Andrew Franklin

Andrew Franklin (born February 15, 1987) is an American professional wrestler, also known as The Authority. He is currently working for the Premiere Wrestling Alliance.

Early life
Franklin was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana with one brother. Around Franklin's tenth birthday, his father was sentenced to jail time. His mother was re-married when he was twelve, to an Ex-Marine. His step-father was strict, and forced him to stay in top physical condition. Franklin excelled in sports, and had an interest in wrestling. Professional wrestling was the only physical contact sport that his step-father detested. In an attempt at breaking free from his constraints, Franklin pursued a career in wrestling.

Training
Franklin tracked down the nearest wrestling school, which ended up being the Windy City Wonders Gym in Chicago, Illinois. The head trainer, Jay T. Nitro, was very strict and powerful in his training of Franklin, which forced him to grow a callous towards physical and emotional pain. This, in addition to his upbringing, attributes to his brute style and intimidating work ethic.
