Character (Ring) Name: Lex Collins
Real Name: Alexandros Jude Collias
Nicknames: Sin City sAINT
Fearless, The Nomad, ABSOLUTE ZERO, Maxwell Murder (former)
that Greek grappler (what the critics call him)
Hometown: Sin City
Height: 6'
Weight: 195 lbs
Alignment: Face (Lawful Neutral Anti-Hero)
In-Ring Style: brawler/strong style
Bio: Lex Collins earned every ass in the seats that cheers for him the hard way, through blood, sweat and tears. They were there when he finally cracked into the Main Event scene in mid-2013 while still employed with FTW. They were there when he fought back against injustice and insanity. They were there when he competed in a fan-chosen Turkish Death Match against Aornis Black and pounded the Devil’s Daughter into hamburger. They were there when he turned his back on the corrupt company that had made him a household name, choosing the regional Louisville-based PCW where he finally captured his first World Championship. They were 100% behind him when PCW folded and he moved on to iiW, yet again defeating some of the biggest names in wrestling to capture their biggest prize. He held the coveted SCW Vegas Championship uncontested for more than six months before parting ways with the company. From there he moved on to New York-based Olympus, pulling off a stunning 11-1 record before claiming their Zeus Championship. Unfortunately (or fortunately for Lex), the company closed its doors, leaving Collins unemployed in October of 2016.
Until May of 2017, Lex took time off to recover from his injuries, looking to focus on his mental and physical well-being. He worked briefly for Lion’s Road, F’n Awesome Wrestling (Vengeance Pro) and the Norfolk, Virginia based Shoot Society before finding his way to the World Wrestling Headquarters, a place he believed would be his permanent home. He enjoyed a meteoric rise that saw him remain largely undefeated until defeating Alex Jones for the World Heavyweight Championship. He went on to defend a few times before losing to the returning Finn Whelan, the only man in the company Lex had been unable to defeat prior to claiming the championship. The two had a bitter rivalry and Lex refused to back down despite seeing the machinations behind the curtain and he demanded a rematch against Whelan, only to come up short again. Exactly one year to the date of his return from hiatus, Collins parted ways with the company and returned to Las Vegas. From there he ended up drifting for the latter part of 2018, taking part in Riot Star Wrestling for 10 months, capturing two of their mid-card belts before parting ways with the company due to the overseas touring schedule. He signed with New York-based Five Boroughs Wrestling and became their first World Heavyweight Champion. During the time he was competing in a tournament to achieve that honor, he was also working for Trinity Wrestling, having entered a battle royal when the company launched. He became the second wrestler to hold the World Championship there, defeating fan favorite Thomas Snow, only to lose the belt on his first defense. He had already tendered his notice prior to the loss and took leave from the company the week before it was acquired and dissolved by Action Wrestling.

Entrance:
The lights dim, and the sound of a heartbeat fills the silence, growing a little louder and faster before being replaced with a driving rock beat. "Re-Education (Through Labor)" by Rise Against kicks into gear over the arena sound system, getting an ear-splitting huge pop from the female fans in attendance. Orange and red spotlights fade up slowly, like the sun rising to reveal a fire in the sky, illuminating two silhouettes. Lex Collins stands with his head bowed and pauses before raising his arms, thrusting them directly into the path of the spotlights as the crowd erupts into cheers yet again. Midway down the ramp, Lex stops and shrugs out of his Brutal Apparel hoodie, awarding it to a lucky fan in the crowd. He pauses for a few selfies with fans before hopping up on the apron. Grinning at the crowd, he presses his right fist over his heart to a huge pop before turning and springing over the rope.
