Jamie Bamford

Jamie Rhys Bamford (born April 1st, 1989) is a British professional wrestler better known by his ring name, “The Vanity” Jamie Bamford. He is currently contracted to GAW along with his brother (kayfabe, and real) Robbie Venom. The two form the tag team The Vanity and The Venom. Jamie has also recently appeared in UWL promos featuring Robbie.

Although kayfabe wise in Robbie Venom UWL promos, it is stated that Jamie is an irresponsible young man with not much interest in wrestling, Jamie is a passionate fan of the sport and has been along with Robbie since they were children.

Early Life
Jamie grew up in Wrexham, North Wales along with two older brothers and one older sister. An avid sports fan, it wasn’t long before a young Jamie discovered professional wrestling, a sport much watched by his older brothers.

UWL Promos
Jamie has appeared in a couple of UWL promos featuring his brother and UWL World Heavyweight Champion Robbie Venom. Jamie had decided to join his brother in the US and joined the UWL wrestling school where he made quick progression and impressed trainers. It is thought that UWL were testing Jamie out whilst he finished his training before bringing him in as an active member of the roster – the storyline being Robbie training his younger brother up. However, Jamie was recently offered a contract with British promotion GAW and with Robbie also on their roster, Jamie saw this as a better opportunity for him personally. It is still thought that Jamie may join UWL at a later date once he has gained experience in GAW.

Grapple Arts World-Wide
Jamie debuted in GAW on August 22nd as part of the tag team “The Vanity and the Venom” along with his brother Robbie Venom. At the show the team became GAW’s first ever Universal Duos Champions when they defeated the Crank County Dare Devils. Jamie and Robbie would go on to successfully defend these belts against Japanese Thunder the next week, before losing them one week later to Talimin Shae and Masked Man (although this was down to Robbie’s decision to leave GAW, in kayfabe Robbie left angrily blaming Jamie for the loss). At GAW’s first Megacard in the promotion’s current incarnation, Jamie defeated The Phenomenal Blu in his first singles match. This week he takes on Ryan Blake.
