Rob Riot (born 01 March 1984) is an English wrestler, promoter and executive. He is currently the part owner of Riot Star Wrestling, where he also serves as an active wrestler and is a member of the faction The Bastards
G-Fed Wrestling Network[]
Rob Riot first appeared on the wrestling scene in No Limits Championship Wrestling in 2003 under the moniker "J-Man". The teenager soon went to war with Glyn Speight and Ian Insane, winning praise, accolades and glory with his finisher, The Locking Clamp.
After a short time in the wrestling business, J-Man quit.
Ten years later, Rob Riot, now using the name Rob Riot, reappeared in Pinnacle Wrestling Association. He would quickly achieve success and became PWA's first grand slam champion.
He then moved onto Extreme Anarchy Wrestling, He was a headliner in Gate City Wrestling.
next Generation wrestling and onwards[]
Riot arrived in next Generation wrestling riding the crest of a wave, defeating his first few opponents and winning the Brass Ring Tournament within his first five matches.
Faced with an influx of ex rivals from the PWA, Riot allowed himself to become distracted, trapped within his own game, allying himself with David Dreadful to get inside the head of Max Soloke. The effect on Riot's form was disastrous, he lost to Rick Salvatore.
Embarrassed and angry, Riot redoubled his efforts and reached deep into the pits of his psyche, mentally bringing himself face to face with his own past and that black day in November 2003. He showed, for the first time, a glimpse of his humanity to the nGw audience. And it appalled them. And what appalled them made him stronger.
At Last Call X, Riot reached a new peak in terms of unscrupulous behaviour, scheming and manipulation. Pitched into a threeway battle for the Brass Ring with Scarlett Rose and Billy Fowler, Riot cashed in the prized item at the exact moment that Fowler appeared to have the match won, and then later took advantage of the confusion by pinning Scarlett himself to win the prized award back again.
After the closure of nGw, Rob Riot joined New Edge Wrestling in 2015. He made his debut against Hunter Valentyne at NEW: Tension In Texas. He would continue his feud with Hunter Valentyne under it's closure in 2015.
Riot Star Wrestling[]
Towards the end of the FedWars Network, Rob Riot saw an opportunity for a new wrestling promotion and opened Riot Star Wrestling, promising to attract the Elite Wrestlers back to FedWars. It succeeded as the likes of Nocturnal soon joined. So too did Hunter Valentyne who reignited his feud with Rob Riot.
Trivia[]
- Rob Riot was the first (and, to date, only) Grand Slam Winner in PWA, winning every title available to male wrestlers.
- He was also the very first GCW Badstreet Champion, taking a brutal 35 foot plunge through the JumboTron in order to secure victory over Twice Nightly and Nort Salvatore. Riot considers himself to be 'even' with Salvatore's father after this victory.
- Although it is widely known that Riot's infamous Broken Clock tattoo is, in some way, an aspect of his agitated mental state, nobody yet knows exactly why. The symbolism of the Eternity Clock is unknown.
Rumours have circulated for years about what really happened on that fateful day in November, and why.
- Those who truly know what happened on that evening are limited to two; the J-Man's former nemesis Ian Insane, and Riot's longtime tormentor, Maxwell Soloke. The 'why' is a story yet to be told.
- Many have commented that Rob Riot bears more than a passing similarity to the lead singer of British indie/grunge rock act Precious McKenzie, although Riot himself is quick to dismiss this as speculation and nonsense.
