Brief Biography (optional): McLeod has spent his entire life surviving solely on his wits and street smarts. Both have gotten him through several scrapes and have seen him compete in barely legal underground fighting overseas to competing in the former Sin City Wrestling's development facility Fear & Loathing wrestling. He was a staple in the revival of PCW, competing in Louisville until the promotion closed its doors. Most recently, he was part of a tag team that saw success in the Midwest, working for Twin Cities Wrestling (2CW) until its closure in mid-2018. Rumour has it that he was competing in bare knuckle fights in the seedier Vegas dives when he caught wind of Chasing Glory Wrestling through an old acquaintance in 2019. He went on to be a dominant force there for the latter part of 2019 thru March of 2020 when the first season ended. From there, he signed on to take part in the Triad Challenge being hosted by Splat! Media, surprising everyone when he emerged victorious. From there, he signed on for the rebirth of WARPED Wrestling as well as the upstart company The Wrestling Commission. TWC didn't last. Warped seemed to stall out after two shows, leaving Bruce to return to CGW for its second season and to sign with AGW in the summer of 2020. The company was shaky, management flaky and talent seeming to drop like flies from week to week. He went undefeated, racking up wins against talent that subsequently vanished after the humiliating loss and earned himself a shot against Television Champion Jerry Watts for the final event under the Anything Goes Wrestling moniker. He won the match in a huge upset, finally capturing his first singles title in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He chose to opt out of his contract and not stick around for the rebranding, preferring to relinquish the title he found he didn't really want and move on to a place with a bit more stability in management. The rest, as they say, is history.
Motivations: glory and the thrill of a good, clean fight

Wrestling Information.
Entrance Theme:  "Iridium" by The SIDH (Wrestle Da Remix)
Entrance Description (optional): The sound of thunder rumbles ominously over the sound system, lights flickering as though there’s a storm brewing before the dubstep intro of "Iridium" erupts over the speakers. Fog rolls out along the ramp and the lights flash wildly between blue and white as the volume grows over the sound system. Bruce appears at the top of the ramp, illuminated with a spotlight so that his larger than life silhouette is visible against the fog as the lights flare white around him, his head bowed as if he's praying. When the bagpipes come in and the song shifts into high gear, Bruce starts to make his way slowly to the ring, rolling his shoulders, throwing a few shadow punches as he goes. Halfway down, he stops and unzips the WRESTLE DA hoodie he has on over his ring gear. Shrugging out of it, he goes over to the barrier and tosses it into the crowd, getting a huge pop from the fans. He climbs the ring steps and respectfully wipes his feet on the apron before stepping between the ropes.
Wrestling Style: submission brawler
Favorite Match Type(s): street fight
