Staff

Staff
These are the people that keep the wheels rolling here in Golden Gate Wrestling. Some of these you may see onscreen while others may take a more behind the scenes roll. Without these hard workers Golden Gate Wrestling would be in a constant state of disarray; anarchy. Love them or hate them they help keep the lights turned on.

Owner

Isaac Cornelius III
IC3 is a relative newcomer to the professional wrestling scene but quietly he's made a living for himself in the Golden State. Sole heir to the Cornelius Estate he decided to strike out on his own by attending USC and graduating with honors, earning himself a degree in business management and administration. A standout golfer and water polo athlete in his youth he knows what it takes to deliever the absolute best; dont let that suit and tie fool you. Looking for the next big challenge - and big payday, he looks to tap into the large economy and market that is California through the avenue of pro wrestling.

Talent Relations

Steven O'Reilly
As everyone knows, Talent Relations is a very crucial aspect of every promotion. You need to scout new talent, handle any issues that may arise amongst existing talent, and as needed to act as the liaison between talent and management among other duties; enter Steven O'Reilly. Known to be a man hard as nails during his youth he commands respect in any room he enters. He dabbled into professional wrestling in his prime but made a bigger name for himself on the martial arts circuit in Japan and despite his advanced age he still has plenty left in the tank should he ever have to put some young punk back in line.

Commentary

Alexander Smith (play by play) and Mark Robertson (color)
Smith makes his long awaited return to the announce table with Golden Gate Wrestling. With 40+ years of experience in the industry from working backstage, working as a manager, or at home at the announce table he brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Most recently working as a commentator in Missouri and with a stint as a manager in the South he's ready to return to the business he loves.

Mark Robertson is a man with a rather short yet rich history in the wrestling business. Getting his break in managing the legendary, Drew Stevenson, Mark Robertson is known for his quick wits as well as snarky attitude. Having been a fan of the wrestling business since he was a child, Robertson knows the business inside and out and is very knowledgeable when it comes to wrestling and its terminologies.

Robert Freeman and Stephanie Clark
This dynamic duo handles a good majority of all the interview work here in Golden Gate Wrestling. Both are making their big debut into the world of wrestling; Robert studied television and film and has worked for local television stations for the last 8 years while Stephanie was an Olympic alternate for the 2008 US gymnastics team before moving on to cover sports over the last 5years on broadcast radio. Both wont shy away from asking the hard questions the fans want to know and both are eager to make a name for themselves in a new industry.

Ring Announcer/Janitor

Julian Masterson
It's not everyday do you see someone pull double duty in quite this way but for Julian it's a way of life. IC3 originally only intended to hire him as the chief of the custodial staff but when he heard him merrily sing while preparing the brand new arena he was sold. Whether it was out of genuine appreciation or a cost cutting measure (likely a bit of both) Julian finds himself unexpectedly at the forefront of a very important duty; announcing the competitors properly. And for Julian it's in his best interest to knock it out of the park for both his own pride and making the cleanup later a little less tiresome lest the fans rebel with their popcorn and sodas.

Head of Security

Hans Vandenberg
The Beast from East Germany. Son of Eastern German immigrants he grew up in the state of Pennsylvania, often getting sent to the principal's office as a "problem child". In high school he gravitated towards sports to unleash his aggression before getting kicked off the football team for hitting a spinebuster on a QB sack. He finally found his niche as a bare knuckle fighter and later working as a bouncer for popular nightclubs. While he has calmed down a bit from his youth he still has a mean streak that runs red hot. He's here to keep both the wrestlers and fans inline, willing to get his hands dirty if necessary.

Senior Official

Jack Williams
Boxing, wrestling, even youth soccer Jack Williams has often donned the stripped uniform to ensure order is upheld. He's a man that'll always call the action down the middle and look out for the health of the competitors and isn't afraid to make an unpopular judgment call during crunch time. Jack Williams certainly isn't a pushover and he isn't cut from the same cloth as what he calls "rag-doll referees"; the refs that take a bump and stay down for 5 minutes, you shove and he'll shove right back.

Referees

Bobby Brooks and Joe Angelini
Bobby is the type of person who never wants to get on anyone's bad side if it can be helped. While he does his best to enforce the rules he could be intimidated by anyone large enough to toss him like a dart. He doesn't have quite the force of personality Jack Williams has as he's still getting his feet wet fresh out of the academy but give this kid some time, he'll develop as a referee.

Joe Angelini is your high school P.E. teacher; always harping and yelling and pushing you to your limit. Mr. Angelini would normally have seniority on the officiating staff but he considers this a part-time gig, spending most of his afternoons coaching kids and yelling at them from his safe if boring public school teaching job. He'll always be on hand for the tapings but house shows? That's Bobby Brooks problem, not his.
