The Trick (RLS CAS)

Andrew Ormson (born 14th May 1991 in Kentish Town, Camden) is a professional wrestler currently signed to UNION Wrestling, where he performs under the name The Trick. He previously had a spell with PRIZE Wrestling League.
Considered something of an underrated anomaly, Trick has chosen to stick mainly to smaller promotions in various countries, something he takes a lot of pride in1.
==Career==
===Early career (2008-2010)===
After training for more than a year with famed former wrestler Gilly Adams, Ormson would begin appearing for smaller, London-based promotions under the name Andy Mann, portraying a handyman gimmick2. Little more than a comedy character, it was towards the end of this period that he began sketching out the cocksure, wily character that would become The Trick.
===Europe & Asia (2011-2014)===
Ormson would debut for several European promotions, most prominently AXL in Germany, initially as "Tricky" Andy O, before dropping the latter part to become The Trick, mainly fulfilling either the part of the cocky heel, or acerbic tweener. Notably, he had a Cage match with Big Gunther that would prove to be the Behemoth's last match before passing away in 2012.
He'd try out for Dutch-based promotion Wrestling upLOUD! several times across this period, while also making several trips to Japan to fight in smaller promotions there. He'd appear in Japan MIGHTY! Wrestling in 2014 as the latest in a long line of "gaijin" facing off against Ōzeki Bōmei, though he'd lose to the veteran.
===North America (2013-2017)===
The Trick would make his way to North America in mid-2013, appearing mainly for Fort Wayne Wrestling Championships in Indiana, and Edge of Reason Wrestling in Canada. In the former, he had a short feud with Dante over the Fortified Championship, winning it in January 2015, before dropping it back to him a month later.
After moving to America full-time, he also won the Anglo-American Wrestling (known as Double A) World Championship three times between May 2015 and July 2016, twice from Sean Hamer and once from Chris Fawkes. Throughout 2017 he served as Double A's go-to for putting young talent through their paces.
===UK Scene (2017-2020)===
Citing a need to closer to family and friends, Trick would return to the UK, taking up a part-time role as a heel in Fife Wrestling Kingdom. He'd also make sporadic appearances as Lucha Europa's Hace el Trabajo, when regular performer Paul Keegan was injured or on leave, though this was criticised due to his height being drastically different to others who'd taken the mantle (Keegan is 6"3, with others being between 6"1 and 6"5).3
He featured prominently for Midlands Pro Wrestling during 2017, defeating Andy Cook for the Inter-Counties Championship at Outlaw's Day 2017. He'd drop it a few months later to Damien Raven in a match that satirised the Montreal Screwjob.
After a break during his PRIZE spell, he'd return to MPW in 2019, wrestling a handful of shows before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic hit the promotion. He'd manage to appear a few more times in early 2020, before joining much of the alt. British wrestling scene on a hiatus.
===PRIZE Wrestling League (2018-2019)===
In September 2018, it was confirmed that The Trick would appear for newly founded promotion PRIZE Wrestling League. He posted to Grapplr in October, confirming he'd make his debut on the first episode of PRIZE Fights, though for unclear reasons he was pulled from the show.4 He instead debuted on the first episode of PRIZE Live two nights later, defeating Foster. 
He become a solid mid-card option for PRIZE during this time, having solid matches with Piranha and Foster during this time, before entering into the latter's feud with Nova Champion Mikey Ace. He'd end up supplanting Foster, and facing the champion at Eyes on the PRIZE 2018, though he'd lose the match. He'd continue to feud with Foster until the hiatus and WCE takeover, after which he'd be placed into the Junior Heavyweight Division.
He made several critical comments against WCE in April 2019, which saw his appearances suddenly stop.5 After months of negotiations, he was reinstated to the roster in the Welterweight Championship Ladder match at Up Front 2019, though he would again fail to win a title. He debuted on Championship Wrestling in the latter half of June, defeating Johnny Fraser. He'd make only a couple more appearances before seeking his release in July 2019.
===UNION Wrestling (2022-present)===
In January 2022 Trick, along with Harry Daniels, Piranha and Nick Logan, was signed to UNION Wrestling as part of their men's division expansion. He'd make a couple of appearances in the subsequent pre-Reboot Era shows, before making his programming debut at the Bring Down The House event in March 2022, defeating Hace el Trabajo in a UNION Showcase.

==Trivia==
*Ormson tends to have the flag of each country he's wrestled in stitched into his entrance jackets. While he hasn't, to date, appeared for a Mexican promotion, he has represented Double A several times in the country.6
*Ormson also has a liking for attires in the colours of the Romanian flag, due to his wife being Romanian.7
==Behind-the-Scenes==
#In actual fact, I improvised much of his backstory very recently, after deciding to bring him to UNION, so I didn't want him to be bumping into too many other stars on the Wiki and potentially cause contradictions.
#As with Nick Logan/Logic, this is another example of me merging an old created wrestler into the backstory of a newer one. Yes, I really thought "Andy Mann" the Handyman was funny at one point. I can only apologise.
#I actually only noticed the height disparity after adding the Hace el Trabajo spell to his repertoire.
#Looking back at the PRIZE Universe diary, I don't actually know why he didn't debut on the first show as planned.
#As with the above, I can't recall why he actually stopped being booked in matches around this time, but figured a little narrative flavour couldn't hurt.
#As with point #3, this was an error I only noticed after adding his backstory. The attire already had the Mexican flag.
#In actual fact, I just noticed after using the Randomizer on his attire colours that they were the colours of the Romanian flag.
