope breaks to conserve his energy, or roll into or out of the ring to avoid attacks or gather his wits. Theodore adds to this as he can keep Logan aware of things he normally couldn't be aware of.

WEAKNESSES:
1. Average competitor - Logan is not particularly strong or fast or agile. He can be easily outclassed in any of those areas by his opponents. So long as those opponents can control the tempo of the match, he’s at a disadvantage.
2. History of injuries – Logan has been prone to injuries in his career, usually due to opponents going to greater lengths to keep him down. The resulting injuries and after effects of them have reduced his wrestling repertoire and affected his ability to match stronger or faster opponents on their own terms.
3. Self-reliant – Logan prefers to handle his problems on his own rather than getting others mixed up in them. This leaves him vulnerable to coordinated teams or factions that he fights against, both in and out of matches. This also makes him intolerant of people interfering in matches to assist him.

TAUNTS/MANNERISMS:
1. Occasionally, if a downed opponent is getting back to their feet, Logan will move to an unoccupied corner of the ring and crouch down while he waits. He's most likely to use a strike, move or pinfall attempt with a running start.
2. When Logan is in a superior position and he is not able to go after a downed or recovering opponent easily or when his opponent is keeping their distance and not able to attack him quickly, Logan will stand up straight, half turn away from his opponent, then point towards them with a finger gun. When 'fired', Logan will bring his hand back close to his face then, leaving only his thumb extended, he'll make a throat slashing gesture.

BACKGROUND:
(Reader beware should you decide to progress beyond this point. Get yourself something to eat and drink, as you may be here a while if you wish to go on.)

Logan Alexander has been one of the most talented technical wrestlers seen over much of the last two decades. Going all the way back to his professional debut in 2004, he has been a solid competitor that seemed destined for success regardless of where he was competing. As most observers rightly predicted, all he needed was time to make his mark in the wrestling world.

After a few years of training and taking part in strictly local wrestling shows and events in and around his home city of Toronto, Logan finally set out in the late spring of 2003 to join the independent wrestling circuit in North America. He traveled across provinces and states, honing his skills in front of the small crowds that gathered to see the shows, working short tours for one promoter and then moving on to the next as soon as possible. This is how things proceeded for sixteen months. At that point, Logan caught his first break.

A small federation, Prime Time Wrestling, was just reopening its doors in August 2004 and Logan was able to sign his contract with them in time for their debut show. Despite losing his debut match, Logan’s time in PTW allowed him to achieve some career firsts, his first victory, first submission win, first main event appearance, and first title match which was for the PTW X-Division championship. It was also the site of his first controversy as his first title match opportunity ended with the owner of the federation bringing the match to a halt and declaring it a no contest while Logan had his opponent in his submission finisher, the Chaos Breaker. It was his first run in with an authority figure and it resulted in him being cheated out of a championship. Little did he realize, this was the start of a trend that would continue through his career.

It turned out that that match was his final one in PTW. The federation quietly closed its doors a week later.

On the heels of this event, Logan found another opportunity. One of the wrestlers in PTW put him in touch with the owner of another federation that was going to be reopening soon, and Logan’s short stint in PTW had been enough to gain his interest. In short order, Logan signed another contract and prepared himself for the Internet Wrestling Alliance’s first major event, the Tournament of Champions. It was a seven person single elimination tournament with the winner becoming the World Heavyweight champion and the runner up becoming the iWa champion. Logan defied all expectations, winning the tournament and defeating the iWa’s former standard bearer, Royalty, in the finals. Logan would carry the title for almost two months before losing it to Royalty in a return match, but Royalty was promptly taken out by another wrestler, Collin O’Shey, the man Logan lost to in his wrestling debut and the title was vacated. This led to another tournament for the World title to be held over the next month. Logan again won his opening round match and was scheduled to face Collin in the second round. Their match ended in controversy when Logan performed a German suplex and the referee counted the fall against him. It was revealed the following week that while Collin had gotten his shoulder off the mat, Logan had done the same, but it had gone unnoticed by the referee. The decision was not overturned and Logan felt that he had again been cheated out of the opportunity to regain the World championship. Instead, he was given an iWa championship match, which was a reward for everyone that was eliminated in the second round of the tournament, but he would receive his first. Logan did not disappoint his fans, winning that match and the championship at what turned out to be iWa’s final show. Logan’s main feud was against Royalty, Maverick and iWa owner Hunter White, who took exception to Logan winning the Tournament of Champions.

Within days of Logan’s iWa title victory, iWa itself closed its doors.

In less than a month though, Logan again found another federation to take part in, Maximum Adrenaline Wrestling. Alas, this was a short term opportunity as MAW only held one show, but it did feature Logan’s first TLC match appearance, which ended in a draw when the item they were fighting for, an I.O.U. slip, ripped in two with each competitor landing with a piece.

After this, Logan was unable to sign on with any other federations. Resigned to accepting his lack of options, in early March 2005, Logan returned to competing regularly on the independent circuit once again.

That is how things remained for seven months.

In October 2005, Logan was contacted by a representative of the American Wrestling Alliance, a large federation that had been operating for many years. It was a big break for Logan, but shortly after he’d signed on, the AWA had a management crisis that forced them to close temporarily. When the doors reopened, Logan had a strong showing over the remainder of the year, winning his debut match on pay per view, earning a place in a battle royal for the AWA World Heavyweight championship in his first month, and becoming the number one contender for the AWA United States championship at the last show of the year. He opened 2006 by winning the United States championship. It was a sign of things to come for Logan, as by the end of the year he’d have held the AWA Cruiserweight championship and the AWA Tag Team championship while won the United States championship an AWA record four times, while also tallying up the second longest US title reign along the way, and he was also a double champion, carrying the US and Cruiserweight championships together, for a brief time. His first full year in the AWA gave him several notable feuds against talents like ‘The Storm’ Terry James, Steve ‘Hellraisin’ Holly, two time AWA World Heavyweight champion Jayson ‘Misery’ Price, and David Matthews, who was more commonly known as Snake.

Logan opened his second year by turning heel then won his fourth distinct title: the AWA No Limits championship, which he also held long enough to earn the second longest reign with, and rose to a main event position, challenging for the AWA World Heavyweight championship in the first three months of the year. He wasn’t able to capture that title on three separate occasions though, one of which was an elimination chamber match where he was the last person eliminated. He came close, but ultimately failed, in two attempts to become the number one contender once again later on in the year, one was the AWA’s King of the Kage pay per view tournament, where he lost in the finals. He added a second Cruiserweight championship reign and a fifth United State championship reign to his name by the end of his second year though. The AWA closed down for a few months from October to December, following some internal problems among management. In this year, Logan faced a lot of tougher competition along the way. His notable feuds were against Nathan Hawthorne Lee and John Williams, both of whom were multi time AWA World Heavyweight champions, rising star Evan Heir, and the man widely regarded as the greatest competitor to compete in the AWA, Brian Rhode, better known as the Legendary Low.

Upon returning to action there for his third year, Logan won a tournament for the Cruiserweight championship and then at the end of March in 2008, he finally won the AWA World Heavyweight championship after a month long chase of the champion Jason Storm and trying to overcome the obstacles put in his way by, the AWA commissioner at the time, Low. He remained on top for almost three months, but Logan found that during this time, he faced a lot of opposition from the head office of AWA and felt that he was being subtly undermined and held back. Despite being the AWA World Heavyweight champion, he rarely main evented shows and mainly faced opposition that weren’t main event caliber. Finally his reign came to an end at the hands of Low in a best of three falls match with different stipulations on each fall, and suffering a serious knee injury from a vicious assault at his hands. At this point, things weren’t going so well for the AWA by this point as internal issues started to erode the foundation of the company. Logan carried on through his injury for the final two months that the company was active, but in his final match for AWA in August 2008, Logan suffered another serious injury as he had several bones in his ankle fractured by his last opponent ‘the Dark Warrior’ Jeff Christianson. Logan’s third year revolved around his continuing rivalries with Low, Evan Heir, and a returning Terry James, and new rivalries with Jason Storm, and Jeff Christianson.

After the brutal stretch Logan had endured during the last few months, he was forced to move away from competition to let his wounds heal, even though he was approached by multiple organizations that weren’t aware of the full scope of his injuries. Logan instead focused his attention on other possible ventures while he was in the process of recovering from his knee and ankle injuries. It was in early 2009 that Logan acquired some property outside Toronto and had construction started there on what was going to turn into his personal contribution back to the wrestling world, the Alexander Wrestling Training School. By the middle of 2009, Logan had begun classes with the help of other wrestlers he had befriended over the years at an alternate location while construction continued at his future school location. He took a great deal of enjoyment from training prospective members for the next generation of wrestlers. It also gave him a chance to get back in ring condition and learn some new skills from others as well.

In July of 2009, Logan was contacted by representatives of the Ultimate Wrestling Alliance. It was a federation that featured competitors from different organizations, including many members formerly of the AWA. It was a light schedule, and Logan would be able to continue his classes without much interruption, so he decided to give it a try. His return to action turned out to be better than he would have expected as he was undefeated in his four matches in the UWA, but the UWA started having trouble with talent relations among the various companies that had their talent coming in to compete and in November they closed.

Even with the UWA closing, Logan had received offers from a couple of the companies that had been providing talent to the company. Eventually he settled on American Championship Wrestling and he debuted at the beginning of the new year. He was undefeated in singles competition for almost four months, capturing the ACW Survivor championship in his fourth match and ended up being the longest reigning Survivor champion in company history. During that time, he got mixed up in a feud between the owner and a stable known as Toxic Melody, led by David ‘Snake’ Matthews and made up of competitors who also had clout with management which culminated in a twelve person war games match in a barbed wire double cage, which his side lost. A month after losing the championship to a member of Toxic Melody, Eric Donavan, he became an ACW Tag Team champion and also captured the ACW United States a month after winning the tag titles, becoming a double champion for the second time in his career. A month after becoming US champion, Logan suffered a partial muscle tear of his bicep, in a match against ACW World Heavyweight champion Snake, in July and given his history with injuries, he withdrew from competition to let the injury heal rather than risking further damage. Up to this point, Logan had mainly feuded with Eric Donavan and David ‘Snake’ Matthews and the rest of Toxic melody by extension.

In more personal matters, back in February of 2010, Logan had become friends with another competitor on the ACW roster, Michaelina Summers. The two of them had become fast friends after they had faced one another in an ACW Survivor championship match. Their relationship quickly grew into something more within a few months, but they did as much as they could to keep their relationship quiet and out of the public spotlight so long as they were competing.

One month after Logan was injured, Snake suffered a far more serious injury and was forced to vacate his championship. Displaying his clout with management, Snake was allowed to pick the competitors who would make up a tournament to crown a new champion. Much to Logan’s surprise, he was one of the eight selected wrestlers. Logan was not yet fully healed, but he would likely have been cleared to compete. Despite pressure from ACW management as they attempted to get him to return for the championship tournament, they would not change the weight restrictions on the title, which exempted Logan from being able to compete for it anyway. So even if he’d won the tournament, he could not be the champion. Realizing that, Logan refused to take part in the tournament as ACW management clearly didn’t have his best interests at heart.

Eventually, when he did return to action in American Championship Wrestling in November, his passion for the business wasn’t there. Instead, it seemed he had turned more of his attention towards fulfilling a mentoring role rather than being focused on in ring competition. He partnered up with former rival Evan Heir, now known as Evan Harrison, and his manager Aubrey J. Parker offering the both of them what guidance he could in and out of the ring. His own time in the ring was disappointing as he lost all of his singles matches over the following two months. Furthermore, he suffered bruised ribs after being thrown from the ring by ‘Cowboy’ Shane Brooks during a match in December, which provided a major source of motivation for him going forward and helped push him into one more championship match. Then during his last match in January, a triple threat US title match against Shane Brooks and the ‘Big Apple Asskicker’ A.C. Smith, he suffered a serious back injury when he was carelessly thrown from the ring by Smith and landed awkwardly on the bottom of the entry ramp near the ring barricade. During this brief return, Logan feuded with Shane Brooks and A.C. Smith.

The injury he suffered had effectively ended Logan’s career, leaving him in a wheelchair, and he decided to retire from in ring competition. He spent the remainder of 2011 recovering from his back injury, mainly focused on the management of his now established wrestling school, which had officially opened in early 2010. The school was almost always in a state of near constant addition and improvement as time passed from then on though, slowly changing and growing. Michaelina actually encouraged Logan to push his school beyond just being a wrestling school, though that would remain at the heart of what the school did. So in the middle of 2011, his school began adding other training facilities and started promoting other programs. They were on a very small scale to start off, but it opened the doors for the school to offer training programs for athletes from other sports and trainers and coaches from other fighting disciplines.

It was eight months after his injury that Logan was finally able to resume a more active role back in his school, able at last to get around without the wheelchair and be more involved with training drills. But it wasn’t until early in 2012 that Logan was finally about to get back into a wrestling ring in any capacity. It was a huge thing for him to be able to do so after the injury he’d suffered, even if it was just to train others. It took him several months to start regaining his conditioning and form after a year away, but he was pleased to see that many of his previous injuries had healed to the point that he was able to function well in the ring. His form was not as polished as it once was, which was to have been expected after such a long layoff, but he felt fairly confident that should he ever feel inclined to reenter the ring, he would be able to do so. It would take time for him to get back to where he had been at the start of 2011 and be truly competitive, but he wasn’t in any hurry.

In late spring of 2012, Logan and Michaelina got married. She’d already been an important part of his life for more than two years by this point, but they decided it was time to make it official. For the first time in a long time, Logan finally felt that everything was as it should be in his life, personally and professionally.

In the middle of summer in 2012, Logan received an unexpected call from an old acquaintance, Aubrey J. Parker. She extended him an invitation to join her as her tag team partner in Action Packed Wrestling, where she was planning on making her debut as an in ring competitor at the end of August. It didn’t leave him much time to consider his options, but she had been quite persuasive as she seemed to be looking for someone that she could trust as a friend, a partner and a mentor to be at her side, have her back, and also be able to help her forge ahead. Logan viewed himself as being in more of a supportive role rather than just being a competitor, and that seemed to suit his tastes at the time. He’d accomplished quite a lot over the last eight years already and didn’t need to do more, but having the opportunity to do so while helping Aubrey establish herself as a professional seemed a good place for him. So, by the middle of August, Logan was ready to start anew in APW.

Starting out on APW’s entry brand, Meltdown, Logan was involved in a mix of singles and tag action, getting established in each division. In October, he qualified for his first APW title opportunity in a seven competitor last person standing match for the APW North American championship. He was the third person eliminated and Aubrey went on to win the title. Over the next three weeks, Logan became the number one contender for the NA title and he and Aubrey met in a no disqualification match with the Meltdown general manager’s assistant, Sienna Harrison as the guest referee. Sienna didn’t like Logan or Aubrey, so she called the match very inconsistently. After several wrestlers interfering, Logan won the title. The following week he tried to vacate the title in protest of the match result, only to be confronted by Sienna about it, who he then dropped in the ring before walking out. From that point on Logan and Aubrey were targeted by several other wrestlers acting on behalf of the Meltdown general manager. Logan was still acknowledged as the NA champion heading into the final shows of December and he and Aubrey made it to the finals of a tag team tournament for the vacant APW Tag Team championship. Logan retained the NA title, cementing his place as champion, but failed to capture tag team gold.

Aubrey was promoted to APW’s Asylum show roster in December while he remained on Meltdown as champion. In early January, they became top contenders for the tag team titles and won the titles before the end of the month. The Meltdown general manager was still intent on getting the championship off Logan and sent several challengers against him through January. Even with biased officiating and interference in his matches Logan continued to carry the NA title through January, but finally lost the title in February as the numbers finally became too much to overcome. Shortly thereafter, Logan was promoted to Asylum. Up to this point, Logan had been in major feuds with ‘The Perfect 10’ Kaylyn Evans, ‘The Finnish Phenom’ Tuhoa Valo, ‘The Canadian Sensation’ Christian Kane and ‘The Main Attraction’ Young Mannie.

As he worked to find his place on Asylum’s roster, he and Aubrey lost the Tag Team championship in March. Throughout April and into May, the Asylum general manager was assembling an APW Knock Out championship gauntlet match by accepting three volunteers to face the champion and then having a four way qualifying match for the fifth gauntlet spot. Logan won the qualifying match and then the gauntlet match to capture the Knock Out championship, seemingly out of spite for management appearing to play favourites and making it so easy for the other contenders to get into the match. The night after winning the Knock Out championship and restoring the title's previous name as the Tap Out championship, Logan was seriously injured in a tag team TLC match for the tag team titles which they also lost. He and Aubrey were on a ladder as it was tipped over and he pushed her off of it, which resulted in him falling awkwardly and crashing through a ladder at ringside. He fractured several of his ribs and was concussed, although the concussion was undiagnosed at the time.

Logan continued to compete at this point, despite his injuries, as a company-wide number one contender tournament was scheduled for the following pay per view, Test for the Best. Logan and Aubrey were eventually booked against each other, an attempt to guarantee one of them didn’t make it into the tournament proper, and Logan lost. He then immediately had to take part in a ‘last chance’ battle royal for the last spot in the tournament. Injured, exhausted from his previous match, and after being double and triple teamed through the battle royal, Logan ended up being the last one standing that night. Logan and Aubrey had both qualified for the Test for the Best tournament, but at the pay per view itself they were booked against each other again in the opening match. Logan would lose again and Aubrey would go on to win the tournament. At that point, Logan realized that he and Aubrey weren’t going to get ahead so long as they were both competing. APW management had shown that they were going to keep trying to sabotage them. Once Logan concussion was finally diagnosed after Test for the Best, especially given that he had suffered multiple concussions in the matches he’d had during the previous two months, Logan stepped back from active competition. He appointed his own substitute, without anyone else’s knowledge, for the matches he was scheduled in through July and August 2013 up until he ‘lost’ the Tap Out championship. At this point, he informed Aubrey of his situation and his intention to remove himself from competition until he had recovered from his injuries. Logan had continued to feud against Kaylyn Evans, Young Mannie as well as the Tag Team champions, the Dying Breed, Jair Hopkins and Anthony Bailey.

He continued to watch APW programming after his departure. He watched as Aubrey did finally make it to the top of the company in September, winning the APW Undisputed championship. It was a moment that made him proud and he was quick to offer her his congratulations, even though he couldn’t be there in person to do so.

For the most part though, Logan spent his time recovering from the injuries he’d suffered back in May. He’d been sidelined from competition and at the time was unable to be truly involved with training as his school due to his condition. Until 2014, Logan had little to do than wait and see what would come. In the meantime though, Action Packed Wrestling had run into problems of its own with issues between members of management and the talent roster boiling over in late October 2013 which led to a shutdown of all their upcoming events except for two pay per view shows in the first part of 2014. Logan worked to get himself back in ring shape for a final match at APW’s second last show in January, teaming up with Evan Envi, formerly Harrison, to take on an APW mainstay in C.J. Gates and a longtime rival A.C. Smith. Logan fell short of his own expectations that night, getting beaten by Gates. He left that night wondering if he’d done enough to prepare and if maybe it was time to consider seriously bringing his career to a close.

With that in mind, Logan returned home. As it turned out though, Logan wasn’t quite done yet.

In March, APW’s final show, Rasslemania, was scheduled and would take place in Toronto. Logan hadn’t paid too much attention to the event as he wasn’t planning on being involved. After his showing in January, he thought it might be best to leave well enough alone and stay out of the professional ring. The role he had in his own school seemed to be one that was more fitting for him at this stage. So, to say that it was a shock for him to find out that not only was he scheduled to compete at Rasslemania, but that he would also be taking part in the first night's main event, fighting for the APW Undisputed championship and having one more match with Aubrey J. Parker, would be one of the grossest of understatements. Considering his standing in APW going back to his departure in August, it didn’t take long for Logan to realize that this match was the work of Aubrey. He’d never been given a second glance in regards to having an opportunity as a main event competitor by APW management, but as the champion Aubrey would have some say in deciding who she would face at the final APW show.

After taking that into consideration, Logan knew he couldn’t turn this down. For her, he had one more match to offer.

So, for the first time in five and a half years, Logan found himself in a world championship match and, for the first time ever, it was in front of his hometown. It was a best of three falls match and it was as closely contested a match as any other Logan had taken part in, as he fought against the partner he’d had for the last year and a half, for as big a prize as any they would likely ever compete for together. Aubrey took the first fall by pin. Logan won the second by submission. The tension built through the third fall until Logan finally submitted, coming close but ultimately falling short. It did nothing to detract from the post-match celebration that would close out the first night of Rasslemania though, as Logan and Aubrey walked out of their final APW show the same way they had walked in back in 2012, side by side. All things considered, it was a near perfect way to go out.

At this point, happy with how he’d finished, Logan decided to hang up his wrestling boots for the foreseeable future due to circumstances outside of the wrestling business. He was about to become a father.

Michaelina had gotten pregnant late in 2013 while he was away from active competition. He’d had no major concerns about competing in matches early in 2014, but now with his commitments to APW finished, he was going to dedicate his time and energy towards his family which he felt would be an even more rewarding experience. Spending the majority of his time at home over the next few years, Logan continued to have a hand in running his school, although he turned over day to day operations to the staff he had on hand there. He spent less time training, but continued to work out to keep himself in good shape, as time allowed. The extended time away from competition allowed his body to recover from and adjust to the effects of his injuries over the years.

It was well into 2016 before Logan began to get more involved in his school once again and so he was finally able to start shaking off some of the ring rust he’d accumulated over the previous two years. He spent months working out alongside his own students in order to see if he could get back what he had given up. He was glad to find out that his instincts and skills were still good, albeit a bit dulled and nowhere near as polished as they once had been. Eventually in late September 2016, with his wife’s blessing he began to take bookings, along with several of his more capable students, with independent shows within southeastern Canada and the northeastern United States, places relatively close to home, for the remainder of the year. It was through these bookings that he became more aware of events in a wrestling company called Frontier Grappling Arts. He caught a couple of their live shows late in 2016 and, after seeing a couple of familiar faces there which piqued his curiosity, he began to follow their shows and events more closely.

As it turned out, he ended up getting in touch with some scouting personnel with FGA who attended some of the independent shows he’d been competing at early in 2017, and although he hadn’t been a regular competitor in some time, Logan’s prior reputation and wrestling history still carried some value. Some informal discussions took place between Logan and these scouts in February, and that eventually led to Logan getting into direct contact with FGA management in March. Eyeing a return to full time competition in April, Logan prepared to face one more uphill climb in his career.

Logan’s first couple of months in FGA did little to distinguish him. He was successful in all of his matches to that point, but they really only served the purpose of shaking off the ring rust that had accumulated since 2014. It wasn’t until July that things started to change, and that began with the arrival of Ashlyn De Luca.

Ashlyn had been a former student of his starting back in 2011 while he had been recovering from his injuries suffered in ACW. She was a ”problem student” for him initially that, while possessing talent and potential for wrestling, she seemed to have trouble committing to the training needed for it. Logan was tough on her, more so than most of his other students, to make her either leave for good or show that she really wanted this. She proved that she did and he began training her in earnest. She put the time and effort into the training he offered, but he also made it clear that he was only getting her started in the world of wrestling. He taught her the fundamentals of wrestling but had no intent of molding her into another version of himself. He encouraged her to build on what he’d taught her with others and find her own style and approach, to do what worked for her and not just what Logan would. She went on to have initial success in Phoenix Wrestling, winning their Television and International championships, before moving on to Hard Knox Wrestling, where she was a three time Bloodlust champion, and the Shooting Star Wrestling Alliance, where she won the 2017 Young Guns Cup and eventually became their World champion. Even before she reached the height of her success, Logan was proud of her for what she had accomplished and viewed her as a prized pupil, but he never wanted to take credit for what she had accomplished. When anyone asked, he told them that Ashlyn’s success was all her own. All he had done was to help get her started on her way.

Finally, in 2017, six years later, the two stood together as partners outside of his school for the first time ever. The Chaotics had arrived in FGA.

The Chaotics debuted as part of the 2017 Dynamic Duos interpromotional tournament pitting twenty four teams against each other in single elimination format for a title match against the reigning FGA World Tag Team champions. They defeated Miss Fortune and Harper Hill in the opening round, then the team of Aurora, a long time rival of Ashlyn, and Tommy Evans before beating Holly Chainsaw and Kenzie Rowe to earn themselves a spot in the semi finals of the tournament, which would conclude at the Patriot Games event. There, Logan and Ashlyn defeated Mark Bisley and Shintaro Majima to advance to the finals, where they beat Emilio Vialpando and Jinzai and were crowned the 2017 Dynamic Duos winners and number one contenders to the FGA World Tag Team championship held by the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad, Dan Herrera and Peaches.

The two teams had several encounters backstage, including Ashlyn and Peaches facing off in several non wrestling related contests, while Logan and Dan had a singles match, where Logan was injured after Dan hit his signature finishing move, in the lead up to their title match. Ashlyn and a recovered Logan were able to persevere in their title challenge, with Ashlyn pinning Peaches while Logan and Dan fought on the outside of the ring. The celebration didn’t last long as Mark Bisley and Shintaro Majima made their presence known and took down the current and former champions. Having inserted themselves into the situation, The Chaotics and Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad would now have to deal with Smart Style. The three teams met at the end of the year for one more title match, with the Chaotics again emerging on top and still the champions. Alongside Ashlyn, Logan mainly feuded against the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad and Smart Style in 2017.

2018 started with a continuation of the feud with Smart Style. In February, Smart Style had the advantage, winning a six person tag match with the Chaotics on the losing side, before winning the World Tag Team titles at the end of the month. However the feud wasn’t done there, as the Chaotics returned the favour, winning an eight person tag match against Smart Style in April and reclaiming the titles two months after losing them. Shortly thereafter though, both teams were joined in the title chase by the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad once more and the Dogs of War.

But before anything could be resolved between these four teams, a battle for brand supremacy broke out in FGA when the Vertigo brand invaded the Flashpoint brand and assaulted almost the entire roster. Flashpoint returned the favour shortly thereafter, gaining some measure of retribution. To settle things, a trio of matches featuring tag teams from each brand in one, most of the top singles stars from one brand in another, as well as the top stars of each brand competing for the Undisputed championship.

As it turned out, the Chaotics, Smart Style, Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad and the Dogs of War would make up the Flashpoint tag team group. In the lead up to the Vertigo vs Flashpoint event, the members of the four teams meet up in a pair of fourway singles matches, with the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad and the Dogs of War each claiming one victory and there was also a tag team match between the Chaotics and Smart Style once more where Smart Style were victorious after a distraction provided by the Dogs of Wars which also resulted in Logan suffering a mild but concerning injury two weeks before all four teams were to team together.

Once the day arrived, Logan made displeasure known in regards to the actions and reactions of the team’s various members to all that had happened in the lead up to this night and walked out on them during a backstage meeting. When their interbrand tag match took place, Logan remained backstage. Later in the match once all fifteen competitors were down, Logan came out looking as though to help, only to immediately bail on Liam Richardson III, when he looked for a tag, and take a seat at ringside. A short time after that, when Ashlyn was in trouble in the ring, Logan got up to help and was tagged into the match, but he just stalled allowing the Vertigo competitor a chance to gather their wits before tagging back out and squandering the team’s momentary advantage. Then late in the match, again after most of the competitors were down, Logan got up in his team’s corner looking for the tag and, after being yelled at by Peaches for his action, was tagged into the match once more. He then proceeded to put down six members of the opposing team before hitting one of them with the Stryke Force, only to then pull them up, breaking what appeared to be a match winning fall. Logan then tagged himself out of the match, flipped off both Smart Style and the Dogs of Wars before heading backstage again. Despite all of his disruptions to the match and team, Flashpoint ended up winning with Mark Bisley scoring the pinfall.

The immediate fallout of this event was a decrease in most of the Flashpoint brand’s opinion of him for not standing with the team, but more consequential was a rift that formed between him and Ashlyn from his actions. She had lost trust in him, even telling him to stay out of the upcoming title match they had against Smart Style in a best of three falls. When the match took place, Ashlyn came to the ring alone with both tag titles, but Logan got involved, entering the ring after sneaking in through the crowd and attacking Smart Style from behind to begin the match. In doing so Logan showed a flagrant disregard for the referee and the rules, pushing close to a disqualification several times and getting pinned as well. Ashlyn tagged herself in as Logan came dangerously close to costing them the titles in short order. Refusing to tag Logan back in, Ashlyn was forced to compete as if in a handicap match through the second fall, before scoring a pinfall there to tie the match. Eventually, she had to tag Logan back in during the deciding fall, but unlike his display during the opening of the match, he maintained his composure and was able to pin Shintaro to end the match. Ashlyn was quick to make her way over to the timekeeper, grab both belts and leave without Logan. He watched her leave and did nothing to stop her.

The tension between the two remained high for the following month, at which point the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad and the Dogs of War were scheduled to challenge the Chaotics at the following supershow a month later. Neither Logan nor Ashlyn had competed in FGA since their last title defense, but were scheduled for the last show before the supershow to team up with James Edwards to face Brian Stryker and the Dogs of War in a six person match. The match never took place though as Stryker attacked Edwards backstage and the Dogs of War sought out their opponents for the upcoming title match, first taking out Peaches, then taking down Dan Herrera and Ashlyn briefly, when the former came after them in retaliation for Peaches and the latter stumbled across the ensuing fight. Logan then entered the fray as the Dogs prepared to inflict further damage to Ashlyn beyond their initial assault, holding them off long enough for Dan and Ashlyn to get to their feet and FGA officials to break up the fight. Later that night, Ashlyn was prepared to let bygones be bygones with Logan and offered him one of the tag titles back, but he declined. A short time after that though, when their six person match was about to take place, Logan and Ashlyn found the Dogs backstage and immediately resumed their earlier fight with them, leaving Stryker and Edwards to have a similar pull apart brawl in the ring.

Finally at the supershow, the Chaotics, Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad and Dogs of War finally clashed in and around the ring. Logan was hellbent on getting his hands on the Dogs, but Dan and Peaches constantly got in his way throughout the match. Ashlyn was focused on the overall match, but had a far more aggressive edge to her. The two of them seemed to function much better together with none of the prior tension apparent though. Eventually towards the end of the match, Logan did finally get a crack at each of the Dogs, laying on a beating outside the ring that left both members of the team as a non factor for the close of the match, where Logan and Ashlyn got one more over on Dan and Peaches to secure the victory. The two then officially reunited, with Ashlyn handing Logan one half of the tag titles after the match and him accepting it to the cheers of the crowd. Then the two of them immediately assaulted the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad there in the ring, immediately earning them boos from the crowd.

The Chaotics justified their actions saying that the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad shouldn’t have been involved in the tag title picture and only were because of Flashpoint’s general manager, Hadley Herrera, sister of Dan Herrera. Logan especially made it clear how much he took issue with the way Hadley had been handling things for months, since the fight between FGA’s brands had started to the present, calling into question many of the decisions she’d made regarding him and Ashlyn regarding the matches they’d been involved in over the prior three months and the resulting punishment they’d endured over that time as she would reward the bad behaviour against them. As they approached the end of the year and the Frontier Lion’s Cup was scheduled to occur, a company-wide tournament to crown a new number one contender for the World or International Heavyweight championship. And in the opening round of the tournament, Logan and Ashlyn were scheduled to face off.

Taking that as another slight by Hadley towards them, as no other active tag team had to go through that, the two of them vowed to get back at her for it. They still went through with the match though, going all out at one another before Logan came through with the victory. In the following round of the tournament, he was able to score a huge upset victory against Johnny Karma, a recent former World champion. This let him advance to the final eight of the tournament, which would conclude on night one of the upcoming supershow that would close the year. Unfortunately, The Chaotics would also have to defend their World Tag Team championships on night two of the supershow against the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad once again. With all their frustration over these events, Ashlyn was able to get a stipulation added to the tag title match. If the Chaotics won, Hadley would be fired.

Knowing all that was on the line over the two nights that would make up the final supershow of the year, Logan was keenly aware of what was on the line for him. A shot at one of the two biggest prizes in FGA if he could persevere in the Frontier Lion’s Cup, but it was weighed against the Tag Team championship that would take place twenty four hours later. Every match he fought, every move he hit, every blow he took and every minute he spent out there would take its toll on what he’d be able to contribute alongside Ashlyn. While it weighed on him, he went out and gave it his all regardless. Defeating Cassius Reed in the quarterfinals then moving on and doing the same to Ashley Sullivan, Logan took his place as Flashpoint’s representative in the finals. Across the ring would be a man that had been so many different things to him over the years, Evan Envi. The two of them went right at each other, giving all that they had left after each of their two taxing matches from earlier in the night, but still surprisingly evenly matched. Eventually, after a sustained barrage of offense late in the match, Evan was able to put Logan down for good, taking another victory from him in their highest stakes match to date, leaving a depleted Logan to face the following night’s challenge with nothing to show for his efforts here. On night two, the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad were fighting for the titles, their family and revenge on the Chaotics. Only partially recovered from night one, Logan agreed to let Ashlyn take the lead, and she was more than willing to bring the fight to the Attack Squad as this was their chance to bring what they viewed as Hadley’s favouritism and negligence. That was enough to keep the scales balanced in this match before Ashlyn was able to remove Peaches from the equation and then Dan Herrera ended up in a tandem submission hold, but before things could resolve naturally, Hadley came down to ringside and ended the match there, giving the Chaotics the victory and ending her tenure as GM of Flashpoint. At the close of the year, the Chaotics were still the World Tag Team champions. Their main feuds were against Smart Style, the Dogs of War, the Polychromatic Lion Attack Squad and Hadley Herrera in 2018.

The new year began with new opponents arriving on Flashpoint to challenge the Chaotics, the former US Tag Team champions from Vertigo, Lowri Moss and Neal Durden, Pendragon. Their immediate challenge was declined by the Chaotics, but the two teams engaged each other in separate singles matches where Logan defeated Neal and then Lowri beat Ashlyn in seconds, which was actually the second time in two nights that Lowri had beaten Ashlyn as they had a match in another promotion as part of the Young Guns Cup the night before. The two teams then met in a six person tag match with the Chaotics side coming out on top, before the two teams would meet for a title match at the following supershow. It was there that things started coming apart. The weight of her embarrassing loss to Lowri had been eating away at Ashlyn and Logan’s more professional interaction with Pendragon didn’t sit well with her. During the match, mistiming between them led to Logan taking a hit shot from Ashlyn and he then threw himself in front of a shot from Durden aimed at Ashlyn, leaving her to try and fend off Pendragon on her own for a while as he recovered on the floor. Ashlyn gradually lost her composure as the match went on attempting to use a chair during the match and also trying to get counted out, with a referee and Lowri getting involved to stop her both times. The match did continue on and it came to an end with Logan pinning Lowri with a bridging German suplex, that resulted in both of them having their shoulders on the mat. The match was ruled a draw, but both teams requested a restart of the match, until Ashlyn grabbed the Tag Team titles and departed, effectively ending the match there. Then when Logan later saw what had happened during the match, a rift grew between the Chaotics. It was almost assured that Pendragon would receive a rematch but the Chaotics now had bigger problems with each other, and they certainly appeared to dwarf the ones they had in the middle of 2018.

With the friction and tension between them still apparent, the Chaotics faced Pendragon in six person tag action again, with the International Heavyweight champion and their number one contender on either side as well, with the Chaotic’s side getting another win. At the following show, Logan got into a backstage confrontation with the United States champion, James Edwards, resulting in Logan being laid out backstage and leading to the two of them having an impromptu match later that night ending with Logan laid out again. Later that night, Ashlyn would face International Heavyweight champion, Jimmy Page in non-title action. Ashlyn had trouble maintaining control during the match and when the tide turned on her she tried to get counted out again, only for Lowri Moss to come out and throw her back into the ring for Page to finish off. That led into the next supershow and the rematch against Pendragon. Logan and Ashlyn appeared to be on the same page again, but there was still some obvious friction between them regarding how things needed to be done. Things came to a head during the match when Ashlyn tried to walk out again, only for Logan to stop and berate her for doing so. They returned to the ring and Logan took over, removing Ashlyn from the match much as she had done the previous year in their last match against Smart Style. Eventually they both got on the same page and the fight between the two teams continued to escalate in and out of the ring, until Pendragon was able to isolate Ashlyn and pin her to bring an end to the one year reign of the Chaotics.

After the show, Logan let his opinion be known that despite the loss, he still thought that the Chaotics were the better of the two teams, but he also made it clear that the Chaotics were a damaged team and that he felt Ashlyn’s loss to Lowri in FGA a few months prior and Ashlyn’s inability to move past it had been the catalyst for them coming undone. He suggested that the Chaotics might be done as a team and it would be time to move on. When Ashlyn heard that, she wanted them to take one more shot.

So on the next show, the Chaotics claimed their rematch against Pendragon for the titles. Coming out on fire, the Chaotics almost reclaimed the titles in the opening seconds of the match before things settled back down. Midway through the match though, a spear attempt by Logan was sidestepped by Durden, who grabbed Logan and tossed him into the ring post shoulder first, clearly injuring him. Pendragon targeted the injury, allowing them to turn the tide until Logan was able to tag out. Ashlyn carried them along with Logan getting involved only when he had to, but when Ashlyn looked like she needed some time to recover, Logan tagged back in. He managed to power through his pain, to keep up with each member of Pendragon but eventually it took its toll and after Ashlyn was taken out by Pendragon, they proceeded to batter Logan, targeting his shoulder along the way, before pinning him for the victory. Ashlyn came back in to tend to her wounded partner and the two began to make their way back up the entryway.

Then Ashlyn struck. She blindsided Logan near the top of the entry ramp and then proceeded to brutalize her partner, beating him all the way back down to ringside and using the ringsteps as both a projectile and a final place to leave her former partner at the end of her assault.

Logan was gone for over a month after that attack, recovering from his injury, returning only to prevent Ashlyn from adding another body to her tally and non verbally extending a match offer to her for the following supershow. But when that night came, Logan did not look like someone coming to fight. Ashlyn attempted to provoke a response from him, but he simply shrugged off her initial strike, withdrawing to a corner and leaving his back to her, which she took as an invite to begin her assault. Logan did nothing beyond guarding himself and pushing Ashlyn off at times, taking an almost passive stance in the ring against her, even as she ramped up her attack. Despite him executing only an occasional move or hold and holding no sustained momentum, she was coming apart visibly against him. Eventually Ashlyn grabbed a microphone and began verbally tearing into Logan before adding some commentary regarding his daughter. That did get a reaction and Logan stopped holding back. His assault on Ashlyn went from inside to outside the ring as he relentlessly began to pursue her, until they were back in the ring and she begged off, pleading for forgiveness, and Logan obliged, offering his hand to help her up, perhaps willing to end things there. But Ashlyn tried for another cheap shot, which Logan easily blocked, and a second attempt was blocked as well. He pulled her up to try and finish the match, but Ashlyn grabbed the referee to aid her escape and then a low blow turned the tide, allowing her to kick off another vicious assault to end the match with her literally kicking and stomping him to the mat. But after the bell, when Logan slowly got back to his feet, Ashlyn returned to deliver another post match assault even more vicious than the previous one, beating him with multiple chair shots and a brainbuster onto the ring steps before landing on him, on top of the steps, with a frog splash.

Taken away for medical treatment, Logan had several broken ribs and a concussion from the assault. It wasn’t likely that he’d be returning for competition anytime soon, if at all. It was several days before Logan was able to return home and start trying to pick up the pieces again. Broken, in more than one way, he returned to his family and his life away from active wrestling.

In the weeks leading up to his match with Ashlyn while he was doing what he could to rehabilitate his separated shoulder in the time available, many close to Logan noted the shift he had undergone, becoming more sullen and withdrawn. His closest friends, the ones going back to when he had first become a wrestler fifteen years, had done what they could to try and help him through this rough time for him, doing what they could to draw him back out, but even they were only met with limited success, getting him to crack a smile or laugh on occasion before it would quickly fade. None of them were able to even get a word out of him. After the loss to Pendragon and Ashlyn’s subsequent assault on him, the typically, overly verbose Logan had seemingly lost his voice. Now, after the match with Ashlyn and her even more violent assault on him afterwards, he’d seemed to have shut down completely. His close friends struggled to get any response beyond a glance towards them. The only ones that seemed to be able to make any sort of connection to him were his wife, Michaelina, and their daughter, Noelle, who had recently turned five. And that seemed to be the way it was going to remain, as for the first time in almost fourteen years, Logan completely closed himself off to the public, effectively going into hiding.

It only took ten weeks for the damage to his body to heal. The other wounds that Ashlyn inflicted would take much longer to heal. Never before had Logan experienced betrayal in such a deeply personal way. He’d turned on friends and partners before himself. He’d had others turn on him, so that was nothing new. But given how close he and Ashlyn had been over the years, just the fact of how things had unfolded between them at the end, the sheer amount of anger and hatred was unimaginable only a few months prior to it actually taking place. Logan wasn’t a fool, despite many people thinking that of him. He had always expected that one day Ashlyn would turn against him. Her ego and ambition would have eventually pushed them apart, but he hadn’t anticipated that it would go like this. He’d thought that they would have been able to coexist for at least that one night after their final loss to Pendragon. But Ashlyn had claimed her moment with him being injured and took everything from the past several months out on him.

That had cut him to his core. So when he’d returned to give her one last match, he’d never intended it to be a quest for him to get revenge on her. Rather, it was a man with a broken spirit putting his head upon the chopping block for a quick and merciful end. Only he’d again misjudged Ashlyn. She hadn’t been interested in ending it quickly and easily. She’d wanted to prove herself as the better of the two. She’d wanted a victory that she could boast about. And so she pushed and pushed and pushed, seeking to light a fire inside of him so that she would get her fight, which she did, then she was able to to overcome in the end and eventually attempted to snuff out that fire and all that fed it afterwards.

She almost succeeded. Almost.

But that fire didn’t go out entirely. And it was allowed to grow in the personal darkness he’d closed himself in, eventually being used to reforge his broken heart and soul for the road that laid before him. He would be back. He had to collect what he was owed. To do so, he would need someone alongside him. For the time being, Logan had no words of his own, so he would need someone to convey his message. Although he had many potential options available to him from his closest friends to current and former students that would gladly volunteer for such a position, his experience with Ashlyn made him hesitate to accept another active wrestler as his support. Someone with similar goals and ambitions could easily lead to a repeat of what happened with Ashlyn down the road. He wanted someone whose interests would lie elsewhere. Enter Theodore Harris.

Theodore was someone that Logan had met over a year prior at his training center. Theodore had been a promising mixed martial artist that people had expected would be going places one day. Unfortunately, a serious knee injury had derailed those plans almost entirely. He’d ended up needing physical therapy after his recovery and ended up in Michaelina’s care, coming to the training center for his rehabilitation sessions. Michaelina and Theodore had formed a cordial relationship with one another and when she learned of Logan’s intentions, she suggested Theodore. He knew how to fight and take care of himself if needed, and could serve as backup if needed, but he wouldn’t be someone looking to wade into the fray for his own ends. He was quite a talker himself, something that he didn’t have much chance to utilize during his MMA pursuits. But he also felt as though he owed Michaelina for all of her help, so he could also keep an eye on her husband as he set off another venture and perhaps keep him out of further trouble. With that Logan agreed to take Theodore on as his manager for his return to Frontier Grappling Arts.

Towards the end of 2019, Theodore approached FGA to negotiate a new contract for Logan, looking to rejoin the Flashpoint brand despite the offer to join Vertigo. However, before the contract details were finalized, the Flashpoint brand was set to be disbanded and everyone would be brought over to the Vertigo brand. As such, everything negotiated to bring Logan to FGA would need to be worked out again with the Vertigo management team again. This pushed back Logan’s potential return from January of 2020 to some undetermined point later on in the year. It was then further pushed back as Covid 19 came to the forefront and caused massive shutdowns across North America. But as things gradually carried on, Theodore would begin traveling to Vertigo broadcasts, to get a better feel of the environment on his own while Logan observed shows either from home or as a member of the audience, to get caught up on things occurring there.

One of the first things he found out was that in his absence, Ashlyn had managed to work her way up the ranks in FGA and had gotten herself in a position to challenge for the International Heavyweight championship. Upon seeing that, he informed Theodore that they would have to push back the time frame of his return. He wanted to allow this situation to play out on its own as he knew that his return to action would immediately draw Ashlyn’s attention and he wanted to see if she’d be able to make good on the opportunity before and that if she failed, she wouldn’t be able to use him as another excuse. After the supershow once the dust had settled, he would get her attention. Seeing what had happened to her against Pendragon the previous year, playing some games with her first would be the best way to move things along.

A recorded message left in her locker room. A brief taunting over the public address system after one of her matches. A gift delivered through a long chain of intermediaries. Things to draw her ire and make her grow frustrated. Then finally having Theodore face her directly and lay down the challenge from her mystery opponent, but leaving her enough clues that she’d be able to figure out who was responsible. The date would be set for the next supershow.

It would be thirteen months after she’d forced him out of FGA, but Logan would be back. Ready to give her the fight she’d wanted back then and show her exactly what the fire she’d lit in him back then had resulted in now.
