Colin Klein

Colin Klein (born June 8th, 1998) is a Canadian CAW wrestler from Calgary, Alberta, Canada currently signed to JTV Wrestling competing on the Mega Rush roster where he is the current JTV Hardcore Champion in his second reign. He is also a former JTV Submission Champion and JTV Middleweight Champion.

DEBUT (2017 - 2018)

Colin Klein debuted on October 13th, 2017 on the indie scene as Colin Klein. Unfortunately Klein has no memory of his debut match but he remembers losing a lot, especially to Samoa Joe (who he was involved in a short feud with), Donald Trump and ALF (Alien Life Form). In late 2019, Klein formed a stable with Lightning and X-Punk and he changed his ring name to Jack Gemini then shortened it to just Gemini. The stable was called the Havok Squad and they went undefeated for 12 matches before losing. They picked up a couple members including Saboloki, Animal and a few others Klein doesn't remember because they left shortly after they joined.

Havok Squad went on hiatus for four months then briefly reunited before disbanding, to this day, Klein is not in contact with either member. Gemini changed his name to Chris Sinister and struck out on his own, getting absolutely annihilated by several CAW wrestlers whom Sinister can't remember.

RWO (2018 - 2018)

Sinister debuted for RWO, defeated an opponent who he can't remember in a two out of three falls hell in a cell match, therefore gaining a contract with RWO. Sinister would get buried in RWO because almost everybody there was 7' 4" and submissions were banned, submissions are Sinister's speciality. Sinister would befriend Billy Raydog and would receive a JTV tryout, passing with flying colours. He left RWO following drama and politics backstage. He and then friend Saboloki (who also wrestled in the league) would attempt to create their own league but it kept on getting taking over, further straining the relationship between Sinister and RWO. In an interview, Klein would state the following.

"I left because I had beef with a guy who I will not name because he is an awful creature. Anyways, a couple weeks after I left, I heard that the promotion folded, the GM was bragging about dating a 14 year old and a female wrestler on the roster had her nudes leaked. Fuck that promotion."

Sinister would change his ring name to Jack Gray then Draven Gray then Draven Sinister, entering a gimmick crisis as he would try to find ways to get himself over.

IWN (FUCK KNOWS WHEN IF EVER)

Sometime in the 2020's, Colin Klein finalized his dream of running a wrestling promotion. The company is funded by DWC Chairman Doug Waters who owns 50% of the IWN. Colin will be the booker/creative head/writer for Monday's Massacre, Tuesday's TakeDown and Friday's FURY.

Online Wrestling Style and Persona

Klein's gimmick is Win or Die Trying which he claims he got from a PlayStation avatar, his never say die attitude and determination winning over the crowd, he wears a letterman jacket to the ring and has Win written on his right hand and Die written on his left hand. He had trouble trying to get over with the fans and went through multiple styles and characters before settling on his current Win or Die gimmick. He wore Terminator face paint in his early JTV career which earned him the nickname Canadian Terminator. His style is a hybrid mix of shoot, strong style, submission, technical and high flying. Klein has changed his look a lot over the past couple years due to his striking similarities to other wrestlers such as Baron Corbin, CM Punk, John Morrison, Drew McIntyre and Austin Aries. In an interview he stated that he wants to be himself and be as original as possible, he doesn't like being compared to other people.

Colin has been involved with two stables during his short tenure in the indies: Havok Squad which lasted about 4 months, they went undefeated in 12 matches and another which he never wanted to be a part of, the stable was dubbed "The Klein Family", which lasted for about a day. He was also supposed to be involved in two other stables: one involving Kevin Impact, Kevin Impact's girlfriend and Issac King. The other was the Freakshow, a villainous clown stable lead by Drascal, according to Drascal, Klein was supposed to be in Freakshow but was replaced by Maverick.

When asked about a signature catchphrase, Klein shrugged and said "To be honest with you, I think catchphrases are a bit too cliche, I let my skills do the talking."

PERSONAL LIFE

When asked about his personal life, Colin answered "Almost everyone in online wrestling comes from a broken background and I'm no different, I've had a crazy home life but I'd rather not discuss it because there are some memories that I would like to let go of."

Klein is a private person and keeps his real life identity a secret, saying in an interview:

"I don't feel the need to tell people my real name because I portray a fictional character, most people in JTV know my real name but they keep it secret, this isn't my real face and I'm not buff. Wrestling is my escape from my real life and I want to keep the two as far away from each other as possible. On screen, I am Colin Klein, off screen, I guess you'll have to come to Calgary to find out who I am."

When asked about writing an autobiography, Klein had answered "Maybe in the future, I haven't been around that long but I do have some interesting stories to tell so who knows."

In August 2023, Klein began a relationship with fellow JTV wrestler Jasolyn Rutkowski better known by the ring name Jasolyn Havoc.
