Alex Perez (born March 20, 1993) is a Mexican-American wrestler signed to CWL, where he is currently in his fourth year with the company. He also makes appearances in other promotions such as: Super-Pro Championship Wrestling, New Generation Xtreme, and Blackout Wrestling.

## Early Life

Alex Perez grew up in east San José and was involved in sports at an early age. He joined a baseball little league at age 8 and continued playing baseball all the way through high school, where he was also on the school's wrestling team.

After school he would go to the Bay Area Championship Wrestling Academy gym, where he would train to start his career in wrestling. He would start training in his sophomore year of high school, at the age of 16.

When he finally graduated from high school, he had the opportunity to go to a University through an athletic scholarship to continue playing baseball, but turned it down in favor of further training in BACW. He mentioned in an interview that his parents questioned his decision at first, but later decided to support him.

## Bay Area Championship Wrestling (2011-2014)

Alex Perez would train in BACW from 2008 to 2011. He would be trained by Larry Benelli, Thomas Roberts, and Martin Gutierrez. Perez stated that he and Gutierrez were close and that he saw him as a mentor and as family. Gutierrez passed away in 2013 and since then, Perez has used his mentor’s finisher wherever he goes, even using it in his honor to win the Battle of the Bay tournament. Perez, in his last year in the academy, was named BACW 2011 Rookie of the Year.

Alex Perez made his BACW debut on January, 2011. He debuted in the *Olympus Mountaintop Rumble* and was the second to last person to get eliminated. Perez soon began gaining traction in singles competition, gaining the respect of his peers in the locker room. One day, Tankian, a BACW original and someone who was known for his merciless striking style, would take notice of and challenge Perez. The two would clash many times, becoming rivals in the process, but Tankian would always come out the victor.

Perez would win his first championship at the Summer of Champions pay-per-view in 2011, as he, along with his friend and tag partner Omar Gonzalez, would go on to win the BACW Tag team championships. They would hold onto them until October where they would lose the titles on a BACW live show. They would compete in the December tag tournament, but would also fail to win that. Things started to go their way in 2013 when they would recapture the titles in the March pay-per-view, Proving Ground. Their second reign was a lot more successful as they would go on to shock the BACW universe by beating some of the best teams BACW had to offer. This time they would hold the titles September where they would lose them at the Battle of the Bay pay-per-view against the Sons of Odins (Jarl Arik & Ulf the Red) who were considered tag team legends. Although both men had lost the championships, this didn't stop them from getting right back on track for tag team title contention. On December, these two would once again enter the tag team tournament, but this time they would become victorious. Having won the tournament, Perez and Gonzalez would face the Sons of Odin at Olympus at the beginning of 2013.

Alex Perez was about to most successful year with the company. Perez and Gonzalez would go onto winning back the BACW Tag Team Championships, making them three time champs. This win would cement them as one of the best tag teams in the company's history. Perez's rivalry with Tankian would be reignited soon after his win, but this time Tankian aligned himself with other like-minded wrestlers, calling themselves The Forgotten Ones. Perez would be forced to find allies to help him fight against the new faction. He would recruit fellow BACW Academy graduates, and friends, Joe Phan, Adam Ordonez, Amir Khan, and his tag partner Omar Gonzalez. Perez tried to recruit Claude Wilson, another fellow BACWA graduate, and although they would join for a time, they would later backstab Perez by costing him and Gonzalez their tag titles and joining the Forgotten Ones.

A bit later in the year Perez would capture the Bay Area Championship, one of BACW's most sought after titles. He would go into the 2013 Battle of the Bay round robin tournament as champ. During the tournament, The Forgotten Ones would try and cheat their way to the block finals. Perez barely managed to win his own block, and he would go on to face the A-block champion, Tankian. Their match was a chaotic, as there were many interferences from The Forgotten Ones, but Perez would go on to finally beating his biggest rival and winning the Battle of the Bay tournament.

This would make Alex Perez, 21, the youngest person to win the tournament. Winning the tournament guaranteed him a main event match at next years *Olympus* pay-per-view, assuming he would be able to defend his Battle of the Bay contract. Perez would defend the Battle of the Bay contract in the November pay-per-view, Vendetta, against Claude. This would allow him to focus on his match at Olympus, where he would would go up against the BACW champion, and member of the Sons of Odin, Torygg. Torygg was a mountain of a man with inhuman strength and incredible speed for someone his size. He had also been the BACW Heavyweight Champion for quite some time, being perhaps the most dominant champion in the title's history. Torygg had beaten the best BACW had to offer, and it was looking like the match at *Olympus* was going to be a slaughter.

Perez prepared all that he could, but it is incredibly difficult to prepare for a match against someone like Torygg. Although he was a big man, you couldn't prepare for him the same way as other large competitors. Perez's smaller size and agility weren't much of an advantage as Torygg was extremely athletic and deceptively fast for his size. During their match, Perez would try his best to avoid Torygg's offense, and would be mostly successful for a time, but things would hit the fan as Torygg would finally get a hold of Perez and unleashed a series of punishing moves. Things were looking bleak for Perez, and when it seemed like he was about to lose, Perez kicked out. The crowd was in shock and Torygg was visibly irritated. Torygg would continue his offense, but would keep failing to keep the challenger down. Perez would suddenly have a second wind, throwing everything he had, including himself, at Torygg. Perez would target the legs at every chance he got and would eventually lock in his mentor's signature submission, forcing Torygg to tap. After the match, while making his way up the ramp, Perez would collapse from the injuries he sustained from Torygg. He would, be rushed to the hospital and it was unclear whether he would be able to defend the title. 2013 was Perez's best year in the company, and although he managed to capture the BACW Heavyweight championship, his 2014 was not off to a great start.

While Perez was gone, The Forgotten Ones would help their newest member, Adam Rush, win the February Destiny tournament by interfering in Rush's matches. Perez was given until the March next pay-per-view to show up and defend both the BACW and Bay Area championships, or be stripped of the titles. He would end up making it to the show, though still battered and bruised from his encounter with Torygg. Perez would go on to defend his championships against Rush, in a very close match. After the match his career rival, Tankian, would challenge Perez for both his titles. Perez agreed with the condition that they would be locked in a steel cage to not allow for any outside interference. Tankian reluctantly agreed and the match was set.

## The Betrayal & Re-Birth

The day of Perez's second championship defense came, and he and Tankian would have a match full of brutal strikes and punishing submissions. Towards the end of the match, the referee was knocked out. Almost immediately Claude, one of the Forgotten ones and former friend of Perez, rushed down the ramp with the key in hand. He opened the cage and helped Tankian beat down Perez while the ref was down. Omar Gonzalez, his old tag partner, eventually came down the ramp and entered the ring to help out the outnumbered Perez, or so Perez thought...

It looked as if Omar Gonzalez was going to help Perez as he confronted the other two men in the ring, but then instead turned to Perez to deliver a devastating Gotch-style piledriver. The crowd would be left in shock and Omar and Claude would leave the ring to let Tankian finish the job. The referee would recover, too late to witness to transpire, but just in time to see Tankian deliver the final nail in the coffin. Tankian would deliver one final blow to Perez and pin him to become the new double-champion.

Some time would pass and The Forgotten Ones would run roughshod in BACW, winning most of the championships, and recruiting more members. One night, a group of wrestlers decided to finally take a stand against The Forgotten Ones. War would ensue in the ring and backstage as members from both sides of the conflict would fight it out. The battle would make its way to the ring where the battle would start turning in their favor of The Forgotten Ones. All hope seemed lost as the villains seemed to be winning the battle, but then a masked figure emerged from the crowd. He wore black jeans, a black t-shirt and a leather jacket, along with a black mask. This person's weapon of choice: A baseball bat

The man would start attacking the members of The Forgotten Ones, turning the tide of battle in favor of the locker room. Eventually it was down to one members of The Forgotten Ones (As the masked man would take down Tankian with a jumping cutter beforehand): Omar Gonzalez

The man would come face to face with a demoralized Gonzalez. He would eventually remove his mask, revealing his identity to Omar and the rest of the people in the building, and it was none other than Alex Perez. Omar was still in a state of shock and practically motionless, then suddenly Perez would deliver a huge brainbuster on his former friend.

Throughout the following weeks, Omar Gonzalez and The Forgotten Ones would target Perez. Perez was quite successful in fending them off for a time, but the numbers eventually overwhelmed him one night. Members of The Forgotten Ones would gang up on him, but then Perez's old friends would come to his aid. Among them, Joe Phan, Adam Ordonez, Amir Khan, and a recent BACW debutee, TJ Black. These men would once again work together for some time, but relationships would be strained between them and Perez, reason being because of Perez's new colder attitude and his obsession with taking down Tankian and Omar Gonzalez.

On the following PPV, the last stand against The Forgotten Ones would be made. Perez and Co. would take on members of The Forgotten Ones. Perez would take both Tankian and Omar Gonzalez in one night in separate matches. Perez would face Gonzalez in a street fight which he would come out of victorious, though battered and bruised. By then end of the night, the anti-Forgotten Ones coalition were victorious, but the final match remained. Perez would take on Tankian in a deathmatch for the BACW Championship. Tankian would put Perez through yet another physically taxing match, but Perez would manage to pull through and win the match by submitting Tankian with a little help from the barbed wire.
