Joseph Riley

Joseph Maximilian Riley (born September 1, 1990) is a British professional wrestler currently signed to Elite Answers Wrestling under the sub-branch War Made Wrestling.

Early life
Riley was born in Cambridgeshire, England, where he spent 14 years of his life there. He is an only child to his father Bishop Riley and his mother Pilar Riley. At a young age, Joseph was a victim of bullying, and he would be bullied nearly everyday. This would almost drive him to suicide, but he eventually was able to persevere and he swore to himself that he would never be a pushover again for somebody else.

Japan and early career
At the age of 14, the Riley family including Joseph, moved to Tokyo, Japan. They would stay there for nearly 7 years, where Joseph would become intrigued by professional wrestling. He would then start training, learning the art of Strong Style, under the teachings of his mentor, Kuroda Haru. Riley quickly learned and had become familiarised with the style, resulting in his first wrestling match at the age of 15. Riley would then continue to work as a freelancer in Japan, never staying in one company too long. This was partly due to how Riley would become aggressive at times, especially when his opponents made him angry. He would sometimes injure his opponents severely, and these incidents would also occur in training and sparring matches with friends. This earned him the nickname of "The Rage-Filled Combatant". While he would earn some fans, both in Japan and overseas due to this behaviour, many people were disgusted by him, and rejected him. Despite this, he would wrestle in Japan for 6 years, until his family moving back to England.

Moving back to England
After living for nearly 7 years in Japan, Joseph and his family moved back to Cambridgeshire. Joseph was glad to be back in his home, and while back in Cambridge, he took interest in another form of the wrestling business. The technical aspect. Riley would then go to classes where he would learn and master the technical aspect of professional wrestling, thus giving him a new arsenal of weapons he can use to damage his opponent. This would give him another nickname, "Strong Style Engineer". Joseph would then work in England for another 6 years, again as a freelancer.

War Made Wrestling (2017 - Present)
Now having a technical style and using strong style, Joseph Riley was ready for the big leagues. After seeing an ad for the return of War Made Wrestling, he decided to sign with EAW, seeing it as a perfect chance for people to give him respect which he feels he deserves. On January 7, 2016, it was announced that EAW had signed Joseph Riley to a contract on their sub-branch, War Made Wrestling.
