G-Rich

G-Rich (Born January 30th, 1981) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his success in FWA, along with his work in LOW, AW, and CCW.

Training
Ever since he was a young child, Greg Richards aspired to become a professional wrestler. An avid fan of the WWE, he joined a friend's backyard wrestling league, Backyard Kamikaze Wrestling, and excelled in the program. These kids would wrestle directly on the ground, and this is what G-Rich has said built up his strength and toughness. In his third year in the federation he captured the illustrious BKW Title, after years of serving the midcard (even though he led his own stable, eXcalibur, to great success for two years). He defended that title for a year until he quit BKW at the age of 19. He searched Albany and found a wrestling school, New Age Wrestling (NAW) and enrolled. Impressed by his skill and knowledge, Head Trainer Peter Ystremski booked him for his first professional match after 3 weeks in the program, in which G-Rich lost to Lance Dreggs, a veteran who took G-Rich under his wing and taught him the tricks of the trade. During his run in NAW G-Rich captured the NAW Tag Team Championships twice with Briggs, along with the Electricity Championship and the coveted NAW Championship. At the age of 24 in 2005, G-Rich left NAW for FWA.

The Beginning
Fantasy Wrestling Alliance was created by A-Plus Oil owner, Mr. Kearns and Mr. Kearns needed some top stars to get the company off the ground. After coming to Albany to scout local talent, he was extremely impressed by G-Rich's performance in NAW. Kearns loved G-Rich's technical ability combined with strength and speed, and also valued G-Rich's ability to connect with the crowd as a cocky and arrogant heel. Kearns contacted G-Rich after the show and signed him to an FWA contract. Before the first show, G-Rich was selected to become the leader of a new heel stable, Hybrid Theory, consisting of himself, the high flyer Mike Curtis and the rough, brutal Justin Reynolds.
