Tyrone Riske (RLS CAS)

Tom Scholl (born 28th September 1992 in Hammersmith, London) is an English professional wrestler currently signed to UNION Wrestling, where he performs under the name Tyrone Riske, and was the inaugural Brawl Champion.
He is known for his long-running rivalry, and current tag team, with Grayson Gage.
==Career==
===Early career (2010-2016) ===
Scholl was trained, much like many of the "new wave" of Best of British Wrestling talent thrown into the limelight to cut costs, by Ed West. Scholl was an early favourite due to his penchant for catchy entrance themes and colourful attires. He was also a sound technical wrestler, but at the same time a highly willing hardcore wrestler.
In Fife Wrestling Kingdom and British Outlaw Wrestling, between 2013 and 2015, Scholl put on several highly rated matches with long-time rival Ken Jones (later known in UNION Wrestling as Grayson Gage), and his trainer Ed West. During this time, he held the FWK Prince Championship twice, both times as a moderately successful heel version of his loud persona.
In 2016 he won the FWK Jacks Championships in a match fighting alongside Jones, getting a shock win for the duo and working the next few shows as an unwilling partner stuck in a tweener position. They dropped the titles to The Fahey Bros three months later to allow both former champions to leave the promotion for PWU/UNION Wrestling.
===PWU/UNION Wrestling (2016-2018)===
Scholl debuted in October 2016 for the then PWU-branded promotion as Tyrone Riske, and played the heel-like foil to Grayson Gage's face in several lauded hardcore-style matches leading up to, and then at, Hardcore Brawl 2016. This directly lead to the creation of the Brawl Championship, to capitalise on the buzz around it.
Unsurprisingly, in the tournament to crown the inaugural champion, it was Gage and Riske that persevered and Riske would win the Brawl Championship against his long-time rival in a Ladder Match at PWU Capitol Punishment 2017. He would defend a couple of times in the intervening months before the next Live Event, PWU Money In The Bank 2017, where he would drop the title to Gage, who'd returned days before the event to accept the challenge of Riske.
Riske was intended to challenge veteran free agent Vladimir Shchors in the Dark Match of European Invasion 2017, but had trouble getting out of the UK and was eventually replaced by Bobby The Fan.1 He would stick mainly to Attendance Only shows after this, not appearing at either of the next two Live Events, surfacing occasionally for filler matches on shows, before defeating Rufus Caine on the first Live From The Union after Open Challenge 2017, throwing his name into the ring for the vacant #1 Contender's position for the Inter Championship in the process, though he would unfortunately miss the rest of the first season through illness.
He'd return in November 2017 on an episode of UNION Wrestling Live, losing to Matsuda and refusing the post-match handshake that had become a staple of that show. He would only wrestle one more time, losing to Wroe after interference from Chris Andrews on UNION Unleashed in January 2018, before requesting and being granted his release.
=== Indy scene (2018-present)===
Reverting to the Tommy Risk name, he'd spend much of late-2018 and early-2019 bouncing around promotions like FKW, Lucha Europa and Elysium Encore Wrestling, battling the likes of Gigabyte, Jr., Low Blow Joe and Dirty L.A. He's settle in the latter promotion in mid-2019, remaining there and feuding with Shey and the Legion of Doof until the COVID-19 pandemic took hold.
He'd return in August 2021, having several matches with Royce Roles and winning the Elysium's Best of the Bunch tourney in early 2022.
===UNION freelancer/full signing (2021-present)===
In November 2021, UNION Wrestling held their return show, and invited Riske back, though he declined due to travel issues. However, at their December 2021 Manchester show, he was able to appear and defeat a local competitor. His victory over Bobby the Fan at the next show in Liverpool led to some confusion over his status with the company, though it would later be clarified that he was working freelance for them, and wasn't a part of the official roster.
He'd agree to be the opponent of Jack Fry's debut match at the Touchdown '22 show in January 2022, which ended in a no-contest after both were attacked by Invicta and their new member "The Three". He'd team up with Fry at the Aberdeen show to round off the month, against The Three and Bane, being pinned by the latter after the former had used some form of chanting to hypnotise him.
In 2023, Riske would sign a full-time, exclusive contract with the promotion, before going on to reunite with his former rival Grayson Gage to form the team Born 4 The Brawl (a play on both of their history with the defunct Brawl Championship), challenging unsuccessfully for the UNION Tag Team Championships against holders Zander Adder & Bane, of INVICTA, at both UNION Hardcore Brawl 2023 and UNION London Calling 2024.

==Trivia:==
*Despite being arguably better known as a heel, Scholl is noted by his peers to be a very respectful and jovial person in real life. This matches his loud persona, at least, which he says is "him turned up to twelve, eleven is just a normal day".2
*Like his idol "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Scholl is known to meticulously plan matches to a fault, something that has worked incredibly well during his time with FWK, BOW and UNION Wrestling.3
==Behind-The-Scenes:==
This information is from a real-world perspective contrary to the rest of the page!
#Him not being able to get to Prague for European Invasion, in reality, was me not properly reading my notes, and somehow putting Bobby in his place.
#This is just narrative fluff to flesh out the character.
#His "idol", in this case, because in reality his original move-set (minus Special Moves) was copied over from Savage.
