Wrestler Name: Jac Glyndŵr
Nicknames:
Pic Base: Connor McGregor (UFC)
Hometown: Cardiff, Wales, UK
Wrestling Style: Reckless brawler with moderate technical ability
Height: 6'4
Weight: 241 lbs
Theme Song: Jamie T, "Sticks 'n' Stones"
Face/Heel/Tweener: Face
Entrance: "When there's no-one left to fight, boys like him don't shine so bright" - the opening lyrics to "Sticks 'n' Stones" kick in and the big screen shows images of Glyndŵr trading blows with opponents, interspersed with scenes of rioting soccer fans. As the first lines finish, a single blinding white burst of pyro erupts along the top of the entrance ramp and Jac Glyndŵr arrives on stage, grinning and bouncing on his toes, before sprinting down to the ring, zig-zagging across the ramp to high-five fans on both sides before sliding into the ring under the bottom rope. Glyndŵr then runs the ropes a couple of times before taking the centre of the ring and shadow-boxing a combination of punches towards all four sides of the arena, finishing with an overhand haymaker towards the hard camera and a guttural roar of aggression as his music fades out.

Biography:
Despite a relatively comfortable upbringing, Steven Llewellyn was a born risk-taker, looking for excitement that his middle-class life could not provide. The thrill-seeking juvenile delinquent was an easy target for the soccer hooligans of his home-town and he soon became a well known match-day brawler and thorn in the side of the local police. Unfortunately, his fellow hooligans were quick to let this hot-headed youngster take the fall for their actions and he soon found himself facing jail, until a chance meeting with local wrestling promoter Jac Williams gave him a second chance. Recognising Llewellyn's charisma and physical prowess as he took on two bouncers twice his size in a bar fight, the promoter took him under his wing and gave him a new outlet for his aggression - the squared circle. Steven learned his new craft quickly and took the name Jac Glyndŵr to honour both the promoter who turned his life around, and a legendary freedom fighter from his homeland. After years of scraping a living with obscure independent promotions, Jac Glyndŵr cobbled together enough money for a move to America, where his first big chance would come in the form of a developmental contract with the newly re-formed APW. Although Jac's skills are raw and he still spends more time setting up and dismantling the ring than competing in it, his honesty, energy and respect for the business make him a cult hit with fans wherever he goes.
In terms of his general attitude and demeanour, Jac is friendly, good humoured and occasionally too honourable for his own good. He's compelled to stand up to bullies and bigots, whether or not anyone asked him to, and extremely short tempered when pushed - when he starts acting OVER friendly, it's probably time to run.
How did you hear about APW: Some defunct interfed or other - Experts, CWC, take your pick. Come on, it's freakin' APW!
What made you decide to join APW: Coming back to the fed game after a long layoff, I couldn't resist the chance to be a part of the new APW and mix it up with some of the legendary names I see on the roster. I've been lucky enough to compete with a few real icons of the game in my on-off career but there are plenty still on my bucket list - many of them right here!
