DeMarcus Turner is an American professional wrestler currently signed to Three Lions Wrestling, Canadian Wrestling Coalition and Republica de Lucha Libre, where he is the current RLL Corazon de Lucha Libre Champion. DeMarcus is a well loved wrestler inside the GWA and has quietly become one of the biggest names in the Alliance over the past year.

DeMarcus is widely known for his "City Boy" moniker, which is an internet term to describe someone who is very successful with his attempts with women. Other than that, his fun and explosive style of wrestling has caught eyes of fans across the world since he made his debut in SWS.

## Early Life

DeMarcus was born on November 11th 2003, in Chicago, Illinois to a poverty stricken family living in the Parkway Gardens apartment complex in gangland Southside Chicago. DeMarcus' father; Michael was constantly in a cycle of incarceration during the early periods of DeMarcus' childhood due to his actions as a known gang member. This cycle would end on April 9th, 2009 when DeMarcus' father was shot dead in the late hours of the evening by a group of rival gang members, just after getting out of his 1995 Chevrolet Impala. Authorities stated that this attack was in retaliation for a shooting that had occurred the month prior on enemy territory that left 1 man dead. No one was ever arrested for Michael's murder. DeMarcus was just 5 years old.

### Life with No Direction

From the age of 5, DeMarcus was left without a father figure in a household where his mother; Dee was a crack addict. As a result, DeMarcus spent his hours outside of school in an environment where no one would be expected to succeed, surrounded by terrible influences. At the age of 13, DeMarcus was recruited to join the Black Disciple gang that his father was a member of previously. Before this time, DeMarcus tried to stay out of trouble and play basketball with his friends but as soon as his friends also joined the gang life, there wasn't a situation where him joining too would not be normal. At the age of 14, DeMarcus started selling drugs to people in his local area, trying to make the most money he could to rise up the ranks. By the age of 16, DeMarcus had been arrested 10 different times for crimes such as robbery, intent to sell and possession of a firearm. At the age of 17, he decided to start rapping seeing the success other former Parkway Gardens residents had, including Chief Keef and King Von, who he was friends with before his death. At this time, he also started posting on social media and his clips went viral, giving him an income stream which was legal.

### Life Changes

On December 14th 2020, his mother; Dee would lose her battle with cancer, and on her death bed urged him to change his life. He knew that if he carried on the way he did, he would end up with the same fate his father received, so he tried to get more positive influences in his lifestyle. He used his social media money to start attending a gym, where he met a future father figure who would take him under his wing. He happened to own a wrestling school adjacent to the gym, and let him train and live on the floor of the school while he got on his feet. DeMarcus began to learn how to wrestle by using moves he watched as a kid, and his rap career began to take off allowing him to get an apartment outside of the Southside. His hit single "Sniper" and his new wrestling career gave him a new potential career path as he was offered a contract with SWS.

## Time to Hit the Squared Circle

DeMarcus began his wrestling career in the start up GWA company; SWS in Spain where he gained a quick fanbase due to his character and good looks. He never really showed his true ability in SWS but he learned a lot from his time there before it disbanded. From there, he would make his way to Emerald City Pro Wrestling and Three Lions Wrestling to further gain more experience. It was in those companies that he hit mainstream popularity and his wrestling ability dramatically improved with his new added confidence. DeMarcus would later form the faction; The Succession alongside Christian Catalyst, Sanami Utopia and Veronica Blaze to make a point of elevating other young talent alongside him. DeMarcus would defeat Marco Rodriguez to become CWC Provinces Champion and capture his first championship in wrestling.

Over his time in wrestling, he has had an off and on rivalry with Alex Blaze, DeMarcus defeated Alex in the first match of Alex's retirement tour at TLW Fight Club in Paris, France. Alex would later turn heel and form the APEX faction but would be annoyed when his daughter; Veronica, sided with DeMarcus' faction instead of APEX. Alex has been trying to turn DeMarcus' stablemate and friend Christian Catalyst against him and their feud will conclude at TLW Starrcade at Wembley Stadium.

DeMarcus has had his most successful run in Mexico, where he was able to capture his first ever world championship after defeating Pedro Rodrigues at RLL Boom or Bust. He continues to defend this title and try to show he is one of the elite wrestlers in the world.

## Personal Life

DeMarcus as his nickname suggests has been a very active person in the dating cycle, he met his first girlfriend; Malaysia Dupree on Instagram in 2020 without realising she was French. She was completely different to him as she came from a wealthy background, but she never judged him and they stayed together throughout the time DeMarcus was in SWS. On September 13th 2022, the fears he got from his mother came true but to someone else he loved, as Malaysia passed away from a drug overdose. This was one of the key moments in DeMarcus' mental growth, as he had to battle his grief and address his mental health by going to therapy. He realised that nothing in life is guaranteed and knew he had to get on the right track.

DeMarcus would meet his second girlfriend Skye Blue, in March 2023 after saving her from a public attack from Alessia Anderson. They would start dating soon after and is still with Skye as he moves into the next steps of his life.

DeMarcus has lost a lot of people he has loved throughout his life to violence, and thus developed paranoia and trust issues, and he battles with his mental health everyday. He resides in Miami, Florida to avoid the potential risk of violence that he could face in his home city, meaning he cannot see a lot of his remaining family.

DeMarcus owns a pet lizard called Cornelius.
