HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6'1", 247 lbs. BIO: Sick and tired of being stuck in a dead end job, not willing to work in the fishery like so many people before him, and knowing that his so-called "country's government" couldÊcare less about Newfoundland, the man known to many now as "The Lemondrop Kid" decided it was time for a change. So... Lloyd Rees, like so many Newfoundlanders before him, headed "out west" to Alberta, Canada to make his fortune. After numerous jobs from Calgary to Fort McMurray, Lloyd stumbled across the NAPW. Lloyd always dreamed about becoming a wrestling superstar and though this was he chance to really make it big. He was right!! In the NAPW, Rees became a name known, not only through western Canada, but the entire wrestling world. "The Lemondrop Kid" or "LDK", as he now wishes to be called, won multiple titles in the NAPW; Television Title, Provincial Title, and the NAPW Title and worked his way to the top of ENN Top 250 list for 2006. After a successful first half of 2007, Rees suffered a series of setbacks both professional and personal and went on a losing skid. A loss to the rookie Jacob Venar proved to be the wake-up call Rees needed. The ensuing alliance and rivalry with Venar has helped Rees find his footing as the "Technical Terror" of NAPW. "LDK" is back! APPEARANCE: Shoulder length black hair and any given facial hair style surround the face of "LDK." His ring attire consists of black shoot fighting style wrestling boots, black knee pads with red stars, black trunks with "Free NFLD." written in white super imposed over a red star, black elbow pads with red stars.

Jake Phoenix
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6'9", 289 lbs
BIO: When the term "badass" is mentioned in NAPW, the first name to come to mind is Jake Phoenix. The "Murder City Devil's" path of destruction through NAPW is quickly becoming the stuff of legend, as nearly every major star in NAPW has felt Phoenix's wrath, and suffered the spine-jarring effects of his devastating Tombstone piledriver. Phoenix's early career in NAPW was defined by his time with his "demon brother" Donovan Astros, as the two sought to take over NAPW, eliminate its heroes one by one, and rule the promotion with an iron fist. However, when Astros' true colors were shown, Phoenix split from him in decisive fashion, nearly crippling him with the Tombstone and showing the world that there is only one Murder City Devil. Phoenix's feud with Ravager delighted and shocked the NAPW fanbase, as Phoenix actually succeeded in temporarily ending the NAPW career of the legendary superstar. Recently, Phoenix has worked to etch his place in NAPW's history books, with a record-setting reign as Heritage champion, longer than any other championship reign of any kind in NAPW history. Phoenix's path of destruction grows wider and wider with each successful title defense, and his recent actions have improbably made Phoenix into one of NAPW's most popular competitors. But don't expect Jake Phoenix to change his ways whatsoever - once a Devil, always a Devil. APPEARANCE: Phoenix is a large, burly man, in the style of a Scott Hall or Sid Vicious - muscular, but rounded and hardened, with the kind of muscles you get from years of hard labor and the power you get from years of hitting people really hard. He wears dark black pants and a black tanktop, sometimes with a black sleeveless shirt over it, and black fingerless gloves. Phoenix wears his trademark Oakley shades to the ring, but discards them before he enters.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Tag Team Championship, Heritage Championship
"The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6'7", 335 lbs
BIO: Ryan is all about himself. His friends are few and far between and he likes it that way. However, the friends he does have he is fiercely loyal to and protective of. Still, nothing is allowed to come between him and his goals. Always leaning toward the heel side, Ryan has been alternately face and heel throughout his career. It just depends on what his immediate goal is at the time. Ryan accepts the occasional loss in that he looks at situations long-term, but his confidence is overwhelming. Will take a loss knowing a win will come the next time. Classic counterpuncher. Puroresu trained and very technically sound, to go along with well above average power. Think a cross between Scott Steiner in his prime Steiner Brother days crossed with Gary Albright. Something like that. APPEARANCE: A well built caucasian man, built along the lines of Brock Lesnar with the added height. Blonde hair combed back. Usually wearing dark sunglasses. Comes to the ring with a black elbow pad on each elbow, black trunks and black kneepads. Black (see a trend?) boots with "DR" on the side.

Bruce "The Beast" Richards
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6'3", 270 lbs BIO: From a very early age, Bruce Richards realized that the best way to get what he wanted was to make someone do all the hard work for him. After getting into the University of Alberta on a wrestling scholarship, he got his Psychology degree with a minor in Business, and then joined up with the GWA in Medicine Hat. There he met Stylin' Kyle Roberts, and they became The New & Improved D-X, a mutually beneficial relationship that eventually made them the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions in that company's history. The two expanded their horizons in 2005, and joined the NAPW, where in the very first main event in NAPW history, they won the Tag Team Title belts. For over a year, The New & Improved D-X was the most dominant tag team, not just in the NAPW, but in the wrestling world. In January 2007, The New & Improved D-X's fifth title run, "The Dynasty" ended, and thanks to a clause in their contract the two men were forced to split up. Things were looking up, though, when D-X's good friend Rex Caliber became the new NAPW owner, and offered to tear up that contract and write them a new one. With Kyle and Bruce back together, a sixth title reign was inevitable. And then Kyle hit Bruce in the face with a steel chair. Bruce Richards faced many enemies over the next few weeks, but the two most powerful were his former partner, Kyle Roberts, and his own dark side, The Beast. At Sole Survivor II, he finally put the D-X rivalry to bed, at least for the time being. As for The Beast, he seems to have won that battle as well, keeping control of his rage outside the ring, but nobody knows how long he can keep that under the surface. Outside the ring, Bruce Richards is well-dressed and well-spoken, often accompanied by his girlfriend and former nemesis Tiffany McIntyre. Inside the ring, The Beast is cold and calculating, brutal and unforgiving... Never Trust The Beast.
