Brad Winters

**Bradley Winters** (real name **Spencer John** **Bradley**) is a professional wrestler signed to CWL.

## Early Career

Bradley came from a family with a long sports lineage in football, but was deemed 'too small' to succeed in that endeavor, and pursued other sports. He would play baseball for the University of Wyoming Cowboys for three years, where he'd receive a career-ending knee injury due to an accidental stomp during a slide maneuver.

Bradely would enter professional wrestling, floundering on the US independent circuit until being invited to train in Japan in 2014.

## OICW and BCW + OCW Combat Center (2018-2022)

Bradley debuted under his birth name in Oni Isshiki Championship Wrestling, debuting in the King of Oni Tournament 2016, reaching the semifinals before being eliminated by eventual winner Amatsu Miura. He would later compete in multiple singles matches against the like of Saggitarius Jones, Bigg Smoke, Tatsuyori Kawaki, Sho Kanata, and Ryu Hajimete, on his way to challenge Wes Exeter for the OICW Ironman Championship in an unsuccessful effort. He would end up teaming with Exeter to win the OICW Junior Heavyweight and Heavyweight tag team titles, later joining him in the Knights of the Round stable.

While in the Knights of the Round, Bradley would win the OICW Junior Heavyweight and Ironman Titles on multiple occasions, before eventually being ejected from the group in a failed coup against Exeter. The two would face off in an Iron Man match for Bradley's Ironman Championship, with Exeter winning five falls to four.

Returning to the US for the first time, he would wrestle in Boneyard Championship Wrestling under the name Bradley Winters, debuting in a winning effort against former BCW champion Matthias Mitchell. The two would then team intermittently while trading singles wins, before participating in a BCW X-League cruiserweight championship fatal five way against Dickey Sharp, Danny Chase, Rocco Rogerio, and Johnathan X Eaton, which Rogerio won. Chase and Winters would begin teaming the next show back as The CounterCulture, entering a tag team title eliminator fatal four way against Ruff Rydas, The Varsity, and MEAT, defeating the other teams to win a championship opportunity against The Slater Boys, which they would win. They would defend the titles twice before losing them at BCW The Fight Before Christmas to The Sin Commission, after Chase betrayed Winters to join the organization. The two would feud over the BCW X-League Championship, with Winters winning the belt before losing the rematch at BCW Grandest Stage. He would enter the 3rd Ladder To Success match, but was unsuccesful.

He would temporarily retire from in-ring competition to join the training team in the OCW Combat Center.

## CWL (2022 - present)

Bradley would make his debut in CWL on the April 4, 2022 episode of CWL Genesis, defeating Alan Danger. He would then challenge back to back matches with Jondero Ortiz would follow, being defeated via pinfall in both. He would then challenge Chris Young to a singles match, defeating Young with a Rolling Death near the ropes. Controversy ensued when the ref did not recognize Young's hands on the ropes. The following week, the two would face each other in a no-holds-barred match, which Young won via Dragon Sleeper. Bradley would later participate in a tornado tag elimination battle royal on Genesis, which he lost. In the aftermath of the match, Winters proposed an alliance to former rival Jondero Ortiz.
