'True Final Boss' Seth Dallas

Altan Ganbold (born 9th July 1993) is a Mongolian-American professional wrestler, known professionally under the ring name **‘Chopper’ Seth Dallas**. He is currently signed to the CWL brand, but is best known for his 6 year work in WWE’s developmental territories under his ring name **Seth Nunez**. He is WWE and CWL’s first (and so far only) Mongolian born wrestler to have worked with the two promotions.

Ganbold signed a contract with WWE in 2013 and was assigned to NXT (WWE’s farm territory). He was released by WWE on September 31st 2017, deciding to not resign with the company and letting his contract expire. Ganbold would appear in multiple wrestling promotions since his departure, most notably working under LAW, MLWF, ROH and the CWL since 20th February 2021.

## **Background**

#### Early Life

Altan Ganbold was born on 9th July, 1993, in Choir, Mongolia to parents Batuhan Ganbold (ex-military officer, father) and Gerial Ganbold (cattle farmer and teacher, mother). Altan’s mother, Gerial, died in 1995 due to unknown causes, when Altan was about 2 years old. This, coupled with his father’s disdain for the military following his service and wanting to give his son a better life, lead to the remaining family emigrating to The United States. From there, the Ganbolds successfully made it to Nevada, where the family currently resides in Carson City.

While growing up, he enrolled in a sports school and competed in american football and rowing. He’d eventually transition into competing into wrestling at the request of his father.

## **Professional Wrestling Career**

#### Early Career (2009 - 2013)

In 2009, Ganbold enrolled himself in The Snake Pit Pro Wrestling Academy, under coaches Jake The Snake Roberts, Sinn Bodhi, D'lo Brown & Kenny King. He would complete his training in 2010. After this, he debuted in the Reno, Nevada-based independent promotion Heart and Soul Pro Wrestling on August 23rd, 2010, defeating Jack Stryker under the ring name **Ali Gabban**. He would remain in this company until he was picked up by a WWE agent in 2013. This run wasn’t starved of success, however, as Ganbold would walk away from the promotion with the HSPW Nevadan State Championship, defeating Arik Gertz in an iron man match.

#### World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)

In January 2013, Ganbold was signed to a contract by the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He was assigned to WWE’s developmental territory NXT, making his debut on the May 30th, 2013 episode of the show, losing to Dolph Ziggler. After this loss, Ganbold was not used on television, remaining off television and in the performance center until April 7, 2018, when he made his television return to NXT under the ring name **Seth Nunez**, coming out to help Roderick Strong attack Pete Dunne and give the win to The Undisputed Era, cementing his position in the stable.

Ganbold’s wrestling style completely changed, becoming much more of a high flyer with sprinkles of his wrestling background wrapped in between.In July, Nunez told WWE that he would not resign with the company, choosing to let his contract expire due to personal reasons undisclosed to the public. He was written out of the stable and off of TV on the August 29th episode of NXT, where he was attacked by his stable mates after disappointing them with a developing losing streak and his loss to Ricochet on that episode of the show. Ganbold’s contract officially expired on August 31st 2017.

#### Ring of High-Standing (ROH)

On 15th January 2018, Dallas appeared on ROH in sporadic appearances. His time in ROH was relatively brief, taking on the likes of Resura Kang, Mark Adams, Canalla Pirata and Wade Urena. His most notable accomplishment was winning the ROH World Tag Team Championships with his long time tag team partner Liam Reyes, from the team of Scott & Tyler Hummel, stylized as “The Blue Bloods”, on March 18th 2018. Dallas would not hold these long, and eventually drop the titles back to the duo two weeks later. Dallas has since said in interviews that he did not like the constant travel ROH put him through, and the fact they were booking him with old tag partners despite wanting to break into the singles scene. He wrestled with them up until December 14th 2020, citing his ambition to focus on working closer with LAW.

#### Los Angeles Wrestling (LAW) and Major League Wrestling Fusion (MLWF)

On December 2nd 2019, Dallas shocked the viewers of LAW and the world by appearing to attack the then current LAW Worlds Champion Caleb Robinson. A week later, on December 9th 2019, a match was set for his title in a tables match, which Dallas won by hitting the Down Under Bomb on Caleb through the announce table. He would hold this title for 413 days and become LAWs face of the company, having exceptional matches with the likes of El Hombre Blanco, Haku Haas, Arik Gertz, Jackson Hagan and Liam Reyes. On 25th January 2021, Dallas was dethroned by BHJ, avenging Arik Gertz loss and cementing him as the new top guy in the company. Dallas would immediately become desperate to keep his clutch on the top of LAW’s brass, throwing his career on the line to win back the title. Ultimately, he’d come up short once again to BHJ and had to leave LAW’s ring forever.

Throughout his time in LAW, he’d frequently work matches with partner company MJWF, putting on great matches with the likes of The Future, Grand Yeti and Condenacion. His time in MJWF was mainly used to put over newer talent, either in victory or defeat.

## **CWL Genesis (2021 – )**

#### CWL Debut, Backroom Dealings Trouble & Suspension (February 2021)

Seth Dallas shocked the wrestling world when he appeared on Genesis on 20th February, 2021 - right after his expulsion from LAW at the hands of BHJ. He faced Loto Oesefa in a good back and fourth match, but ultimately it would be Oesefa who picked up the victory against Dallas.

Only a week later, Seth Dallas would be suspended by Genesis GM Nastico, under the orders of Backroom Dealings, following a vicious chair attack on Bobby Slam at the hands of Seth Dallas. It was speculated that Dallas garnered real backstage heat from CWL officials working in Genesis as he went a little off script during the promo.

#### Return from Suspension, Affiliation with Nastico, Feud with Anthony Packwood (Early April 2021)

After the lengthy suspension Dallas received from Nastico, Dallas returned to Genesis action on the 3rd April 2021, almost two months since his last match. However, unlike before, a lot of things had changed since his last Genesis appearance. Nastico had no longer been affiliated with Backroom Dealings, as they kicked him out of the group to be called up to the Nemesis brand, so Dallas sensed an opening. Whilst sitting out his suspension, Dallas arranged meetings with Nastico to try to save Genesis from people using the brand to just catapult themselves to the main roster, in return for security to Nastico, decreasing the chances that Nastico gets assaulted in the future. Dallas listed names he wanted to feud with, and Nastico made sure they met their goals. Once Dallas returned, he'd set his sights on those who disrespected Genesis in his absence. To shake off some ring rust, Nastico put Dallas in a match with Itchimanji Fuse. After a grueling back and fourth encounter, where either man could've won, it was Dallas who managed to walk away with a victory.

The first name on Dallas' list was Anthony Packwood. He took a particular disliking to Packwood's social media presence and his constant use of Instagram to boost his follower count, instead of proving himself in the ring.

> "Anthony Packwood, you clout chasing rat. Don’t think I wouldn’t get around to you once I returned to CWL. You’ve been doing nothing but using your time here to grow your social media followers, rather than using the time to grow and improve as a performer. You really need more training, as your 2 wins and 3 losses are only making people laugh at you instead of fearing you.
>
>

> So put your ego aside and put your money where your mouth is. I want you in this ring, on Genesis, in a singles match. Once I beat your ass to a pulp with Nastico and the fans cheering me on, I will boot you down the card - where you belong - and set an example to the rest of the boys in the back. Treat this promotion with respect, or you can piss off back to wrestling in bingo halls. Good luck getting social media success with your 3 fans in attendance." **- Seth Dallas, 8th April 2021**
>
>

Anthony quickly fired back to Dallas' accusations, which set up a match for the next show. If Packwood lost, he'd no longer be able to challenge for the KoG title in the future.

> "Seth... ya know before I joined genesis, one of the things I wanted to accomplish was beating one of the top guys on the roster and a guy that I respect. Unlike the other schmucks I've mentioned before, you are a legit guy, I would argue that you are "the guy".
>
>

> But that was before I joined the CWL... now that I've been here for about a month now, I can see what a arrogant prick you really are. You really think I'm in this for the clout? For the social media gains? And that I have no passion? I don't think you realise what you just started. Yeah I don't have the best win loss record sure. But I will make people forget that and show them the real Anthony Packwood." **- Anthony Packwood, 8th April 2021**
>
>

The match on Genesis 27 had serious stakes heading into it, and the pressure was on for Anthony Packwood to deliver in the match. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, and Packwood would lose to Dallas, meaning he was not allowed to challenge for the KoG title any longer. This would later cause Packwood to leave the company altogether.

#### Feud with Tony Samuels (Late April 2021)

Seth Dallas' run in Genesis wasn't only to stamp out those who were disrespecting Genesis too much, he also wanted to elevate those around him to newer heights and unlock their inner potential. This reasoning is why the next man on his list would be none other than Tony MF'N Samuels.

> "Tony Samuels. I see your drive, your passion for the industry. You’re able to fight for your life out there and keep the fans entertained every step of the way. Passion in this industry can make you go a long way, which is why you managed to defeat Troy Winters in a non title match.
>
>

> Here’s the thing, me and Nastico are concerned that you’re losing your passion for this business. Instead of keeping your head down and grinding to become the best, you’ve taken your time to… go on a 50th state world tour….. I can tell that your confidence has declined.” **- Seth Dallas, 13th April 2021**
>
>

Dallas wanted a rise out of Samuels, even going as far to remove Nastico from ringside personally so he could see to this. The match was set, Genesis 28, Seth Dallas vs Tony Samuels. The match was heated, and both men hit hard and heavy in their match, but it was ultimately Tony Samuels who walked away with the win, much to the delight of fans and Seth Dallas himself.

> "I lost…. And that’s okay. Losing was part of the plan.
>
>

> I’m used to failure, it makes people stronger. There are examples here where failure makes them stronger. Failure can also lead to success, as you learn quicker in defeat than in succession.
>
>

> I wasn’t here to defeat Tony Samuels and ruin his confidence more, no, I see a spark…. A spark in that man’s eyes. A passion, a drive, a will to succeed in this promotion. Not many people show that.” **- Seth Dallas, 23rd April 2021**
>
>

So, Dallas had taken away someone he thought was negative for Genesis, and elevated someone who he thought was positive for Genesis. Whilst backstage, he watched the rest of the show intently, and witnessed a major upset that shook the fundamentals of Genesis - Karl Stone dethroning Troy Winters to become the King of Genesis.

#### Feud with Karl Stone and the Rise to King of Genesis Contention

In the same promo that Dallas elevated Tony Samuels in, he immediately issued a challenge in the latter half to the new King. Analyzing Stone's past mic work and in ring ability, Dallas came to the conclusion that Karl Stone was a fraud. A fraud because he was not sent by Nastico to save Genesis. A fraud because he felt that Karl Stone only cared about championship glory, because he wasn't the one sent by the GM to free Genesis. He immediately staked his claim by challenging Stone to a non title match on Genesis 29. If Dallas won, he was going to become the next in line to the King of Genesis championship.

> "Karl Stone, I challenge you to a non-title match tomorrow. I want to prove to the fans out there that you’re not worthy to hold that title. You may ‘fight for the fans’ and claim you’re ‘the people’s champion’, but I know that deep down in your heart, you’re just like Jay Scott. You only care about the money, the gold and nothing more. You don’t deserve those people’s respect, because you’re a fraud." **- Seth Dallas, 23rd April 2021**
>
>

The match for Genesis 29 was hot, heavy and fast paced, with multiple moments in the match that made fans go berserk. Some highlights include Karl Stone kipping up from a Burning Hammer by Dallas, Karl Stone hitting Dallas with his signature Spanish Fly for Dallas to narrowly kick out and Karl Stone kipping up of a Codebreaker by Dallas and using the momentum to hit Dallas with his Snake Bite finisher - which Dallas still refused to lay down for. After all this intense action, Dallas narrowly managed to walk away with the victory via a Down Under Bomb, and the next KoG title defense on Genesis 30.

#### King of Genesis Title Victory (May 2021)

Seth Dallas booked himself in for a title match against the new King of Genesis, Karl Stone. But the ride there wasn't going to be easy, as Stone did not like that Dallas constantly has Nastico by his side in his matches, so found a partner to bring along with him, that partner being Blade Coleman.

> "Well, I have someone in mind to help out. If I win, I’ll give them the next title shot, they deserve it anyway.
>
>

> Someone FROM HELL." **- Karl Stone, 24th April 2021**
>
>

Dallas immediately responded to this, calling Karl Stone weak for needing backup in their match for Genesis 30, and promising to beat Stone regardless of whoever he brings alongside him.

> I don’t care. He can bring whoever he wants in the ring. He can bring Blade, he can bring Sniperzz, hell he can bring Blade’s father and Blade’s hellhound and I’ll still bulletkick their head off, I don’t care.
>
>

> Just know this…. If he thinks he needs more heavy’s for our match next week, then he’s only proving my point right as to how much of a fraud Karl Stone is." **- Seth Dallas, 24th April 2021**
>
>

Whilst their arguing was going on, Blade Coleman accepted to be in Karl Stone's corner for the match.

> "ok I just want to say I'll love to help @Karl Stone out with this guy named @#1 Jomini Mark (Kaplan/Dallas) I am not a guy to be sleeping on because if you do I can capitalize on your mistakes I am the future and forever in Genesis and I'm going to do it for my fans FROM HELL" **- Blade Coleman, 29th April 2021**
>
>

After the news broke out that Blade Coleman was joining Karl Stone's corner for the match, Karl Stone followed up the news with a press conference, saying that it is unfair for Dallas to point out Karl Stone needing help when he has Nastico and that by calling himself 'King' instead of Stone's preferred 'President', he proves he does not work for the people.

> "So, it’s ok for Seth Dallas to bring help but not me? When was the last match he won where he wasn’t accompanied to the ring, anyways? Look, getting help is nothing to be ashamed of, we are stronger when we work together.
>
>

> I was hesitant when Ryan Porter started calling me president, but you guys seem to be sticking with it. I’ve realized why I should like it. Presidents work for the people; kings work for themselves. I know which I’d rather be.”
>
>

> Seth Dallas sunk himself the moment he called himself king. Blade Coleman and I are the future. Our ideas, ideas of compassion, effort, and most importantly working for the fans will take this company by storm.” **- Karl Stone, 30th April 2021**
>
>

Dallas responded back to this a few days later, hosting a press conference of his own. Dallas hit back at the idea of Karl Stone thinking he's some sort of politician, by saying that he's all words and no fight. He then continues to call Karl Stone weak and irresponsible due to moments that happened in their previous encounter above.

> "Now, onto my main point. A KING of Genesis is far more productive than a PRESIDENT of Genesis. As you all can see from this conference, when I’ve been role playing as some kind of political figure, all you hear from me are words. All I am doing today is spewing words at you. I could have easily wrapped up my first point by simply saying that my Nastico affiliation is nobody’s business. This brings me to my first talking point. Karl Stone is all words. He makes promises to the fans that he cannot keep. He promised he’d beat me when we first faced each other, which he did not. Karl Stone is a fraud and you should take everything he says with a big grain of salt.
>
>

> Karl Stone does not work for the people. In this industry, if you want to lead the charge, you have to take the initiative. Much similar to an army brigade or even a chefs brigade, you need a leader to lead by example to the fans and the rest of the wrestlers alongside you. Karl Stone does not lead by example. In our recent encounter, I hit him with a burning hammer, to which he responded with simply kipping up. That move alone has taken peoples careers away, yet Mr Stone brushed it off like a basic vertical suplex. His action there as YOUR King of Genesis already cements Mr Stone as a wreckless, irresponsible wrestler who is not fit to set examples for the future and show the fans what wrestling truly means.
>
>

> Karl Stone is weak. A leader is supposed to always be in command of his troops and show his power where it counts most, in this case being in the ring. Karl Stone proved on Genesis 29 that he is incapable of using his signatures and finishers correctly. Mr Stone hit me in that ring with a springboard europeon uppercut and a spanish fly, both of which are his signatures, and I kicked out of them with relative ease. Mr Stone hit me with two Snake Bites in the match, and while they caught me off guard, I managed to power out once again. Mr Stone is incapable of finishing his opponents with what’s supposed to be his final move, proving he is weak offensively." **- Seth Dallas, 2nd May 2021**
>

So, the stakes were set. Karl Stone w/ Blade Coleman vs Seth Dallas w/ Nastico. Winner becomes King of Genesis. The match wasn't as hard hitting as their first encounter, but Nastico did a lot more for Dallas than Coleman did for Stone. One Surrey Road Gangcutter was all she wrote for Stone, as Dallas hoisted up the King of Genesis title in celebration.
