entrance description: The opening cords of “Break on Through” by The Doors radiates through the speakers as Eli Bowers steps through the curtains snapping his fingers to the song. He beams at the crowd as he continues to snap. When the chorus hits, he sings along encouraging the crowd to join him. He nods in approval as he makes his way down to the ring, slapping the hands of fans en route. He jumps onto the apron and wipes his feet before entering the ring. He holds up a single fist as he walks to his corner and waits for his opponent.
bio:Elliot “Eli” Bowers was born in Seattle, WA but he and his father moved to Olympia when his parents divorced. He grew up an optimistic young man, not letting the constant mistakes of his parents keep him down. He moved out upon turning eighteen and began his wrestling training at Adam Stryker’s “Stryke Dojo” in Los Angeles, California using the money he’d gotten from working several odd jobs since the age of sixteen. A natural athlete, Eli picked up the sport quickly but didn’t really become more of a technical wrestler until after his first year and a half. Originally considered a “high flyer,” it was suggested by his mentor, Adam Stryker, that he tone down the theatrics and focus more on becoming a better in-ring competitor. After another three months of trial and error training and readjusting his moveset, Stryker recommended that Eli consider sending his demo to a few promotions.
He signed a contract with Frontier Grappling Arts in July of 2013. With FGA, he has wrestled a dark match with Jimmy Page which he lost. Not being booked to wrestle with FGA for another month, Eli, not the type to wait around, sought out other options and heard about a promotion that was starting up. That promotion was Pro Wrestling Rebellion and he quickly contacted their management office to negotiate a contract.
