Bio: Alex Marley was an anxious kid, as are most ‘gifted’ students. In high school, he wasn’t the biggest or the strongest, but he could definitely hold his own, which he had to prove on several occasions. After a fight with a particularly sizable football player in his junior year, Alex was sought after by his school’s wrestling coach, thus leading to two state championships and a full ride to any school of his choice.
A promising Ivy League amateur wrestler, Alex was on track to be all-American. He had everything in place, but the pressure of balancing a Princeton education with a part-time job and wrestling led the 21 year old to several anxiety attacks.
After an especially rough instance, he sought remedies for his anxiety. No medications seemed to work, and he began to feel as though it was hopeless. That is, until an acquaintance of his offered him marijuana.
Out of options, Alex felt like he had no other option. So, he began to smoke regularly, and it felt great! He could focus more on his schoolwork, and he was doing really well on the mat! But a routine pre-match drug test would soon be the fall of the once-rising star. Axed from the wrestling team, and losing his full ride, he was forced to withdraw from his schooling. For months, Alex had no idea what to do! No other school would take him, and he had grown so fond of wrestling that he felt lost without it.
Scrolling through social media one afternoon, he stumbled across an Action Wrestling clip, and he was immediately entranced! He began to seek out the product, tuning into CBS weekly to catch episodes of Clash, and subscribing to Paramount+ to see every Pay Per View live. After the Havoc Rumble, Alex realized what he needed to do. Sure, Pro Wrestling is a lot different than Collegiate wrestling, but he knew that it would scratch the exact same itch! So he packed up his car and drove up to Las Vegas, and met with the AW higher ups to work out a contract.
Now, Alex finally has the means to scratch his itch. But what will come of the once-great athlete? Will he be added to the list of Action Wrestling greats like Teo Blaze and Carter Shaw? Or will he be yet another flash in the pan? Tune in Mondays on CBS to find out.

Entrance: Alex Marley passes through the curtain, just fucking vibing to the music of MGK's Sublime RemiXX. He makes his way to the ring, dancing the whitest ways imaginable, while slapping the hands of every willing fan on the way down the ramp.
