Jay Scott

Jay Scott (Born November 11, 1996) is a professional wrestler in CWL signed to the Nemesis brand, and is a former member of Starjammer LLC. He has also worked in Chaotic Wrestling, Prime Time Pro Wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA, XWA, AVW and PBW, Wildfire, and MWWA. He is a former CWL Tag Team Champion.

## Early Life and Training

Scott was born in Rockville, MD in 1996 where he spent his childhood, but in his second year of high school, his family moved to Washington, DC. Immediately after the move, he began training to become a professional wrestler at Prime Time Pro Wrestling, making his debut in PTPW in 2015. After moving for Boston to attend college, Scott continued to train at Killer Kowalski's wrestling school until 2018, when after a large contribution from Scott's family, TJ Wilson took on Scott as a student in the Hart Dungeon, training Scott in his family's famous technical style.

## Prime Time Pro Wrestling (2015-2017)

After several months of training, Scott debuted in Prime Time Pro Wrestling in mid-2015, where he lost his first match against former Lucha Underground Trios Champion Matt Cross, who made a brief appearance in the promotion. The match was brief, with Scott only managing to hit a running hurricanrana and a dragon suplex before Cross fired back with a Japanese-style arm drag and a corkscrew 450 splash to pin Scott for the victory. Scott and Cross shook hands after the match.

### Three Deadly Venoms

A few months after his debut, Scott began to associate with fellow newcomers to PTPW, Karl Stone and Dave Graves. The three formed a faction known as the Three Deadly Venoms, vowing to upset the foundations of PTPW, with Scott rechristening himself as "The Scorpion". While the three had very different backgrounds and styles (Stone specializing in lucha libre, Graves focusing on strikes, and Scott opting for a more traditional and technical approach), the three became fast friends as well as teammates. Despite this, the group struggled under Scott's leadership, and they were unsuccessful in their initial quest for PTPW gold.

Scott challenged PTPW World Champion Lio Rush for his title in an unexpectedly competitive match. After a few minutes of trading holds, Rush began to overwhelm Scott with his high-speed offense, but was caught with a thunderous spinebuster followed by a cross-legged michinoku driver. Rush managed to kick out, reversing a second driver attempt into a double underhook facebuster. Rush then tried to land a springboard moonsault to finish the match, but Scott managed to sidestep and lock in the cloverleaf. The hold was broken when Rush reached the ring ropes, and after an enzuguri and a Dragon's Call, Rush retained his championship. Stone and Graves were similarly unsuccessful in their chase for the PTPW Tag Team Championships in their match against The Hell Cats.

### Change in Leadership

Stone and Graves quickly became frustrated with their lack of success, and leadership of the group was contested in a Triple Threat Match, which Stone won. The revitalized Venoms swept through the ranks of Prime Time Pro Wrestling, with Scott and Graves winning the PTPW Tag Team Championships at 2016's *Grappitol City* and Stone winning the PTPW 51st State Championship at *Ignition* of the same year, though the group was unable to capture the PTPW World Championship.

Their collective reign was short lived, with all three members of the group losing their titles at 2017's *Really Badd Blood*, the first PTPW event of that year. This setback was too much for the group to overcome, the Venoms splintered after this loss, with Scott leaving for Boston to attend Harvard University less than a month later.

## Chaotic Wrestling (2017-2019)

Almost immediately after arriving in Boston, Scott made his Chaotic Wrestling debut, challenging CW New England Champion Christian Casanova in an unsuccessful effort to unseat the reigning champion. Scott won a series of other matches in the months following, but his rise to Chaotic Wrestling prominence was disrupted by the arrival of his old tag team partner, Dave Graves, in Chaotic in May of 2017.

### Feud with Dave Graves

Graves defeated the newly-crowned Josh Briggs for his CW New England Championship, becoming a champion in record time for Chaotic, and flashing the Three Deadly Venoms hand sign after the match. This infuriated Scott, who attacked Graves during his championship celebration, nailing him with his signature Starjammer as the champion addressed the audience.

A two out of three falls match was set between the two for 2017's *Breaking Point*, in which not only did Scott lose after two consecutive pinfalls, he was also put on the shelf with a concussion after being hit with Graves' Powderkeg Kick.

After graduating from the Hart Dungeon, Scott made his return to the ring a few months later. He attempted to reconcile with Graves, but was knocked clean out by a Big Iron from a newly-villainous Graves. This reignited their rivalry in the form of two critically-lauded matches, one of which saw Scott winning an Unsanctioned Match against Graves with the debut of a new signature move, the Victory Road. Due to the nature of the stipulation, the championship was not on the line, so Graves remained champion. In their second match, Graves won after hitting Scott with the Big Iron, retaining his championship and preventing Scott from challenging for the title for the duration of Graves' championship reign.

Barred from competing for the New England Championship, Scott partnered with Tyree Taylor to form The Millennium Men. While initially unsuccessful in tag team competition, the team rallied and defeated Bear Country at 2018's Elevated to win the Chaotic Wrestling Tag Team Championships. After holding the titles for five months, The Millennium Men lost their championships to The Maine State Posse at 2019's Reloaded, causing Scott to depart the promotion and go to Mexico.

## Lucha Libre AAA (2019-2020)

Scott made his debut in AAA in late 2019, winning and losing several matches while infuriating Mexican fans by complaining about the "unbearable heat and even more unbearable music". Despite two challenges for the AAA Mega Championship against reigning champion Fénix during 2019, he was unable to capture the title.

Aside from these title challenges, Scott's time in AAA was largely unremarkable, except for an encounter with former faction-mate and lucha libre specialist Karl Stone, who was also the reigning AAA Latin American Champion at the time, in a hotly anticipated match at 2019's *Triplemania*. A few months after this, Scott announced his signing to CWL, and departed Mexico to return to the United States.

## BAMF (2020)

Jay Scott competed in the first BAMF tournament in Tokyo, Japan, and was eliminated in the first round by Harris in the main event of night one. He did commentary for the rest of the tournament and to the surprise of many, only mentioned the orbital bone one time.

## XWA (2020-2021)

Jay Scott made his XWA debut as a part of a new tag team, The 100, alongside Drake Harrison]. They competed against DOA in their first contest, but lost. In their second match, facing off against the XWA World Champion, Cristi, and the number one contender, Morgan House, The 100 was much more successful, picking up a victory against their opponents after hitting The 100 Percent Splash and securing themselves a tag team title opportunity against the champions, The Storm. At Race for the Gold, the titles were contested in a triple threat tag match between The 100, The Militia, and reigning champions, The Storm. The Storm managed to retain the titles. Despite the almost universal fan hatred of Scott in most promotions he wrestles in, XWA fans have seemingly taken a liking to Scott, perhaps due to his pairing with perennial fan favorite Harrison. At the Xtreme Awards, The 100 competed for the tag titles again in a traditional tag team match, winning them at the company's final event.

## All Violence Wrestling and Point Blank Wrestling (2020-Present)

Jay Scott wrestled a few matches in AVW, winning some and losing some, but after one AVW show, fans began to notice a change in Scott's wrestling style when he was on AVW shows. This was brought to Scott's attention after he won the Chaos Championship in AVW and he was baffled, claiming that he had only wrestled three matches in AVW. This imposter held the Chaos Championship at the time, but after Jay Scott announced his plans to confront this man and defeat him, the imposter disappeared from AVW.

Scott returned to the twin promotions, but now found himself on the PBW brand, once again competing alongside Drake Harrison as The 100. Their first tag team match against The Lancers ended in a loss. After losing to Culture Inc, the match was deemed astounding enough to warrant a rematch, this time for the #1 contendership for the PBW Tag Team Championships. Winning the rematch and becoming the number one contenders, The 100 prepared to challenge for the Tag Team Championships.

## Wildfire Pro Wrestling (2020-Present)

Jay Scott has made a few appearances in Wildfire Pro Wrestling, with only his most recent match against Rico Fuego at Last Stand ending in victory. Scott and Drake Harrison announced that they plan to bring The 100 to Wildfire, challenging The Warboys at Blacklist 3.1 in a winning effort after smashing Krom with the 100 Percent Splash.

## MWWA (2021-Present)

Scott began competing in MWWA alongside longtime tag team partner Drake Harrison, quickly starting a rivalry against The Closest Thing to Heaven after their unsuccessful debut against McCloud and St. James, with Scott being on the receiving end of back-to-back pinfalls. In their second match against The Closest Thing to Heaven, The 100 scored a victory. The stakes for the rubber match were increased when it was announced that the winners would become the inaugural MWWA Tag Team Champions. The 100 were victorious after St. James caused a disqualification by using brass knuckles during the match. After the match, Scott declared his intentions to extend their rivalry to a best of 5 series, with the championships on the line. In their fourth match against each other, The 100 were victorious in a No Holds Barred match against The Closest Thing to Heaven, retaining their championships and ending the rivalry.

Soon afterwards, The Order (a different team from the legendary CWL stable) defeated The 100 in a non-title match. While Scott was able to score a victory over one member of the team in a singles match, The 100 decided that their tag team loss required them to put their tag titles on the line in a rematch against The Order. In the heated rematch, The 100 retained their championships when Drake Harrison hit Lance Porter with a Red Wing Knee to score the pinfall. When their next contenders, Death Comes Early, were named, the 100 began preparing to face them. After Jay Scott tapped out Deam Soulman, The 100 were given the opportunity to name the stipulation for their upcoming title match. The 100 decided on a submission match due to the submission victory they had already scored over one member of Death Comes Early.

After dominating most of MWWA's tag team division, management decided that it was time for the stakes to be raised. The 100 were placed in an elimination match against both The Closest Thing To Heaven and One Fall. The 100 managed to pull out a victory, retaining their championships for the fourth time. On the MWWA and PGW cross-brand event, Jay Scott and Drake Harrison wrestled the PGW tag team champions, Opposites Attract, in a 15 minute Iron Man match. The match started with both teams on relatively even footing, with each team scoring two falls, but as the match progressed, The 100 managed to pull ahead, scoring three falls and giving Opposites Attract their first tag team loss.

## CWL (2020-Present)

 File:Code Bled Nemesis 4.6.png  Scott made his CWL debut on Nemesis 4.6, losing his debut match to Connor Gates. His CWL pay-per-view debut was at Shadowbanned 4.8, where he lost to accomplished luchador FJA. Scott picked up his first CWL win against Jude Morgan at Nemesis 4.9. During this period, Nemesis General Manager Tommy Hazard and other members of CWL management requested that Scott take a commentary position in addition to his position as an in-ring competitor. Scott was the second CWL commentator to commentate for Genesis, Vindication, and Nemesis in one week. Scott has said that his commentary work has been lauded as "visionary" and "revolutionary". When questioned about Scott's claims, the CWL Chairman said that Scott is "fine, I guess".

### Starjammer LLC

 File:Mikey joins Starjammer.png  The group was formed when Jay Scott announced to the CWL that he was looking for a group of highly motivated and highly capable individuals looking to make their fortunes in the CWL. Soon after beginning commentary duties on all three CWL brands, Scott announced the formation of a new group in CWL that he called "Starjammer LLC". In the following two weeks, Scott recruited Rodrigo Del Gaiso from Nemesis and Toxicette from Genesis. Toxicette was recruited to serve as Starjammer LLC's representative in the women's division, and Del Gaiso was scouted due to his impressive performances against Dr. Wrestling Jr. At Vindication 4.13, a week after winning the Vindication Heavyweight Championship at Gold In The Bank, Michael Young announced that he was joining Starjammer LLC, making Starjammer LLC the first faction in CWL history to exist across all three brands, as well as being the first CWL faction to recruit a reigning champion. On Nemesis 4.13, Jay Scott and Rodrigo Del Gaiso decided to pursue the tag team championships, winning their first tag match together against Anarchy Inc. A week later, Toxicette successfully challenged Valkyrie for her Queen of Genesis Championship, capturing the group's first piece of Genesis gold. Toxicette was later fired by Scott, who cited a "lack of ambition" on the part of the former Queen of Genesis. Before 4.21, Scott announced at a press conference that Yui Nishimura had joined Starjammer LLC, claiming that she was to be the group's final member, which was later proved to be untrue when at Vindication 4.25, Jack Thunderheart called out Michael Young, but was ambushed by Pistolero, who revealed that he had joined Starjammer LLC, safeguarding Michael Young's championship.

#### **A Wild Card**

After Ryan Quinn declared his intention to join Starjammer LLC on Nemesis 4.13, Jay Scott dismissed the notion, claiming that Quinn no longer had what it took to run with a group like Starjammer LLC. However, after Quinn was able to defeat Rodrigo Del Gaiso in singles competition, Jay Scott said that if Quinn could defeat the team of Del Gaiso and Scott with a partner of his choice at Nemesis 4.15, he would be permitted to join Starjammer LLC. Quinn selected Jude Morgan as his partner, but Morgan was attacked by backstage by Del Gaiso before the match, making the contest a handicap match between Ryan Quinn and Starjammer LLC. Quinn was defeated, but Scott announced that Quinn still had what it took, that he had "a spark of greatness", and Quinn was given a provisional Starjammer LLC contract.

 File:Del Gaiso submits Quinn.png  On Nemesis 4.17, Quinn and Scott tagged together against the War Boys in a losing effort, and in the aftermath, Rodrigo Del Gaiso rushed down to the ring to help Scott beat down the War Boys. As the two tried to carry out their cowardly assault, they were stopped by Quinn, who tried to get Scott to leave the War Boys alone. The next week at Nemesis 4.18, Quinn announced that he had made the wrong choice by joining Starjammer LLC and wanted to terminate his provisional contract. Jay accepted his request, but only under the condition that Quinn face Rodrigo Del Gaiso in a submission match at Merry Mayhem. Quinn and Del Gaiso faced off in that match, with Del Gaiso emerging as the victor, much to the delight of Scott.

#### **Broken Dreamboats**

 File:MDC and Dreamboats.png  On Christmas Eve in 2020, Jay Scott encountered Matthew Ramirez after Ramirez had been kicked out of Jake Eagle's holiday party, soon after the Dreamboats had lost the CWL Tag Team Championships. Scott took advantage of Ramirez's misfortune, and manipulated him into dissolving the Dreamboats. He created a contract (with the consent of CWL management) that would give Ramirez a Twitch Championship match, but at the cost of permanently disbanding the Dreamboats, which Ramirez signed at Nemesis 4.23. Jake Eagle was infuriated by this, and challenged any member of Starjammer LLC to a match at Global Warning, which Rodrigo Del Gaiso accepted. The match lasted just under a minute and ended in a disqualification win for Eagle, who was attacked by Scott after Del Gaiso threw Eagle over the ropes into the ringside area. After the bell rang, both Del Gaiso and Scott viciously beat Eagle with a baseball bat, sending him to the hospital for further evaluation, though he suffered only minor injuries. Eagle returned two weeks later, surprising Del Gaiso after a win against Alex Perez and issuing a challenge to the duo for the Nemesis Supershow 4.27. Scott and Del Gaiso accepted the challenge, believing that the contract Ramirez signed would prevent him from participating in the match and that Eagle would be forced to find a new tag team partner on the night, but the Chairman overrode the contract and allowed Ramirez to partner with Eagle. The Dreamboats rekindled their friendship and reunited as a tag team, defeating Starjammer LLC and breaking their undefeated streak.

#### **Money Drip Crew**

On Nemesis 4.13, Jay Scott and Rodrigo Del Gaiso teamed together for the first time against the team of Jacob Nitro and Stark Shields, picking up a victory. After the show, Scott tweeted that he and Del Gaiso intended to beef up their tag team record together to possibly challenge for the CWL Tag Team Championships. At Nemesis 4.15, Del Gaiso and Scott defeated Ryan Quinn in a handicap match, technically bringing their tag team record to an undefeated 2-0, which is frequently mentioned by Scott. However, the team suffered their first defeat at the hands of the reunited American Dreamboats, a loss that Scott refuses to acknowledge, insisting that the team was still undefeated, as according to the contract Ramirez had previously signed, he technically should have not been allowed to participate in the match.

#### **Flying into Battle Lines 4**

 File:Fly Def at Battle Lines.png  In the wake of their loss to the American Dreamboats, Scott was furious at the Chairman for voiding the contract. He unleashed a verbal tirade on the Chairman and the rest of CWL leadership at Nemesis 4.29, challenging him to put them against any tag team in a match at Battle Lines. During the next week, the Chairman released a response on social media, accepting the challenge and saying that he already knew what team he was going to pick. At Nemesis 4.31, it was revealed that ROW veterans Zack Mason and Warren Johnson, collectively known as Fly Def, would be representing the Chairman at Battle Lines. The match at Battle Lines was competitive and hard-fought, but ended in a submission loss for Del Gaiso and Scott. Scott insisted afterwards that because Fly Def is not a registered CWL team, the match should not count towards their record, a request that was ignored by CWL management.

#### **Claiming the Gold**

 File:MDC Tag Title Win.png  After Battle Lines 4, Jay Scott and Jacob Nitro got into an argument on social media, resulting in a singles match being organized between the two of them for Nemesis 4.34. Prior to the match, Scott revealed that he had convinced CWL management to not only give him the singles match with Nitro, but also organized a match for the CWL Tag Team Championships at Titan Clash. In their singles contest, Scott came out on top, pinning Nitro with a Victory Road from the top rope. Just two weeks before Titan Clash, Nitro's tag team partner and fellow champion left CWL, leaving him scrambling for a replacement. At the event, it was revealed that he had selected his former brother in The Disciples, Bryan Adams. Despite this significant hurdle, Scott and Del Gaiso triumphed over the new Anarchy Inc, winning the tag team championships. On the next episode of Nemesis, Nitro attempted to redeem his rematch clause that he had earned due to his three successful defenses of the titles to get a match at Supremacy 4, but Scott pointed out that Nitro's defenses had been with a previous partner, not Bryan Adams. Due to this discrepancy, Scott demanded that Jacob Nitro convince Alex Perez to give Rodrigo Del Gaiso a shot at the Nemesis Heavyweight Championship on a future episode of Nemesis. Perez agreed to give Del Gaiso the shot, but at Supremacy, meaning that Del Gaiso would have to wrestle two matches in one night. Scott was desperate to avoid this, and was approached by Raymondo, who offered him a solution in the form of a six-man winner-take-all match at Supremacy with both titles on the line, with Raymondo as the third man for Scott and Del Gaiso's team. Scott accepted the offer, and the match was made official. In the match itself, Scott and Del Gaiso retained their tag team championships, and Del Gaiso won the Nemesis Heavyweight Championship. At the next pay-per-view, Jailbreak, Scott and Del Gaiso defended their tag team titles against the Broken Standard, the team of Edward Bronson and Bruhbble, where they lost their championships after Scott passed out in the Bloke Breaker.

#### **EndGame 4**

 File:MDC at EndGame 4.png  At Nemesis 4.45, Connor Gates announced that he would use Tora Khan's Battle for Supremacy title opportunity to challenge for Rodrigo Del Gaiso's Nemesis Heavyweight Championship at EndGame 4. Scott interrupted Gates, declaring that Del Gaiso would defeat him and challenging him to a match at Nemesis 4.46, which Gates accepted. Scott won the match with the Gordian Knot, surprising many, and Gates was ambushed by Rodrigo Del Gaiso after the match. Gates was able to fend off the attack and escaped. The next week, Scott hosted a contract signing for Gates' match at EndGame, which ended with Gates putting Scott through a table. At EndGame, Del Gaiso and Gates had a hard-fought match, which ended with Gates winning after a Code Bled, and capturing the Nemesis Heavyweight Championship.

#### **Starjammer "United"**

On the first Nemesis of Season 5, Pistolero appeared with the YouTube Championship, with Jay Scott confirming on commentary that Pistolero had officially switched brands and was bringing the championship with him. Scott claimed that Starjammer LLC would be unstoppable now that they had every male member of the group on the Nemesis roster. Dave Graves disagreed with this assertion and challenged Pistolero for the YouTube Championship. Graves and Scott met in the middle of the ring on Nemesis 5.2 to discuss the match, deciding that it would happen at Exiled, but Graves was not satisfied with this and requested an additional match on Nemesis 5.3 against Scott, to which Scott reluctantly agreed. After relentless training throughout the week, Scott managed to win the match, leeching some momentum from Graves before he challenged for the title. Despite Scott's victory, Graves was able to defeat Pistolero at Exiled, winning the YouTube Championship and becoming the first member of the Three Deadly Venoms to hold singles gold on either Vindication or Nemesis. After the show's main event, Jay Scott was attacked at the commentary table by a returning Michael Young, who powerbombed Scott through the table before celebrating in the ring to end the show.

After a heated exchange of words between Young and Scott on Nemesis 5.5, Scott declared "open season" on his former faction member. On Nemesis 5.6, Pistolero attacked Michael Young after his match with Kyro, but opted not to hit the Cruiserweight Killer, despite being in prime position for it. The next week on Nemesis 5.7, Michael Young came to the ring for a match, but Scott ambushed him with Pistolero at his side. Scott beat down Young, but when ordered to participate, Pistolero turned on Scott. Outnumbered, Scott fled the ring as Young and Pistolero reformed the Highwaymen, breaking away from Starjammer LLC. On Nemesis 5.9, Pistolero announced that he and Michael Young would be facing the Money Drip Crew at Gold in the Bank. As an act of retribution, Jay Scott attacked Selena Adams, a friend of Young's, during a confrontation between her and Yui Nishimura. Prior to their tag team match at Gold in the Bank, Pistolero faced off against Scott in a singles match, crushing Scott with the CWK after a dominant showing. In their highly-anticipated tag team match, The Highwaymen were able to get the victory after a brutal clash between the four former teammates, with Pistolero putting down Rodrigo Del Gaiso with a CWK. On Nemesis 5.13, Michael Young celebrated his victory over Scott, but Scott interrupted. After a brief argument, the two agreed to a singles match at Zero Hour. If Michael Young won, Starjammer LLC would be forced to disband. If Scott won, Young would be forced to retire. To make things even more chaotic, the match was to be decided under End of the Line rules, meaning that the match would be 2/3 falls and there would be no disqualifications. In an attempt to prevent Pistolero from accompanying Michael Young to Zero Hour, Jay Scott ordered Rodrigo Del Gaiso to attack Pistolero after a match, injuring his neck with a chair. Evening the odds, Michael Young battered Del Gaiso in a similar attack the next week, meaning that neither man would have any ringside assistance during the match. In the match, Michael Young picked up back-to-back pinfalls, winning the contest and forcing Starjammer LLC to disband.

### A New Mystery

With Starjammer LLC disbanded, Scott was left directionless. Agonizing over his loss to Young, he began to reflect on the many mistakes he had made as both a wrestler and a person.
