Thiago Rocha

Rocha with his grandfather Papa Clément

**Antônio Rocha Guerreiro** (born April 10, 1998), better known by his ring name **Thiago Rocha**, is a Scottish professional wrestler of Brazilian and Haitian descent who is signed to such promotions as POW and Greatness Pro.

## Life Before Wrestling

Rocha and his family are from Haghill, a poor, poverty-stricken part in the east end of Glasgow, Scotland. Not having enough pounds to come by, Rocha and his family would start to be divided between two sides. In 2004, Rocha's father would stab Rocha's mother to death. The father was also wanting to kill Rocha and his brother Lukas but they were well hidden within the family apartment. The father was reported to the Police Force of Scotland by a witness of the murder and eventually got arrested.

The Rocha Brothers would eventually move in with their uncle, also in Haghill, and things would get calmer for the brothers from here.

Antônio and Lukas, at ages 20 and 18 specifically, would fly to America in order to go to pro wrestling school, where they would be trained by their grandfather and retired pro wrestler François-Dominique Clément Blanchet, or better known by his ring name **Papa Clément**.
