### **Gimmick**

Gatekeeper

   **Silver Bro** was a wrestler in the City British Wrestling promotion from Little Glittering in Reading. He was part of The Precious Metals tag team with his younger brother, Golden Joe, and his father was Platinum Pete. He had a small ego in comparison to his brother and thus always supported him. Due to his upbringing, he would happily come second to make sure his brother won. As his brother grew more distant, however, he became increasingly geared towards his own victories and his daughter, Titanium Tina, until he was banished from the promotion forever.

## Appearance

Bro wore a black mullet and nice black pants with silver stripes down them. He wore big shades, and was much taller than his brother.

## Biography

### Early life

When he was nine years old, he once playfighted in the garden with one of his friends from school. Being twice his height despite being the same age, Bro's friend fell and hit his head on a rock when they tried a test of strength. Platinum Pete, his father, stopped Silver from helping the boy, saying that the fight wasn't over. Despite this, Bro helped his friend and so dissapointed Pete. (*A Regal Engagement*) It later became Bro's belief that Golden Joe, his new little brother, was a "do-over" after Pete failed to get what he wanted from Bro. (*The Colossal Tussle II*)

Bro once held Joe as a baby. (*Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

They grew up wrestling teddy bears in their bedroom. Bro taught Joe how to suplex the stuffed animals, but they would never wrestle each other. (*Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

He and Joe had a made-up backyard wrestling promotion called the Trampoline Federation as kids in which they practiced moves on each other. Other kids would watch and Bro always booked himself to lose, so the kids called him a loser. It inspired Bro to be in a tag team with Joe. During one match, Joe was impressed by Bro's knowledge of moves from tapes they bought off the internet. Bro encouraged Joe, who was feeling insecure about his ability. Pete watched this unfold. (*The Regal Wrangle*, *Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

In a school assembly presentation about who he was proud of, Bro talked about his brother and said he was going to be a champion. Joe was embarrased by this. (*Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

On a family holiday, he and Joe went to an arcade and played Street Fighter. Bro let him pick one of the good characters, but he felt patronised that Bro refused to win. (*Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

When they were called up to City British Wrestling, Bro believed Joe would achieve the family's dream of being champion. (*Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

### Partying with the Milkman

Bro once claimed that he "was partying with The Milkman a few years back," and implied that they used hallucinogenic drugs. (*The Milkman's Retirement*)

### Earning a Tag Team Championship place

Joe and Bro were first seen when they appeared through smoke and lasers as The Precious Metals to fight for a place in the next Tag Team Championship match. They went up against The Cockney Knockers (Geezer and The Pearly Queen). After Joe had dealt damage to both of his opponents over the course of the match, Joe made a hot tag on Bro who did the Silver Spooner on Geezer while Joe performed the Rock Solid. Geezer collapsed from exhaustion, which gave The Precious Metals the win. (*Welcome To City British Wrestling*)

### Family therapy and drug trip

The next week, Joe brought him to Dr Head Shruckner as he believed Bro was jealous. He criticised Bro's use of the Silver Spooner in their last match as it took attention away from him. Head got them to visit a shaman in the Chester sand wastes to heal their zouls. The shaman made them eat a hallucinogenic that made them believe they were fighting humanoid sand figures. Bro's apparition applied a full nelson upon him and he passed out. When he came to, he thought Joe had saved him from the demon, when Joe likely was the apparition himself. (*The Milkman's Retirement*)

### Seeing Andy Datson in hospital

Bro went to see a very sick boy in hospital named Andy Datson, and created a move named after him; the Datson Double Axe. (*The Regal Wrangle*)

### The Regal Wrangle

During the Regal Wrangle, Bro's shoulder was snapped by Girder. He dodged Pylon's punches who accidentally punched Girder, then he double clotheslined them. He did Joe's Rock Solid move to get the audience to chant "Joe!" However, they continued chanting "Bro!" Bro picked up Girder and Joe helped. Bro judo chopped Pylon's arm and thus succeeded, but Girder attacked Joe who had taken credit for her elimination. Bro eliminated himself to save Joe and pulled Girder away. He told her to leave.

Later, while Bro was giving Joe a pep talk, The Denimatrix struck Joe across the chest. When Joe was eliminated, Bro comiserated with him. Joe was angry he got silver and not gold, and blamed Bro. (*The Regal Wrangle*)

### Fighting Kid Flippz and father's dissapointment

Bro walked into his fight with Kid Flippz in his Golden Joe merch, but couldn't stop the crowd saying "Bro!" Kid told him to "take care of your family before they're gone." During the match, Bro dazed Kid with a shoulder block. He didn't want to hurt Kid, but Joe (the referee) said "you can't come second all your life." Taking this advice, Bro pinned Kid. However, Joe was distracted and Kid reversed the pin. When Kid weakly attacked Joe for counting the pin slowly, Bro hit Kid with the Silver Spooner. He won when Joe did a quick count.

Platinum Pete walked into the ring and said he was proud of his boys, but dissapointed after the Regal Wrangle. Bro thought it was because Pete never wanted the two to be a tag team, and wanted them to go for the world title. Pete had them go through a childhood photo montage. The photos showed that Bro always held up and taught his brother, often to his own detriment. (*Kid Flippz Vs The Milkman*)

### Winning the Tag Team Championship

The Precious Metals had a Tag Team Championship match at the Colossal Tussle against The Constructi-Bombs. They entered to their photo montage from the previous week to chants of "Bro! Joe! Bro! Joe!" They said how they'd get gold but that **Silver Bro** would keep his name as they had a lot of tees to sell.

When Bro failed to execute a shoulder block, Joe told him to "stop being so flashy." He later called Pylon "Py*dumb*." While the referee was distracted, Girder cracked his skull, but Joe shoulder dived to save him. Bro broke Pylon's bones with his Datson Axe Handle. He ran from her Wrecking Ball move then flipped over her, and she collided with the turnbuckle. He pinned her with the Silver Spooner, winning the match and the Tag Team Champion title belt.

The brothers celebrated. Platinum Pete came down to the ring, disspaointed with Joe. As he was about to speak, Joe hit his father over the head then beat him unconscious. Bro watched with his head in his hands. Fight Nurse maneuvered Pete onto a stretcher, and he walked out with them. Pete came to for a second, and whispered something in his ear. (*The Colossal Tussle*)

### City British hiatus

Over the two-year hiatus of City British Wrestling, Bro did not talk to or see Joe, who had gone to Hollywood. He stayed at home with Platinum Pete and raised a new child, Titanium Tina.

### Return to CBW

He walked out to his match against Mable Syrup at the first Friday Night Lightning after the hiatus in an attempt to take her Canadian Battle Champion title, accompanied by a picture of him looking lovingly at his brother on the Wrestletron. The picture was then replaced by him holding Titanium Tina. He got the crowd chanting "Joe!" and dedicated the match to Tina.

In the match, Bro shoulder blocked her thrice. He was too tall for several of her moves to hit. He attempted two Silver Splashes, but she dodged out of the way both times. Thinking about his child, he launched her onto her back with the Silver Spooner, then tried to pin her. She escaped on the two count and pegged him to win instead. He locked eyes with Joe who was at the top of the ramp.

Later, in his dressing room, he and Pete looked at photos of him and Joe, of a younger Platinum Pete holding the City British Championship belt, and of Bro holding Tina. Despite Pete believing that everything in the family was for Joe and that he would never be champion, Pete reassured him that he was always the one in the family destined for it. Bro resolved that he would win the championship for Tina. (*Welcome BACK To City British Wrestling*)

### Flippz's funeral

At Kid Flippz's funeral a week after his death, Bro followed Joe's speech by saying that Kid's death made him think about his own family. He said he might try to do a flip depite his weight and height to pay his respects, "for the good guys."

Bro found his brother watching his *Dog Walker* movies in the garden of their childhood home. They talked about Tina. Bro wanted him to meet her, but Joe was too scared of seeing Pete after he assaulted him. They spoke of becoming a tag team again, but Joe seemed to be only interested because it would benefit the audience's perception of him. Joe was also annoyed that he had been replaced in Bro's entrance video. He asked Bro to choose either himself or Tina for the graphic, so Bro asked him to think about the family and left. (*Let's Do A Sad!*)

### Fighting the Transatlantic Champions

Later, Bro had decided to re-team The Precious Metals to fight The Transatlantic Champions to retain the Tag Team Champion title. He walked out after Joe with his tag belt; a picture of himself and Tina appeared on the Wrestletron, then Golden Joe appeared too. The two shook hands. Mable and Denim gave them each a cake.

Joe tagged Bro in after shoving one of the cakes in Denim's face. She tried to spit the cake into his eyes, but he ducked and it hit Joe instead. Bro attempted the moonsault he promised in memory of Kid, but fell on his face. Denim jumped on his back like a trampoline while he tried doing press-ups, which cracked something in his spine. Mable's Border Integrity move damaged his spine further. She threw him and tried her Sorry, Not Sorry move, but he no-sold it and criticised her for illegaly using a chair. He expected to tag Joe in, but Joe was in the medical corner because of the cake in his hair. Instead, he peformed a Silver Splash then succeeded with a Silver Spooner and pin.

After their win, Joe said the tag team wasn't working anymore. He wanted Tina to be taken off Bro's entrance entirely, and said it was a bad match despite their win as they didn't hit their double team move together. Joe asked for Bro's tag belt so he could find a new brother to partner with. In retaliation, Bro said "maybe dad was right about you," and said Pete was a better man than Joe was. (*Let's Do A Sad!*)

### The Regal Wrangle II

In a promo for his appearance at the Wrangle, Bro looked at a photo of him and Tina in the communal locker room and thought about what he'd been through. He said to the camera that he'd spent his whole life coming second, and that maybe today he'd come first; "The Winner Takes It All", as ABBA once said.

At the Wrangle, he walked down to the ring with more purpose than ever before. He handed over the tag belt to Joe, and stepped out of the ring. Both of his feet touched the floor, and he walked to the back. He cast his mind back to when he was nine years old and his father stopped him from helping a friend. (*A Regal Engagement*)

### The Trial of Golden Joe

Bro operated as Joe's council of defense when he was on trial for assaulting their father. Bro initially upheld Joe's not guilty plead, but later buckled and said "we know he did it". During questioning, Pete said he had never been more proud of his family, particularly Bro. Despite this, Bro saw himself as a coward for walking away from the Wrangle. He criticised Pete's methods of bringing up Joe. Pete told him to "do it for Tina".

Bro joined Joe to fight The Prosecutioner in a judge match, reforming as the Precious Metals to defend Joe's 'innocence'. However, when Joe asked Bro to distract the giant, but Bro stepped off the apron and started walking to the back. Much later, when the Prosecutioner put Joe in a noose for the Final Prosecution finisher, Bro stepped in and gave the man a big boot to the back of the head. However, Bro was brushed to the side like a fly and he collided with the turnbuckle. Joe was forced to submit.

QC pronounced Joe guilty and almost fired him from City British Wrestling forever. However, as a personal favour to Platinum Pete and his bloodline, QC gave the sentence of a match at the Colossal Tussle between Joe and Bro, in which the loser would leave town forever. (*Wrestlers' Court*)

### Colossal Tussle II and firing

Bro entered first to his match at the Colossal Tussle, with no pyro and no Wrestletron. He walked to the ring, incredibly dejected. Joe's entrance featured footage of Bro losing on the Wrestletron, as well as a rendition of Joe's new song "Golden Joe" which he sang to Bro.

> One last silver medal for Silver Bro
>
> Silver Bro, The Colossal Tussle II

He spoke of their victory against The Constructi-Bombs two years ago and said Joe was his favourite person on the planet, but that no one liked Joe. He recounted what he had read from Mave Deltzer in the dirt sheets, and hoped she gave the last match, which had resulted in Tony the Milkman's death, a really good write-up. He accused "Golden Joke" of trying to profit from Kid Flippz' death. Despite all of this, he said Joe was destined to lead the promotion. He put forward that Joe was Pete's "do-over" after Bro wasn't what he wanted. He had failed to save Joe from himself, but could not fail Tina, so decided to take second place.

On the bell, Bro laid down on the mat, and Joe immediately ran in for the cover. After the two-count Joe relented, explaining that he needed a "Golden Bro" so he could beat him properly. Bro said "that's the Joe I'm looking for" and knocked him to the mat four times in a row. As he prepared for a Silver Splash, Bro heard footsteps and saw Pete holding Tina, who was taking her first steps. Joe took advantage and locked in the Full Golden. Despite Bro's belief that the old Joe was still in there, he saw Tina watching him with wide eyes, and tapped out to let Joe win.

After the match, Tina toddled over to Bro, who was to be fired from City British Wrestling forever. (*The Colossal Tussle II*)

## Entrances

Bro's entrances to matches were significantly more muted compared to his brother as he tended to give the stage to him, and was incredibly humble. They usually did not feature the Wrestletron nor fancy lighting and stayed relatively consistent throughout his career.

## Signature moves

Bro had some signature moves.

* **Silver Splash** - A Stinger splash.
* **Silver Spooner** - A jackhammer move in which he held his opponent in the air and flexed.
* **Datson Double Axe**/**Datson Axe Handle** - A double axe handle, named after sick young boy Andy Datson
* **Brothers In Arms** - a double shoulder block alongside his brother, Golden Joe.
