Adrien

Adrien Cochrane (born October 5, 1984, more commonly billed by just his first name, Adrien) is an American E-wrestler. Though he is known in the ring as a speedy all-rounder that is also a high-flying threat, he is infamous for his mischevaous antics such as pranks, stunts, impersonations, and other comedic acts. He is the only consistent member of the tag team/stable, Live Wire. He currently works for Allstar Wrestling Association which is part of the WfWA(World Fantasy Wrestling Alliance, also called the World Wrestling Alliance) where he has recently allied himself with fellow AWA star, Dean Hobkirk.

Early Life
Born as the fifth child to Ludie and Lois Cochrane, Cochrane grew up in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, right outside of New Orleans. He excelled in school, being a 4.0 student, and a starting wide receiver, as well as a track runner, for St. Bernard High School's Eagles. His career in wrestling began when he with a few friends went to a local wrestling training facility. His lanky figure allowed him to adopt the high flying style very easily. He also tried to work to the other styles (technical, brawler, martial artists, tag team, etc.) to make himself an all-rounder. The training facility recommended Adrien as well as his training partner, Houston, to the Western Wrestling Xtreme Entertainment.

WWXE
Adrien started his wrestling career in WWXE at the age of 17. Adrien won his debut match against Shadow, the then number one contender for the WWXE Heavyweight Title. Adrien's win was called one of the biggest upsets in the company's history. One week later, Adrien and Houston debuted their tag team, Live Wire. The won an upset victory over Matthew and Michael Jennings. In the match, the two debuted their tag team manuevers, the Poetry Rana (opponent in the corner, Houston or another partner gets on his knees, and Adrien runs at the corner, hops off his partner's back and hits a hurricanrana; sometimes done with a chair) and the Slice Throat (Gorilla Press Slam to Adrien Cutter combo).

Adrien immediately began working his way up in the Cruiserweight division. He earned his his number one contendership for te title in a battle royal. At his first pay per view ever, he captured the WWXE Cruiserweight title when he pinned Dias de Luche Libre. One week later, Shadow attacked Adrien backstage after Shadow won the WWXE Heavyweight title. Adrien strained his back and was out of action for 2 months. Due to his injury, he had to relinquish his Cruiswerweight title.

Adrien returned from his injury by costing Shadow a tag team match. Shadow then challenged Adrien to a ladder match for the WWXE Heavyweight title. The ladder match went extremely wrong for Shadow. Adrien was able to capitalize a Swanton Bomb off the top of the ladder in the inside of the ring to the announce table on the outside of the ring. Adrien also hit an Adrien Cutter from the top of the ladder to the outside. At the end of the match, Adrien finally captured the WWXE Heavyweight Title.

Soon after his title win, Adrien put his Heavyweight title on the line, Houston put his Xtreme Title on the line, and the unlikely tag team of a cowboy and Native American, Billy The Kidd and Big Bear put their tag team titles on the line in a tag team match. Adrien and Houston won the match, giving Live Wire their first tag team title win. About six months later, the WWXE closed, with Adrien still holding the Heavyweight title, and Live wire still holding the Tag Team titles. Adrien left the company undefeated with 31 wins and no losses.

PCW
WWXE offices transferred Live Wire, as well as half of the rest roster, to Pacific Coast Wrestling. They immediately began feuding with the stable of the company, the Radical Thrillz. The tag team champions, who were in the Radical Thrillz, challeged Live Wire, and ended up losing the titles to Live Wire. It was Adrien and Houston's first of four PCW Tag Team titles. The two lost then won back the titles to the Radical Thrillz. Live Wire finally lost them to the Jennings Brothers from WWXE. Adrien and Houston, even though they were still a tag team, began focusing on singles titles.

Adrien started by winning the PCW Cruiserweight Championship in a four-way match. Adrien held the title on and off for a year. At the end of the year, Adrien had held the title eight times. Adrien temporarily left the cruiserweight division after he won the PCW Royal Rumble 2003. He eventually won the PCW Title. He lost the title on his first defense to none other than Shadow from WWXE.

Adrien returned to the cruiserweight division. He resumed his on and off run for the remainder of the year. By the time he left the cruiserweight division, he had held the Cruiserweight title sixteen times over the course of his two years in the PCW Cruiserweight Division. Adrien was inducted in the PCW Hall of Fame after he won the title the sixteenth time. Live Wire won the PCW Tag Team for the third and forth time before Adrien was entered in a tourament to decide the number one contender for the PCW Heavyweight title.

Adrien was awarded a shot at the PCW Title. He won the match, winning him the PCW Heavyweight title for the second time, however, after the match, PCW was invaded by JWFE and Adrien was attacked by JWFE Heavyweight Champion and owner, Jake.

PCW vs. JWFE
Adrien and Houston, as the Heavyweight and Californian Regional Champions, were very involved in the PCW's side of the invasion. However, mistreatment from PCW President Michael Martin, caused Adrien and Houston to question their position with PCW. Adrien defeated Jake for the JWFE Heavyweight title making him the only PCW/JWFE Unified Champion. At the match to decide which company goes and which stays, Adrien and Houston hit the Slice Throat on the final PCW wrestler in the match, causing JWFE to takeover the PCW.

JWFE (First Stint)
Though Live Wire's defection probably saved JWFE, the owner, Jake McCalisin, still did not like Live Wire, mostly due to Adrien winning the JWFE Title from him. Adrien responded by calling Jake a "dictator" of the place. Adrien lost the JWFE Title in a match where Jake was the special guest referee. While Adrien was in a camel clutch, Jake called for the bell.

After the match, Adrien attacked Jake. Jake was hospitalized, and he called for Adrien's arrest. The police did not arrest him, but Adrien's, as well as Houston's, contracts were terminated.

Hiatus and College
Adrien was already attending Louisiana State University throughout his entire wrestling career. When he was released from the JWFE, he focused on college. He joined the university's track team. He registered a 4.26 in the 40 yard dash. He won a trophy for first place in the SEC in the 100 yard sprint and the mile run. He also went on to win at the NCAA level.

Adrien graduated with honors and received his Master's degree in Psychology during his hiatus. He was the youngest to graduate from the school with a Master's degree at the age of 21.

Back to the JWFE
When half of JWFE was bought by Scott Pritchard, his first act was reinstating Live Wire. The enrage duo was given a chance by the new co-owner to face Jake's bodyguards, Stretch and the Black Flame, who were the Tag Team Champions. To give the advantage to the challengers, Pritchard made the match a ladder match, Adrien's specialty. Live Wire won the match, but were immediately stripped of the title by an enraged Jake. They held the JWFE Tag Team titles for a grand total of 2 minutes and 10 seconds, the shortest in JWFE history.

As a result of Jake and Scott's wars, Adrien was pitted in a bunch of ridiculous matches by Jake to keep up with Scott. The tables turned when the JWFE Tag Titles were on the line in a rematch when Live Wire faced off with Stretch and The Black Flame. Adrien and Houston won the match and right after, Stretch and the Black Flame betrayed Jake and joined Live Wire and the fans. The era of the stable, Live Wire, began.

Live Wire with four members did not last very long. Jake forced Stretch and The Black Flame to face Adrien and Houston again. The match ended in a no contest when Houston betrayed Live Wire and allied himself with Adrien. Jake stripped Adrien of his half of the tag team titles and named himself Houston's new tag team partner and tag team champion. Furious with this, Scott Pritchard booked Houston and Jake vs. The Black Flame and Stretch with the special guest referee, Adrien. Despite his hatred for Jake and desire for revenge against Houston, Adrien called a fair match and Stretch was able to pin Houston.

A week later, the Black Flame was put out of action by two masked men, later revealed as Jake and Houston, and Stretch and The Black Flame was threatened to be stripped of it due to not being able to defend it, until Adrien stepped in for the Black Flame. Adrien and Stretch began their title run by defeating Jake and Houston. Adrien and Stretch held the titles for 6 months. Houston then betrayed Jake and rejoined Live Wire. Adrien and Stretch lost the titles. After feuding with the Amazing Red and continuing to fight Jake, Adrien won the tag titles with Houston a third time, the JWFE Cruiserweight title twice, the JWFE United States, and had a second run as the JWFE Champion until the JWFE closed its doors.
