Brief Biography (optional): Arthur was born to a working class family in Birmingham to a drunk father and tough mother. From a young age, he got into fights and caught the attention of the Birmingham underworld, due to his propensity for knocking out kids much older than him. With his large frame and pent-up rage, as well as a desperation to earn cash, he entered the bare knuckle boxing circuit and developed a fearsome reputation. Before long, he'd moved up to bookkeeping and started to take a percentage from the fights.
From there, he started his own operation and through hostile practices, took over the Birmingham underground fight game for himself. The money was good and it was only natural for him to get into the professional wrestling market, owning a piece of every promotion operating in the city. Not a single match gets booked in Birmingham without Arthur Winchester knowing about it. His history as a fighter came in handy when he decided to step in the ring for himself, opting to lead by example as both promoter and performer. Now, he's expanding his operation stateside and aims to make Winchester Holdings Ltd. a global brand.
Motivations: To conquer the US wrestling scene and open up new avenues of business for himself, all while representing the prestige of British wrestling traditions. He is proud of his roots and will not compromise in his mission statement.
