• Entrance: "Johnny's Rebellion" hits as the beginning lyrics set a calm tone as Mercer walks out with his hood up on his long trench coat which has a hood and is tattered. He lifts his head, closes his eyes and put his hands together like he is calm. His name is screamed out by many different voices as Mercer's destruction by Kingsley is shown on screen and he is told to wake the fuck up. He pulls down the hood takes off the trenchcoat and throws it to the ground. He lets out an angry roar and air kicks then steps forward as he walks to the ring. He walks to the ring and rolls on in as he then just paces around, ready to fight, ready to damage someone as much as he has been damaged himself. • Biography: Johnny Callum Mercer is originally from Chicago, Illinois where he was just an every day guy. In School him and his best friend Andrew Parker grew up wrestling fans which is something they always wanted to pursuit. At first it wasn't an easy task, they couldn't even afford wrestling school. So instead they started a band and played out gigs to try to raise money for wrestling school. Unfortunately even when they raised some money, all the places were booked up in Chicago other than one. Despite arguing Parker ended up taking the spot and Mercer found a school in California. When he moved there he took up a job as an IT technician as there was never any promise his life long dream would happen. Lucky for him he was educated enough to get a job like that as it led him to his first real love, Rachel Sasha Slays. At the time Rachel was a glamour model who only met when Josh was hired to fix her computer. From there they feel for another and Rachel started to cool from her Hollywood lifestyle, mostly because she was becoming tired from it and felt fake as a person. They ended up being together for two years while Mercer was stuck in school. Unfortunately the broke up when Rachel took an offer to join a company in Toronto, meaning they couldn't work long distance. It was a blow for Mercer but it turned out to be a blessing. The blessing came when TXW reached out to Mercer, who was still in wrestling school and struggling to find employment from a local company. He was recommended by Slays, who was now back together with Josh Nightingale, the President of TXW and at the time the man everyone thought was THEE boss. Turns out he was working under Brian White the whole time. Once Mercer was hired, he never had it easy as his debut was against a big Russian bad guy known as Aleksandr Grigory. Some thought Josh booked it to hand his friend Alek a title, some thought he was out to punish Rachel's ex. Neither turned out to be true and in the end Mercer WON the ladder match to win his very first championship in his very first professional match. Talk about luck. His name the Survivor and underdog was born and years went by. He started very successfully by winning the IC title THREE more times and won the tag team titles with MMA fighter Ronda Rousey. He had a brief fling with her at the same time but she ultimately became too expensive for the company, hence why she left. Mercer kept going but eventually his bubble burst and his early success became his own success. He had a string of failed relationships and was questioning if he was in the right business overall. Only he wouldn't give up, he had to keep going. Lucky for him that he did as he eventually helped out Zoey Mathieu, who was being threatened harm by Frank Stone. Hell he even kidnapped her. Mercer was there in time and helped her get over her terrible experience. They eventually fell for one another and things started to turn around in the ring at the same time. Mercer was going down a good path. Unfortunately wrestling can be cruel as Mercer went back into Limbo after a short spell with the Global title. Isaiah Thorne was just too much for him, even if the so called rising superstar lasted five minutes in TXW. It still left Mercer in limbo and questions being asked. Eventually he had enough and turned heel by beating up DJH, who was a lumberjack in a match. He then did the unthinkable by dumping 2017's hottest woman Zoey. At the time he called it a break as he wanted her to use it as motivation to get better. It didn't work and the two became very sour towards one another, especially when Mercer joined the Justice Bringers. Mercer found success again alongside them as he won the tag team titles twice. He also found love again as he hooked up with Ashley Ricci's twin sister Kayleigh, who won back a contract with the company. 2018 was kind to him but he expects 2019 to be even better. At the turn of the year Johnny defeated Pierce Kingsley in what was his biggest win of his career to date. He followed that with wins over Matthew Taylor, Chloe Middleton and Vincent Underwood. He did lose alongside his fellow Justice Bringers and Matthew Taylor as they lost to Pierce Kingsley, Dean Creed, Tyrone Marshall and Ashley Ricci. It led to him facing Kingsley for the gold in a Corridor Of Hell which saw him finally win his first ever World Championship. It was the beginning of his feud with Pierce as the two would go on to fight in a non title chain match. That set up the rematch which was a three stages of hell match at Immortality. It would turn out to be a horrible night for the Survivor as he ended up with a broken leg and also several brain trauma which ended his World title reign. It also headlined how dangerous Pierce Kingsley can be. Eventually in 2020, Mercer would return with this Jekyll and Hyde type persona as he defeated Kelly Nightingale at Bloodlust to finally send her into retirement. • Achievements/Accomplishments: [list below] TXW 2.0 World Champion x1 TXW 2.0 IC Champion x3 TXW 2.0 Tag Team Champion x4 [W/ Ronda Rousey x1, Andrew Parker, Chloe Middleton and Raine x3 under freebird rule] TXW 2.0 Global Champion x1 Triple crown champion in TXW 2.0 Member of Justice Bringers [W/ Raine and Andrew Parker] Retired Kelly Nightingale |
