NOTE: Still tweaking a few things, but wanted to make sure I got my spot in this thing!

Entrance (Describe in detail- these will be used in results):
The lights begin to flash white and green as "Jesus Christ Pose" begins to play throughout the arena. C.J. Gates jogs out onto the stage, cowboy hat and all, to a chorus of boos from the fans. A slight smirk can be seen on his face as he makes his way down to the ring, ignoring all of the fans at ringside. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope and makes his way to the nearest corner, climbing up the turnbuckles and holding both arms straight out at his sides. After moments he drops down and proceeds to the opposite corner, making the exact same pose.

Biography:
Where do we begin?
C.J. Gates is the son of a rich oil and financial tycoon. For the longest time, Gates never let the money cloud his vision and always fought for the love of it, for the love of putting on a good match for the fans. In doing so, he became a household name in the pro-wrestling world, and at one point, was seen as THE face of the APW, capturing the APW Undisputed title and endearing himself to the fans. He tried his hand at the Experts tournament with decent results, the CWC Ascension tournament with better results, APW's Survive and Conquer, his break out match in 2011, and the Trans Atlantic Cup, which he won.
When the APW began to show signs of closing down, Gates decided to try his hand elsewhere, taking his talents to another long-serving federation, the VWF, where he donned a mask and wrestled under the name El Lobo Grande. He has won various titles there as well, though nothing is as good as the original APW.
Throughout his time in APW, Gates has always maintained a classy, fan favourite way inside the ring. All of that could change, however. At the APW Reunion show, Gates competed against Mark Mania in what would go down as a great match. At the end, it looked like both men were showing a mutual respect for one another, until Gates attacked Mania, stomping him out as the fans sat in shock.
What does this mean for the former White Knight of APW?
