**Sodapop Smith** (real name Jackson Wiard-Escobar) is an American professional wrestler who competes in GTS.

In BFCW, he played Root Beer Schmidt.

## GTS

Sodapop Smith's first appearance in GTS was when he tried to steal Mathias Glass's TV from the garbage, when he was caught, Glass, Grim, El Jefe Rojo and The Whompis threw him into the ring and beat down on him with numerous finishing moves, including Whompis' mandible claw after Whompis scratched both of Grim's armpits. Is number 1 chicken tender for the GTS United States Championship

Smith reappeared as a protégé of Draiken.

On April 16, 2017, Sodapop competed in an Easter Egg Hunt Match, sticking to his gimmick, he looked for an Easter Egg in the garbage and found one that contained a shot at the GTS Tag Team Championships, he picked Ace Marxman as his partner and they fought Manabo for the titles in a handicap match, since Fake Manabo no-showed, Smith and Marxman won the match and became the new GTS Tag Team Champions, and turning face in the process for the first time in his GTS career. Inspite seemingly turning face, Smith continued to watch matches on the villainous side of the ring.

After GTS moved to a warehouse, while still one of the tag team champions with Ace, Sodapop abandoned his Greaser/Thief gimmick when Jay Medic joined AcePop, the team abandoned the AcePop name and debuted a SWAT gimmick under the stable name SWAT City (often called Twat City by Grim and Manabo), with Smith telling Grim "I am done dancing for your fans", in their first match as SWAT City, Ace and Smith successfully defended the Tag Titles against Drax Maysin and Jimmy Controversy.

On the 15th of May 2017, Smith and Medic defended the tag titles against Grim and Rojo, but the match ended in a no contest after an interference from Jeff the Killer, who then abducted Smith and Medic.

At Food in the Fridge, Smith won a Junk in the Trunk fatal 5 way elimination match to become Mr. Junk in the Trunk, and then almost immediately cashed it in on the newly-crowned United States champion at the time, Thunder Rosa (thus making Grim change Smith's in-ring name to 'Soda-Twat Smith').

He lost a match to Jake Cage in a title vs career match. However, the next day, he returned under the nickname Diet Soda. On March 21st, he turned Heel and attacked newly crown GTS United States Champion, Ron Voyage and started acted like a crazed psychopath. A match has been scheduled for him to face Voyage at Grimamania.

He then started acting insane, complaining about winning titles. He finally realized his dream when he captured the Intercontinental Championship at Grimamania.

Sodapop made a return in June 2019, with a new Terminator-style gimmick, being nearly impervious to any attack, including surviving being (Kayfabe) shot at point-blank range.

On September 16 2020, Sodapop announce on twitter that he officially parted ways with GTS wrestling as an on screen role. He also thanked Grim, the GTS roster and the fans for the support during his 3-year run with the company.

He Returned in September 2021, turning face, and officially joining DF for the 1st time

In August 2022 he returned to face Kurt Bale in the Grim vs Kleetus war for booking control.
