WHO IS TIMOTHY THATCHER?
Timothy Thatcher is a 36 year-old California native who began his professional wrestling career in 2005.
Best known for his work in Evolve, where he was the longest-reigning Evolve Champion (596 days in one reign), Thatcher has competed around the world holding multiple titles in various promotions.
He was the final title holder of Dragon Gate's Open the Freedom Gate Championship, a title held by Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Drew McIntyre (going by Drew Galloway). Thatcher also competed for promotions including Pro Wrestling Guerilla (PWG), Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro) and Major League Wrestling (MLW) among others.
Timothy Thatcher has a long history with NXT UK Champion Walter. Thatcher and Walter competed in the faction Ringkampg - a precursor to Imperium - alongside Axel Dieter Jr. (now known as Marcel Barthel) in Progress, PWG and Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw). Walter and Thatcher captured the wXw tag team titles in 2017.
WHO IS KILLER KROSS?
Killer Kross is a 34 year-old Las Vegas native who began his career in 2014.
While Kross doesn't have much gold in his past, he made an impact in every promotion he was a part of. After beginning his career in Global Force Wrestling (GFW) in 2015, he would wrestle for Lucha Underground as "The White Rabbit."
Kross' exploits aren't confined to the States as he wrestled for AAA, often teaming with Johnny Mundo (John Morrison). He has wrestled with and against many big name talents including Cody Rhodes.
However, Kross' biggest story would occur in Impact Wrestling. From 2018-2019 Killer Kross would get involved with the title picture being Austin Aries' muscle when he held the Impact World Championship.
He would eventually get into a title program with Johnny Impact (John Morrison), and even enter a Fatal Fourway match for the Impact Championship featuring Brian Cage and Moose. In 2019, Kross asked for his release from Impact and made his problems with the promotion public.
Impact Wrestling would eventually grant Kross his release, months after releasing his girlfriend Scarlett Bordeaux - who is currently signed with WWE - making him a free agent.
