Background and Gimmick:
Any history related stuff when it comes to Preacher is rather short and unclear. No one even knows if he is a real priest or just woke up one day a decided to be one. Any family stuff he keeps for himself. However it is known that he has a sister and a lot of cousins. Some of them are also one way or the other connected to wrestling. Whatever was before wrestling in Preachers life there is no track of it. And on daily basis when he is not in a gym he is in a bar or a pub drinking whiskey, fighting or flirting with some girls.

"Franklin is the name... a full time ass kicking preacher with one mission on the mind and that is to make you all believers making sure that you have chosen the "right" path for yourself. Drinks and girls by my side ? Well... I like to think that this is the way God thanks me for fulfilling the destiny.

Some say I have a cocky attitude, difficult personality. Well... that is not for me to judge but I have to say that I do like to get in trouble and get in face of people that think are untouchable. Some action is always a good thing.

I see you around..."



Preacher is a one competitor that is hard to beat and even if he is lying on the floor in his own blood you can't count him out. In ring he doesn't put much thought into who is he facing. No matter if it is a jobber, GM or whoever else... Everybody is entitled to get a clear view of what is on Preachers mind. He will always tell you how it is - plain and simple.



Updates and upgrades are still to come
