Darren Matthews (August 10, 1) is an English professional wrestler. He currently wrestles in multiple E-Feds under the ring name Bully Demise.

## Backstory

As a child, Bully Demise was brought up in the worst part of Birmingham, England. Violence was common in his hometown, with knife crime becoming an everyday occurrence. To defend himself from the streets of Birmingham, Demise decided to become a Bare Knuckle Brawler. His career in Bare Knuckle Fighting lasted about two years before he decided to move to South Carolina to pursue a professional wrestling career.

Tragedy struck after he migrated to the United States, as South Carolina became a post-apocalyptic wasteland. After weeks of travelling the wasteland, he eventually found a professional wrestling event that was put on by other survivors. This was when he met Drew Anderson. They didn't know each other for very long, as Demise discovered a way out of South Carolina and eventually moved back to England.

## Bare Knuckle Brawling Career

At the age of 20, Demise decides to become a Bare Knuckle Fighter. Throughout his career, he faced the likes of Bobby Gunn & Stu Bennett. In early 2014, "The Career Killer" bit an opponent's ear off during a brawl and spat it back out at him, before putting his middle fingers up and elbowing his opponent in the face to win the fight.

After one of his fights in 2014, Demise was stabbed with a 6-inch blade by someone attempting to steal his prize money. However, he refuses to elaborate on this incident due to legal reasons, but he did endure some serious injuries as a result. He has stated that he did escape with the money, despite the significant blood loss. The attack left him with a 10-inch scar across his lower back. The punches he took during his career left him with a disfigured nose. Despite this, he expresses no regret over this stage of his life.

## Professional Wrestling Career

### Online Wrestling Federation (2018 - Present)

In the summer of 2018, Bully Demise made his professional wrestling debut. However, his career didn’t take off until November 2018 when he captured the Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Oliver Awesome and Psychosis. His first championship victory was a turning point in his career, as his character went through major developments in the following months.

Not long after his first championship victory, he was put in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match against the newly formed New World Order (nWo). Surprisingly, Demise found a way to overcome the duo in under 5 minutes.

At the inaugural OWF Wrestlefest event, Bully Demise made history as he became the first double champion in the Online Wrestling Federation when he won the United Kingdom Championship against El Destripador and retained the Intercontinental Championship against Jonathan Ray. However, this wouldn't last very long, as he lost his Intercontinental Title the night after in an Iron Man match against Aleksander Vachon.

When the OWF restarted in 2020, Demise was drafted to OWF Excel. His first match of the show was against Jakob Perry for the United Kingdom Championship in a Knockout Match.

In February 2020, the United Kingdom Title was replaced with the European Championship. Since Demise was the United Kingdom Champion before the change, he was awarded the European Championship. Soon after, he formed a tag team (known as the 'Wasteland Warriors') with Drew Anderson. In their first match together, they became the inaugural World Tag Team Champions in history.

In early 2021, the Wasteland Warriors, who changed their name to the Peaky Blinders, shockingly lost the Tag Team Championships to Joel Wright & Dan Murphy. This loss would be the downturn for the duo, as tensions began to rise between them. Drew began confronting Bully after three straight losses in a row. After a few weeks of this, Demise snapped. He came out after a match Drew Anderson won &, instead of congratulating him like initially thought, he attacked his tag partner from behind.

### Lucha Elite Wrestling (2019)

On June 27, 2019, Bully Demise made his debut in Lucha Elite Wrestling. His debut made an immediate impact, as it started a rivalry with Drew Anderson.

A week after his debut, the two superstars were put in a ladder match for the LEW Television Championship, which Bully Demise won. However, after the match, the newly crowned champion viciously assaulted Drew Anderson. Shortly after their ladder match, they were put in a Steel Cage match, which was also won by Bully Demise after he power slammed Anderson into the cage wall.

### World Wide Wrestling Network (2018 - 2019)

In December 2018, Demise debuted in the World Wide Wrestling Network. His debut match was a Triple Threat Ladder match against Jason Muerte Jr. and Joe Blade in the main event of Monday Night Melee. Ever since his debut, he has been dominating the roster.

On May 6, 2019, he was involved in a Brass Knuckles match against Glen Bradner. For most of the match, Bully Demise was not taking any bullshit as he dominated his opponent. Eventually, Demise walked out with the victory via a pinfall in the crowd.

### Ring the Bell Wrestling (2019 - Present)

When Bully Demise debuted in RTBW, he was entered into the Knockout Tournament, which he would go on to win, capturing the Knockout Championship in the process. Throughout his reign, he would defend the championship against the likes of Aleksander Vachon.

### Advanced World Wrestling (2019)

In his AWW debut, Demise lost to Justin Gates in his hometown of Birmingham. The week after, Bully Demise interrupted a match that Justin Gates was involved in and cost him the match. This sparked a rivalry between the two, which saw Bully Demise destroy Justin Gates in a Knockout Match at AWW Summer in the City. Unfortunately, this would be the last match we saw between the pair, as AWW closed their doors in late September.

### Martyr International Wrestling Federation (2019 - Present)

During his early career in MIWF, Bully Demise was put into a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, which he would eventually win. However, he was soon dethroned by Blake Frost.

Not long after, he formed a tag team with Drew Anderson, named the 'Wasteland Warriors'. They would soon become the number one contenders for the World Tag Team Championships. When it came to the title match, they came up short against the champions, the Martyrs.

On Christmas Eve in 2019, the Wasteland Warriors took part in the first-ever Wasteland Rules match, which they ended up winning. This meant they would get another chance at the Tag Team Championships.

In April 2020, the Wasteland Warriors had yet another Wasteland Rules match, which they eventually won, proving that there's always room for more victims in the Wasteland.

### League of Pain Wrestling (2020 - Present)

Bully Demise made his debut in June 2020. His debut match was in a Battle Royale, where he eliminated four other people before being sneakily taken out of the match by the eventual winner. A couple of weeks later, he was in another Battle Royale, which he would go on to win.

At the No Escape PPV, Bully took part in a Tag Team title match as part of DeathCore. Him & his tag team partner won the match, thus winning the titles. Later that night, he also took part in an Elimination Chamber match for the Global Championship. He also went on to win that match, becoming a double champion in the process.
