Jack Lazarus

Jack Lazarus (July 31, 1985) is a British-American professional wrestler. He is arguably known as one of the best wrestlers today.

## History

Jack Lazarus was born in London, England into a wrestling family as his father was a wrestler and his mother was a manager. The second of three children, who all would follow in their father's footsteps and become wrestlers. Lazarus debuted on the indies in 2004. He stayed on the indies for a few years before signing British Wrestling Collective (BWC) in late 2006. Lazarus biggest title win came in 2010 when he would win the BWC World Championship. After losing the title in early 2011 he would turn face for the first time and win the BWC Tag Team titles with longtime friend Cameron Bate. After a few months as a face, they would lose the titles and he would attack Bate, thus turning heel once again. He would then win the Tag Titles again on four different occasions with different partners as a heel before winning the World title. By his last years Lazarus was a multi time champion and was the face of the promotion. After having nothing else to do in BWC, Lazarus would leave the promotion to travel to America. His high-class heel character and his wrestling skill got him over in BWC which he would transition into when he signed with Dynamite Wrestling Promotion (DWP) in 2014.

## Dynamite Wrestling Promotion

When Lazarus signed with DWP he was instantly catapulted to the top of the company and won the DWP World Championship in his debut match against Matt Pearce. After a year with the title he would drop it to Arik Kolbow. After loosing the title he was dropped to the midcard division to help elevate up and comers in DWP. He would eventually defeat Matt Pearce to win the DWP Television Championship in late 2015. He would have good matches with the younger wrestlers helping elevate them higher in the card before dropping the title to Hammerschmidt in early 2016.

### Formation of The Sensational Six

In August of 2016, he would defeat Stone Cassidy to win the world title for a second time. Lazarus would recruit a team in order to help him defend the title and keep his reign long. The first of these members would be former rival, Stone Cassidy, who had returned from injury. Lazarus would name him the co-founder and tasked him of finding other recruits. They would then recruit Elijah Croy, Hammerschmidt, Tyson Oakley, Austin Awesome and Angelica Michaels.

During his reign Lazarus and Hammerschmidt would win the DWP Tag Team Championship, making Lazarus a double champion and making him the second triple crown champion. They would drop the tag titles to Superkick Squad (Mason and Nate Dandridge) after a masked attacker attacked Hammerschmidt from behind leaving Lazarus to defend the titles by himself. Not knowing who the perpetrator was, tensions would begin to boil between The Sensational Six. Ultimately it was revealed that Cassidy was the masked attacker who had cost them the tag team titles, consequently removing him from the group. Cassidy would state that the reason for his attack was that he never forgot or forgave Lazarus for putting him out of action and taking his title. Wanting to hurt Lazarus he figured the best way was to join his stable and gain his trust before ultimately betraying him. The two would start a heated rivalry which culminated in a grueling Barbed Wire match where Cassidy would come out on top and win the title, subsequently ending the feud.

### Feud with Aisuke Igarashi

Lazarus would enter a feud with Aisuke Igarashi and would win the world title for a third time. They would go on to have classic matches with each other with Lazarus coming out on top, winning the feud. Almost a year later, Lazarus and Igarashi would reignite their feud when Igarashi won a battle royal to determine the #1 contender for the world title. They would have more high rated matches (their Extreme Barbed Wire match having a 5-star rating). At The Clash, Lazarus would drop the belt to Igarashi, before winning it back, then dropping it back again, ending the feud.
