## Biography

### City British Champion

When he was younger, Pete once won the City British Champion title. He held the belt above his head for a photo. (*Welcome BACK To City British Wrestling*)

### Raising Joe and Bro

Once, when Bro was nine years old, Pete watched Silver Bro wrestle with a friend. When the boy fell and hit his head on a rock, Pete stopped Silver from helping him, saying that the fight wasn't over. Despite this, Bro helped his friend. Something almost imperceptible changed in Pete's face as he looked at Bro, and he went back into the house. (*A Regal Engagement*) After this, it became Bro's belief that he had Golden Joe as a "do-over" because he didn't get what he wanted from Bro. (*The Colossal Tussle II*)

When Golden Joe and Silver Bro were wrestling in their Trampoline Federation as kids, Pete watched from a distance as Bro tried to encourage Joe, who was feeling insecure about his ability compared to Bro. (*The Regal Wrangle*)

On a cold, rainy day, Pete watched Joe fight another friend. He had made sure that Bro would not be there. When Joe told his father he didn't want to knok the boy out, Pete said nothing. Joe hit the Golden Shower and knocked him out, and Pete said "that's my boy". (*A Regal Engagement*)

### Disappointment and Joe's attack

Pete entered the ring after Silver Bro had won a match against Kid Flippz, reffed by Golden Joe. He was proud of his sons, but disappointed after the Regal Wrangle. Bro thought it was because he wanted them to go for the world title and not the tag team titles, while Joe thought it was because he came second. Pete showed them a childhood photo montage to get them to "remember why you are brothers, and why you are wrestling." (*Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

After Golden Joe recieved significant damage to his shoulder while fighting The Constructi-Bombs at the Colossal Tussle, Pete came down the ramp, shaking his head. Though Silver Bro had won the match for The Precious Metals, Joe couldn't handle his father's dissapointment and hit Pete over the head with the belt, then knocked him unconscious with a Golden Shower. Fight Nurse put him on a stretcher. When he came to as he was being carried away, he whispered something in Bro's ear. (*The Colossal Tussle*)

### Supporting Bro

In Bro's dressing room following Bro's match against Mable Syrup after the two-year hiatus, the two looked at photos of Bro and Joe, of a younger Pete holding the City British Champion belt, and of Bro holding his new daughter Titanium Tina. Pete reassured Bro that he was always the one in the family destined to be champion, and told him that his win at the Colossal Tussle would be for the whole family. (*Welcome BACK To City British Wrestling*)

Joe was extrememly reluctant to talk to Pete even two years after the assault. When Bro wanted him to meet Tina, he implied that he didn't want to if there was a chance of seeing Pete. (*Let's Do A Sad!*)

### Pressing charges

Two years after Joe's attack after the Regal Wrangle, he pressed charges against Joe and Detective Hank 'The Hammer' Hankamer placed his son under wrestle arrest. (*A Regal Engagement*)

At Joe's trial, Bro, as Joe's defense, asked witness Pete how he felt about the family; Pete said he had never been more proud of his family, particularly Bro. Bro called him a coward for waiting so long to press charges, but Pete retorted that Joe was a coward for running away to Hollywood, and that "when cowards come back, then cowards face consequences". He would not comment on Bro's self-percieved cowardice, but told him that a champion needed a family, and to do it for Titanium Tina. As he left, Joe called him a "wanker". Later, when Joe was pronounced guilty, QC said that as a favour to Pete, he would let the brothers fight for the right to stay in City British Wrestling. (*Wrestlers' Court*)

### Regaining confidence in Joe

Midway through the Colossal Tussle match between Joe and Bro, they heard footsteps from the top of the ramp and saw Pete holding Titanium Tina who was taking her first steps. Joe took advantage and locked in the Full Golden, which led to Bro tapping out and losing the match to Joe. He came down the ramp and put Tina into the ring, who toddled over to Bro. He rested a hand on Joe's shoulder and smiled the happiest smile Joe had ever seen, before saying "my son". (*The Colossal Tussle II*)
