So who is "Bronson"? Oct 26, 2012 19:08:52 GMT -5

Post by mrbananagrabber on Oct 26, 2012 19:08:52 GMT -5

So I just watched NXT this week and a new guy debuted with no promo video or hype. Bronson, obviously modelled after Charles Bronson, he was an old school heel; bald, mean looking, shouting at the camera.. but he looked like he really could go in the ring.

Anyway, there's nothing on him on Wikipedia so I was wondering if anyone knows anything about him. Who is he, has he been in TNA before etc etc.

Any ideas?

Why would a banana grab another banana?

Just a brutal brawler that is theatrical and poetic.

Apparently he did a brief time in women's make up.

Anyway, he's a good wrestler, pretty intense. Very old school in his look too, as he does resemble Mad Dog Vachon. I think with him and WWE, it's something where they see this guy and like him and want to use him, and if he doesn't get called up or used, he has a back up plan and other life. So he's in a good position and if I were WWE, I would use him as this hit man killer.

He's also up there in age too, which is good on WWE considering a potentially older guy.
